The lightweight class might be a good place for anything like walkers or shufflers.
Just my opinion but I personally wouldnt mind even giving shufflers a weight bonus in that class as they cant turn it into a spinner.
It seems people want to build shufflers anyway.

Shufflers can gain large amounts of tractions like tracked bots, I always thought one would be good for a rambot. But that wasn't looking for a weight bonus.
George isn’t happy unless the walking action is 3 dimensional + time. What’s with all the Grenades your tossing around Brett?

Whoa! What are the odds of finding a fully-grown carpet python which appears to have found a neighbour's cat and decided to have a treat in your backyard? The biggest thing I've found in my backyard was a spider about as big as my palm which comes out at sunset/night to make a web, then back in the morning to eat the web. By the way, my plam is about 13cm in length and 10cm in width. The only reptile I've seen in my house is a 10cm long, 1.5cm wide gecko. _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

Oops, sorry, I hadnt realised I was doing that.. It was just an off-the-cuff comment, should have known better than to mention walkers, but like George said, it did remind me of Snake.. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

I would guess the snake has just eaten a possum. I have a carpet snake in my shed. but your snake is bigger than my snake. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

Gosh that sounds so damn wrong
Its not the size of the snake that matters, its what it can do (giggles) _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Many years ago I had a pet Diamond Python (also an aussie snake). That was also no where near as larg as that carpet snake.
If you dont have small pets, I'd leave it there, very good against mice and rats.

I wouldn't like it in our (very small) garden, as we have cats as mousers.
But if not as Leo say, you don't have any of those- nor complaining neighbors about lost yorkshire terriers- just leave it be.
Unless it grows big enough to see you as a snack.

It should move on tonight. I have three cats, and they have been locked inside all day. It may hang around until it has digested its possum or bandicoot whatever it ate.
Another bonus moving to Queensland, the interesting wildlife. While I'm thinking of Victoria, I'm going to have to find some Victorian clothes for this weekend. I just don't use jumpers and long pants anymore _________________ Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
