Yeeessss LNH is out of the arena- oh no, this isn't going to end like I think it will- damn it. 090901 sure knew what he was doing when naming that bot, because it's really that

Car Steering? Also that many batteries needed for it? and I think having 2 150cm extenders make the side hammers slow, at least for me they gave the DDT's trouble fully moving back on vertical hammers.
Other than that likinig it and the wheel skins, would want a hug from it.

Wen, you got trolled bro :P
 Not only did I win without using wedges, I have also sent a message about stiltbots. Good game Wen.
Message about Stiltbots? Congratulations on making HS the ultimate meta.
Also how stable did it run during testing? I'm worrying a bit that the pistons cause it to get flipped over.

Oops yeah I forgot about the web series they also had..
Yes I meant when Samantha, Chis and Kenny talk about this screen before passing over to Faruq
(Image removed from quote.)
That seemed to be cut a lot in post production
Yeah, I guess only people who were there live got to see it(didn't know it was called the same as the web series), basically there were 3 types of matches, ones that did have the stat display, ones that only had the match and the ones that only had the highlights. Also was this version of Complete Control having a spinner killer wedge on the back?

the damage part is normal, as for bots driving backwards, I've mentioned that in a different thread, there's another arena that has no AI and crashes a few seconds after that, someone uploaded a fixed events.txt for that, freestyle events still crash however.

I don't particularly agree with allowing RO7 break. I doubt it would even do much, plus it feels like cheating.
It just removes one stupid game limit and it's allowed almost everywhere nowadays, you don't really get that many new designs or gamebreaking stuff from it and it just helps with certain IRL builds and other component placements.

Wow, amazing work for a newcomer.

The commentators don't seem to have an idea on what's going on.
Kenny actually did surprise me with what he said during the matches. I think it's unfair to say that. That other guy doesn't, tho.
And I have mentioned that the active weapons rifle has to be changed.
Always hated the active weapons rifle 
For me, they did know stuff surprisingly well(minus not knowing about the rule change) until the last episode. I wish they kept the moderator(who's now only doing interviews after battle) from Season 1.

I don't get what your problem seems to be. Yes the judges decissions in some fights were questionable especally looking at chomp here. But I don't see how battlebots is going to be like series 7 of Robot Wars.
Oh and even though I disliked Chomps way of winning I must say it is a well build bot. Zoey has to improve the stability of it but it took damage so well. looking at the fights with Capt. Shredderator and Yeti it didn't seem to recive alot of external damage. get rid of the flamethrower and improve the stability and maybe the power of the axe and you're good to go.
They were talking down some bots, Biteforce being the best example, then we have the ones that get overhyped, see Warhead and Tombstone, "enough of this talk, who wants to see a battle" there were other moments as well but I can't remember them currently. Also it's not the judges decision but the rules that's messing that stuff up. Chomp was extremely solid, it did have more stability because it was going to use magnets, but the floor change in the Battlebox messed it up, just like Beta, so they had to reduce the axe power, it can be even stronger.

R01 what's the stuff you took?
Could ask the same question to you, or did you only watch the battles? Chomp won the Founder's Award. In other news I was completely wrong about who would get awards.
This is their description of the founder's award in their own words.
It's a recognition that may vary in how it's earned from year to year, but it is for bringing an exemplary bot that does interesting things and pushes the sport in the direction in which the founders hope BattleBots will grow.
Very deserving, in my opinion.
Chomp out of all things? Seriously? Maybe has to do with the AI that did the hammer hits, but without that I'm sure there would've been other bots that could've got that.

WHO. WILL. WIN.
Edit:
Mike, man. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did fantastic, especially since losing so sadly to Complete Control like that, and getting the wildcard rightfully, and actually making it to the final. That's incredible. 2nd place is usually the first loser. But luckily for you, you're the last loser, and that's just as good as winning, because you were the last to fall at the hurdle Congratulations, man!
Exactly, he did a very well job on it, shame that the Blade thing didn't work but I always thought it was a risky strategy because there was almost no defense, they got lucky with Cobalt and by the time they noticed their wheels being shredded it was too late, still had enough to get one late hit in and damage one of Bombshell's drive pods.
The VS was amazing, the Hammer of Bombshell didn't look too strong but the VS man, such a great weapon and surprising upset against Minotaur, also great way to finish Poison Arrow.
Ray's here on GTM as well?
Anyone else think that the weapon choice for Bombshell, in the final, was absolutely stupid? Even if the VS took too much damage and was out of commission for the final, surely the hammer would have done better than the HS. If I were them, the HS weapon would have been the very last thing I would've considering attaching. Anyone know the reasoning behind the weapon choice?
Would've much preferred if Biteforce or Beta were the champs, or at least got to the finals but, at least a GTMer got the finals :P
You probably already got the answer, but their plan(just like with Cobalt before they changed their strategy of stopping Bombshell's Blade) was to cut the weapon motor chain and disable the weapon that way, it was just off a tiny little bit.
After some hours of sleep I was able to watch this and wow what a show!
Mike: really well done! I would have never thought that Bombshell would get that far. I knew from the promo pictures that you would beat poisen arrow but I did not expect it to be in such an awesome fasion. Also you are the one that has beaten freaking minotaur! congratulations (and thank you) for this. I was hoping the hs would do the same thing to Tombstone it did to cobalt but hey you got second place in freaking Battlebots!
Ray: I was always rooting against Tombstone but it's because it's such a good machine. same thing for minotaur. You totally deserve this trophy and the right to be called champion! Well done to you. Now that that's over: Black Ice and Escape Velocity? :D Why was Brutus the first real opponent for Tombstone?
Season 2 was such a great thing to see. it improved on everything except the constant air time. please abc give this show more love. I can not wait for season 3 with ray mike and yeti with actuall spare parts!
PS: This moment in the rumble where witch doctor was tossed from Biteforce onto Wrecks and then send flying out.. poor thing. Love for Witch Doctor
Can't say that at all, Season 2 is going into the direction of Series 7 Robot Wars, sure talk up Tombstone even more and call Biteforce a bad bot because it lost it's weapon and had one burnt out motor. And then there's the rule change... Tombstone got number 1 seed(they should've given that to Biteforce even if it had a new design) which means your first and maybe second battle will be easy ones due to the way how seeding works.
yeti vs chomp was probably my favorite match of the episode, lots of back and forth action
Anyone else think that the weapon choice for Bombshell, in the final, was absolutely stupid? Even if the VS took too much damage and was out of commission for the final, surely the hammer would have done better than the HS.

Would've much preferred if Biteforce or Beta were the champs, or at least got to the finals but, at least a GTMer got the finals :P
the HS was about level with the biggest weak spot on tombstones weapon, the chain area which had just showed weakness the last fight.
Liked it as well, really wanted Yeti to rip that hammer off because I don't like Chomp's view on the new rules and them getting that far(ok, it's the producer's fault that they changed the floor like that which made the design worse) but a bot that's doing a Magikarp, falling over that much and spending most of it's time on the side shouldn't get that far. Yeti was friendly and didn't attack them more after they were getting counted out. Was a great final
Quaterfinals:
Yeti vs Chomp; not surprised by the winner Chomp flailing around like normal like a fish out of water held up well, I wanted chomp to get ripped to bits the hits that chomp did looked ineffective.
Beta vs Tombstone; This was a great match sad about beta losing but once its weapon got knocked out it was always up against it feel like beta would of had trouble against yeti if it would of gotten through.
Bombshell vs poison arrow; my fav match id probably have to say fantastic driving by mike I didn't expect Bombshell to take it and with a neat out of the arena.
Minotaur vs Bronco; Looked like bronco was having real issues flipping at full strength as when it got under and did flip it was more of a small lift and 6 from 6 wheels gone not bad expected minotaur to win.
Semifinal:
Bombshell vs Minotaur; this was an upset but I wanted Bombshell to win and after some of the side panels got ripped off and a wheel my hopes started to go down but after a few successful hits from Bombshell that took one of the drives out from Minotaur and another either bent the chassis enough to stop Minotaur getting traction and immobilising it, Bombshell the winner.
Yeti vs Tombstone; bit of a dull match unfortunately was clear who won it just from the opening damage done to the wheels, then Tombstones weapon broke but yeti couldnt use theres as the drum was touching/bouncing then just came to a small pushing match, Tombstone the winner.
Three way melee; was a fun match nice to see that wrecks did some damage shaman got friendly fired by witch doctor and bite force actually worked pretty damn well.
Final:
Tombstone vs Bombshell; wanted Bombshell to win hoping it would get the lucky hit in but it didnt but expected Tombstone to win as it did.
If Beta met Yeti then they would've been in trouble because of the lifting arms(but it would be a hard choice for yeti, armor or arms. There were actually two Bronco bots, one with the wedge setup mounted(and apparently a weaker flipper for some reason, probably to not jump too much) and one without it/wheelguards. Yeti's weapon was disabled in that match, that's why they couldn't use it after that. Man this series has been amazing and the final episode didnt disappoint, Dare I say... the best televised robot combat season ever
On another note before I get onto the episode.. Warhead was actually insanely closer to beating Minotaur then I thought with that first hit! Rubber belt was only inches away.
Beta can tank damage quite amazingly, its a shame the shape kind of feeds opponents into the weapon system
I honestly have no idea what Bronco was doing? all the hype over the solid rear wedge and then you attack Minotaur of all robots head on??
Not that it mattered because Bombshell! Mike where the hell were you hiding this thing all competition!.. just quietly humming through the heats and then went into Berserk mode for the final episode.. I thought Bombshell v Poison Arrow was going to be close.. not that Poison Arrow was going to become a frisbee, then to topple Minotaur too was amazing!
The HS attachment was always going to be high risk, high reward but damn those VS attachment fights were cool.
Think Minotaur had a second belt, in one fight you can see it being ripped off but the drum kept going. Bronco needed to attack them head on, just using the wedge wouldn't have worked, but definitely should've removed the rear wedge and add wheelguards instead.
Bombshell was amazing.
Okay I found a way to watch. Time to do this.
Wait what? Tombstone beating a bot in a pushing match? What is this?
What the flipping hell?! This is probably the most damage Bite Force done in the whole tournament! Also, lol Out of the Arena hit by Wrecks. That self-righting move by Bite Force is flawed though. What if its weapon breaks from the maneuver?
Well, Bombshell made it this far. It had pulled a lot of clever wins and took out two of the deadly spinners in this tournament. They had accomplished a lot. To think a fellow fanboy make it this far brings a tear to my eye.
Oh and the return of Ray Billings' "You want more?"
Congrats Tombstone for winning the tourney! Congrats Bombshell for giving us good fights and making it all the way!
Biteforce is supposed to selfright via Gyro forces, just like Minotaur would, guess the weapon wasn't working properly or the front wedges were heavy? Ray was friendly to the other Roboteers, however, because of the rule change I found the judges decisions to be kinda obvious.

JoeBlo-Mud Runner (Hammer)
Its terribly inefficient.. but dammit im going to keep mud tyres on this thing!
That's the spirit! Keeping most of the original bot is a nice detail. Who knows maybe it helps with the bot running inverted? this is gonna be the most hammers in a tournament ever
And I got Wide Load with a WIIIIIDDDEEEEEEEE chassis, oh great.

Sad that the rotation wasn't possible, would otherwise be a very nice looking bot.

090901's bot vs the joke bot of this tournament, 0:29 video and carnival music, yeah, that will be chaos.
The SNS?! reminds me of a drone, the piston bot launched itself out and LNH got a bit lucky with the flip(if you have the bot almost over your flipper it's easier to flip because RA2physics)
Nice grab and destroy by the iceberg twins, they use popup.py AI from what I've seen.

1.) Wen, minus that one motor clip it doesn't even use RA2 CF which is a bit disappointing. 2.) Probably still a MW but doesn't look too interesting/like something that would work too well and I wouldn't want to see that all the time on the front page. Again, no CF used. Oh and I didn't even mention the message, nope. 3.) bigger(especially longer) version of child's play with a piston, also somewhat retro showcase picture. 4.) It's... alright? I can see some creativity with the splash but once again not much going on with CF, also doubt it would do good in combat. 5.) Inside drive, battery and extender spam. 6.) Welp, take the free win. Skid steering is nice if you can get it working, wonder how well it does on that bot. Mnb you lied when you said when we had great entries here  should've done a bot as well.

No silly Tangi is the little sister Orange Avenger is the big brother who is entering it
That was why I put the :P since almost everyone would knew about it.

If its stock MW then you already know who I'm going to enter and if you don't here's a clue it's big has eight Razors and is fruit themed.
Tangerine Avenger? :P I'd suggest limiting the ballast to 2 for the LWs in this tournament.
I was thinking about that with IF, but it's best to not do any sudden changes I guess.

Oh, you're running a 64 bit system like most people, check C:\program files(x86)\ then(did you install it via the CD or downloaded it from here?)
