deployed stuffs desigend to lift robots...


I dont know about you all, but depoyed sure sounds like... umm.... let me google it.

v.tr.

To position (troops) in readiness for combat, as along a front or line.
To bring (forces or material) into action.
To base (a weapons system) in the field.
To distribute (persons or forces) systematically or strategically.
To put into use or action: “Samuel Beckett's friends suspected that he was a genius, yet no one knew . . . how his abilities would be deployed” (Richard Ellmann).
v.intr.
To be or become deployed.

deploy

The verb deploy has 2 meanings:

anyway... deploy sounds like... to put/place. and in most of those examples, what is deployed in not connected to the thing that deployed. I think you should be able to deploy a ramp, or other lifting mechanizim... and as long as they arnt physically attached by anything more than touching... then you should be able to used deployed ramps.

In a certain game i play(not the one in sig), when i die... i get the message: deployed defences shot down pbhead! and the defences are certainly not attached to who ever deployed them...


I dont know... i think a robot should be able to make itself score those points... its kinda odd if it could not.

and that rule about mechanizims.... what i think they mean there, is that you cant have a seprate entity on the field... meaning you cant have a romote contoled crame to lift yourself up... once its disattached... it cant act like a mechanizim... so if you... say blew up a really big ballon under your robot, and then unhooked the air... and then it would elevate you, and would no longer be part of your robot... since its just a bag 0' air...


i dont know... i am stupid.
