For immobilisation, maybe half the units needed? Slow bots or pinned ones will have a hard time.
Good luck sorting out the traction and joint issues, and the effect system sounds really good.

What bot type is that? SNS, Rammer, SNES?

Dude I basically just told him that.

You went into one aspect, I went into several, I had finished my post, went to reply, found you posted yours, thought i covered more than one aspect so i posted anyways.

id rather listen to craaig anyways since hes the top dog of ironforge, so i guess i will make my bot a pop-up, anything i need to do to make it a popup?

You should take in all points of view, and Geice says hello. But yeah, Craaig is good at what he does. To make a bot a popup, make the chassis wedge more shallow and make weapons that fire either forwards (normal popup style, in a axe motion from back to the front) or upwards (true popup/weaponed flipper style) like a flipper. Keep your weps concealed in your chassis. Protect your front with armor.

with good control over an opponent you can win a fight. damage may be the main way of winnong but you can immobilise any opponent if ya flip em from the right angle, even invertible bots. im gonna stick with a weaponed flipper if only just because you see popups EVERYWHERE and i hate metas where its only one or two classes or builds that dominate the competitive landscape, why do ya think i picked ironforge =)

You may have the best control ever, but newsflash! We use AI in tournaments. It took a massive innovation to actually let their opponents to be COUNTED OUT WITHOUT THEM FLIPPING THEM MORE. All correct angle buisness goes out the window with AI. Flippers are totally useless against invertible bots unless you oota them, and good on you for not conforming to the only two decent bot types. Or should that be 20? And Wep flippers are not much different from popups, to the point where its just like having two cars the exact same, but one has 3 wheels. The reliant robin only has 3, but its still a bloody car, if not more unstable and s***.

TL;DR Your statement in my opinion is wrong, and i have decided to ruthlessly  destroy your post.

And yes, I am a fan of weaponed flippers but I respect he fact they are effectivwly true popups and Popups are probably better.

i was going more for a weaponed flipper craaig, not a pop-up cause they dont seem very strong to me =p
Popups are one of the best bot types, due to the fact that they can 1 Hit KO bots. Bots do not tend to have under armour, and as a result popups target the weakest part of a bot. Stick a hell of a lot of weps together, make a powerful burst fire the weps full speed, DESTRUCTION.

Also by putting the weps in the chassis they are safer. Also, A weaponed flipper is basically a true popup.

Not to worry, since I am going to win this anyway. How could I not be voted for FIST the less worthy of the captains and take his place if i'm going to win the tournament ?

I'm in Greece right now, but my lovely personal assistants Billie and Holly (my dogs) are currently dealing with your comments in the same way my team's bots will when I become captain; shredding them, then urinating on your comments, along with your teams bots in the very unlikely scenario that you and I both become captains.

And yes, I am currently on holiday and will return 23rd of August, in time to captain my team to glory.

If you want this setup you need to add 10 cm extenders on the knifes facing inwards to attach another knife on that, then another extender and another knife.
You could also use Craaig's method as well.

Wait, it's in asdfmovie? I thought it was just the oldest dad joke in existence.
The recently released one. Not sure if trolling, sarcastic, or unaware of asdfmovie9.

i have a bot that has done quite well called "how to joeblo" which i dont feel like showin mainly because its done really well against then ai and i think its good enough as is =)

Always show your bots. I thought that CUC1 Was amazing. I was then proven wrong and was driven forward to make a better version.


Quick question, what would you guys say is my best bot so far? just curious =p
 ( heres the next update on my antweight... i think my weapon is too fast also im unstable af)
(Image removed from quote.)

Not sure how effective that wep will be.
Your best bot in my opinion would be Avalanche, once you make the spikes vertical. It may be a idea to have two racks, and trap the bot between them and shove them around.

Hmmm, well it IS slightly underweaponed I'll agree, but while it was built with Standard rules in mind I wanted the build to also look good, (somewhat artbot-like as Avalanche has pointed out) - which in my eyes, the rear scoop does. The large hammer was just my preference visually, plus it has much more HP than axe heads / spikes would, and is easier to repair.
Repairing is not a factor because we do tournaments via AIing bots then using exhibition, so dont factor it in. You could try using two hammers, running extender supports as well to them and doubling the damage.
