I know that you can’t control the mini bot in any way, but I was wondering in the interest weight reduction if you could power the mini bot from the host bot.
thoughts on legality?
It’s not allowed. Not only can your mini bot not extend outside 12" by 12" by 12", but your big robot now cannot assist the mini-bot up the pole in any way. It must go up by its own power. Furthermore, a mini-bot now can’t store energy in flywheels, surgical tubing, etc. All of this based on the week 1 update found here.
ah I did not see the second page of the update, thanks
also wouldn’t the wheel act as a fly wheel?
Sure, but if you look at those handy blue boxes, that would count as incidental kinetic energy.
