Speaking of treads, does anybody know any good resources for building and/or buying treads?

You can have a human player direct you, since it's hard to see what your doing on the opponents side from your driver station

This question is interesting.. I think you can weaken/damage your own defenses. Correct me if I am wrong, but that's my interpretation of the rules so far

[JoshWilson]

Btw, doesn anyone know if flying is illegal?

[Briansmithtown]

Can you go from the courtyard to the defense? Or do you have to use the secret passage?

From YOUR side, you can use the secret passage. If you're on THEIR side (where you're trying to score), you can't.

Ok... how do you get back from their side you're scoring on to the neutral zone?

Personally, I'd take a Sally Port or a Drawbridge.

ok thanks... the sally port would be a win win because you can get another robot over there and break their defenses.

so is there anything stopping us from going back and forth on an defense to get points? and would our defenses be weakened if we pass through it? and does it count as weakening defense if we cross one from the enemy side to the neutral zone?

Is there a maximum height from the ground to the bottom of the chassis?

You only get points for crossing a particular defense once, after that no points are awarded. Also it seems as if passing through your own defense does weaken it, so take the secret passage. And a crossing is defined as going from neutral over the defense and onto the enemy courtyard.

Realized i wrote the wrong thing, to Damage the defenses, could you just go back and forth?

Glanced over that, thank you.

Some people on my team think you can do it twice before no points will be awarded (logic is its undamaged, then weakened, then damaged, and since it is not damaged till crossed twice you would get points) do you have a rule to back up what you have said?

You can get points for crossing each defense twice because the defense is not damaged until the defense's strength is zero. You can only get points for crossing or weaken a defense once in auto.
