Shame about the stat modifications as they could've been tournament legal, but I'm sure they'll come in useful anyway.
Good to see you around again by the way :)

As SHIELD says, free-rotating axles are a solution to that issue - it's a heavy solution and won't be as fast as motors on everything, but with a good set of motors powering 2 wheels it'll do okay. I feel like the design (and this solution) would work well in Ironforge as single motors on their own can be crazily fast.

You have until I have time to check the mailbox this evening, could be anything as little as 8-10 hours. You have quite literally had months to enter :P

Reach looks a little dodgy. How fast does it spin on those motors? I imagine the weight slows them down a fair amount, but I could be wrong. Also you could totally shrink dat chassis :P good to see people doing something different though.

Stalk some recent showcases for a while, I'm pretty sure some nightmare-y bots have been made fairly recently that you could take ideas from :)

I'd think that if there was any drive here you'd just drop the name "robot arena" and make your own game. I mean comon, unity (for example) has a straight up tutorial on how to setup a physics sandbox.
Heck they even released the source code for space engineers which gets you construction, multiplayer, and physics, all you need is to tweak the physics for your purposes. Its a lot of talk.
Hey there, TDS, good to see you around. You may be interested to see this if you hadn't before. Pretty much exactly what you described is being worked on by Sic, and it looks real good :)

As previously mentioned in here, they didn't compete. Unfortunately, Beta was unable to get working once again for this tournament. Really sucks.
Yeah. From what I've heard, there was a speed controller problem or some such. Really really sucks.
RE Beta:
American Airlines lost their custom weapon controllers ain't no point in fighting Tombstone without a weapon.
oh my god this was amazing! I'm a little sad tho that beta didn't compete again, does anyone know why I only saw DID NOT COMPETE on the bbs wiki?
they couldn't get their weapon working (controllers were lost in transit) and had to pull out
All of the robots got put on that list whether they were in, dropped out or alternates. Hence Beta being there, as well as stuff like Chronic/Bulldog

so apparently chris got permabanned for sending a joke pm to helloface
Is he really? How'd you even know anyway?
He said so in Skype lol
I sent a message to Trov asking him to not take it seriously since we were in the same call when it happened and I knew he was doing it
Andy: 3 months.
090901: PERMABAN!
Seems legit.
Nice source on your 'PERMABAN!'. Chris isn't permabanned. The situation will probably be resolved very quickly. Now if we can all chill out and not take shots at the staff that'd be awesome <3

Sure it is going towards IRL... it's unrealistic but irl. Is this a new thing ?
Sounds like the first days of Stock to me.

The middle one is indeed cool. The VS looks off to me though, I think it's the tribars.

To me Warhead seemed weaker than last time on BB.
Robots have come along way since Warhead was last on Battlebots, and I heard they basically didn't update it at all.
I believe they did update it, but yeah, robots have come a long way. In a world where most competitors either follow the Razer design rule (design the robot around the weapon - see Last Rites/Tombstone, Brutality) or the exact counter to that (fancy wedges - see Bite Force et al), a bot that spends a load of it's weight on aesthetics and not the weapon or the survivability is pretty much doomed in my opinion. Warhead is, in a sense, this season's Snake or Mechadon, as is Plan X

I guess something we learned here is that what worked 10-15 years ago doesn't work anymore.
Exactly this. Things have changed. It's the same as people saying (co-incidentally) Razer should come back, when it'd frankly be outclassed in terms of force now.
