Ah, good ole carpet snake. Haven't seen one of in years. Harmless, but you do get bitten, go to your doctorate and get some shots just in case of infection.

Bring it to Robowars! Cool

Actually it can still be a walker if it has no legs.
Setrakians snake is a good example.
Walkers are ultimately doomed in this country unfotunately because some people just dont get it Sad

Snake rolled... litterally Smile
Son of Whyachi was also classed as a walker at battlebots, so that's much to go by Laughing

Walker = Mechadon!

THats true but its mechanics fell under the rules of a walker.
It doent matter what it does, it matters how it moves internally.
Snake is in another way just a single leg, thats why its confusing.
Pleas dont mention Son of Wyachi - that things effed it up for everyone

Walkers are welcome in the lightweight class Smile

No Nasty spinners to bash them up, although a good rammer would probably do as much damage to legs as a spinner would.

What do you mean by "Dont get it" ?

We discussed this in great lengths of detail in the walker thread, but did we decide that a rotational means (eg motor) translated into the foward and back movement of legs was allowed? That could put a whole new spin on the lightweight class.... Cool

Was just meaning theres always a bit of confusion with interpreting the rules.
Son of Wyachi was classd as a walker but then it was realised it wasnt and was banned the next year.
I am just frustrated a bit, not that I really care about it but still, until we agree on a few fundamental things it makes it hard for anyone to even consider.
