I'm going to join the fray from S_M's house, using his old computer.

A lot better. The only problem with the spikes, imo, is that they're too long. That's one thing I think IF lacks - a really short spike like the Lightning spike or Carrot. If you can find some way round that it'd look real nice.

You make a valid point, Kill. And the extenders are fun, I meant it. Certainly in this instance not much can be gained from lightening the extender setup, assuming, Kurt, you want to keep the width of the motors? That said, though, what weight is the bot on atm?

If you were to rebuild this I'd consider making that first extender that comes off the S-II just a 20cm. You would then have the HPZ's protected better from other HS and side hammers - they'd be both partially in the chassis and in the drive Z-Teks. While it's not ideal to have the motors exposed you don't have much choice, and having more than one motor in a similar place, with the wheel and plow about too, will mean more things are there to take hits. It's like the process of segmenting wedge extenders.

At the same time, though you wouldn't lose out in the reach department - the plow would still be the same distance in front of the HPZ, that wouldn't change.

Looks good. Is it likely to be able to right itself?

Also have you been folloing your BTTB performance

YAY! A win for tactics! Really enjoyed watching Bite Force progress through this competition smartly.

Good fight. I'd probably give it to Bite Force but too close to call

Wish they'd shown us the bit where Overhaul stopped - unless my stream's just jumpy. Enjoyed the hit on Shaman.

Not going to predict the final, just going to enjoy it

Nice way to end it - jamming the screws. Bite Force really well driven

Expected the result tbh - but my, Tombstone really hurt itself at the end there?

DROWN IN TEA is just a wedge and doesn't flip as it uses blue snappers
Toto Africa doesn't rupt (honestly a normal flipper is better than a rupter anyways)
S_M sent an AI line with Popup.py for Fork-U
Adam and Eve doesn't have air and spins slow so it doesn't trinity that crazily and is controllable
The sword on STAR WARS is for weapon motor protection I assume

Thoughts/Analysis:

Britbongs

TFW No School Shootings - Should hopefully be decent but the steep wedge and no armour concerns me.
DROWN IN TEA - Does it flip?
Ed Miliband's Juicy Forehead - <333, maybe could beat Badnik idk?
TESCO MOORHEAD - uh
Toto Africa - 'hopes it rupts'
Free Healthcare - Really nice. Should beat most of Amerifats.
Fork-U - What .py does this use? I sure hope it's flipper. I see those extenders getting knocked off easily
SUL - Terrible, terrible but fun bot.

Conclusion - We should have taken this more seriously.

Amerifats

360NOSCOPE - HS/SnS = yuck. Here's to popups taking it out. Good bot though.
Adam and Eve etc... - Very good, my pick to win outright. When did trinity become standardly accepted in stock?
STAR WARS - lol what's that sword for? Good VS though, hope I outwedge it.
mfw tea act - Popup is this? Should eat most of our team right up.
Cheezeburger Revolution - I've made similar bots (In fact I had one entered till I changed). Will be good if its centre of gravity is not too high.
HOT DOG PIZZA - Deadly. Will get minced by SnS in its team when Amerifats win but should basically beat all of us, except maybe wakkydude if we're really lucky.
BOSTON WHEEL PARTY - lolwut
Big Business - I really hope my wedge is shallow enough. Decent HS.

Conclusion - If they don't win I'd be amazed.
