I don't see why people keep complaining about badniks bot. there have been others that used the blades and they were legal at the time.

I'm guessing it's a balancing issue. There were parts that allowed during BB7 like the Beta Hammer, and because the runner up used them for weapons, it caused a pretty big arguement resulting in MassimoV banning them.

This and everything to do with this.

Badnik was pulled up as an example because of how he used them, like spamming them.

yeah, but just because some bots used them in too big proportions means everyone can go BLOOP theirselves, then again as the one who caused the Beta Hammer to be banned, i guess i should shut the crap up and blast my head with a gun...

It's because we all know he just did it to win, people have been complaining about hworf blades for like the past 2 tournaments now.

yet still only badnik gets bashed for it. everyone could have used them but didn't.
just be glad they are banned now and stop complaining

I've always been against the OP weapons, like the hworf blade, but sometimes they look good and can work when you need a light-weight weapon after using the rest of the weight on aesthetics. Hworf blades can be used correctly and they're fine in moderation on mws and hws, but putting 3 on a lightweight is ridiculous.

I wouldn't just bash solely Badnik for blatant disregard for the spirit of IRL, but he clearly slapped some OP weapons on a fast motor and put an unimaginative chassis around it and won. That just sucks.

of course it sucks but people should complain before the tourney not midway through or when it's over.
The host could ban them then or at least nerv them.
Title: Re: Battlebots X Awards
Post by: cephalopod on May 14, 2015, 02:02:08 PM
There have been complaints about Hworf blades all the way back to this time last year with BB9.

Moros was built for BB7 with the hope that it'd be absurd enough to get them banned.

if i was spamming them i'd have added a fourth instead of using that weight to add some decorative beaters.

I didn't like doing what I did. In fact I felt bad when initially testing it, but I decided it was time for someone to actually beat Moros. Plus it finally did get them banned, which is another plus.

I'm making a whole new team for BB11 or whatever chris is calling it so yeah have fun with those

To be fair (you can count this if you want MassimoV, I doubt I'll be voting in anything otherwise) I'd be voting that for that award.

i literally explained my reasoning for entering it, and immediately after playzooki posts that singular award. hard to call it coincidence.

Alternate World's Smallest Violin Award(this will NOT count as voting):

Break the targets: Final destination: this is seriously close to breath of fury bad to me, not only I do want no overpowered bots in tournaments but I only want cool bots.(after all, IRL is about cool bot designs, not a tourney full of overpowered bots)

Reason for Mr AS mw: that name is way too long, plus a bot with sound effects, why!?

I know its not about winning, its just entering a tourney with neat and cool stuff.
