Net
___
The scorpions can extend the power net with the relays they carry. In
order for a relay to successfully extend the net, it has to be in range of
the net (when the net power of your bot starts running low, stop, go back
a bit so that the net power is up to full, and unload a relay. Each relay
has a radius of supplying power, therefore it supplies power to all bots
around it, as long as they are in this radius. Also, in order for a relay
to become active, the scorpion which deployed it must move off of it, and
then it will only take a while for it to start transferring power. Another
problem with the net is that if there are ANY enemy relays in one of your
relays' power supplying range, it will become an enemy relay. To prevent
or fix this, you will have to destroy ALL enemy relays within that
particular relay's field of power.
12 relays should be enough to extend your net right up to the enemy's base
so that you can pound on it until it is destroyed.
You cannot make use of the enemy's net.
Objective
_________
