Can one person drive an entire multibot?

I was going through the rules to a robot fighting competition called the Critter Crunch, (the only robot fighting competition to refer to it's contestant as 'critters' rather than robots,) and I noticed it said that "Critters (including multipart critters) are allowed to have only one designated operator."

This confused me, how can one person drive two robots at once? I'm making this post to ask if anyone knows of any way that an entire multibot can be drive by one person?

Also, a multibot came third in the 2003 Critter Crunch, so clearly someone figured it out.

4th Wars

Currently watching the 4th Wars on Mech +. Didn’t realise Ric Flair entered a robot! Can anyone remember what he entered?

I’ve always had a soft spot for Major Tom. Love the robot’s Union Jack paintwork and Bumper Car-like body shape. Plus its features like the head, bowler hat, crown and flags.

I might not have been effective in its battles, but had one of the best designs.

We made a Robot Wars-inspired fantasy game for PC

Hey! I'm MaxCJ, a video game developer and a huge fan of the series - and found that the amount of games in the genre were sorely lacking something more light-hearted.

MechaCap Arena is my love letter to Robot Wars in a mushroom fantasy setting. You build and assemble robots and take them to the arena to dust it out in classic combat.

It's not as intricate as some of the other simulators out there, but focuses more on something that's a bit easier to pick up and enjoy! For example, to assemble a bot you pick a hull and which attachment to use - be it hammers, pistons or flippers.

It has about 2h story across multiple towns with a voiced cast (a made-up language for the commentators), and a 4 player combat mode (either locally with multiple gamepads/controllers or playable with friends on the Steam platform online, only one needs to own the game!)

We released about 3 months ago, but didn't really market it that heavily so thought I'd share it now that we put it on sale as maybe there are more fans of the genre in here!

Razer’s time on Series 2, 3 and 4 were unfortunate. They suffered various mechanical problems in the heats and were eliminated prematurely.

Need advice with emulating Arenas of Destruction and Extreme Destruction

I hope if it’s cool to ask this everyone but I’ve been hunting around to find ROMs and an Emulator to play Extreme Destruction and Arena of Destruction, I’ve managed to find a PS2 emulator to play Arenas of Destruction but I cannot find a Extreme Destruction one (for Xbox Emulator) does anyone recommend a Rom site I can find ROMs safely?.

I’ve got both games on PC Disc but I’ve now gotten a MacBook Pro; I was wondering if it’d be possible to get the game files from my discs and transfer them to the Whiskey App on MacOS that’ll let me play them by running Windows XP for me? I’ve seen videos of people doing something similar with DVDs so I was hoping if anyone had experience doing something similar?

Thanks everyone!
