I told you NFX.
and my match went exactly like I expected, nice.
Oh man, I really don't know how I will fare in my next match. I can take out Trollestia and One Way Ticket with a bit of strategic driving, and I can easily disarm The Beast. On the other hand, I might get overwhelmed by the sheer number of weapons my opponents have, and there's a chance I will get attacked from behind.

Oh man, I cannot believe we won that. Too bad my partner had to do most of the work. I got worried after he got KO'd in the second match.
Good job to TRiaS and our opponents. You fought well.

I'll take Dreadnought if that's okay.

My weapons are extremely powerful as well, and your bot isn't wide enough to get past them. F*** yo 20000 HP frame

Hmm, didn't go as well as I hoped, but at least I only lost one mace. And I lol'd at Trollestia hanging from Grinding Noise and not getting hit by it. So we meet again Kill, except this time I'm not letting you leave with a full pair of wheels.  Alright, round 8 predictions: One Way Ticket > Rider on the Storm - Like Blood Shed, Rider on the Storm doesn't have many weapons left. However, unlike Blood Shed, it has those casters that prevent it from being KOed upfront. The Beast < Grinding Noise - I wish this had happened sooner because The Beast is one of the few bots here capable of damaging Grinding Noise. Voulez-Vous > Effing Stock - The few weapons ES has left isn't enough to protect it from Voulez-Vous. Stratocaster < ReFlection - Another easy match-up for me, boring. Though I might end up losing another mace. Plutonium < Frag Beetle 2.1 - With next to no protection left Frag Beetle isn't going to have a hard time tearing off Plutonium's remaining wheels. Triceratops > X-Press - Ordinarily this would be another wedge war, but since X-Press is missing his, it won't put up much of a fight against Triceratops. Unexpected Nightmare > Speedy DX - Speedy DX will just wear out its remaining weapons on Unexpected Nightmare's relatively healthy front. Trollestia 2 > Revolutions Per Minute - Unlike the last time these two met, RPM has lost a wheel and around 1/3 of its weapons while Trollestia has hardly suffered any damage at all. Your Best Frenemy > BlackVein - With its wedges now gone BlackVein will have a lot more trouble damaging YBF's huge chassis.

Also... is Quark-nova my Hypnodisc rep from the first NQRW tourney?! Not angry, but its the chassis shape and the overall design that look very familiar... 
Yeah, I knew I was blatantly ripping off your bot as I was building it. However, mine is also a SnS, so its 3rd spinner actually comes into play, unlike yours :P OK, going from bots I would least like to face to bots I'm comfortable facing: Omega 3 - Wide enough to stop my spinners and strong enough to damage me while withstanding my attacks. Silver Lining - Very strong like Omega 3, just lacks the ability to pin. Calm-Assertive - It has plenty of reach, so it can get to my chassis easily while I won't be able to cause a lot of damage in return. Tasmanian Mouse - Those weapons are very strong, and it'll be able to pin me very easily. I can only hope my discs keep spinning while it does so. Billy-Bot - Might cause some damage to my chassis, but its weapons and weapon supports are weak. Recycle! - Pretty slow, but the weapons look deadly, and that wedge plate is gonna mess up my drive if it gets under me. Minionbeetle - Seems like it's fast enough to get under me, and its weapon isn't to be take lightly either. 518/2 - Its weapons could knock me off balance, and it's wide enough that I might have trouble knocking it to the side. Lazy Dog - It looks fast, I just hope it doesn't have enough power to throw me out of the arena. Ironclad - I don't know if I can break through all that armor. You Ruined It - From the preview video, it looks like it has enough reach to hit my chassis, just not sure how well it will withstand my attacks. Swift Justice - Strong weapons and might be fast enough to get under me. Devour - I'm sure I can out weapon this easily, but I'm not sure about those spikes. Purrloin - Very exposed chassis, but the weapons look pretty low. T--MinusMinus - Chances are it's not going to get under me, or anything else, but I'd be worried since those weapons pack quite a punch. Dr. Crab PHD - The weapons might be low enough to hit my chassis, but that's the only thing about it that worries me. SirNotAppearingInThisFilm - Weak weapons and an exposed chassis, and I don't think the drive is fast enough. Cage Brawler - Slow, mediocre weapon, and I don't think that frame will hold up. Anorexia - Only got to the final last time because of luck.

I don't think you need the aluminum extenders on Destroying Angel in the first place. Also move the spinners farther apart. IIRC you posted a pic of this before, and it didn't look realistic in that pic because the weapons intersected.
I'm not sure how you can improve the others, but maybe switch the Tornado wheels on Death Cap for Vlad wheels unless you need the larger diameter.

HOLY CARP
I JUST REALIZED THAT REFLECTION LOST A WHEEL WAY BACK IN ROUND 4
AND IT'S BEEN FIGHTING WITH 3 WHEELS EVER SINCE
AND NO ONE HAS EVEN NOTICED INCLUDING THE OUNCE
I just noticed myself after I finished putting the round 6 video together and reviewing it for errors. Ounce will be happy to know I fixed the problem (gave ReFlection 4 wheels and took away a spare) and re-filmed its round 6 fight. I can't really re-film its round 5 fight at this point though.
I knew I lost a part back in round 4 but I couldn't figure out what it was. Thanks for clearing that up. Shame though because I probably would still have perfect wins if it weren't for that mistake. Anyway: Woo, my first elimination! Now, my next opponent is one I would choose not to face, but I'd still rather fight this than some others.
Quite an exciting round this time. I'd never thought BlackVein could pull that off. Never thought I'd see a double elimination either.
Round 7:
Voulez-Vous > BlackVein - It's pretty close, but V-V looks like the more stable of the two.
Unexpected Nightmare < ReFlection - With only 3 wheels remaining, Unexpected Nightmare shouldn't be hard to flank. Hopefully I can get to its "good side" for another elimination.
Stratocaster < Speedy DX - With most of its weapons and wheels missing, I don't see how Stratocaster can fend off Speedy DX.
Supernovae 2.1 > Rider On The Storm - Even though Supernovae is missing quite a few weapons, it's still more than capable of doing major damage to Rider On The Storm.
Trollestia 2 < Grinding Noise - Trollestia has been doing a good job of avoiding damage so far, but I don't see how it can avoid taking damage from Grinding Noise.
Your Best Frenemy > Triceratops - I don't know why, but I feel Triceratops will have trouble getting underneath YBF.
Frag Beetle 2.1 < X-Press - Because X-Press at least still has a wedge extender.
The Beast > Revolutions Per Minute - I don't care if RPM has the weapon advantage, that AI change has done it more harm than good.
Blood Shed < One Way Ticket - Blood Shed doesn't even have 25% of its weapons for crying out loud.
Effing Stock > Golden Sun - Not sure if Effing Stock is going to eliminate it however.

I actually thought that KW was gonna win toward the end
Same here, even though I found the force of the weapon keeps it from getting immobilized in that position.
Whoa, looks like I made it to the final, though I was hoping for a showdown with Click. Still, Vague Entity looks just as formidable. I hope I can get under it and knock off that 400-hp motor before it gets enough good hits on me. Seen Ounce's entry.
All hope is lost.
I wouldn't worry that much, the new version might have a less vulnerable chassis, but it still has exposed sides, which you wouldn't have trouble damaging with that powerful weapon. The question is if you can do so while it's tearing up your side. Still think I should've skin the discs to look like records though :/ Edit: Yep, I figured that would happen.

Not bad for a first bot, though this will run fine off just a Nifty battery, and it's possible to make it invertible using only shiny hub wheels.

Freeziez, I thought I sent you an update for my MW. Also, WTH? Urjak stole my bot!
That said, my LW has a chance in round 1, but if Freeziez isn't using my updated MW then it's not gonna get win its match like I expect.

Any advice on Ramp To Heaven?
You could use the remaining weight to change a couple of the skirts from titanium to steel, and using Wheely Big Cheese wheels can help with the invertibility issues. Judging by how it did in 2L2Q, you'll probably need a steeper slope on the wedge in order to consistently force your opponents out of the arena. This is really the best I can do as I haven't experimented with this type of design.

WTF? I lost because I got stuck on the spikes?!
Well, at least I didn't suffer too much damage, and I have an easy opponent next round to make up for it.
135
« on: October 07, 2011, 07:41:31 AM »
That does look very well-built, but I wonder if putting the spinner in front would improve the weight distribution.
136

The bracket wedge looks like it's blocking the top weapons. Even if it isn't it, doesn't look useful since the weapons already prevent bots from going over the top. Also, try to make it wider: it looks like it will get flanked easily.

Sage, I wasn't implying that as the reason NF should be my signature bot. I was just surprised because I thought R0B0 knew more about BTTB1.
Still, Nuclear Fallout is possibly my best stock HW, and one of the few bots I've entered into multiple tournaments as well as try to hype up a little. It should at least be somewhat recognizable.

You could just make a new post rather than edit your original one. Also, try to crop your pictures so only the bot (and weight) is shown.
Now for the new bot, you're still using too many batteries: this bot will function fine with a single Supervolt. That rear trapper thing doesn't look too useful either, I would replace it with just a snowplow on an extender attached to the baseplate anchor.
Normally, I would complain about you having custom components in your game, but since you've done a good job not using them so far, I'll leave it alone for the most part. Just remember that we have a separate section for bots with custom parts.

The chassis looks way too tall, and the extender on the perm is unnecessarily heavy. I agree you could use the spare weight to add light DS teeth to the ends of the beaters so it would have at least as much weaponry as Cash Cow.

Chassis space management is good, but you don't need that many batteries, and they need to be built to the weight limit. Also, try to use shiny hub wheels as much as possible, and focus on just one weapon system at a time.
