This one is a recreation of the og. Complete with: a bigass chassis, wide replica components, and the angled panel side supports. It also is powered by a 6mag for the weapon and 2 excruciatingly slow tmr3w's for drive. I promise the next bot won't be yet another purple nurple probably. I just have to skin a plow for it (which is turning out to be much more difficult than originally expected) and it will be complete.
really good fights so far. looking forward to seeing how far ollister's unconventional flipper will go in the later rounds. also hype for both of my bots in next ep.
Best Driver: The former chap was not messing around with his driving. Lightning effectively used the hazards in all of his fights while minimizing the amount that his bot interacted with them.
Best Design: Exactly Lethal holds up to it's name. The narrow and excessively long design ensures that no matter where you attack you're always being met with the weapon.
Innovative Design: Out of all the bots in the field, St manticore puzzled me the most. Reier's design created a very odd situation where the very common tactic of strafing around the opponent became useless. A bold move that could not be exploited to its full potential due to the number of single long wedged bots.
Best Newcomer: Yeah, Nightraven's got this one.
Best Moment: I may be biased but when 09's shell fell off I was simultaneously shocked and relieved. Certainly my highlight.
I know a handful of tournaments use the RW2016 and Robogames arenas but I was wondering what else you guys thought was balanced and if these arenas that are used the most are fair themselves
by fair/ balanced I mean gives an equal chance of winning via oota or straight up ko so that one bot type doesn't dominate
