lets make some grounds for this game:

1: no more then 4 wheels on the ground at any given time
2: the other bot must fall off first
3: all bots must be moving (cant just make a wall or ramp)

if any one else have any other rules they want add them now.

change the rule about which falls first, make it; "if the bot falls off its own side, it looses"

also, only challenge the last bot posted. dont return to past bots.

Wow, you guys got busy quick!

Goal:
To win by sending the opponets bot off the opponets side of the board.

Bot Design:
Bots must be powered and mobile, and may not remain stationary.
No more than 4 powered wheels on the ground at any given time.
No more than 8 powered wheels total.
Unpowered wheels do not count towards design total.
Pink Ball does not count toward design total.
All pieces must be connected to the bot.

Select an option. Options superceed any of the above rules. (we don't have to use any options, but thought I'd throw them in for discussion.)

Option 1. Your bot can fall of as well, but the pink ball must remain on the board to win. The pink ball does not need to be a part of the design. If both balls fall, then both players lose.

Option 2. Your bot can fall of as well and you still win. The pink ball must be a funtional part of your design.

Option 3. Buy your bot
100 points total

2 points
Unpowered wheel
Short Water rod (less than half the distance of the build area)

3 points
Short wood rod (less than half the distance of the build area)

4 points
Long water rod (more than half the distance of the build area)

5 points
Powered wheel (more than half the distance of the build area)

6 points
Long Wood rod

10 points
Rope

i only like option 1, this option gives more of an objective to the battle.

the other options... TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT :P

Oh, and maybe, no more than X number of pieces.

What is a reasonable number for X?
