You can't go out in groups, everyone get at least 3 games. That's why I like this format :D

wait I entered PIERCE 3.0?? I thought I entered another bot oh well the other bot used RA2CF anyway so this will be interesting.

Badger · « **Reply #5 on:** July 24, 2016, 07:42:29 PM »

Groups are up, will probably record group 1 tonight. I'll hold on the uploads for a couple days so you can predict to your heart's content or whatever.

OA3 x2 (was supposed to be with tangerine avenger 3) I don't know how well it will do and muscle car was something half assed.

~~OK, so. This'll be easier if you have the spreadsheet open in another tab.~~ Spreadsheet is not very spoilerific

You have 4 groups of 4, right? So bot #1 and #2 in each group battle in a BO1, as do bots #3 and #4. Winners of those battles fight, losers fight. Then the 2 bots with 1 win 1 loss fight to get a ranking from 1st to 3rd. Then after groupstages, ALL bots are moved to the bracket, with the bottom 2 in each group placed in the lower bracket. It's the same format as the Dota 2 majors, so someone has probably explained it better than me.

I checked and orange/tangerine avenger are literally identical bro.

One (TA3) is lighter coloured.

I've started to record and I'm using the spreadsheet to keep track, so it is now VERY spoilerific (it will update before videos are uploaded.)

Edit: Modified spreadsheet so it is no longer spoilerific unless you choose to view results.

I am screwed unless I get some pretty damm good luck ... (Well at least I got my reputation levels altered)

mr as better win this sh**, f*** yo hs and popups guys

09090901 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2016, 04:29:59 AM »

fuiggk me but ill still do predictions
AuckFGOD: Messy, but it's an HS so it might win something
Faceless Void: Generic
Orange Avenger 3: Good arena for multi-bots, popup is meh
Muscle Car: Looks like it'll get raped by HS
Aquarius: Pretty cool, looks like a modded hex 2. Weapons seem a little on the fragile side though.
Red Giant: About as good as a wedgless poker is going to get
Gold Miner: Cool design. Not the greatest of hybrid synergy, but it's still pretty baller
Tough Love: Same as Faceless Void. Skin looks nice at least
Krastos: Wedges will decide it's success. Shallow chassis might give it a chance against HS
Im Watching Pinball!!!: The dumb arena floor might let it get under some bots, but it's not making it outta groups
Mr Claws: Generic bear claw HS
Diggy iron: Spooky
Diggy orange: If the zteks were rotated so that the center irons actually made contact, along with some general improvements, it wouldn't be bad a bad bot
Your Best Dream: Doesn't have enough power to toss other bots and exposed weapon extenders. Might be able to kill a popup if it gets outta groups
Spinner: Under weaponed for an HS and the caster setup doesn't look great
UrGent EmerGency II: Might survive if the arena does dumb sh**; dead if it doesn't

Overall:

Faceless Void, Muscle Car and Tough Love 2 all look like clones. TL2 has closer wedges and the wheel ground clearance advantage however.

Did you save the image as JPG/did any color corrections Badger? The skin on my bot looks a lot darker than the original file:

In case you are using Windows Color Profiles, I really don't recommend that, half of the applications get it over Windows' profile while the other half gets it without it, better to manually adjust your monitor and pick S-RGB where available(so far that has given me the most accurate colors)

Also both of my bots in the same round? I thought this was done so that only one of the two can advance, but doesn't seem to be the case with all teams.
Is there still any time left if I wanted to send in a finished skin for your best dream or generic spinner? Think stuff's already recorded.

Both bots are angled vertical spinners, just like Nightmare from Battlebots:

It once had 4 spinners(outer 2 without stacked spikes, spikes were also in front instead of sideways) wonder if that would've been enough in stock(think with the unstable SnapperII's it would have), having run it against Tricycle Takedown's Popups I don't think that will happen.

Didn't have much more weight, hoped that extra motors would make it spin longer, also ran out of weight for casters so only each ends are covered.

What's up with the arena floor? thought this would be the flat arena with low walls and the spinner in the middle?

Predictions:

Group 1 Winners:
Generic Spinner
Krastos, the Glue Maker

Group 2 Winnres:
Mr. Claws
Faceless Void

Group 3:
AuckFGOD
Aquarius

Group 4:
Tough Love 2
Gold Miner

I'd like Aquarius or Gold Miner to win, but I'm thinking one of the generic spinners or pop-ups will take the crown.

@R01
I put a green background on the botlab and chroma key'd ot out in paint.net for the splashes, so it might've altered the green on your bot's skin. It'll look fine ingame.

botomatic1000 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 25, 2016, 01:49:37 PM »

now I know my MUSCLE CAR isn't too original but tough love and faceless void are literally the same!

Badger · « **Reply #19 on:** July 25, 2016, 06:41:15 PM »

Group 1 is out, editing Group 2 together now.
