If we decided to make a 120/220 pound version of ROFL, do you think the arms on the side could qualify as active weapons? not sure.. any way to MAKE it qualify? it's an interesting Idea..

Do you have links to any video of rofl?

From what I saw last event, which wasn't much, mind you...rofl didn't look all that happy. Did it have some bright moments that I missed?

Maybe some hammers or spikes on the arms??

I went thru the 120 bb rules recently, and I believe that their definition of active weapon = needs its own joystick, so to speak, so I don't know

Maybe email them with pics and a link to it fighting???

Actually, both the arms and the body (call it a drum) could be considered weapons????

If you cold get it to roll over another bot and do damage?? I'd inquire if it was mine. then again, if it was mine, I'd do the thing that we spoke about a while back... affraid

Nah..you weren't paying attention...lol

The tail wagging the dog thing with clutches??

You sit there and spin the drum to the moon, hit the switch and send 15 or 220 pounds rolling forward at the speed of light...Kind of like a bowling ball effect?

need details?? I told you that I had an idea similar to rofl, except using clutches to engage/dis-engage the wheels.

Throttle or rudder alone = drum spins...forward = both clutches engage and bot moves forward

turning = engage 1 clutch and disengage the other

got the idea?? I have drawings somewhere

it was an idea i thought of when i saw it before
what if you had each arm come across the front like a wedge shape, on each side, i would consider it a lifter
