I think it was half poor turning, half bad luck in the initial collision. I skimped on the drive pretty badly which is unfortunate for me.

Do you really need HPz drive? And the Y connector feels very wasteful. I think this design would benefit greatly from a plow to protect the motors. You may even be able to replace the razors as well
You can probably save more space by rotating the black 90 degrees as well, makes making a near airtight chassis much easier

I read none of that but I'm gonna assume it was all bollocks. Anyway, at least there's only 1 aidsbots in the wildcard and it's got 0 chance of winning it.

**** GABRIEL, BUILDERS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EVENTS FOR ENTERING THIS BORING ASS sh**E
OK, gonna have to stop you riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight there.
What about Gabriel is boring? Like, seriously? It's a really interesting counter to the average design you see on Robot Wars, the flipper. It's near impossible to effectively flip the thing, thus showing that not every UK bot needs to be a flipper to do well. And it's a massive robot that practically rolls off of every surface imaginable! How is something that mobile in a fight boring? It's not like it put on a wedge and went straight for the pit tyre...
I'm gonna assume that this is just you being unhappy that the spinners didn't take off many (or any) parts in this episode, and that the spinners hit Gabriel so much yet it stayed intact. If you want my personal opinion, it's a tad childish to call a robot boring and then stating that it somehow "offended you".
Anyways, episode; It felt good to see Pulsar rise from the ashes like that; went out in round 1 then reinstated with the odds against it (started out the league rounds with 1 loss already on the board) and then to come back and win the heat. Sadly, I don't see it doing too well in the final episode considering all of the drive issues it had in this episode.
Ironside 3 going out was rather unfortunate, but it certainly fought well. Shame it's srimech didn't quite bring it to it's wheels in time.
Also, nice controversy, judges. Way to bring back the feel of the old series's...s... (that doesn't sound right when describing multiple series... damnit) seasons, I guess?
If only they had some sort of HOUSE ROBOT THAT COULD'VE COUNTED IMMOBILE ROBOTS OUT then there would've been less controversy. However, we all know no such robot like that exists. At all. Ever.
Name 1 time it did damage to another bot
protip: you can't
Name 1 time it threw another bot into the air
protip: you can't
The bottype is a ****ing waste of time and space. It does no damage, it's nearly impossible to damage it without getting a big-ass HS to hit the wheels (And gabriel's wheels were made of bendy plastic so that's out too). It's literally there to be pushed around for 3 minutes and hope the other bot dies out of nowhere or because it drove into a CPZ or something. The bot has LITERALLY no way to make the fight interesting apart from being rekt by a HS, and it's even bad at that.
I'm not saying it's a bad bottype competitively, it does indeed "counter" flippers (tho not really, it can't do anything to them and it's incredibly hard to get an OOTA this year anyway). I'm saying it's basically impossible to have an interesting fight when its not vs a HS, and IMO it s a complete and utter dick move to enter one and a huge **** you to all the spectators and viewers.
The bot isn't not sh** just by virtue of not being a flipper. I could enter a ****ing shopping trolley and it would produce more interesting fights than that thing.
I don't see how you can claim flippers dominate RW when 3/5 bots in the grand final are not flippers, and 3/5 wildcard runners up aren't flippers either.
Finally, I'm actually a flipper fan more than a HS fan. I'm unhappy that the majority of match viewing time was a complete waste of time as may as well be skipped because it involved Gabriel.
Because that was a perfectly reasonable way to respond to someone. Quit being an edgy Goon 2.0 and actually be bloody sensible. I want to feel like I'm talking to someone above the age of 12, please.
"It did no damage" so I guess Beta did no damage too? I guess stinger didn't damage other bots? It clearly dealt internal damage; obviously you haven't seen it fight prior to the 2016 series.
Of course it wouldn't flip anything, you twat. How about we ask why Pulsar didn't pick another robot up and parade it around the arena before dropping it on the flame pit?
And the rest of that post amounts to "I found it boring because nothing was smashed off". Exactly what I thought from a stupidly immature post. That's your description of an interesting fight, is it? You aren't going to take any other aspect such as driving skill into account? Honestly, I can't say anything more in response. Your response is literally that poorly put together; it's just the same point over and over "nothing got smashed off." if you're so interested in these moments, go look at some match highlights; don't watch the full bloomin' episode.
And you tell me that flippers don't dominate? Look at the recent UK champs; a large ****ton of them have been flippers, hence why Gabriel exists. It hardly causes wasted viewing time (especially when you don't give a proper reason for it); as I said, watch some match highlights instead, not the episode that you clearly can't sit through. If anything, you should be annoyed at the spinners for having constant technical issues
Mate if you think those sh**ty taps did dick all I don't know what you're on. Honestly I don't see your argument at all. What in Gabriel do you find entertaining? Name 1 thing? There is no driving skill there at all. None. I would bet good money, I swear to god, that if I replaced the driver with an RPi that send a random command to the controller every X seconds you would literally not be able to tell the difference. Not that you can really appreciate the driving skill of anyone this season with the sub-pa camera work. I suppose you'd enjoy watching a massive solid steel block on casters being rolled into the arena, since it's a HS counter and therefore such an innovative and interesting to watch design. Gabriel and other bots like it do not show skill, technical prowess or displays of power at all, at any point in their matches. Their only purpose is fodder and they're horrendously bad at that. The gabriel team has made me appreciate the Nuts team immensely.

Heeey, Behemoth isn't a flippeeer
Eh, it's more a flipper than a pusher tbh
I think the scoop is too fast to be a lifter. Panic Attack is a lifter. Btw does anyone know what happened to Panic Attack?

**** GABRIEL, BUILDERS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EVENTS FOR ENTERING THIS BORING ASS sh**E Not a fan of this episode, Ironside didn't feel particularly powerful, neither did pulsar except for that 1 hit, along with its super inconsistent drive. Gabriel offended me more than Nuts did and Beast was underwhelming.

I thought Jonzu was some type of semi-sentient cabbage.

A transgender semi-sentient cabbage?

 This is what happens to popup builders. How the hell can you reduce AGODs, it's started happening on literally every bot I make with more than 2 motors on a blur snapper, it's infuriating. It's worse with the drive motors, can't even drive straight.

bretty good
Maybe remove a black and replace it with a pink, try and get some protection for those light extender supports?

I like it, except the ramming rack on the back. Feels a bit tacked on and out of place. Love the rest of the bot.

bots can climb the test garage walls in every mod including stock. LW powerful HS/Shell spinners can be unstable due to the powerful motors but that won't be an issue for this tournament.

I feel like 2 blue snappers are super wasteful for a bot this tight on weight allowances. And you have weight for another razor as-is.
edit: also popups are haram and you should be ashamed
