Project Falafel Game: Heavy Lifting

Project Falafel, announced here about a month ago is finally starting!
After some delays, we finally released the game to the general public. I translated the basics of the game into English so that teams could take a look.

Enjoy, comment!
Also, if any teams from Israel want to join, registration is still open. Contact me at 052-6182742 or by email niv.kaha@flfl.co.cc
Our website has the full rulebook in Hebrew: flfl.co.cc!

Re: Project Falafel Game: Heavy Lifting

We didn't weigh them, but they aren't heavy. They are the weight of two lunacy wheels including their bearings, plus a little more (axil and four nuts). They just look like weights, which is where the name comes from...

Re: Project Falafel Game: Heavy Lifting

Just thinking of what happens when a 'bot dumps three sets on another bot....or throws them......I guess it'll be an exciting game!

Re: Project Falafel Game: Heavy Lifting

Ah yes, that's an imporant rule I forgot to translate: gamepieces may not be thrown.
Being the plastic lunacy wheels and a threaded axil we just think that them being thrown will cause them to break...
About dumping, that might be interesting to see...
I do hope it will be exciting...
