And why isn't it listed in The Official Weightclass guide by Sage?

Because the concept of Cruiserweight didn't become popular until after that guide was written if I remember correctly.

Joe was the first to plan a CW tourney, but I was the first to run one.

Ah, I see.

Light Heavyweight sounds really dumb in my opinion, kinda just implies middleweight to those who have no idea about these things such as myself. I'm 90% sure when it was proposed a few years back the person who named it, I believe Joe, shared a reason.

I remembered watching some sport and aapparently their Cruiserweight champ was a small short guy who couldn't have weighed more than 160 pounds. He was tiny and I just assumed cruiserweight was a light weightclass.

I was wondering for a bit about this weightclass. Why don't we call it Light Heavyweight like in boxing or MMA?

Because cruiserweight in inbetween Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight. One assumes that as 600kg is perched inbetween 400 and 800, that's where it comes from.

And if there were a Light Heavyweight division what would it's weight be?

One would assume 500kg.

Which is just kinda dumb.

Well. I was I gonna say im gonna build one but I already accidentally built one

But still, LHW (from my experience) has been used far more often.

In all these tournaments, people don't exclude dual beta bursts when they, in a walled arena, can finish the match in 3 seconds, why is this?
because they are large and weigh a lot it is beleived that you have to sacrifice something else on the bot like armor

yea what he said

dual beta burst requires ALOT of battery power anything less than the required amount means it's gonna get it's flippers stuck raised in the air doing absolutely nothing before the match ends

I built one before and it was slow, had terrible armor and all it could do really was flip so yea. balance
Ah Ok, I was just wondering because if you look at things like second sentinel, if you made a remake of that for this it would go in your favour if you got a good flip in

second sentinel is made of pure magic there is no way you can make a bot that tough while still having decent speed and enough power for the beta motors
magic? What so has the bot file been edited?

i 'unno. but yeah, it's tough, and remakign it is gonna be virtually impossible unless you're scrap daddy/massimov/090901/clickbeetle

first flipper I've built in a long time

looks terrible

flipping is great tho and it is rather wedgy

1116
Is Hyperion torner IRL? It looks like the blade cuts through the wheels and the chassis and I don't see any slots

1117
dont like the lines on the sides
Thats a texture from the 'Swag Pack' I can remove them if you want
The skirt hinge sticking out the side looks ugly. But, nothing big. Looks great.
Thanks Shield :mrgreen: thats nice to hear

But apart from that, any other thoughts?

I personally like the long wedge, but yea. SKBT's right. No not uses that long a wedge
