that motor protection is a tiny bit flimsy here, for an irl bot...

Most likely too fast and would do better with some armor, but ultrafast flippers are kinda nice as well because they OOTA stuff more easily.

that's not enough flipping power. Add another bsg, or even two others.
Also you need to put the bsg's higher so they actually flip stuff better. If you put them outside on multiextenders/baseplate anchors it's fine due to their high hp. Unless you want to build IRL but at that point the most important thing is learning how to build good bots. IRL/Standard choice can come later. 1169

also that's assuming RA3, if it is released, is actually *better* than RA2 and not some casualized scrublord game. besides, making a game for a small community of fans who aren't even giving money to the studio seems unrealistic at best. 1173

prediction time !
AngryKillerWhale : ...it has stock T-extenders as a weapon rack ![]() Black Moon : Well, it's my robot. We'll see how it goes. It's not very oldschool to be honest, although it DOES look like a 2010-esque build from me, so a bit. I think it looks good however and a VS/ram is decently original. Death of Angles 3 : Wasn't he previous death of angles a popup ? Anyways... I like it because it's very BBEANS2-esque (what was that bot named ? Maulinator or something ?) and it is a wedged shell spinner. The wedge actually pointing the right way remains to be seen, however. Also : it'll lose to the first spinner it meets easily, calling it now. EAT RANDOM MUSHROOMS : It's not especially interesting... not very oldschool as well. EVIL SONIC : Meh, re-entries. See ERM for how I feel about it. Well, it's more original than the former. Fat Fever : Generic Flipper from the West : I... suppose ? It's not very good or oldschool. Metal Smashin' : Now that's a bot I like. It's Ordo Malleus with pokers which means it is both oldschool and a hybrid. Thumbs up. Nigel : I suppose it is more interesting than the genericville entrants. Very quick. Will depend on wedges a lot. Not a lot of weapons, so it can just get tossed Not Bushido : There are worse entrants... It is both rare (samurai sword popups aren't very common) and bland. Will depend on wedge, although it does need to be faster. Nuclear Arms Race : For a Clickbeetle bot, it is noticeably unsophisticated. Still decent, however. Ohm's Law : This is going to OOTA everything with incredible ease considering only about 2 bots (hint: it's the HS's) can face them with any chance of victory. So it's kinda like a crawler in a rammer tournament D: Well, to SM's credit, the effectiveness of flipper multibots depends on the number of HS/SnS in the tourney, and he didn't had the splash before building the bot. Still... Questions : It looks cool. Still a bit on the generic side. Radiant Storm : Eh. It's... okay, but nothing special. Tentacle Assault : It's a hybrid, a rarely seen bot type, and I think it's either a wammer/side hammer or something of a trapper/weaponed flipper. It's not too oldschool, but I still love it. <3 Yeah, some people should have put a bit more effort into their bots... And now for the round 1 predictions. Evil Sonic > Bushido : Unless bushido is actually wedgier than Shadow the Edgehog. Nigel > FFTW : Yeah. Doubt fftw can actually get under Nigel, although it can happen. Radiant Storm < Nuclear Arms Race : In most cases, HS > VS. Fat Fever =/= Angry Killer Whale : Actually i kinda expect an OOTA by the newbie, considering it's a giant-ass dual perm spinner with no front/rear stabilizers VS a rammer in this arena (and it will be hilarious). However, that will depend of the speed of the rammer, and it doesn't look very fast. So it could go either way. Metal Smashin' =/= Black Moon : This will be interesting. I have the bot type advantage and more weapon weight, while he has more armor and he can possibly attack me from the top. Will depend on wedges a lot, of course, but I am looking forward to this match. I am slightly unhappy about being either eliminated or eliminating a cool bot for the first round, but it's what happens. Ohm's Law >>> Death of Angles 3 : Well, remember when I said " a spinner will kill this ?" I was just forgetting Ohm's Law. Anyways, DoA3 doesn't have enough bite to really stop the flippers, so it'll just go OOTA quickly. 1174

Chatterbox / Re: Jokes« on: February 23, 2016, 12:43:11 PM »here's a funny-ass joke for you guys No, I am just telling you to stop posting because you are probably gonna make a cringe joke and attract the anger of a few people (or attract the anger of a few people anyways without cringe jokes), hence creating another flame war. and since this is chatterbox, arguments/flaming is more frequent, since it is less regulated here. childish ? i think not. more seriously, that thing you claim to be an "insult" is *how you are perceived*. i am aware you calmed down lately and that is a good thing, but you can expect to live with that sh**poster reputation for a while, and people are gonna bring it sometimes, directly or indirectly. deal with it. Better forget about it, tbh, and not argue over it. 1176
Stock Showcases / Re: Re: Suede's Stock Showcase« on: February 23, 2016, 10:55:04 AM »
output is not important here since he has 2 motors anyways.
Electotal is, however, and i'm not sure if 3 pinks or 1 nifty is better in electotal. Well, nifty's more efficient weightwise, but lower gutripper is important too. 1177

Who's going to build a robot ?
This one tooth spinner is weird, I must say... but yeah i can see why you are doing it. It's just triggering my OCD. 1179

so this is kinda like n00b warz in which the robots have to be n00b like... interesting.
what weightclasses ? is it MW, HW, LW, or all three ? components from the original game bans the snapper II i guess, and the 5kg 120cm square extender, but i see some bear claws in there. you'll need to have a better ruleset, i think... |
