High hopes for Cirrostratus, as long as the flipper's dont fancy, not much on Gnasher, he's properly toast.

I'm surprisingly confident going into this first round with both my bots, but then again I'll probably get flipped over and lose somehow.

"It has weapons galore"
"They are pretty crap"
xD

That's what happens when you make a bot in about five minutes.

Me vs two flippers...

As long as I don't get OOTAd (which would happen pretty fast :P) I should have this.

I never sent off the smaller chassis update I guess...

Post by: ty4er on May 16, 2014, 04:09:21 AM
Half of these bots are either not irl or horrible

hopefully these first rounds should be easy for me though
Title: Re: Powers Of Three - Videos
Post by: RedAce on May 16, 2014, 04:43:48 AM
Let's see who we got here:

Ankle Biter: Not a bad looking replica.

Ares: I can't say too much about this.

BitZy: Weird looking flipper honestly.

Centurion: the weapon looks like it's not even IRL at all.

Cirrostratus: I won't say too much since it's the guy's first tourney.

Cold Front: Hopefully the AI also fixed the fact it can't drive straight

Delta 792: Interesting Flipper.

Dr. Bee: Looks pretty good.

FTK: I agree with the construction Kurt.

Gnasher's Revenge: Looks alright.

Gong Nui: Nice skin, Looks pretty good overall.

Helix: "All praise the Helix" as a strength and weakness. That's pretty funny. Overall, looks decent.

Industry 3: I've seen this bot before. Not much else to say.

Infernadacity: Nice to see you again Powerave, It looks pretty good.

Mauler 2000: Another good looking replica.

Mouldy Cheese: Looks okay. Different than the others I'll say that.

PunchOUT!: Not Professor Alien Looks pretty good for a fun show bot.

Robawt: Entering it again man.

Self Defence Roots: Looks like a strong weapon, but may get flipped easily if something happens.

Snugglebot: Looks decent, weapon does look sturdy.

Son of Hurricane: It's been re-entered to the point where it's getting beyond the scale S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Botening 1.1: "Uh..." Are my thoughts about this one.

The Void: Nice and sturdy design.

Thunderclap: Very original design.

Toothy Grin: Looks pretty menacing.

Triple Threat: Original Hammer/Flipper/VS bot made in five minutes.

Warmonger: Not a bad design. I don't like the wedge though.

Overall some pretty decent entries. This may a pretty good tournament. Good Luck everyone!

It's like, the second time I've entered it and I want it to win something before I retire it I spent too much time on it I can't stop now
Title: Re: Powers Of Three - Videos
Post by: Badnik96 on May 16, 2014, 09:20:29 AM
FTK is going to win because it might as well be standard DSL. If Gong Nui doesn't get OOTAed by something it'll outweapon almost everything.

Post by: 090901 on May 16, 2014, 03:44:32 PM
PREDICTIONS !!!

Thunderclap vs Snugglebot vs Infernacity
Despite Snugglebot being one of the few actually IRL looking HS in this, I see it either getting smashed by Thunderclap or broiled by Infernacity. Infernacity may have a chance if it gets under and stays under Thunderclap.
Winner: Thunderclap

Dr. Bee vs Mauler 2000 vs Son of a Hurricane
Mauler 2000 doesn't seem to pose that much of a threat here as Son of a Hurricane could easily gutrip it and Dr. Bee's weapon can get hits in to the exposed chassis without getting any damage it looks like. Dr. Bee I believe will somehow get pinned against the wall and then KO'd by Son of a Hurricane
Winner: Son of a Hurricane

Moudly Cheese vs Cirrostratus vs Triple Threat
The battle of the uglies right here. Moudly Cheese's flipper looks worthless and won't do anything and will probably just get ripped apart by Cirrostratus or Triple Threat. Triple Threat I'm guessing has tin foil armour and will just get torn apart by Cirrostratus
Winner: Cirrostratus

Warmonger vs PunchOUT! vs Centurion
2 non-invertible bots vs a flipper, do I need to explain?
Winner: Warmonger

Gong Nui vs BitZy vs Industry 3
Gong Nui is pretty slick but I don't think it will stand that much of a chance as I see it getting gutripped by Industry 3 or getting thrown OOTA by BitZy. BitZy just needs to get one good flip in on Industry 3 then to end it.
Winner: BitZy

Gnasher's Revenge vs FTK vs Cold Front
I don't think Gnasher's Revenge will do much damage with the swords. FTK is pretty much flipper food for Cold Front
Winner: Cold Front

Ankle Biter vs Self Defence Robot vs Ares
Ares should have no trouble at all here gutripping both Ankle Biter and Self Defence Robot.
Winner: Ares

Delta 792 vs Helix vs Toothy Grin
Toothy Grin will either fling itself OOTA or get tossed. Then it's done to a the battle of the wedge which Helix should be able to win
Winner: Helix

Robawt vs The Botening 1.1 vs The Void
Robawt doesn't have that much of a chance as The Void and The Botening 1.1 should be able to rip apart the chassis. The Botening 1.1 should be able to win provided the chassis and weapons hold up.
Winner: The Botening 1.1

well sugglebot has a low back wedge which will be useful in a battle of 3
thuderclap is my concern
infernadacity ,im hoping will flip on the wedge
Title: Re: Powers Of Three - Videos
Post by: Mouldy on May 17, 2014, 03:13:29 AM
The flipper of Mouldy Cheese isn't awful. It's pretty bad but like I've said before I have no clue how to make it better. Can't actually find anything to help but I'm probably not looking in the right places.

I'll probably have more luck if I enter one of my spinners instead next time. They're definitely better than my flipper bots.

However, I have to disagree with you 09(etc) I feel that I may actually pull this one off. I mean I probably won't but if I can get one good flip on Cirrostratus I may have it.

And as for my favourite robot... The Void. Love that.

So cirrostratus is facing Dr Bee and Thunderclap, Cirrostatus may either shred them both or the flipper maker's may come off.

And for gnasher's next fight is Warmonger and Industry 3, looks like gnasher is screwed.

Whups, I just assumed they were allowed since they are in most IRL tournaments.  Maybe they're just regular Matilda teeth then--don't want to jump to conclusions.  Worth checking out though, if Kurt hasn't already.

Title: Re: Powers Of Three - Videos
Post by: Philippa on June 11, 2014, 11:59:48 AM
Okay, Triads might take longer to film than I thought. All the bots that have fought are so evenly matched that none of them are dominating the match, which means everything starts smoking, which means lag, which means RA2 crashes, which means resets, which means it takes up a load of time. Oh, and Havok explosions too.

I've managed to record Triad One after countless attempts, and Triad Two is taking even longer. Not tried anything with Triad Three yet, hopefully that'll be easier.

Do you want Triad One now or posted with the other two when they have been filmed?
Title: Re: Powers Of Three - Videos
Post by: Clickbeetle on June 11, 2014, 09:30:30 PM
3 MWs shouldn't generate that much lag, even when damaged and smoking.  Seems like something else must be going on.  You're sure you don't have any memory-hogging programs running in the background?

Havok explosions I can see, though.

If you think it's going to be a long time until Triads 2 and 3 are done, then post Triad 1 now.  If you think you've almost got them, then wait.

I deal with lag as well so let me give you a few tips, hopefully you havent tried any of these yet. Try lowering the fps, that should be a given it will help with lag the lower it is. I personally record at 25.

Also right click while on the desktop and click on the show desktop items. It'll take away all of the icons but it helps tremendously.

There was another one that had to do with going to the control panel and setting it to have best performance instead of best appearance but I can't remember how to do that one try looking it up.

Hopefully I helped :)

Technically yes. Honestly the best option is to call the tournament complete and get it moved, then you can post grudge matches as you wish as they are a non-essential part of the tournament.
