Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: R1885 on July 11, 2009, 03:25:01 PM: No.
Go to the wiki and look up pop up.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: ACAMS on July 11, 2009, 03:27:15 PM: I guess it can be, but the good ones have spike strips or razor tips that fire up and rip the bottoms of enemy bots.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Bot_smasher on July 12, 2009, 09:09:16 AM: Thanks.
Could it also flip into like some spikes or something?

Look through the showcases to get ideas for the most effective popup designs.

Um... Uh... I want to make my own bot. I'm just wondering about one rule.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on July 13, 2009, 01:11:04 AM: It would be your own bot, but take certain aspects of the designs you see and include them.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Bot_smasher on July 13, 2009, 05:05:13 PM: I just want to know if your allowd to flip into a wepon.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Naryar on July 13, 2009, 05:11:15 PM: You mean a non-damaging flipper with static weapons like CRITICAL EMERGENCY ?

Well not, that is no popup.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Bot_smasher on July 13, 2009, 05:30:05 PM: No, I mean a damiging flipper (like a spike strip) that flips into an elevates static wepon (like a mace). If not, define popup.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Naryar on July 13, 2009, 05:42:56 PM: Yes this can be a popup.

Well, you can define a popup as a wedgy bot that has short weapons on burst motors designed to attack the bottom plate of the bot : you get under the bot, and you fire your weapons.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Bot_smasher on July 14, 2009, 11:08:37 AM: oh. Thanks.

I can now initiate construction.

Just know it's the first splash I've ever made. Of anything.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Reier on July 15, 2009, 01:23:48 PM: Would a robot with a piston that fires diagonal instead of a burst count as a popup? Just...want something cool.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Naryar on July 15, 2009, 01:29:27 PM: nope, this is a poker.

Popups = burst motors.
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: Reier on July 15, 2009, 01:30:01 PM: Booooooooo...
Oh well, back to the drawing board.

nope, this is a poker.

Popups = burst motors.

I think that if the pistons are past a certain angle (45 degrees perhaps), then it could be considered a popup. All a popup is is a bot that has weapons "pop" from the direction of the chassis with the intention of attacking an opposing robot's underbelly. A poker would be a robot that "pokes" at another, regardless of the opposing robot's position.

In other words, if it has non-spinning weapons that are intended to attack under bots, it's a popup.

Post by: ACAMS on July 24, 2009, 03:21:48 PM: Ever who uploaded "Hell" is DQed...that is a poker and not even DSL.....if you redo it be sure to include your name next time.

Ever who uploaded Bot0.bot.......quit wasting time and space....and air!
Title: BOTM August 2009
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on July 27, 2009, 12:01:58 AM: 24 hours until bots have to be in for BotM August 2009...

And God I hope that normal building did mean the realistic rule could be violated.

Edit: Or did midnight on the 27th mean the sunday before? If so, they should be in... lol
