Nice.
I think I'm going to do poorly because my bot was really only designed for some of the challenges.

Sounds a lot better than my tournament idea.

Agreed the multi-extender idea is cool. Some time ago I actually had the idea to use it on Telescopic Sight, but I couldn't do it without manipulating the skirt hinges thus giving it AIDS AGOD.
For some reason I don't get the other MW.

Well that sucked. I really wanted to fight Terminal Force.

It's nice to see you building again! I don't have much to say about the juggler, unlike the VS. Using Piglet motors for drive is a bad idea; it'd be better to use Astroflights or Slimbodies. To improve on the spinner setup, I suggest decreasing the space between the two motors (by mounting them in front of the chassis or narrowing the chassis). That way you can use a smaller side panel. You could also use a shorter aluminum extender so your weapon would have more reach. Give it those improvements and I'll be happy.

Even though I might not keep the championship title, I highly doubt that I will lose my first fight S_M.

I'm up against R0B0. Cool, but at the same time,  . After seeing Schizoid dominate Wizet, which Tunneler barely managed to beat, I'm not liking my chances.

Hopefully the walls aren’t too low for Magmatic to be tossed out of the arena from the initial charge. Even if they aren’t I don’t see myself being able to hold on to my championship title.
Round 1 Predictions:
Stealth Destroyer 2 over Minimus – Even with a long singular wedge I’m not sure if it’s going to help against a VS like that. That is still one of the coolest looking drums I’ve seen though.
Son of MSHD over Hurricane – Hurricane doesn’t look like it can get that shell up to speed by the time SOMSHD is hammering at it. Still Son of MSHD needs to keep it pinned otherwise it will risk losing its armor and having the vulnerable parts exposed.
Drumbayotch over Flipperization – 36 batteries?!? Still it clearly has the better wedge here, but the flipper is faster so if it can escape the drum then it might be able to get under it and flip it out of the arena.
Dr. Spin II, S.D. over Forgot the Food – Dr. Spin just looks like it has the better wedge, and that’s about it.
2 Vroom or Not to Vroom over BLT (lol @ acronym) – Another battle of the wedges. Vroom’s speed will help it here, but if it’s too fast then I could see it going the other way around.
Renal Calculi over Please Re-Enter Bot Name – Renal Calculi looks to have the better wedge, and even if dual HSs are more stable than single HSs, I can still see PRBN going out of the arena very quickly.
WiLd cUbE: VENGEANCE over Whiplash Recoil – So many wedges... Wild Cube might have the better one, but Whiplash Recoil looks like it has a good wedge as well; it could go either way.
Doom Donker over OverOverkill – Doom Donker just has the better weapons here. If OverOverkill can get underneath its opponent and deal enough damage to the disk, then it can win via immobilization, otherwise the odds are against it.
Crown of Flames over Stiletto Violence – You just HAD to give it a wedge didn’t you JoeBlo. Even if it does have the better wedge, I don’t think it can remain under its opponent long enough for it to tear off its wedge. Crown of Flames just looks like it has a lot of chances to get under its opponent.

Well, that was quite shocking.

Uh, you used the wrong bots. It's supposed to be Blood Raven instead of Green Wave.

On my side things were a different story. Ice Tornado was able to de-weapon Final Z and win by points in most of its matches. I was using both of our bindings.

« on: July 10, 2010, 10:23:01 PM »
What Pwn said, and Ice Tornado is perfectly capable of beating Final Z.

First time a pure flipper would win a tournament as well; if I recall Smashbox 2 had weapons.

I'm surprised at the outcomes of the first and third matches, but everything else went as I expected.
Round 3 Predictions:
Power Surge over ReActive – If a SnS is stable enough, it is virtually capable of beating anything. While I’m not sure about Power Surge’s stability, I think it’s enough to beat ReActive.
What Sheck Spinner? Over Resentful Princess 2 – Anything that out-weapons a flail shell spinner is capable of beating it. That is why WSS? is given its name.
New Ruin over Missile Test – Even with front armor like that, Jonzu’s popup is too slow to get underneath New Ruin and hit its chassis. Then again the smartzone seems far forward, so it might hit New Ruin and upset its balance, then have a shot at the chassis.
Bane X over Guardian Angels – Guardian Angel doesn’t look to have the weapons or speed to gut-rip a powerful shell spinner like this one.
1.8 over Deinonychus – Even though it’s a gut-ripper versus rammer match, I’m not sure if Deinonychus’ weapons can last against those of 1.8; it just needs to avoid hitting them and hit the vulnerable parts instead, but how easily can it do this?
Stanley 2 over Reier’s Avatar 3 – Stanley 2 simply out-weapons RA3; the only chance it has of beating Stanley 2 is if its weapons are low enough to gut-rip it.
Terrible Sight over Predator – The ultimate grudge match. I don’t think the bear claws of Predator can destroy Terrible Sight with its cheap weaponry and armor, but that wedge on Predator might make a difference.
Infection 4 over The Mini Warrior – I don’t doubt Infection 4’s ability to out-wedge its opponent here, but it has a lot of armor, so it could last longer against it than some.
Losers’ Bracket Round 2 predictions:
The Strike of a Ninja over Trigger Happy – I doubt Trigger Happy’s wedge is any good , but who knows.
Star Dust over Claw Cube 3 – Claw Cube 3 has an exposed front and looks prone to being juggled; the ideal opponent for Star Dust.
Moving Violation over Primal Instincts X – Dual wedges beat short, single wedges, but since small wedges make a good wedge choice, it might not be the case here.
Final Z over S Cargo – It’s a classic HS vs. VS match. A shame because S Cargo is one of the few bots in this tournament that could take out that fag popup.
AntonYYYm over Precision Impact – I’m not sure about Precision Impact’s wedge, but if it can’t out-wedge AntonYYYm I don’t think its weapons will deal enough damage before it gets flipped out of the arena.
Bisector over The Telephone Effect – Okay so I was wrong about Reier’s Avatar 3 having an easy-to-hit top plate, but I’m sure that’s not the case with the Telephone Effect. The question is can the Telephone Effect reach critical points in Bisector’s structure, like the chassis or weak extenders, before it gets dealt too much damage?
Blaze Line over Power Surge 3 – Another popup vs. rammer fight, but will PS3’s (lol @ acronym) flexible weaponry save it?
AtaxiA over Zombie Pirate Ninja – Metal hinge wedge vs. skirt hinge wedge, and AtaxiA’s wedge also out reaches its opponent’s. Still though, I’m surprised that it managed to win a round.
Trance Hazard over Blabber-mouth – Trance Hazard has more weaponry, but Blabber-mouth still has a chance because of Trance Hazard’s vulnerable motors.
Minor Launch Platform MK 2 over Minifridge 4 – I don’t think Minfridge will be able to protect its chassis well when it’s havoking, though it might hit the top of MLP2.
Blood Orange over Kurt Rambis – A VS against a rammer, but after seeing Kurt Rambis’ last match I think I’m counting my chickens too soon.
Ice Tornado over Mutant Kabuto – Ice Tornado was built to outweapon flail shell spinners, and it clearly will do so in this next match.
Bot With MOVING Spikes over Elle Driver – I’m leaning toward BWMS as having the better wedge here, but the weapon position of Elle Driver might give it a hard time KOing it.
Death of Angels 2 over All or Nothing – Another unlucky draw for Redline, but I get a feeling AON will be able to cause some damage to DOA before it suffers too much damage itself.
N-Trench over Flux – Flux’s weapons are too brittle even if its opponent’s weapons have normals. I’m not too sure about the stabilizing skirt on the front of N-Trench though.
Sawzal over Hredder 6.6 – Sawzal was able to take out TSOAN which had a similar wedge setup. However, Hredder 6.6 is lower than TSOAN so it might have more trouble with this one.

I would just use a skirt on top instead of a bunch of carbon fiber extenders, unless skirts don't allow it self-right.
Now, can THAT version beat Crosswind?

I'll let you guys believe I look like Gandalf.
Won't work on me; I know what you look like from your youtube videos.

Wow, not even invincible armor could stop the paramecium. I think we have a shot at this.
Ultimate Showdown=win Predictions for the remaining round 1 fights: Il Neige and Il Pleut Beaucoup over Blood Raven and Fake Flipper - Although one of them might be able to take out the popup, things won't go well when you add the HS into the equation. Green Wave and Brain Washer 2 over Blizzard and Arcade - The teams are very similar, but one of the HSs uses maces, which will be able to take out the other HS if the popups are put out of commission.

I started the splash yesterday, i'll probabley finish it later.
Nice to hear. Hopefully Starcore and I will go far (I still can't believe I managed to team up with him!).

5mm plastic > 3mm tite
I don't know how many batteries you have in there now, but try adding a battery and see if it makes a difference.
