I always though 0 meant nothing. |

that doesnt answer my question ![]() If we get into significant figures 0 means all numbers between -0.5 and 0.5. ARC statistics use a discrete distribution and hence has 0 as the lowest possible value. Assuming for a second no ARC statistic is expected to go below 0, in this case 0 might well mean "very very little". Furthermore... there have been 0 traction bots for yeaaaaaaaaaars, and they have always been able to accelerate, do you really wanna discuss the rule (fine by me) or did you just feel like getting technical?:P |

If 0 did mean "very very little" then Dr. Pepperdine would be able to get under the sides of his opponents where they had 0 wedge and high ground clearance. Instead I was informed that 0 wedge means nothing; no wedge. "You cant do anything with nothing". Traction should work the same way. |

I hate you. ![]() The zero traction rule was set up years ago and was generally agreed to by the forum at large, including people that actually understood exactly how omni-drive works. There's absolutely no need to change it when it has worked perfectly fine. Omni-drive bots get no traction unless they also feature regular drive wheels (Like Sidewinder did for example). It's a fair trade-off for the fact they can maneuver around pretty much however they want. Things don't have to be 100% accurate to real life after all. |

lol I'm sorry for being a dick about this. Its been years since I've been in the game so I'm still trying to get my head around the rules again. I will say at least the old 4 stat system was simple. |

Rrrgh... I am now thinking of replacing Cutie Honey II with a bar spinner. One, because Honey was both an experiment, and a result of me being fed up with the 7 wedge bots that were going around (hypocrite, you cry) at the time, and somehow she succeeded in ways I never thought possible. Let's face it; entering her again is just begging to have the writers get her ass kicked. Two: because I have too many damn flippers on the team already. Third: I've had a bar spinner on my mind for a little while now. I just wasn't sure what class to put it in. Of course, this deprives Josh and Lian of the chances to taunt me about that "tape" that never happened... ![]() Pending name for the new HW: Murder Bar. EDIT: Well, by the sound of it, Spatch wants me to keep Cutie Honey in.

Reaver has been added, and my team is now complete. It was between that and the scorpion thing, but I think that's more House Robot material, should it come to that. But hopefully Reaver should hold up pretty well, maybe this time I'll actually do well in all four categories, instead of having one total sandbag. |
