Black Knight - My first prototype looked like this. But I'm still worried about the rear part. If the target's placed there, even a light hammer can reach it.

Black Bull - All I know is that it packs quite a punch. Couldn't say much about it.

Bloodbird - Kinda slow, and too bad pointy tips have normals. A small amount of razors could've worked on this one.

Nerdicus, the Scholar - Another case of a nice idea that's executed poorly. It would perform much better if it had a longer arm.

Scott the Hard - Ummm... the target is facing to the left, you know? :P

Excessive - Freaky. O_O

Fred The Fast - I wonder where JB would put the target. XD

Raptor Knight - All-around protection. Kewl. :D

Sideshow Freak - This was a rush job. And that's more that half of the bot's weight on that single DDT, folks! Don't worry, if it performs poorly, it's expected. :P

Sir Fangsalot - Nice, but it could've used some more weapons at the back.

Sir Robin The Brave - It's gonna take some luck to hit this target, 'cause this bot's FAST.

The Knight Slayer - Though sledges suck, the target's still pretty weak, so it might get some wins.

Vicious Chicken of Bristol - YAY SAWZ! The reach could've been increased if a tribar's used, though.

Lava Monster - Heh. It's just like Sir Fangsalot's bigger brother! XD

Suicide - Cool concept, dunno how it fares. But what I do know is that the others are surely gonna have a hard time hitting the target. :P

Backwards Bob - I don't want to lose to that. :P

Can i send a slight modification of my bot with an actual skin? RK's (while definitely not the worst bot here) is a prototype and the skin's not hilarious enough.

Probably going to be sent tomorrow however because i have a pretty tight schedule today.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #3 on:** October 02, 2009, 04:49:25 AM »

that is no problem Naryar, you met the deadline, the only thing is it wont be changed on the splash (its really to involved with the background)

Believe it or not, my first build of black knight involved flails on the burst motors, as I was kinda hoping for a Ball on a chian effect.

didn't work, so on the previous deadline, i rushed and made that, thinking it would'nt be original, But with these bots, it kinda is

awesome, and how many funny bots !
great lead idea

JoeBlo · « **Reply #6 on:** October 02, 2009, 05:24:49 AM »

battle 1 is up

links will be listed in post 1 as well as off the bracket :-D

Is that SFTW tournament or what ? I see so much fail in that splash.

Anyways ... Predictions ...

Black Knight: This is actually one of the best bots here, it might even be better than mine. Might get a few WBP's because of high offense, and DK's one of the few builders to put a few armor on his bot.

Black Bull: It looks cool, and Trinity side hammer = win. Not sure about the armor's quality though. One of the best competitors right here still.

Blood Bird: Weak weapon, massive fail on drive train. SFTW.

Nerdicus the Scholar: Weapon is too short IMO, and slow thing. Is that even a HW ??

Scott the Hard: LOL WUT

Excessive: Indeed. 4WD RAD drive is fail as well, and the chassis is huge. Fearsome weapon array however... will this be that bot's greatest asset or unstability cause ? We'll see.

Fred the Fast: The weapon's kinda long and weak. That's very fast as well... While i don't have a lot of faith in that design, we'll see how it fares.

Raptor Knight: Heavy armor ftw. The weapon's not very effective - it needs a few more tweaks and a rebuild.

Sideshow Freak: It would be an impressive opponent if that extender was protected, but NO! It still can get a few wins if it touches the enemy first.

Sir Fangsalot: Bleh, that's not even average...

Sir Robin the Brave: It IS well built, but i doubt 8WD is really a good choice.

Knight Slayer: This is not DSL. An average opponent.

VCOB: I am guessing this is an intentional SFTW.

Lava Monster: Another guy that doesn't knows how to build correctly... There is worse though.

Suicide: Weird. I don't even get how it works... I'll see it soon.

Backwards Bob: Well it's a house bot so it's designed to fail... not the worst still.

___

EDIT: And battle 1... that tournament could be awesome but there's so much crap entered that you get lame fights like that.

few pics of it in my showcase

as for battle 1 , the first joust was pretty funny.. it looked like a chicken getting cleaned up by a truck.. the others were unfortunately low scoring

I'll enter season 2 now that I know how to enter a good bot. :P

Its not a full HW, only had time to skim the MW limit, if I had more time I would have added more weapons, and an actual skin...

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2009, 09:20:13 AM »

Naryar: ... errr....what?

in other news battle 3 is up (yes battle 2 was intentionally skipped as Naryar wants his bot to look prettier :P)

Random pic of what Raptor Knight would look like XD

I'll send it... maybe this evening, but more likely tomorrow.

Dear me, it looks like I'm up against one of the favorites...

EDIT: and should I miraculously win, it looks like the second round won't be any easier. Oh well.

Pwnator · « **Reply #15 on:** October 02, 2009, 09:34:20 AM »

OH! Battle 2 was so close!

easiest thing to do would be just zip the BMP skin as I have set the controls, smartzones, etc already for your bot

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** October 02, 2009, 09:55:18 AM »

I wanted to change the 2 T-connectors into 20cm round extenders and razors to irons as well...

...Will send you all the thing in say, 6 hours or so.

Condor33 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:18:55 AM »

I'm starting to wish I had eneterd this. However, it seems that what the bots actually do is pretty uncontrollable.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #19 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:24:06 AM »

they are basically AI'd to accelerate as soon as the match starts and not stop at any point...some use left right controls but most can just use weight distribution
