im unsure but i this post is from when i started building, and wasnt sure what the current situation is.

Adrian,

We use a 50% rule... ·

Cluster bots, if 50% or more of the clusters becomes immobile or knocked out, all of the clusters are deemed to be knocked out.

If one weighs 5.5kg and the other 6.5kg, and the 5.5kg one gets knocked out, then you will still be classed as mobile.

if they both weigh the same and one gets knocked out, then they are both knocked out.

I dont believe there is an actual rule on the linking mech, however i would like to think an effort would be made to physically link them together. Maybe something better than Gaffer tape.
