My Animation Era - Chapter 765
Chapter 765 Wanbao Case (for subscription)
“Four Drivers Brothers” has never been in favor of going beyond the modification of the car itself.
Or…
Wanbao Animation and Wanbao Toys also disapprove. In order to pursue the limit, players carry out various “unlimited” modifications and upgrades to the four-wheel drive vehicle.
In the details of the rules of the first four-wheel drive competition, there are restrictions and restrictions on modification, so as to prevent everyone from falling into the vicious circle of “modification competition”.
But unfortunately…
With the popularity of the animation “Four Wheel Drive Brothers”, audiences and players have further increased their enthusiasm for modifying four-wheel drive vehicles, which has reached a level of obsession.
The game has gone sour.
In order to pursue faster speed and stronger performance, the children made magical changes to their four-wheel drive vehicles. In the end, they became closer and closer to unlimited track cars.
“This chaos should end!”
Gu Miao said that four-wheel drive vehicles can no longer continue to develop in such a barbaric way. Wanbao officials must establish a correct concept of modification for children and formulate relevant rules for four-wheel drive racing cars.
As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules!
There is no rule system, and players are allowed to play freely. It seems very creative and active, but this will also seriously damage the bottom line of “fair competition”.
Because you can’t expect every four-wheel drive player to be honest, and you can’t guarantee that he will do whatever it takes to win?
That is under this premise.
As a four-wheel drive product developer, Wanbao Company needs to take the initiative to stand up and act as a “referee” or “notary”.
Children urgently need a set of “four-wheel drive rules” that are practical, follow the principles of fairness and justice, and can be used in a large number of official and private events!
So, when the first Wanbao 4WD competition was approaching, the “Wanbao 4WD Rules 1.0”, drafted by Gu Miao, reviewed by Lao He and Lightning Studio, and revised with the participation of several mini 4WD experts, was officially released.
This set of rules, because Wanbao was the first to launch it, is also called “Wanbao Rules” by the majority of mini 4WD players, or “Wanbao Rules” for short.
The rules are not complicated.
First, all small events, club events, large-scale events, and international events hosted by Wanbao or held with Wanbao 4WD vehicles must abide by this rule, otherwise the event will not be recognized.
Second, all the vehicles and parts used in the event must be products produced and manufactured by Wanbao Company, and the use of non-Wanbao parts is prohibited.
There is nothing wrong with this.
It is only natural to use the products of your own company in your own company’s competition. Unless you don’t participate in the four-wheel drive competition organized by Wanbao, you must abide by this rule.
Third, even the spare parts and racing cars launched by Wanbao’s own company have restrictions in different competitions.
This is mainly for the “chassis”.
For example, if the Standard-A of Wanbao 4WD is referred to as SA chassis, only parts with the prefix “SA” can be used. Parts with other prefixes will be regarded as “violative modification”, and the results will be cancelled, and penalties such as suspension will be imposed.
Fourth, the motor and battery must be manufactured by Wanbao, and in terms of battery selection, regular games must be disposable lithium-ion-free batteries.
Privately use rechargeable batteries, or simply use lithium batteries, or even use nuclear batteries, no one cares about you, but in regular official competitions, you can only use disposable batteries that do not contain lithium-ion.
This is also for fairness.
Different batteries mean that the car can perform differently, which is completely unfair to other players.
Fifth, any Wanbao four-wheel drive vehicle participating in the official competition must meet the size requirements. Different competitions have different standards, but in regular competitions, the overall width of the vehicle body must be ≤105mm, the overall length ≤165mm, the overall height ≤70mm, and the minimum ground clearance of the chassis must be ≥1mm.
This is to limit the modification range.
Some players, in order to make the car more powerful, modify the car to a degree that can be called magical.
In addition to the corresponding size of the car, Article 5 of this set of rules also sets certain restrictions on the tire size of the car.
Someone might ask…
It is difficult for players to accurately control the millimeter-level size. If there is an error during the race inspection, what should we do?
Don’t worry too much about this!
Wanbao also considers that the size limit at the millimeter level may cause some troubles to children, so it also added in the rules that a certain range of error values is allowed during car inspection.
simply put.
If the error is less than one millimeter, you can still open one eye and close the other eye, but if the error is several millimeters, or even more than ten millimeters, then don’t think everyone is blind…
Sixth, the weight of the body in regular competitions cannot be less than 90 grams, and there is no upper limit.
The minimum body weight is limited, which is to combat those “stealing light crazy people”, who are crazy about speed and reduce the weight of four-wheel drive vehicles.
Why no upper limit?
Because it is not necessary at all. Anyway, the motor and battery are stipulated for you. If you think that with the same power output, a 200-gram car can run faster than a 100-gram car, then you can try it!
Seventh, there are corresponding restrictions and regulations on the transmission system, gears and guide wheels.
In general, several accessories that affect the performance of four-wheel drive racing cars are basically covered and restricted in the rules, which guarantees the fairness and justice of the competition to the greatest extent.
But other than that.
Wanbao maintains a relatively supportive attitude towards those partial modifications that do not affect the fairness of the competition.
Such as the shell of a racing car!
You can make it whatever you want. If you don’t mind the society, you can even change the car body into a beautiful girl, and the official will not care about it anyway.
The release of this set of Wanbao rules can be regarded as stopping the current chaos of mini four-wheel drive modification, and making everyone start to face up to the importance and necessity of rules.
Most players support it.
Because of unlimited modifications, it is indeed easy to cause unnecessary burdens on everyone, and fall into the vicious circle of “arms race”.
Now that there are clear game modification rules, the burden on everyone is not so heavy. After all, under the rules, there are only so many parts that can be modified by everyone.
The game has become more fair!
This is definitely a good thing for all players who love mini four-wheel drive vehicles. The only person who is not happy is probably Mr. Bear who signed up for the competition enthusiastically.
“Not fair! Not fair!”
Bear is always yelling wildly, he is ready to use unlimited modifications to participate in the competition and torment children.
In the end, Gu Miao came up with a set of Wanbao rules, which completely cut off his thoughts.
Without the blessing of unlimited modifications, he will not be able to abuse the children, even if other people let him go, he will not dare to say that he is sure to win, and he may have to be abused by the children.
One million registration fee!
He spent one million to sign up for the competition, is that for abuse? It’s not fair! Money back in Geneva!
