If I end up with some free time, I might look into whipping something up for this.


For once the mods did something right

can I enter a weaponed flipper like this or is too close to a popup
(Image removed from quote.)

This tournament is supposed to bring out the creativity in us. I feel this design is unique enough to compete if you want buddy  :thumbup

Also, entries from:

Badger
Silverfish
Redace
and R01

all received, will check them soon and notify if any issues.

Send it in and I'll review it mate!

I'll let you know if I have any issues with the design.

I'm surprised that my bot got in 5th, given how I sent it in as soon as possible.
Looking at the recent stock showcases, I think that my bot will really have a bad time with those.

Mixed thoughts about the weaponed flipper, for one "come on, we have a tournament and the next similar thing to a popup gets entered", on the other hand weaponed flippers are rather rare and the only real way to make flippers win stuff outside of OOTA's, so it should be all good to enter.
As usual, the stacking amazes me.

Me too mate, the response has been incredible! You really were number 5 to send in a bot :laughing (including me).

I had mixed thoughts about the weaponised flipper as well, but to me it is a unique design (when do we see flippers?) and gives the bot a way to win without relying on an OOTA. It's certainly taken more skill to build than a pop-up as well so I think it's fair game.

The design has been around for a while and you still sometimes see flippers. Technically a popup with razors replaced for spike strips can already count as weaponized flipper, but it's nice seeing something that looks more like Mystic2000's Tricycle Takedown entry. I'd say as long as not everyone starts entering weaponized flippers, it's totally alright.

no it isn't it's still a popup dude. you can make a weaponed flipper with razors if you wanted to, it just wouldn't be any good because razors only have 500 hp compared to every other weapon in stock

True, a flipper focuses more on flipping opponents out of the arena with low damage output while the popup focuses more on damage. But how would you do a front hinged flipper and in what category would you put Fracture's bot from your recently hosted tournament?

fracture's bot is a popup, just a very powerful one that gave it amazing OOTA capability. nobody even makes front hinge flippers in stock anyways.

weaponed flippers = exposed weapons that stay exposed while flipping robots

popups = concealed weapons that "pop up" (or out) when fired
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

plus popups are made to go for KO's while weaponed flippers go for the OOTA while maybe trying to earn some points, i don't recall ever seeing a weaponed flipper that could get KO's

Already mentioned that before :P
Personally I'll judge them based on damage they do and how well they can flip.
Anyways, back on topic. Looking forward to seeing all the unique designs.

Hey guys, I have returned from holiday.

I have received a number of extra entries so I may have to disappoint a few people...  :(

I will begin reviewing everyone's designs and getting this underway shortly!

Hey, I was worried if something happened. Also you should possibly get Discord and get on the GTM discord server(be warned about it if you haven't heard how GTM Playground/Sandbox is like)

It is. I under-estimated how little free time I'd have now I'm back at work, football and gym, but i'm still moving this forward. I've posted a 'help me' post in the Tips and tutorials section as I can't get the bots with flamethrowers to import into the lab.

I've received exactly 8 entries though, so i'm closing sign ups at least.

Please excuse the double post.

Signups closed. Entries accepted. Lets move this forward!

(ignoring the fact that the official GTM tournament will completely overshadow it haha)
