Ruiner of All Posts: 9,053 Group: Admin Member #33 Joined: December 1, 2006	!!!IMPORTANT!!! Regarding the stat Speed, there will be some changes to it for this tournament that differ from the main rules. If successful, they will be added to said main rules. Previously, Speed was based on a linear scale, where 8 is twice as fast as 4. No longer. Speed now has a constant of 1 metre/second, with 0.5 m/s for every point added in Speed. No robot can have a Speed less than 1.5 m/s. For example, a 4 speed robot (3 m/s) would be twice as fast as a robot with 1 speed (1.5 m/s), and a robot with 10 speed (6 m/s) would be twice as fast as a robot with 4 speed. The difference between speed and traction still affects your bot when turning. 0 difference, you're fine. 1 point difference, you'll overturn or overcompensate by 10-15 degrees. 2 point difference, 20-30 degrees, and so on and so forth. Torque works with speed as it usually does, so no changes there. Have fun.

Heavyweight Posts: 558 Group: Global Moderator Member #186 Joined: November 2, 2015	I'd like to note, as I said in the Discord, that this speed scale is VERY slow. Even a robot with 10 speed would only go 13.5 MPH, and 6 speed is equivalent to 9 MPH. This is unrealistically slow for any weight class. Also, does anybody actually measure their robots' speeds in m/s? I was under the impression that in non-American events people still usually used MPH for speed. Also, I'm not sure about using absolute degree precision for over/understeer. 10-15 degrees would make aiming hammers, saws, and even clamps extremely difficult even with a 1-point control ratio. I'd like to suggest using 4 MPH as the speed constant, with an extra 2 MPH per point of speed. This would give speeds of 6-20 MPH for speeds of 1-8, which roughly covers the speed range found in non-insect-weight classes IRL. For traction, I would stick with the "0 is perfect, 1 can mostly do fairly precise maneuvers, 2 will risk over/understeer on precise maneuvers, 3 is poor control, and 4 is basically undrivable."
	"you can give a fuck, just don't give too much of a fuck. there's an optimal level of fuckiness, and if you exceed your fuck quota you'll burn out." - BEES Trihunter on V900's New Undercutter: Spoiler: click to toggle Number 15: Burger King Foot Princess. The last thing you want in your Burger King burger is a 15 weapon undercutter, but that might just be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his undercutter wedged in Hellhound�s plow. With the statement: "This is the spinners you get on ARC." Admittedly, he had wedgelets on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 6:24 AM on July 6, and a mere 3 minutes later, the tournament organiser in question was alerted to the rogue roboteer. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the ARC user hadn't removed the weird-ass wheels from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit ate plenty of dicks. This was at 6:27. Three hours later at 9:27, the TO posted with wishes for more writing staff. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 9:30, a link was posted: ARC�s online forum. The undercutter photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. The police contacted the forum in question the next day. When questioned, the admin said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting kicked out of the tournament." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to making speed wedges in peace.
