Re: Artifact scan....

The real answer is that artifacts don't take into account your Bot size.  That specific area is accessable by a light Bot or a sequer.  Robots have slope capacity.  So a heavy combat has the worst while light bots have the best.

dear player ville,
please consider to check the screenshot a bit closer next time, or opening up your map ingame before acusing a player not to know about slope limits.
The Screenshot he linke had the multi-layer slope display active, showing the cliff impassable for any robot.
due to the unfortunate camera angle, i went to the location to make a better screenshot:

Re: Artifact scan....

yea that or they need to make that whole area like white, so the artifacts don't "spawn" there.
