Not sure where best to post this, and it's of no real importance to me because I wasn't planning to enter a walker or anything, but I am a good Samaritan trying to right wrongs. Was just browsing through the rules, and I was just unable to find how many stat points a walker gets to use.

Quote:
 
C – Walking robots: This is any robot that moves by contact with the floor other than that outlined under section A. Also, no individual component of the walking system can rotate 360 degrees around an axle. The 360 degree motion of the ‘feet’ must come from the combined motions of other parts. Walking robots must have at a minimum 1 Speed, 1 Torque, 1 Traction and 1 Armor. The total speed for any walker cannot exceed 5. The total torque for any walker cannot exceed 2. All stats for a walker are assumed to mean the same thing they do for any other type of robot. Walking robots have also a maximum stat limit of 32. No single stat (weapon and armor) may exceed 32.


It says no SINGLE stat can exceed 32 points, but it says nothing of the total amount of stat points!

as I said on Skype! :P

[14:16:57] Martijn: yes, it then goes on to explain that that means no SINGLE stat can exceed 32
[14:17:19] Badnik96: yes, but the previous sentence still states the maximum points
[14:18:18] Martijn: however
[14:18:30] Martijn: and you may be right, but then that paragraph is full of needless shit
[14:18:31] Martijn: because
[14:18:37] Martijn: "Walking robots must have at a minimum 1 Speed, 1 Torque, 1 Traction and 1 Armor"
[14:18:47] Martijn: if the TOTAL stat limit is 32
[14:18:47] Martijn: AND
[14:18:48] Martijn: Walking robots must have at a minimum 1 Speed, 1 Torque, 1 Traction and 1 Armor
[14:18:56] Martijn: then no single stat can possible exceed 29
[14:18:58] Martijn: let alone 32

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

walkers have fail speed and torque anyway, and their grip as awful most of the time, so unless you take the spinner route, they should not be much of a threat

well you could make one with hilariously high armor and a turret lifter maybe, but then any fast brick will just toy around with it

I actually had an idea for an all-around lifter using one piston, but it'd be rather fragile.

Considering their drivetrain has been changed several times it's hard to consider them as solid examples. :P

Heck, I wouldn't mind coming up with a design since it's a rare type of bot.

I never mind entering something rare, but making a walker never appealed to me.

Was Manta really a walker? I thought it was more of a shuffler. Oh well.
