Rule problems

Some problems I can forsee here:

• Overly fast motors
• Overly large, hollow robots

You might want to impose a size limit, and some maximum motor/VehicleSeat speeds.

MaxSpeed of VehicleSeats is effected by how much torque the vehicle has. The amount of Torque a VehicleSeat can have before flipping itself is determined by the weight. So the weight classes set limits on the speeds. Also if someone makes a large, hollow bot, they still will only have as much push as their weight will allow.--~SDuke524~ 17:53, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

Regulation of RayCasting

Can I suggest adding something along the lines of http://www.roblox.com/Range-Finder-item?id=75268662, a standardized "sensor" that limits the raycasting functionality to an interesting level? That one would be used like:

local robot = script.Parent
local sensor = robot.RangeFinder

local range = sensor.GetRange:Invoke()

if range ~= math.huge then
    --We can see something `range` distance away!
end

Fighting

Exactly how do these robots "fight"? I think you should clarify that... Legend26 (talk | contribs) 17:42, 22 March 2012 (EDT)

It's shown at the place. Basically they're put in a big ring with a white rim and try to push each other out. I didn't think it was too challenging of a task to make however, many people were confused on how they could use raycasting to do this and then blamed it on the wiki not explaining it well enough.--~SDuke524~ 20:16, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Subpage Rules

This is not your personal assemble-and-compete forum...from the 'pedia rules:

talk pages are not places to talk with other people about unimportant things. They are for talking with other people about how to make articles better

†MrNicNac - Wiki Editor †

I suggested it to him. Sorry. Is it the page itself you are against, or the talk page?

It's not me against anything, but rather the rules which are supposed to be known and enforced by every user encompassed on the Wiki. I copied a more irrelevant rule, but I can go back and get the one about articles which are not informative to the actual Wiki purpose. †MrNicNac - Wiki Editor †

If it makes you happy, I could always delete it.--~SDuke524~ 20:14, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

I'm not trying to tell/imply anything. I just handed you a rule. Do with it whatever. †MrNicNac - Wiki Editor †
