I bet you we will have about 1 or 2 flame wars while he is gone.


I bet one of these will be like when he entered into the forums...

Mad, no need to worry about probabilities.

The only thing to worry about is the arena.

It favors really fast bots, allowing for an immediate rush, unlike BBEANS4 that favored spinners (especially horizontal), and the ironic thing is that there was very few horizontal spinners in BBEANS, and few fast bots in RAW. If I count well, there's only PSI, InfCon and Lu-Tze as fast bots (all 4WD). All the others are have either a decent speed (Mako 4, obZen) or really slow (yours, BLAH)

IMO, in this arena, the good setup is: a fast and wedgy bot (including low ground clearance), stable enough, with light but gut-ripping weapons. Psi and InfCon are the two better suited IMO (although I haven't seen Psi's speed). Lu-Tze is good too but will fall prey to a better wedged bot. You know what will happen to the other bot especially if he's a heavily weaponed bot like BLAH.

______

But the strange thing is: how the heck can Blah could one-hit-destroy your weapon, that is a disc protected by several spinning hammers at a nice speed? Oh, wait, that's perhaps like Speed King VS Classy Paintjob, the angular speed wasn't fast enough?

*yawns*

I was expecting much more from InfCon VS Lu-Tze.

BTW Sage, InfCon did lose a round because he fell on it's back, and lost stupidly in a corner by immobility- but this happens to me also.

_________

BUT, because there is always a but, BLAH VS Daisy Might was AWESOME. Especially when Blah ripped off the shell: the shell didn't moved at all and that was Daisy Might who was thorwn.

Wow. HazCon just had it's best fight. Awesome match, especially for the air time.

RRG sure is a fearsome opponent. I never thought he'll gave me so much trouble. But HazCon has an awesome fighting spirit -and luck this time- and better wedges. And he avoided the nearly OOTA's. All of them.

I LOVED the third round, especially HazCon running into the wall and making some acrobatics.

_________

Ok, now... Sage? As I guessed he won VS Scrap Daddy.

These look like Layziee's ones, ground clearance must be nearly the same, there's NO way HazCon can lose!

And if Enfilad3 can bypass DOAM's wedges, I have my chance.

Damaging yourself? LOL.
No, if a hazard damages yourself, or the ground damages you (after some air time), it isn't counted in points.

Use anti-ballasts only on the bot lab, and be sure to remove them prior testing/fighting with your bot in.

The über-havok that makes your bot fly is just because the game can't stand negative weight components.

I won't rely too much on my armor plates i I were you Somebody.

Especially that the front of your chassis, under the steel wedges and over the large titanium plate, is exposed to a popup. And plastic armor.

Round 2 predictions!

Clickbeetle VS Philetbabe: Favorite: Click.GBS may be a powerful poker, but he just faces a powerful and well armored hammer. And again, like his little bro, GoodBye Blue Sky will lose because of lack of top/bottom defense, despite being better than BrasOuvert. Perhaps not to Click, because that poker is powerful and he could perhaps keep Epic Flailure at safe range.

Dragonfire VS Somebody: Favorite: Dragonfire. Seeing how Archimandrite went under Thor, a popup that won against obZen isn't going to lose that easily.

SSG vs Condor33: Favorite: SSG.: Sure, the HumDrums raped T O R Q U E in the previous match, but T O R Q U E had just offense for strength. Smoker's Revenge has wedges, better defense, and these "small" spinners that will spin up seriously faster than T O R Q U E's one, and some decent defense. Nevertheless, the Humdy Bros will give some trouble to Smoker's Revenge.

Inf vs SD: Favorite: None. This is gonna be like Iron Spaghetti VS a faster Layziee. Although Psi's speed will help him greatly in that arena, Steel Meatball is very powerful. Either Psi will get under SM easily and KO it, either he won't do it easily and the flails will ripp off all his weapons.

Goose has red boxes, do those mean negative points?


If you put your mouse pointer above the red boxes it says "Goose is infamous around these parts" so yeah that must be negative points.

and i must agree that red will suit me better. :icon_twisted:

The thing you need is the GMF tool compiler/uncompiler... search the downloads page or the Beetlebros site.

By the way, it is the bot file you need to edit, and AAM is chea... hmm you must know that.

Well Giga used DSA... And even 1mm Plastic is WAY better than DSA in DSL.

Sage was right... we underestimate the HumDrums. At that speed, i'm going to lose if i face them.

Yay. Simply that I am pretty much overloaded with work (university life) and my robot building will be somewhat slow.

I think I'll be finished with them (or most of them) by next weekend.

What does that mean?
I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not...


No, that was lousy humor to say that Archimandrite did some real kickass acrobatics, and even it dodged/deflected most of Thor's attacks like that !

Sometimes damage done is not the same as damage put into the score... especially when you have huge hits. Look at that 11000 hit by Slamboni in the ThreeFourInfinity Chronicles, the scoreboard doesn't displays the same number and I bet that was the first hit.

But often there's no big difference.

Hmm
I don't need to see it flipping the car to see that it's a good flipper, and wedges are definitely good, as the ground clearance.

BUT:

-perhaps 50% of the chassis is empty space. if you lower the height of that robot you will be able to self right easily.
-you don't need that much armor. try titanium instead. best armor is titanium.
-slightly underpowered, i would add another black batt.
-add several weapons like CE. IMO static weapons are great in any bot.

I think i will give a try on T3h Boxer, Walrus, BOT-CHOY and Stingray.

need to practice my rammer building skills, and pokers too.

That was a HW? Oh snap that's right.

I was planning to make him a pusher hybrid, not a rammer hybrid, so i just put 2WD.

I'd get it painted right and will change the extenders to red ones, and send it to you Inf.

Do you still need to put the blue snowplows on Raptor?
