B4ttlebots - Signups

[GoldenFox93]

Besides, flippers in enclosed arenas suck, Naryar. You even said so yourself, so there would be no incentive to use them.

I reckon Judge Bursts should be allowed, but in moderation. One Judge Burst is easily enough to lift a Middleweight, so there's no need to do what GRW did in RW3 and have THREE Judge Bursts on a Middleweight. That would just be absurdly overpowered. One Judge Burst for LW and MW, two for the HW and SHW divisions. I reckon that seems reasonable.

Agree with this.

it always takes someone else to fix my mistakes

I'll add that in.

(edit): fixed.

Perfect- that's what I imagined it being like. I didn't want people spamming them, but utilising one or two to produce good, yet realistic, flippers.

Good. So, is this ready for signups NFX-or-someone-else-who-is-more-respected-than-me-that-knows-about-rules-and-regulations-and-when-to-move-to-signups?

That's the bother, though, you're always going to get disagreement on a decision, the Judge Burst one has raged on for a while. The standard DSL burst motors - as GF93 has said - aren't terribly powerful, in fairness, and it is difficult to implement a decent one without a large and bulky chassis, much like with Taur IV. Taur 2 was, in my mind,  a better robot aesthetics-wise, but it was let down by its complete inability to flip anything. Once I replaced the Small JX with a Judge Burst, it was a much better machine. Though I don't necessarily want people spamming them to make a ridiculously overpowered flipper, that wouldn't be realistic at all. If you take a look at Vertigo's Explosion, that's a prime candidate for a Judge Burst flipper. But it would only need the one to get its kick.
 
And yes, I would be fine with moving this to signups. No point in delaying it by one day just so I can get my dad's 50th birthday party out of the way.

Just realized I can't do this myself. How do I move it?

[Badnik96]

Ask GK or ACAMS.

Also these better not fill while I'm away tomorrow.

[MassimoV]

Will probably use Metal Shredder again.... and his younger siblings.

[G.K.]

I've got to go out for a few hours, confirm the rules then.

I'll have a look and move it over to signups if it's all ok when I get back.

[FOTEPX]

Oh yeah. You bet your young donkey I'm entering the LW, MW and HW divisions.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

OK, got a LW, MW and HW ready. Time for a nice SHW!

[ty4er]

aw i only have a lw and mw to use

[Squirrel_Monkey]

No Trov glitch? D:
There goes those bots....
No cheatbot2 at all? D:
There goes that other bot....
OK, got a MW ready then.

[RpJk]

I'll go back to DSL for this. Maybe one LW and MW to bulid.
