Chimera... I would have to see a render of it with its flipper out to its max extent. But right now, I don't think the leverage combined with the power could right it. I think it would just pop the bot into the air almost completely vertically.

I'll be the first to say that I wouldn't be surprised if I go 0-fer in the tourney. Hammerfall took all of my time and I wound up rushing my designs. I'll be the first to say my bots suck, and to see them win would be a miracle. After my humiliating defeat Vs. Meta Ridley in Hammerfall, I'm pretty well saying that my old school designs won't work anymore. I'm still in 2004/2005 when everybody else has moved on.
Next tournament though...I have some ideas that might actually be good.

You have some great ideas. :)

Hey KodeBreaker, I asked earlier but I guess you didn't see it. But can you tell me exactly why Rampage having a higher torque than its speed is a bad thing? I don't know how the stat system works, but I can't imagine it would actually hinder my robot in any way.

Not really hinder you so much as not really giving you much extra benefit.

Yeah it's just having too much torque can be a bad thing because after you hit like 4 torque points there's little point in investing any more.

Just RP your pants off and hope for the best really.
