Re: RACK & ROLL Reaction
In one sense, the game is a letdown because it is so much like Toroid Terror.
This is a very interesting game, mostly because of the weight classes. At first you say "This is awesome!" but it really restricts your robot. If you design your bot to be small, (from how I'm interpreting everything) you have to be heavier and that's going to take your ability to be lifted away unless other robots happen to design something that can support your weight (which is very easy to do with the right materials and the right structure). If you are tall and light, the challenge becomes making sure you have a low center-of-mass (more weight at the base, less weight at the top) so that you don't tip. It's going to be tough.
As for scoring overall, speed and being able to use the camera are gonna be key here at all ends of the game. And that goes for all classes. And one question, are super-CIM or additional CIM motors legal this year? (I know this is a rules question, but knowing this rule will have a lot of effect on the game.)
