Title: Aaaand I'm also alive
Post by: eFFeeMMe on July 06, 2008, 07:51:42 AM: Is there a generic talk subforum in here? Couldn't find it. Anyway, how are you guys doing? It's been quite a while.

Post by: Clickbeetle on July 06, 2008, 03:49:26 PM: Looks like I might have picked a good time to start BBEANS4, what with luigica and eFFe both reappearing.

If you could scrounge up a bot for the tourney, I'm sure it would be much appreciated. :mrgreen: Inertial Deathlock was one of the most unique bots in BBEANS2 and had the potential to do a lot better than it did.

Yea. Was one of my favorites, perhaps even my favorite.

Strange, but as I remember the bid, i wasn't seeing it delivering very powerful blows...

Effe, what batteries did you put in Inertial Deathlock? The chassis is very small...

I wish I could remember... And I've lost all my bots during some format. I think it was 2 or 3 small batteries(which ones? Dunno! =p).

Post by: Naryar on July 06, 2008, 09:05:00 PM: OK this makes things clear. It has 6 eteks right? Well, that makes 270 amp drain so more than 4 big bllack batts. XD

What's clear? =P It COULD hit hard, it just wasn't a good design for that tournament and never got to actually sink a good hit in ;)

Post by: Naryar on July 06, 2008, 09:40:34 PM: No it was a cool design. And i bet if only it was full-powered it could have won a few fights.

Just seems underpowered, and with that chassis space you can't have that much batteries.

Yeah, the design itself was cool, but what it actually did was: remain in the corner it spawned in, rotate, and bump into the wall as soon as it hit the opponent, stopping. Or wait, I can't really remember. Did it ram at the opponent and start spinning when it was too late? Or am I mixing up with starcore bots?

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 06, 2008, 11:44:43 PM: Well, yet another vet returns. It's very good to see you and Luigica back for BBEANS. I'm guessing the feild just got that much tougher!
Title: Aaaand I'm also alive
Post by: Sage on July 06, 2008, 11:51:49 PM: i got them to come back :D

i found their youtube and sent them a message.

Post by: Somebody on July 10, 2008, 04:09:39 PM: I liked Inertial Deathlock in BBEANS 2, I now officialy have no chance:frown:

Also, the registration time goes to the 12th, but it might be extended another week.
Title: Aaaand I'm also alive
Post by: Clickbeetle on July 10, 2008, 08:56:05 PM: Registration was extended another week in an effort to get a few more entries.

IDIII suffered in BBEANS because in both fights, it went up against fast pushy flippers that could keep it from spinning up (first Smashbox and then Fight or Flight) and it was also underpowered. I modified it once so it had only four E-teks and grippier wheels on them, and it spun a lot faster.

Post by: Somebody on July 11, 2008, 12:16:59 PM: I really hope that you get more entries for BBEANS 4
Title: Aaaand I'm also alive
Post by: eFFeeMMe on July 20, 2008, 11:32:12 AM: Well, I can't seem to be able to make anything decent. I'll keep on trying!
Title: Aaaand I'm also alive
Post by: Somebody on July 20, 2008, 12:03:56 PM: Yo never know, I thought that my bot was bad, found beat Mako with it, and now it seems good.
