Re: Define "ROBOT"

It's an awesome idea, and i love 1519 for doing it.


But a less risky approach would have been a common base;

The base would somehow switch between ackerman and tank drive with an arm.

That is more of a dual configuration that the intent of the rules seem to want. Rather than stretching the intent to two full robots.

Re: Define "ROBOT"

what 111 had in 2001 was something that would qualify here....these are two robots, pretty obvious to me: "I know it when I see it" -Associate Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart

Technically (if everyone wants to play that game) you could define it as one robot, and if I tried real hard there are a lot of things that I could define as a robot, but a lot of that wouldn't make it onto the field.

I give 1519 credit for trying (never know until you try) but this is not the first time someone has been burned after their robot is already built (Truck Town Thunder I'm looking your way) it is very disappointing for 1519 I'm sure.

Making new threads and going over it repeatedly isn't going to solve anything (look at some of the collaboration discussions for several years) just take the decision and move past. Remember that your time is a scarce resource.

good luck everyone
