 | | A question about BrikWars robots —Gino A. Melone
|
| | | 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)
