Clusterbot rules

[BeligerAnt]

I think the reason the "interesting" part has not been discussed is simply that it has not arisen!

I suggest the straightforward solution (should we wish to consider it) would be that if a cluster consists of a mixture of walkers and rollers, the total weight limit is increased in proportion to the number of walkers. Individual botlets may be any weight.

So, some examples to try to simplify things:
All botlets are rollers: total weight = 150g
All botlets are walkers: total weight = 225g i.e. the walker allowance is 75g

If 50% of the botlets are walkers, the allowance is 50% * 75g = 37.5g so total weight = 187.5g
If 33% of the botlets are walkers, the allowance is 33% * 75g = 25g so total weight = 175g

The total weight may be split any way, so a cluster of a 100g walker, 50g roller and 25g roller would be possible.

Just a suggestion...

What about if your walker is, say, 50g? Are you then allowed to add the extra weight tolerance to the roller? Cos then you could have a 175g roller...

It would be a 137.5g roller and a 50g walker. It pushing the rules, but you could have one of those little wind up walkers that weighed 5g and have a 182.5g roller... which is kwijebo on wheels.. It should be a % thing rather than a % of the total botlets.

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Yeah. You should be allowed to have the weight advantage, but only on the walker part...but then, that gets complicated too doesn't it?
