Re: Rules Questions
I could not find any mention of a specific starting location for each robot... do they just have to be in the home zone?

Re: Rules Questions
Agreed, Q&A answer needed before we can be sure.
If you look at <G29> of last year's manual, however, it uses the same wording: Quote:
For your starting position, the extending items can be in any position you want, extended or unextended, as long as the starting position of the entire robot fits within the starting size limits. |

Re: Rules Questions
Anybody see anything yet about driving on to one of the tubes to get 4" up? Can't intentionally damage the playing piece, but obviously you don't want to damge it because you need it to be functional. Thought in the demo video that in the corner of the screen it had a robot on top of a tube.

Re: Rules Questions
For all the people speculatin on the multiple item on the floor, consider your robot as a seperate part. So having a ramp detached and your robot on the field would count as multiple parts deployed and in violation of that rule.

Re: Rules Questions
multiple parts. But whatever, I can't really see much of a use for being able to do that anyhow. |

Re: Rules Questions
I do agree with many on this, By detaching a ramp from your robot it is considered to be a part of your robot, because if it isn't then it is a violation of the rules, but there are many other ways to get a robot off the ground
.Also, it is impossible for all three robots to be off the field at the end of the game as at least one must lift ( and/or support) the other robots. I do have a question though. Are we allowed to carry more than one of our own game pieces?? It may of been mentioned in the brodcast, but I was busy writing things down and may of missed it. Someone on my team told me that you couldn't and someone else told me there wasnt anything against it. Just need to clarify. |

Re: Rules Questions
deployed stuffs desigend to lift robots...
I dont know about you all, but depoyed sure sounds like... umm.... let me google it. de·ploy (dĭ-ploi') v., -ployed, -ploy·ing, -ploys. 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 verb To put into a deliberate order: arrange, array, dispose, marshal, order, organize, range, sort, systematize. See order/disorder. deploy v Definition: redistribute, station troops or weapons The verb deploy has 2 meanings: Meaning #1: place troops or weapons in battle formation Meaning #2: to distribute systematically or strategically -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. |
