(...) The mech I'm fielding tonight has a 32" movement (using torso power) and a 20" jump (using combined legs). The jump seems high, but 5" (using torso power), seems way too low. Using leg power for movement would be ridiculous. Would be 128". The (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Whenever I use the RV supp to make a robot, it seems to go about 30+" / turn. I have to tone this down by about 1/2 to make it reasonable (ground stuff should not go as fast as flyers). For jumping, your idea seems reasonable. Jason (...) jumping (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)

| | A question about BrikWars robots
|
|
I've got a question about walking robots. When calculating speed and jumping power, do you use the power rating of the robot (torso) or the combined rating of the legs. Thus far, I've been using the torso rating for normal movement and the combined (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Hello, I put up two pics of my interpretation of a GEV from the Steve Jackson games Ogre/GEV, at (URL) . I'm working on my troopship GEV, getting the doors/hatchways right for the troops is a little tricky. Thanks, George (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.gaming)
