In real life, that would be almost as useless as the screws in the BB arena.

So being able to get under other bots and lifting them up on all the small spikes so they cannot get away and being able to carry them around the arena is useless?

There isn't that big of a chance that a bot has the ground clearance small enough to be completely hoisted and unable to move on those small spikes, nor a chance that those lifters on the side will actually get under something wide enough, or a chance that lifters that small will have enough leverage to actually pick up anything. Even if the blue moon does rise and the tide is high, that bot still wouldn't do any real damage other than taking the other bot to arena hazards, which is 1) useless if there are none and 2) takes a longer time then a HS/VS takes to rip a massive chunk out of a bot.

So yes.

Well there was Pyramadroid from Battlebots which his strategy was to trap or lift other bots and take 'em to the hazards and he won a couple fights.

And there was Probophobia from Robot Wars and Voltronic from Battlebots that had basically the same strategy...

I actually just watched a video of both Pyramadroid and Probophobia in combat and Probophobia looks pretty effective, but, it's longer than Automoton and is more narrow.

I don't want to further this argument, in starting it I realized I wasn't in the best of moods and now I kinda regret it.

I also just saw the Cyclone vs Probophobia vs Spin Doctor video. Though it did win, its win was kind of contributed to the unreliability of Cyclone's and Spin Doctor's blades (stopping up after hitting probo).

I feel like Cylclone would have raped if it didnt just conk out like that.

Nein. Especially in IRL, stealing designs isn't an amazing idea. Taking design ideas and putting your own spin on them, however..

They are quite bland.

i'll never understand why people make shell spinners with a bunch of big ass weapons on them and consider them "irl".

how do you put videos up because i got robot tests to show

ianh05 · « **Reply #298 on:** February 26, 2013, 10:28:47 PM »

Youtube is the best site to host videos, just make an account there if you haven't already.

PyRAMidroid won like literally 1 non-FF fight in its entire career, and it wasn't a hazard victory. The only time it even made it to a battle with hazards active it was annihilated by MOE.

Voltronic and The Probe are much better examples of robots that had a similar strategy.
