Go to Post If it's the loss of American lives that concerns the nation, why not campaign aggressively against smoking, or improve automobile safety? At least then, the benefits will be tangible, and substantially more significant to the well being of the locals. - Tristan Lall [more]

Motors

sorry if this question was already stated. The rules state that you can use for cim motors and four ban-bot motors. does this mean at the same time? or do you have to choose. also please don't tell me to just check a certain rule please state it.

Re: Motors

First: It's clear in the rules. So, . I'm sorry if you don't like it, but you have to learn to deal with it.

Second, <R45-A> specifically permits "all motors, actuators, and servos listed in the 2011 KOP Checklist", which includes 4 BaneBots and 2 CIMs. If you were limited to four total, <R45-A> would be invalid/contradicting.

They are different motors, governed by different parts of <R45>. CIMs are governed by <R45-C>, and BaneBots are governed by <R45-D>. <R45-C> allows up to 4 CIMs. <R45-D> allows up to 4 BaneBots in any combination of the 4 models in the KOP.

We keep telling people to look at the rules because people need to learn that looking at the rules answers 99.73% of all questions. Don't take it personally, just look at the rules.
