Well. Seeing as Thyrus basically confirmed the result of the fight, guess I don't need to bother with spoiler tags.On one hand, I'm impressed with the durability of my robot. On the other hand, i'm disappointed I won via the WALL. Oh well.Panzer Strike Mk. II can't selfright because of how heavy the robot is, so if I come up against a flipper I will insta-lose. Also, I'm up against Super CarboniZe next, so that's probably going to go poorly as well.

Can we just disqualify the two of them?
Quote from: Avalanche on August 09, 2017, 02:55:20 PM Can we just disqualify the two of them?Funny, I was thinking the same for you for your rudeness towards the tournament host/other participants in the tournament.Anyhoo. Surprised that Hornhead won, was close (and boring) and I'm kinda sad that Minmi didn't win! One more hit and my bot would be out.I've said before that Hornhead isn't good and I'm watching the AWs closely to learn from them so I can improve my build quality for the small bots. Knock me all you want for a bad bot but don't knock me for wanting to improve.
Be advised that mods will be issuing mutes without warning from now on. Stop sh**ting this thread up. That is all.
Not PP3D: Undercutters don't work. I don't understand why people still do them.
Got to give a shout out to Demon and the whole community for this tournament. I was super hesitant to jump back into the game after I spent so much time working on my last project (a glorious giant beater-bar hammer) and then accidentally deleted it. </3However, watching these fights and seeing so many fun designs is inspiring af. A few thoughts:-It was really nice to see both Cling and Ashtray get wins. Both are designs I respected and appreciated, but I honestly didn't expect that out of them at all. -Vanilla Ice seemed at first like it could be a viable counter to Raus, and Raus still managed to walk away with a big win. I feel like that says pretty good things about it going forward.-Tire Chipper needs some kind of protection for the front of the chassis, otherwise I can't see it ever being effective. And this is from a member of "Undercutter Lovers Not-So-Anonymous". -Speaking of:QuoteNot PP3D: Undercutters don't work. I don't understand why people still do them.-Quoted Gulden for posterity. I don't like the NotPP3D bots, they're a bit boxy and sloppy-looking. But I respect the win here.-The Cruiserweight fights were amazing. inVasion surely would have stomped my poor bot if GTM Robot Wars had kept going. It's so aggressive.-Walkure v. Duke 2: #Lewd-Black Steel could not turn GTM Robogames into the #WedgeWorld that irl Robogames has become, thank you based Paladin. Maybe Whiplash should consider stealing an old Mechavore disc for next year's rematches against Swamp Thing and Original Sin...-I'll make my thoughts on Anti-Grav as brief as possible. I dig the Anti-Grav series. It was one of the first GTM bots I checked out. I always appreciate Avalanche's bluntness here and on the BB subreddit. But it wasn't just the arena that caused this result. The fact is, Anti-Grav could have easily taken a judge's decision if it had just lasted the whole 3 minutes. If you have no idea where the tournament will be held ahead of time, it seems advisable to make sure you're prepared for any scenario possible. That includes giving your robot enough battery power to sustain the entire length of the fight. It's an incredible risk to take, leaving a robot with less battery life; and in this case, it cost Avalanche a win. -I downloaded Mass Collider a while back to play around with. It's seriously one of the most powerful Tomb-clones I've seen in the game and can even dish out major damage against a lot of bots with the extra 200 in weight. I'm eager to see it get more action here.-Mindsweeper might be my favorite of the Heavyweights. It's a work of art and seems to back it up by hitting hard. -Didn't really care much for School's Out or Comet 4, but Comet 4 is kind of walking the tightrope of irl which kind of irks me. -Vulcan H ringing a bot out and getting a win. Kudos!-Generation Freakshow: A weird combination of everything that should make a bot absolutely ugly and yet still it's kind of glorious. That wedge looks like it's gonna cause problems too. -Shark Byte's hinged drum (is it hinged? if not, ignore what I'm about to say) is such a clever design decision. One of my favorites so far.Overall, I feel like the arena definitely will favor larger bots to a degree, but the fact that this is a double-elim tournament should give everyone a pretty good chance.
DSL-IRL is the libtard’s meta. Go drink more soylent, retard! #BLUELIVESMATTER

If you have no idea where the tournament will be held ahead of time, it seems advisable to make sure you're prepared for any scenario possible.

I'm going to release the brackets in a couple of days when I finish work experience, but for now, I am going to give answers to a few of the questions I have.Quote from: Badger on July 09, 2017, 07:50:13 AMAnd where did my HW's distractionbot go?I never got it in time.
