I'm literally in the botlab now, I knew I'd be busy for a couple days so thought if I put start/end dates it would be ok?

I might message an admin anyway just to clear that up for future challenges!

Post by: Dragonfire on July 23, 2016, 09:09:29 AM: Just as a FYI, in the rules it states:

Quote
If any of the contestants have not submitted their bots within seven days of the battle thread creation date, then the battle is deemed to be in a disqualified state.

Hence dates written in the first post of the thread are null and invalid.

Post by: R01 on July 23, 2016, 01:49:08 PM: Poor Redace, guy always seems to get screwed over be it in BOTM, Tournaments or side challenges, at least it was a 1:2.
Gotta say that the Drum design and use of the Bracket give this bot a interesting Red Devil like look, drum does look a bit fragile. Also gotta love the axe armor, how did you get the piston to stick out like that?(guess that's more snapper 2 stuff?) and what were you guys using for the wedges? Silver Bullet had trouble self righting while Redrum flipped itself over instantly.
Also those havoks in the last battle. 1:05 looks like Redace's bot throws Hi5er's up into the air, best havok 2016?

Post by: RedAce on July 23, 2016, 02:27:53 PM: GG dude. And honestly, I kinda enjoyed the match, despite getting beaten it. We both sent in pretty different designs, both were strong, and it didn't focus entirely on a wedge war. Also, I mostly sent in Silver Bullet, about a year old bot, as something to send in quickly as when the thread was public, I went "Oh right. I should probably send in something."

Snapper2s. I don't have a lot of power in the bot, so self-righting itself was going to be a problem.

The havok god's wanted me dead in the last game, but Redrum pulled through.

My thoughts behind banning SnS and HS was in the hopes that we would build something outside the meta and we did.

I was using a Snapper 2, but like Redace said, I had a supervolt powering mine. The drum is quite weak, but if you manage to stay under your opponent it doesn't matter too much, but it can't handle repeated charges in that's for sure. I just wanted to see if a MW drum bot was feasible lol.

I will add it to my showcase soon.

I was thinking more about hammers, also thought that was your idea, hoping to see a LW drum next.

THAT is fantastic haha.

A LW drum will certainly be on my to do list. I'm surprised Redrum actually worked... I'm sure the wedge is the main reason it did.
