-
Oops I knew I forgot a detail, good thing I got a list of names.
-
I can whip up a matching bracket if that helps at all ? I have all the layered images from the splash
-
:D (Do we have a Robo smiley, smile?)
-
the new bracket is linked in post 1
its err... a png right now 900kb.. if it gets to much you may want to drop it back to jpg or gif
-
Everybody, give a hand for JoeBlo!
-
*pulls out sawblade*
why thats very kind of you :D
-
I wonder if that will influence JB in any way.....*looks at Backlash thread*
-
lol I am meant to be most likely to stay on topic :P
.. on topic
I think I have a shot at like 2 people XD
-
@TG: No but we should have one.
Anyways, PREDICTIONS !
Clockwork Beetle 3 - Hopefully it's not one of 123's SnS else he would destroy us all... A solid build, but are these wedges really good with skirts at the end of DSL bars ?
Slip Second: It's far from being a bad bot (And a near clone :P), but i know for a fact that a drive that fast is going to turn horribly (see NAR AI v2's Gigawatt). Can it face it's opponents, or get flanked ? We'll see
Project Mayhem: The weapons look kinda high and 80kg of weapons on a HW isn't a lot. Still not a bad bot, but i can't see it fairing really well.
Double Or Nothing: Surprisingly, there is no GAY flail shell spinner that would rape both of these (Badnik will do it though). Now can they manage to punt away all these NPCF-Techno gutrippers or not ?
Hope No More 4: My top true popup that wedges, sadly, are outdated :( Unlike the previous versions, it has self-righting ability (not very good though), but still it will fair well as long as it's not out-wedged.
TIB4: Solid build. Will go far as long as it's wedge is good.
Fifty/50: Just can't see this having a good wedge. Not the worst, but won't get far.
Corkscrew: Bah! Two piglets as weapon motors on a HW gut-ripper ? If it can keep the opponent on it's wedges it's fine, if not... Can this self-right as well ?
Ravager: An extremely cool bot that once again, depends of it's wedges (though not as much as some others). I can see this being the slowest of the gut-rippers with 2WD NPCF-Hypnos (or it has Technos but i can't see them) but i think it can fair well.
SnSnSnS 2: Bleh... When it will fight Joe's bots it's going to be a yawnfest. Now can it beat all the gut-rippers ? I never really tried it in NAR AI so i can't tell.
RAGE GUITAR !: :fail:
Cirque Des Tueurs: French name ??? Daisy Might ripoff. Can't see it fairing really well with all the gut-rippers in the field.
The Devil's Maul: It's not as good as i expected from someone like Urjak, but it's the faster of all entries and it has potential, especially against the rare HS in the field.
Dragon: Yet another solid, if generic, design. And Yet again, all depends of the wedges.
Assloads of wedges right here - was expecting a few shell spinners (and i would rather have shell rather than gut-rippers since HnM does VERY well against them).
-
Bots I will beat:
JD: Doesn't look that deadly, can probably shove it around and KO it.
JoeBlo: My bot was made for shell spinners and SnSes with its V-shaped weapon array and its fast drive. I dunno about the flamethrowers.
STC: Hopefully the drive is not fast enough on it to gut-rip me and I can outweapon it.
Stagfish: A multibot! but still an epic (https://gametechmods.com/forums/Smileys/gtm/fail.png)
TG: As I said before, my bot is built to beat shell spinners. Will go down the same way as Daisy Might (and thanks to Nicsan, I can fight it myself! XD)
Bots I am unsure about:
123: I might be able to get under it, but if not, I will be owned.
Scrap: The drum is tough, might be able to outweapon it and KO it.
VB: good wedges, might be able to outweapon it though.
Bots I will lose to:
Nary: Its a popup, and I have no underarmor. Nuff said.
Pwn:See Nary.
Sage:See Nary.
Somebody:My bot can't beat the first one, so it definitely won't beat this one if it's as good as the original.
Urjak:See Nary.

I missed a DSL tourney? *Insert Ragetoon Here*

PREDIKSHUNZ
Clockwork Beetle III - One of the two bots I am afraid of, only question is wedges, but they look alright
Split Second - Looks pretty good, but maybe a little too fast
Project Mayhem - Not enough weapons, with an exposed motor to say the least
Double or Nothing - Never seen how effective this really is before, but whenever I try it its pretty Havoky
Hope No More 4 - Already know that I can beat this
TIB4 - A very good looking gut-ripper
Fifty/50 - Question mark on the wedges, and the weapons don't look too sturdy
Corkscrew - Not enough weapon power methinks
Ravager - That polycarb extender looks rather exposed...
SnSnSnSnS 2 - Methinks that I have a good chance
RAGE GUITAR!! - Spinner from the west, spinner from the west, look its another spinner from the west...
Cirque des Tueurs - Unneeded spinner shell plates may be vulnerable
The Devil's Maul - Should be a good gutripper
Dragon - Rather generic, yet effective
I like the number of directional bots (bots that need you to be on the front to work). Fits right to SnSnSnSnS 2's strong point.
-
The wedge was average at the time I build it (when compare with NAR AI 1). Compare that with the small wedge here it will probably be below average. I can only hope for a wedge lock at best here.
-
If only I hadn't BFE'd ReFraction during the signup period :(
HNM 4, TIB 4, Split Second, and SnSnSnSnS 2 all look really good and are my top 4 picks for this tourney.
-
hmmm I might ask TG to pause the game (if its at all possible) on arena start up and it might give my bot less havoks
im am still investigating but I have had double or nothing perfectly havokless once in a match (pop up ripped off a flamethower and everything)

:gawe: Thanks Ounce!
-
Well its a pretty good, if generic, bot.
-
Forgot about this tourney. Dragon isn't going to do well.
-
wow,I forgot about this,fifty/50 won't do well here,wedge kinda sucks and unstableness will be a huge issue.
-
Tommorow (if youtube is permiting) will be the new vids, they will be in no specific order to make it a surprise....:|
-
WTF Youtube is not letting me upload, it says "The Server in your area is experiencing difficulties, please try again later" difficulties......wow.
-
Flickr appears to be accepting video uploads now... I have yet to use it, maybe it is worth a shot?
example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/joepemberton/2463630148/
viewing speeds appear to be very fast.
-
I tried with photobucket before and no matter the audio It wouldnt let any music due to copyrighting (since they own no rights like youtube)
I have a few issues with youtube but what I do is refresh or get to the uploader another way
so if its not working after clicking the big yellow upload I go, my Videos > New > Video Upload and try it that way
it usually works after a couple of refreshers of reloads
-
Any updates?
-
1, if you call the videos, extremly laggy, and have a mysterious white light in the end product, a friend told me it was my laptop limitation, so I have to transfer the files to my desktop.
-
DP, nobody noticed the "secret" part in the discussion topic? Hint: It is used for some better footage in the game.

wat
where?
