BattleBots: Splash, Brackets, and Videos

[freeziez]

As much as I respect the builders, that entire third row of bots is IRL unrealistic if you ask me. Four VS on one bot in real life?

Well, I don't see why not? And SS's there's tons of those, and even though 123's isn't...conventional...it's still realistic.

Four VS on one bot in real life?

It's definitely doable. There's plenty that have two, and there was one Robot Wars Series 2 (or 3) applicant that had three.

[Vertigo]

How can you be sure Vertigo?

Dunno, thought there were only 4 fights XD

It's 2 motors spinning 2 discs each. Like a double Dreadnaught.

S_M vs. Conraa is up.

[Thyrus]

Yup, the rest of round 1 and hopefully more will be out today.

Mike vs. Preytor also up.

Too close...

Wait what? I expected to lose on descison but how did the judges go that far in Conraaa's favour?

OK, I think I'm going to say 9 for Conraaa and 6 for SM. Conraaa attacked slightly more often and did things like shoving SM onto the wall a couple of times, and did decent damge despite having no true weapon. SM atatcked slightly less, and although he did considerably more damage, that's only ebcause he hd true weapons. On the whole it was bulldozed around by Conraaa, hence my points scores.

That was G.K.'s response.

[G.K.]

8-7 is the closest it can be. SKBT had it as really tight, and I felt it was slightly less tight than he did (Although still very close), and Freeziez felt it was slightly less tight than I did.

[Conraaa]

Very nice match S_M. You scared me for a bit. At least my bot can jump the heckraisers well though. I have to admit I was a bit surprised when I saw how much I won by.
Have to ask, why isn't there a loser's bracket Freeziez?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

What exactly is this marked on? 100% aggression?

[G.K.]

TBH, the scoring system makes it look far less close than it was.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

BTW, don't think I'm complaining about the result, I'm just asking about how the matches were judged.

[Vertigo]

No, that's decent judging, I should know :P

[freeziez]

Significant attacks.

Because Battlebots doesn't have a loser's brac-





MOST Battlebots don't have a loser's bracket.

S_M, the scores only seem quite harsh because the judges MUST award 15 points in total, so there's always an odd number of points difference: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so forth. I think it was actually pretty close to what I'd have given.
 
But now's not the time for judging banter. Let's just keep watching the matches from our vantage point in the crowd. =P

[Conraaa]

@Freeziez If we're going under that logic you need Bill Nye speaking crap during each match as Battlebots had that. :P
I think that a loser's bracket would be quite good for this personally.
