As you know there has been some effort to update the official rules behind our AWS's in varying forms. However it has become somewhat of a slog and weighed down by various things, legacy and semantics.
What I have done is taken a run at a more complete rewrite on the ruleset. The aims of this are to clarify and simplify producing an overall easier to follow ruleset. By rewriting this way rather than one at a time it helps the rules be written more cohesively and work together better.
This has been seen by the same group that was working through one at a time and carries tweaks from them and now feels mature enough for the general forum. It is not a simple rewrite for the same purpose but actually carries functional changes that were intended (Or at least strong suggestions) for the main ruleset the most significant of which are:
- The walker weight bonus is now opened to all non rollers. This means stuff like hovercrafts would be allowed extra weight.
- Following from above the fourth team slot is now inclusive of any non-roller.
- A robot is considered to have lost AT THE START OF an immobile count if the count successfully finishes.
- An addition reflecting the recent debate (see Combatant vs Cosmic) regarding completely destroyed robots taking a win. (See rule 4k). Note it is not even asking for controlled motion from the destroyed bot just wanting 'any' motion.
