I could have entered a full-body spinner with manta's walking system and collected that weight advantage, but I didn't. You know why? Because I'm not an asshole. ARC stands for Asshole Robot Combat

	There are few crimes in our modern society that merit public beating. Interrupting someone's enjoyment of Messiah to request "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs is irrefutably one such offense.

	Area51Escapee,Jan 30 2011 01:27 AM Spatula,Jan 29 2011 11:32 PM 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.

There's a room where the light won't find you... Posts: 490 Group: Members Member #58 Joined: December 6, 2008	There is snow in Pontefract this morning, completely unannounced. I think I may have to write a letter of complaint to the BBC and ask that something be done about it.

The Guy Posts: 4,069 Group: Members Member #12 Joined: September 13, 2006	Wedge Effectiveness: This stat governs how low wedging is on an individual bot. Static wedge bots with 4 or more wheels are limited to a maximum of 5 stat points and 2-wheeled static wedge bots are limited to a maximum of 7 stat points. Shufflers, walkers, treaded/tracked robots and any other form of drive system is on a case-by-case situation. hows this rule working out so far. wedge effectiveness was in the last tournament i was in before i forfeited all my matches so i never really got to see how useful it was. thats the word.

You're just a voice pal, you don't know a damn thing about racing! Posts: 3,844 Group: Admin Member #77 Joined: May 2, 2010	It's basically 7 or nothing. Some people go over the top and use 8, and some spinners use 2 or 3 to gain a slight advantage if their weapon breaks. Not a lot of middle ground.

The Guy Posts: 4,069 Group: Members Member #12 Joined: September 13, 2006	so is it legit like, if you have a higher wedge point than the other dude, you get under him, even if you're F-Bomb and the other dude is Underall.

Ruiner of All Posts: 9,053 Group: Admin Member #33 Joined: December 1, 2006	Well of course it'll also kinda depend on slope, more weight at the front, etc. But if two Underalls were fighting, one had 7 wedge and the other had 6 wedge, the Underall with 7 wedge would get under the Underall with 6 wedge.

Strictly speaking, yes this would happen if they went wedge to wedge. Pay no mind to Kody, he seems to be waffeling for some reason.

Cutie Honey is like the Liberal Democrat of ARC, in that sense.
