Sage didn't enter wat I thought he made #11 >_<

Anyway WOO I got in the top 5. :] Pretty good for my first time entering (and having been on the forums for like a month)

I voted for my own entry, of course.

What happens if the time runs out? If it's based on points then, that'll put quite a bit of emphasis on Ramplates for your bot....

I will lol if a bot's control board gets destroyed due to Ramplate attacks. xD

Edit: And I think Clawtop is better suited for MWs. Flextop seems more like a LW arena to me with the big hole in the middle.

Well we can hope. :D

You might want to change the specifications to "All bots must have at least two wheels", a) because the current rules allow a zero-wheeled HS, and b) because someone might enter a one-wheeled bot that isn't a HS/VS. Also does this count as having two wheels?



Because if it doesn't it'll have to be "All bots must have at least 2 wheels on powered axles".

I'm saying all this now because if the tournament does get accepted later I'll probably forget. :P

omg 10th win good job Joe :o

I still have no idea how it works. It looks like the discs go below the chassis, so the chassis spins instead of the tribar while the tribar just stays there...

LOL at #5 getting 12 votes. And #8 definitely deserved a lot more credit.

Are you able to consider making every match based on points, period? I don't want to see a really bad bot stay in the corner for the whole match while the other three beat the crap out of each other until one is left standing, only to be finished off by the bot that avoided everyone else the entire time...

Can you see other people's IPs? No. And they can't see yours. (unless their name is ACAMS)

I believe Engage isn't getting to credit it deserves.

Now everybody knows who built Engage! :D

On that note, I actually tried replicating Engage (to an extent), but the servo boosting didn't seem to do anything...it wasn't an exact replica, but the components and their setup looked about the same....

I have seen Tempus Fugit recenctly, and he's easy to beat by n00b's bots(Like sparkey98's Knight Owl).

lol that's because humans tend to be better at driving HS than the AI. Also Knight Owl weighs 284.4 kg. :P

That's actually really good, great job. You're a bit overconfident in its abilities, but great nonetheless. I'm wondering if the wheels are a bit low though; doesn't it tip over and lean on the HP Z-tek? Anyway good weapon choice, good chassis, good component setup, and great job overall. Hands down your best bot so far, and definitely tournament viable. Excited to see more improvements like this in the future. I'm hoping the maces are all angled the same way so they'll hit at the same time?

I should name it Insult so I can make a MW upgrade and name that one Injury. :o

It gets under other bots, flips them over with the spinner (while causing lots of damage), and pushes them around while grinding their undersides. It does fairly well in Starcore v4.

1. Ram plates cause damage; can they still be used? (as weapons)
2. Can stuff like battle axes be used as long as it's just for armor?
3. Does all in-game glitches include intentional Havoking bots and the Nasty Pickle glitch?

Here's the fight. I'm the poker Fly Swapper, and madman is the diagonal spinner All Or Nothing.

You might want to redo that, the drive looks like it was wired backward on All or Nothing.

Axiom can't turn. Too bad most builders don't know this rule, that a sideways bot can't turn. Lameeee, but nice build anyway.

#8 is the only other bot with difficult building IMO, so that's my vote.

Axiom...? Is that an entry? :s

Edit: Oh, Axon. I misread it as "#9 is the only other bot with difficult building". :P

Well now that school is over I have some time for random comments! They all look REALLY good though. I'm impressed.

1: Star Quality? lol, that's a random name. xD Seems like it could survive with a Nifty.
2: Should have named it Spiderbot. :o
3: WHOA underweight. It looks like it's good enough already after seeing that shot of Matrix Array though. :P Cool name, too.
4: Props for being the only bot whose builder I can actually guess.
5: That's some funky srimech you got there. So the sledgehammer is for adding weight to the end of the extender? I don't know if that makes it spin faster, but okay...
6: "The offset weight spinning triggers Servo Boosting..." wait wat. Looks weird, for all I know it can't move at all and just gets counted out at the beginning of the match, but I'll take the builder's word on it. I have no idea how it works, so some Battleshots would have been nice.
7: Definitely unique, not much going on in the splash though. Again, Battleshots would have been cool, especially of bots just being grinded on the juggling discs. 
8: It's Tempus Fugit but...not Tempus Fugit? Oh wait HOLY CRAP it has DSA. Looks great! I will forever idolize the builder of this one. My favourite, hands down.
9: It's Tempus Fugit but...not Tempus Fugit again? Just casters instead of a Snowplow. Nothing special, but definitely looks like it could win lots of fights.
10: One Supervolt for two RADs? How long are your matches, 10 minutes? xD I like the pun on "Mobile".
11: Reminds me of Wavelength from Inf AI. Casters make this look pretty good. I've seen lots of these rams with RADs before, I just don't know how they work...are they more closely related to Jugglers or Rammers? Definitely a bot I'd be scared of if I were to face it in a tournament.
12: Love the name, it really fits the bot! RAD drive and high center of gravity makes it look a bit easily flanked though. Ackbar was LOL.
13: I don't know how you managed to flip Sentinel Observer without getting those 140cm extenders ripped off; they look like candy to any HS or even rammer. :P

Can you vote for your own bot? (hint hint)

Anyway #'s 3, 6, 8, 9, and 12 look pretty cool. I have no idea where the AI bots from splash #12 are from though. <_> (I probably should XD)
I hate when people don't put the armour in their splashes though, because I seriously can't figure it out by myself. Most of the time bots with unknown armour tend to have Plastic though, based on my intuition and the fact that they'd probably put it on the splash if it had DSA. (Plastic gives it more of a negative feel)
