Cluster Robots
Moderators: BeligerAnt, petec, administrator
I had a mad idea a while ago about a 3-way cluster bot being entered into 3 competitions:
Each section weighs 75g, so 1 section can enter fleaweights, 2 sections make a AW cluster, and all 3 make a super-ant cluster, however, this would mean I need a pair of extra drivers, is this permissive or not ?

You are allowed yes, although it gets a little complicated!
The fleaweights would obviously just be individual in the fleaweight catagory. When it came to 2 teaming up for the antweights, it would count as an entry for each driver, but not the third (as they wouldn't be driving theirs), who would still be allowed another four ants. The 2 driving the cluster would be allowed another three. When you fought in the superants, each member would have one 'slot' of their team taken, and so would be able to enter a further 3 supers each (though no one ever really enters a full team of supers).
Hope that clears it up!

I would but couldn't as an antweight cluster, as I've got them coming out of my ears. lol. In superants I could though.
By the way, as all three sections would fight seperate in the fleaweight section, there's nothing to stop you driving all of them (except maybe a lack of opponents ). It's only when they team up you'd need extra drivers
