This is the VS that I made, although I have revised it. Instead of the Cold Fusion Reactor [Lu-tze parts] I switched to 4 of the 20 pound black batteries, and I put a skirt hinge on the back tail for sloped levels.

Back from holidays, i've seen that Bras Ouvert (which mean 'Open arms') has won the first round.
Well, smoker is a very aggressive, fast bot with light structure (much like a cheetah). On the other side, Bras Ouvert is a slow over-armed bot but only in a defensive concept (much like a porcupine). Time plays for it : when i've tested it, it always wins (when it wins) by cutting its opponent weapons than slowly affecting the core. In this context, Smoker was an ideal opponent for Bras Ouvert.
Against No Name #12 it will be harder. NN#12 has a good balance between protection and attack power. My hope for Bras Ouvert is that NN#12 often land between the wide opened hammer of BO, and thus slowly lost its weapon... this is not done yet! so I really can't predict the result.
BO is also quite inffective against VS or any vertical attack but very good against HS.
About its wide wheels : they are made to protect the motors and allow the bot to be invertible . the weapon attached to the wheels are here to give a light protection to the wheels (make them less reachable).

Back too.

OK i wasnt expecting my bot to RAPE that flipper.

Well i have to thank Rejected for the design and CB for the drive and wedge setups (same as SlashBack)

______________

Dang. Red Tide is going to be a very tough opponent for my bot. Well same as before, the better wedge wins.

Hasn't Cooker been gone too?

Naryar · « **Reply #67 on:** August 30, 2008, 08:31:49 AM »

Sadly, we're only two Frenchies to compete.

Well my favorite (other than mine) five bots in this tourney are:

System Flailure - I love the originality of Click's tournament entries. And the name too. That weapon's just awesome. Too bad this is unstable.

Ham-mer Sandwich - Now this is a hammer. Powerful- very. Decent defense. Good wedges. Not too slow. These plastic extenders aren't that vulnerable.

Enfilad 3 - A really great popup. Did heavy damage in the first round. Nice defense.

No Name 12 - "Juggernaut" is a good analogy for that bot. I don't want to fight against that spear. Too bad it is that slow.

Slasher - Cool-looking, and that drum looks dangerous. Neat wedges.

My 5 Favorites (In no particular order)
Hazardous Contraption
T-4
Red Tide VI
Haymaker
DOAM

Naryar · « **Reply #69 on:** August 30, 2008, 08:59:16 AM »

I don't know why everybody feared that T4... This wedge doesn't looks that efficient and he has more ground clearance that HazCon.

Somebody · « **Reply #70 on:** August 30, 2008, 09:07:51 AM »

If it can get under you, then you are screwed though, because it is a MW in an arena with low walls with a Beta motor on it.

Naryar · « **Reply #71 on:** August 30, 2008, 09:15:57 AM »

Yeah, but look at that weak armor... it sounded like plastic.

well it should win it's next match, in the loser's bracket.

Urjak · « **Reply #72 on:** August 30, 2008, 10:27:04 AM »

My favorite bots:

Psyco Sweeper :D

Haymaker, I like how it has a very small chassis but powerful motors and weapons.

Eniflad, Nice wedge and like how titanium sheets are laid out to make a perfect wedge.

Iron Spagetti (sorry Scrap Daddy if name is spelled wrong), one of the only shell spinners, and I love the name :)

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #73 on:** August 30, 2008, 02:34:40 PM »

I rebuilt Thumper yesterday, and it turned out MUCH better than the version I entered in this competition... I used a stronger motor and I made the hammers lighter.

Round 2 is up now, along with tournament rankings. Check the links on the first page of this thread.

Overall I think the fights were better this round, though there was nothing as surprising as Diarrhea Of A Madman vs. Ripterra. That's not to say you'll be able to predict who wins, though...

Sage · « **Reply #75 on:** August 31, 2008, 08:39:23 PM »

yay. tied for first.

Sorrow · « **Reply #76 on:** August 31, 2008, 09:02:38 PM »

Well, dip me in soup and call me a cracker, I won.

EDIT: Oh, BALLS. I have to fight DOAM?!

Urjak · « **Reply #77 on:** August 31, 2008, 09:25:35 PM »

Well dip me in mud and fling me over the wall, I lost.

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #78 on:** August 31, 2008, 09:32:31 PM »

Holy crap I won...

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #79 on:** August 31, 2008, 09:35:02 PM »

Since I mentioned that I upgraded it, how much better does this look:

The main upgrade is that I used a motor that was twice as strong as the one I am using in the version I entered in this tournament.
