Either case, it should be real fun.
PREDICTIONS FOR LOSERS BRACKET

A.C. Vs T-800
Way too close to call. Its hard to see who will beat the other

Surgic Vs T.H.

Surgic's match with R4 shows that its not good with other pop-ups, but in the case with Trojan, it should get under to that nice, meaty underside, but Trojan has gone much farther than most expected, and the match can go any way.

This will be awesome. Can't wait too see the showdown of the final eight.

After T-800 Terminator lost it's first round against Surgical Strike I kinda figured I was out of sync on my design and that T-800 was behind the curve and not competitive.

Each round it has gotten closer and closer to climbing out of the Loser's Bracket.

I do not think that T-800 will get a chance to have a revenge match with Surgical Strike.

I really didn't think T-800 would get past Bumble Bee. I had little hope of T-800 surviving long enough for the Flippers to come into play and as we saw, T-800 was just as vulnerable to being flipped out of the arena that deep into the match.

Absolute Chaos is a great design and though there is a small chance that T-800 Terminator will get past him we saw how close it was between T-800 and Death Dealer. It will be even harder for T-800 to get in and thump on Absolute Chaos's smaller chassis.

I look forward with bated breath to the next few rounds.

Thanks for running these matches Click!

T800 vs AC is way close to call, even in my own testing.

Right now I think R4 will win the tournament, but these videos are really good right now so hopefully the high quality will keep up.

Agreed, as much as i rather dislike popups... I think R4 will take it all as well.

Shhhhhhh... don't say anything yet guys, you might jinx me :P

Plus, I have some stiff competition still. MikeNCR built a good bot. It's got quite a bit to hurt you with, and Trov and Firebeetle are two great builders, so I just don't know how good their bots really are. I think I can beat Trojan Horse and I've already beat SurgicalStrike, but T-800 and AC are both still in the mix too. I haven't beaten any of the pre-tourney favourites yet, so let's just sit back and enjoy the ride...

I just saw a black cat run over R4... Ohhhhhh, that can't be good.

Can I face the winner..? Please? Just a little exhibition match.

You can do that when the AI is released.

Winner's bracket quarterfinals, and round 8 loser's bracket is up!

Sorry, no 5-star matches this time, or even 4-star. But the pure excitement of being down to the final 8 bots makes up for it.

Also, I was quite surprised by some of the results. Not at all what I was expecting.

Shadow Tyrant, I think I have a chance at seeing Inf in the losers finals part one.

R1885 · « **Reply #631 on:** August 01, 2009, 03:56:31 PM »

I'M STILL IN!
Btw, who's my next opponent?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #632 on:** August 01, 2009, 04:00:20 PM »

Shadow Tyrant.

R1885 · « **Reply #633 on:** August 01, 2009, 04:01:21 PM »

Hmm, three pop-ups in a row. I hope I have the better wedge.

Good match, Mike. Things would've been different if I didn't keep hammering your weapons though! xD

AC next... R4's designed to take out bots like AC, but if it goes anything like the match with CI, I'm in trouble.

EDIT: Also, lookee what I found:

This bot is not a noob,
definitely not a boob...*
Sorry Alterer of Reality, i know you are new to RA2, but i couldn't resist to this joke, and im ROFLing right now...

Can you say "irony?'

Heh, he even states fow ItI kills him.

When he comes back, I'm sooooo rubbing it in.

Ranked in the 10s. I didn't expect that (I didn't expect KOing SS too). :O

Great match. :D

Oh well, predictions time again!

S13 over CI - It worked against AC, why not?
R4 over AC - I dunno what went wrong with R4's match against CI. The 4WD should've been fast enough for the razors to reach the motors. Oh well, R0B0 did say it was meant to take out AC.
SS over ST - I can't predict much about this. Most likely a coin toss, though the ramplate overkill on ST might hamper its wedginess.

Starcore · « **Reply #637 on:** August 02, 2009, 08:37:22 PM »

Well it was a good run and T-800 Terminator got further then I thought it would after it lost its first match. Was exciting to see if it could climb out of the Loser's Bracket. Absolute Chaos did great!

As I am sure many here do, I did keep working on making T-800 Terminator better after the match started and will be inserting the improved version into the Starcore V4 Pack.

Centered and pulled the wheels in for better protection. Traded the front Razor Tips for increased rear Caster Armor protection that also tips the Ramplates down in front for better response to Pop-ups. And finally came up with a better (in my opinion) arrangement for the Ram Plates to better catch and break opponent weapons.

The T-800 Terminator is crushed. Timed to make a new better more deadly terminator...

except the right wheel AGODed....

Starcore · « **Reply #639 on:** August 03, 2009, 02:20:29 AM »

Is visual side effect of angling the drive motor off the Snapper at a slight angle to balance for rightsideup and upsidedown invertible driving. Drives straight and turns smoothly. But the motors do pulse up/down a touch since attached at angle to the Snapper. Is a case of AGOD that does not AGOD.
