BattleBots: Season 2

[ashman12]

When will this qualifer vote thing happen?

When we've got the entries in, doofus   

I thought the tournaments had to be accepted first, or has this one already been accepted?

Ah, I was referring to the one for the entries themselves.

[SteveM4]

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

Ahem...

Non-Havok OOTA on Battlebox.

[Natef]

Ah, didn't know.


If you want to send me a copy of your skin i can maybe plaster a few onto it if you like?

I can send you the bot.

[Enigm@]

Ahem...

Non-Havok OOTA on Battlebox.

Still wouldn't be realistic.

[SteveM4]

Why not realistic?

[Vertigo]

I prefer Thyrus's system, remember you can only have 16 entries though

[Enigm@]

Why not realistic?

Robot passing through an enclosed arena with a top = MEGADERP

[SteveM4]

It went over the top.

It has very high walls, but a good flip can send a bot over them.

[R1885]

It went over the top.

There's a crowd on the other side.

[Enigm@]

It went over the top.

Ah. But in real life it had a ceiling if I recall.

[SteveM4]

>>R1946

Well then they get hurt, don't they.

>>Enigma

Not in The Game.
Besides, probably a one off.

Ah. But in real life it had a ceiling if I recall.

True, however, I recall an incident where Nightmare broke a tooth, which then hit the ceiling and knocked a wrench(iirc) into the audience, and iirc, the tooth ended up either partially or completely out of the box, so it's within the realm of reason that a sufficient impact force would allow a bot to exit the roof of the arena. In RA2 land, the high wall could effectively simulate the difficulty of throwing a real bot through the real roof.

Possibly, but we're just talking in assumptions right now. Assumptions that go beyond RA2 and into the realm of real life. So unless we could sufficient evidence that it could happen in real life, we're just speaking assumptions.

[SteveM4]

Why does it matter?

Its not like I can replicate it in MW

Although I did flip SS out 3 consecutive times with Havok 18 (the one with 3 betas)

Again, this is why speaking in assumptions gets you little to nowhere.

[SteveM4]

When did I assume something?

WHAT HAVE I MISSED?

[Hard Bot]

I found a loop-hole- you can make a bot with loads of weapons and can be complex. There should be a restriction on that.

[SKBT]

Any robot can technically be DQ'd by any of the judges or the tourney host.

Yes.
