BattleBots 2015 Discussion

[helloface]

Carrollton School. They're the all-girls' team that was mentioned in that ABC interview a month or so ago. They've been making robots for a few years now so I figured it would be them.

pyramid of quotes

I tried to be extremely specific about how Razer looks putting all those adjectives before 'crusher' to try to distinguish every other crusher from razer while still trying to describe the drawing of chomp (a bot that I've never heard of and therefor can only go off of the beautiful drawing rendered in 1080p that was there)

Essentially, I was trying to say "How many other bots look like that drawing?"

Saying "The bot in the drawing (Chomp) looks like that bot in the drawing" doesn't help you at all. I guess instead of wedge-y I should've said 'cone-shaped', because while all or most of those robots have a wedge, very barely any of them are cone-shaped in the way that razer is.

Cone shape? You mean a 3 sided wedge? like the one Tiberius, Little Nipper, ect have?

Let's get a weeee bit serious for a second...

I'm only adding to the list because you're not giving a legit valid reason for saying whatever it was looks like Razer. If you said that to the owner who built it, you'd get smacked in the face. People don't like being told that the robot they've spent months of hard work into designing, looks like a mild rip off from another robot. Some people take it good humour, others have tried very hard in the design phase to avoid such comments and take events.

If you're literally only basing your original statement off the drawing then you've phrased said post better.

And no-one is bashing, not that I'm aware of, I cannot speak for anyone else but I couldn't care less, just don't want you getting smacked at an event or getting verbal abuse for not phrasing your statements better.

Assuming all the promos are round 1? I'd hope they were at least.

Picture of Plan X pulled from an ad. Also a picture of Wrecks, and a minibot that I'm probably attributing to Plan X, since there was no mention of it from Wrecks' interview.

Also, new robot pictures from the fastcompany article.

Complete Control


Ghost Raptor

Anyone got an idea of what this is? I haven't seen it in any promos but it showed up briefly in a YT video that was put up about 20 minutes ago.

[Jarvis_Rapture]

That's Swamp Thing, basically Great Pumpkin minus the pumpkin plus a tail

[SKBT]
