You're getting better each time you post a bot!

I know this is a junkyard, but: the flipper is WAAY too fast for a tabletop and for a flipper. Also, i don't see the point of this small caddie wheel on top of the JX's.

I don't see what's wrong with a fast flipper. I'm pretty sure that speed could allow for it ti attack side on, and it may also aid the main attack.

A very fast flipper is generally less efficient, wedge-wise.

And a thing as fast as this on a tabletop gets OOTA easily.

But if you reduce the maxspeed...

I actually only used normal t64's on this bot, & it still OOTAs sometimes. Ilike this bot, it just wasn't that destructive.
Edit: I AIed it & it never drives straight because it's front-heavy.

Has anybody a vertical spinner as a failure ? does anyone try to make a good vertical spinner on tabletop ?

A VS on a tabletop? Wrong choice IMO. In tabletop, pokers, pushers, rammers and flippers own.

It could depend though! There is a way to edit the bots .py so that it can avoid falling.

Low Bots=Success on Tabletop because Low Bots= Stability

I made a VS, but I'm not going to show it because it's probably going to be my entry

Assuming that ELBITE actually happens, which I'm not quite convinced of yet. But I like the idea behind it, so I'm getting ready just in case.

Let's just say I got a little... unorthodox... for the tabletop.

A promising ELBITE KotH bot, Stormhammer

Yeah, this is my version of Haymaker. 1mm titanium (i love this armor).

I thought a SnS would be the perfect choice for a tabletop because it was fast (getting on the top quickly) and having all-around offense (since it's a rumble) but NO!

That thing's too unstable to be used decently in a hilly arena, especially on top of a hill. A good blow will make it fly.

I still can't find what bot type could be efficient in a tabletop...

Did you try with a shorter DSL Bar ?

Here is an old attempt to make a bot available for a 4 fighters arena. It'is heavy, but i did not even try to make it MW : it always finishes with its long legs up. Funny anyway.

How do you create screenshots?

Naryar · « **Reply #32 on:** March 07, 2009, 01:45:41 PM »

Read the manual.
