B4ttlebots: Splash, Brackets, and Videos

It's too late to go back with the HW, but if the SHW has the same problem, just remove the flamethrowers. It sucks losing to a physics glitch.

[Badnik96]

Oh boy, a havok-prone bot as my SHW opponent. Woo.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Bots that do well:
Drums due to weapon weight.
Hammer HSs due to weapon weight.
Some VSs due to weapon weight.

IRL just boils down to 60% weapon weight IMO. with maybe 30% down to speed and pushing power and 10% down to shape and design.
I think we should make up some more guidelines (not rules but generally accepted concepts) that hosts should try to stick to.


In other news, my match vs NFX went exactly as expected.

No, the SHW doesn't have the problem. If the flamethrowers break, the flipper still works.

[ty4er]

wedged drumbots :C

i still need to watch the other vids, brb

[freeziez]

First two SHW matches up.

Wow.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Wait a minute.
Firstly how did Ounce get away with all those weapons.
Secondly, Scrap's SHW is not legal.

[Conraaa]

Well, that went badly.
Now all my hopes rest upon No More Mister Nice Guy. No pressure. :P

[GoldenFox93]

Wow, I beat DSC? I was sure he was going to beat me! That front wedge on Pyromancer was far more resistant than I thought it would be. Good match though, mate   
 
So I've got The Ounce, next? He's hardy, but has no wedge. If I can keep him trapped whilst I blast away at him, I could be in with a chance.

This is possibly my worst tournament. Ever.

[GoldenFox93]

This is possibly my worst tournament. Ever.

Been a bit of a mixed bag for me, so far. Good in the fact that I've won at least one match with both my robots (and got a good draw against The Ounce), but bad in the fact that I lost to oversized hinge wedges that probably wouldn't be practical IRL.

Yeah, that must stung a bit. Still game on the challenge? And why didn't you enter it this time? =P

But noone has found my deliberate mistake

[NFX]

Everyone has a bad run sooner or later. It's not so bad if you get them early on, because that gives your room to improve with your designs. I think I always seem to encounter a bit of bad luck in most tournaments, like with Watch Your Step! getting positioned side-on between two spikes, thus being unable to escape immobility, despite being perfectly functional. It happens to everyone at some point, there's no need to be too down about it.

Besides, there's still the Awards thread for you to take something from the tournament. =D

Me? What did I do apart from be a probable SFTW? =P

Rather- just the fact that I couldn't fight NFX because of it that made it quite annoying, really. But say, if Freezie is doing any grudge matches, I'll take you both on

Hey, why not? 

[FOTEPX]

I'm sorry, but IMO, I lost the MW and SHW unfairly.

I lost my LW match in unlucky circumstances, deal with it =P

Sounds like a plan- we could have a bit of a spar, and I could also show the Scotsman what I'm capable of

Which bot would you use? War<expletive> if it's MW?
