I think they're saying that in the picture, the flipper literally cuts into the chassis so that the chassis is interfering with its ability to flip. Personally, I think that's really pedantic and it's obviously just a rendering error. |

Some bots have had their weapons written as not working from time to time. Best way to guarantee it works is to draw a version of it that could work.

So, after seeing way too late, Spatula's roll call video, i'm just gonna add a precision to how Hell's Grasp weapon works to make sure there isn't any confusion, basically, the block thing with the spatula, is actually a lifter, this clamp has both parts mobile, the block lifts, and the claw thing comes down, just a little precision since we aren't too far in the tournament and i don't wanna have writers confused at how this works, hopefully Spatula is fine with that |

So, looks like I have all three robots fighting this week, up against Bunx, Outrage, and Methane (Poo Gas?). Let's hope it goes a bit better than my first week! |

See, for me, the crux of the issue is whether the robot doesn't work because it's poorly designed and just demonstrates a basic lack of understanding of how its vital systems work or whether someone just didn't quite know how to make a a component line up, scale, or differentiate from a neighbouring component 100% on their rendering app. Instances of the former should absolutely be punished and often have been. However, in my opinion, punishing people for the latter (as long as their design intent is reasonably clear) is kind of elitist and against the spirit of what we're trying to do here. It presents a barrier to entry for players who may not be as skilled at rendering or who may not have as much time to dedicate to it. Ultimately, that's just my opinion and only holds whatever weight you're willing to give it. It's your tournament. Do what you do. Thanks. |

If you give every unrealistic bot benefit of the doubt, you give them an unfair advantage. An uninvertible bot that's allowed to drive upside down gets an edge over a similar bot that sportingly spent a point on a srimech. A vertical spinner that goes through the floor would get under every wedge and win all the time if it's not written as 'not working'. |

I think there's a difference between an unrealistic concept and bad rendering. As long as it's clear what the bot should do and that's within the realm of possibility as allowed by physics and the rules, and people understand what the bot should actually do, it ought to be fine. I'm not sure that's clear here though. If a robot is actually designed in an unrealistic way it should be sent back for redesign before the tournament starts. |

Agreed. I think we can all agree what the basic concept of DUDE and what it's designed to do. Sorry that I'm not the greatest at designing stuff haha. Could be worse though, I could have just entered shitty 2d paint bots and leave it up to the imagination. =P |

I'm in total agreement with attackfrog on this one. There's a difference between being designed unrealistically and rendered erroneously. I think that as long as intent is reasonably clear, we shouldn't demand that people be CAD masters in order to participate. Doing so would be a swell way not to grow our playerbase but to shrink it. Glad to see that you're on board with that, Gabe. Also, if there's a painbot rumble, I'm entering Howler I.

And that's all three of mine up. Considering I'm far more used to writing long RPs, trying to keep within a small character limit's pretty difficult, but got there in the end. Not sure if it counts spaces as characters though, but I did that just to make sure it's OK. |

No problem! We all pretty much do as well on ARC, so taking that into regard, I made Trump ex Machina so that everyone could have fun annihilating it in as many ways as possible. Basically, being patriotic and doing my bit for both ARC and America, and it's great to see it happening.
