Subject: [alt-beam] Re: My thoughts (Arena-bots)
Hey! What a cool idea! Would the bot have to be a walker and does it have to be BEAM? I already have an idea for it. Walkers would be able to wade through the water though, unless it was really deep. I suppose this is almost a mixture between the "B" type SE races, and the photovore competition.
