Re: Ground rules
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.

Re: Ground rules
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

Re: Ground rules
Oh, and maybe, no more than X number of pieces.
What is a reasonable number for X?
