Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
Also say goodbye to any kind of defense against outerworks shooters.

It has always been there, people just haven't been playing it.

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
Just cheesehole them enough for cameras to be able to see through them.
The solution to a cheese problem is always more cheese. |

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
well thats just dumb why even have a defense element to the game if you might not even be able to use it. Just cross your fingers that all the good shooters switch to photon cannons

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
The problem with the question is that the GDC is trying to be sensitive to R9, blue box A and C
Quote:
If the purpose is to block shots, then that is ok, as it is an obstacle that robot designers are supposed to take into account. So, put up an opaque piece of fabric that is supposed to interfere with boulder shooting, and you are fine. If it happens to block vision, so be it. The rule is intended to prevent a defending robot from intentionally shining a flashlight directly into the camera of the other robot. As they say: Bad cases make bad law. Just make sure the robot piece has a purpose other than to interfere with sensing capabilities of the robot. Quote:

However, the Head Ref at CVR ruled that all 4'6" blockers violated R9, Blue Box A. We had to cut large holes in our blockers to make them legal. I believe this was a misinterpretation, but the rules and especially the Blue Box is not clear. -Mike |
