suppose two dots have the same height and jumping skill and other attributes, but one is 250 lbs and one is 280 lbs. can they jump the same (to swat a pass) or does the heavier dot need more jumping skill to move his heftier bulk up in the air?

its logical that a taller dot (all other things being equal) could jump a bit higher to swat the pass. But would a shorter, lighter dot with 70 jumping jump higher than a taller, heavier dot with 70 jumping?

No mention of weight having an impact.

It's kind of like height having no role with velocity. "Logically" you could say a guy with longer legs could run faster than a 5'6" guy, despite equivalent speed, but that's not how the code works.

In simple terms...
Weight = Velocity/Acceleration
Height = Jumping/Balance

so in terms of DL trying to swat balls, the taller the better then, regardless of weight. thanks!
