not quite shure if I want to enter. I have a title to loose :P
I can make use of the price? (aka place in the tourney even though the signups are filled?)

You and Mike have an automatic spot.

Indeed- once I'm in there, it'll be like 1945 all over again

Nah, I have built 3 flippers for this now. 1 Beta flipper, a 4bsg rear hinge and a 3bsg front hinge (prototype in showcase)

The Beta flipper does not resemble a Havok bot in any way. (The Havok line of bots stopped ages ago)

You do realize this is going to be an ENCLOSED arena right ?

Flip em against spikes and into that large hammer thing. Its judged like RW was, kinda, not by points.

If it were points, I'd enter a HS that I built a few days ago.

Also, aluminium skirts cause minuscule damage.

It's 93, not 32, mate XD

Ah Fox, we meet again... Hi

I already have a concept of the bot im going to use, just need to get some testing done and see if it's any good.

>>GF27
Whatever!

Also, just adapted the 4bsg bot to be a mega powerful popup!

Fear my 4 razors of doom!

KM, are you just pressing 2 random numbers after the GF yes?

Can you explain your judging system in more detail? The link you provided uses a 33-point system whereas you use a 45-point. I'm assuming that's because you'll be doing an equal-weight Damage, Aggression, and Strategy. In which case, what is the criteria for strategy, it's not covered in the RFL guidelines?

You earned my respect, I shall enter.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 12, 2011, 01:05:51 PM »

>>Ashman58
Yes, yes I am.

Also, how does a 45 point system even work?

Natef · « **Reply #34 on:** July 12, 2011, 01:08:55 PM »

I need to just get a decal on my bot.

I don't have RA2 anymore, though

I'm assuming that it's the system they used in Battlebots - up to 5 points apiece for damage, aggression, and strategy using the zero-sum formula for awarding points. However, we have not been given a solid definition of what consistutes "strategy."

SteveM4 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 12, 2011, 01:12:59 PM »

If strategy means flinging a bot against the arena wall at 30mph, I have this sorted.

The 3bsg front-hinged flipper can OOTA from the middle of the DSL arena easy.

Worked for me.
Well, for one match at least.

Realistic Enough?

SKBT · « **Reply #39 on:** July 12, 2011, 01:18:15 PM »

I defined strategy as which robot controlled the flow of the fight more and which one's attacks were more affective.
