That's what I was commenting about earlier and what a surprise no replies.

Oh come on, be a bit more positively minded. I see you didn't have enough time to finish this bot as it's only 600kg. Your Clusterbot did do nice however and the first round wasn't bad as well, second round was against a out of control HS which gets very close to a Trinity bot(a thing that bounces around out of control and does massive damage that way, banned in most tournaments).

Man that HS is a unstable mess, controled movement sadly wasn't part of the rules, should've entered a Trinity Bot. First match was total garbage because of that, are we going to enter rotating spikeballs next?

Also music ended in the middle of the video and didn't come back after that.

So my opponents will be from group 4, think that Tough Love 2 and Gold Miner will be the two top bots there, VS might be able to do Gold Miner, that is if the hammer doesn't destroy the motors first, not so much for Tough Love 2. Other two look like the HS could destroy them, however I don't want to underestimate the flipping power of Urgent Emergency 2.

It's actually usually not that bad, it just had a minor havok off the start and right at the end. I didn't think it was major enough for a havok restart, maybe I was wrong.

I realised that I didn't extend the music to the end of the video, so it ends in the same place as the group 2 match. This is fixed in the group 4 video, which I'm currently rendering. I'll get going on recording the first round of playoff matches. Any other feedback?

It did havok more than that for the first match, was havok(0:15-0:23), then stable for a little bit(0:23-0:28), another havok(0:28-0:31), stable(0:31-0:40) and then the big havok(0:40) in the end which made the fight. Usually havoks that cause damage or cost the fight cause a rematch but this isn't noted in your rules(I don't want to be offensive, but a lot about this tournament didn't seem to be clear at first) but hey this is your tournament and all. In my view that thing was just too unstable and I would've redone it, but I don't want to discuss this further or get any negative rep, like I said before it's your tournament and your rules.

Your entries are well made and all Badger, but it feels kinda cheap to enter bots like that in your own tourney. no hate, just my opinion.

[botomatic1000]

I agree with mecha on this one.

Fair. I'm not good enough to be creative with stock so I just entered the first 2 generic things I could make.

I agree with mecha on this one.

You would have a point if you spent more than 10 minutes on your entries buddy. And you entered 2 popups anyway.

For me it's not the genericness but how the second one was basically a jumping spikeball of death. To be fair, the Clusterbot Popup was at least different to the 3 clones we see here. You two are going to be the best friends ever, aren't you?

The clusterbot popup was that way because he couldn't be bothered to make a HW lol. He wanted to enter it as a single bot before I suggested he made it a clusterbot.


It was a spikeball in the first match, fair, but vs boto's popup it wasn't any worse than any other 36hs. I've recorded the first round of playoffs and it doesn't spikeball at all in its matches there, which is nice.

[botomatic1000]

Eeeerrmmm I had at least two other entries before hand (T is for and also Omega in Orange) please could we not have another argument man.

[Thrackerzod]

yesss the hses are against each other in the main bracket

and there's no way Krastos can fight an hs in its first round

i'll prob still lose tho

And probably not in the second round either guessing that the top two get to enter the top slot while the bottom two get the bottom one. VS is going to fight a HS in the second round if it gets there.

Also, did you get my PM?

[Badger]

And with that, the groups have concluded!

[botomatic1000]

That was alright :P now time for me to go out to superior builders in the losers stages! lol

[R01]

The BBEANS blade sure is no joke, ripped that wheel directly off. Also the smartzones on Urgent Emergency seem to be off. So those are flippers, oh boy funny stuff could happen.

Redace vs Redace, looked like the Hammer would win.

Wait what, Wen won that one?! If Redace's bot didn't get stuff on it's own stuff it would have easily won that one.

And I'm gonna fight one of the most damaging popups in the game. Think this time you will see more than a extender with a ram plate and a wheel flying around, unless my bot manages to hit the unprotected top.
Expected that the spinner would have to fight Emergency, I do hope that it wins that one.

I don't get whats so wrong about losing to Wen have you seen my robots? there god awful lol :) anyways on the topic of this heat it was ok but no major upsets for me.

[Thrackerzod]

Congrats to Wen on making the Winners' Bracket!

And to all the new members who are feeling disappointed with their performance, don't worry.  Everyone's first couple of tournaments are terrible.  For example, here's my first tournament, where I took an impressive 0 wins: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13098

[botomatic1000]

Yeah but I aint gonna build a thing like that good for a couple years lol.

[RedAce]

>mfw gold miner lost to wen

GG though.

[Mecha]

I lost it when RedAce lost to Diggy Iron.
Congrats Wen.

Dude your bots are good, doesn't matter who had the idea for the clusterbot, in the end YOU made it, it was YOUR decision and you won some fights with it. If you look at Wen's bot you notice that the FS don't even hit until a lot of stuff gets removed. Redace's bot was destroying it but then got stuck on it's own stuff.

>mfw gold miner lost to wen

GG though.

If only the AI didn't drive up on the broken stuff. Makes me wonder how stable non hamachi multiplayer would be, also hey, see you in the next battle.

Just a nitpick here, but your splash (the 20mb one) wouldn't be so yuge if you saved it as .jpg instead of .png.

But then the quality would drop a lot.
