Wow. I think I've found a new Paladin (which is the new term for a unfair to fight robot that is a PITA): AS's pinner. That's just incredibly cheap to just sit under the opponent and leave them limping, and those spike strips feel dangerously close to DSL-S. Then again, Team Dark has a 3-burst Flipper so I don't feel bad for them in the slightest. Also, a decent wedge would probably beat that.

Being salty, eh?

It's the frequency on the spike strips, they do so much damage idk how you've done it. Certainly not how it work work IRL unless they were a series of reciprocating saws or something which would be pretty neat

It's a shame that our team didn't have a wedged VS (or a Nightmare VS) to counter it now that I think of it. I think the only way to beat it is to outweapon it with a powerful HS (ours got eliminated to bad luck early on) or outwedge it (our team has no really good wedges)

Firstly, let's spare a thought for Gulden who's gonna have another Paladin war on his hands.

Secondly, let's ignore that thought and argue anyways.

AS's pinner could not work the way it does in-game in real life. It just couldn't. A rammer, wammer, pinner or sumo-bot (or any particular bot type that is blunt-force based) should not be able to sit under an opponent effectively immobile and straight-up kill it. Like, at least with Paladin it has to beat your wedges and flip you OOTA (even though that tends to be piss-easy with 3 bursts, but I digress). You just sit under them, cook the motors and tear off any armor with the spike strips.

And using Bad Attitude, a robot that used repeated rams and JD's to win fights instead of the (basically useless) blades on the wedge as an excuse is laughable considering that the blades on the RA2 robot have frequency from the skirt hinge they are mounted on.

@AS Are the spike strips statically mounted? Because they do an impressive amount of damage.

@Avalanche I don't think it's the flamethrowers doing damage

They're on skirt hinges because those are easier to angle than trial-and-error'ing a static setup. Just pretend it's a row of chainsaws, or something.

edit: Wonder if I could put a chainsaw in DSL 3...

I think the flamethrowers are certainly burning up the motors at the least. The spike strips kill, but the flamethrowers definitely rack up points and help wear down the motors and components.

Chainsaws do not even remotely work that way. Or saws if we're being completely honest.

The flamethrowers disable the motors, all the damage is from the spike strips. They jiggle around under pressure because they're on skirt hinges which is why they're doing so much damage. Pretty cool and very jewish.

I find it more comparable to crocodile smile in all honesty.

Anyways guys, while I support simple team fighting, directly attacking one robot saying it's 'cheap' or something along that line is not recommended.

Sooth yourself with a video instead.
