Golly, you're a positive lot :PBut on the other hand, SOD looks awesome with Black Ploughs :beer:
I think I might win my match but stock isvery unpredictable.Quoted for truth. My wedges are decent, but sometimes, the whole robot tends to shake as the weapon spins. If I can prevent it from doing that up to the point where SOD gets under Scrap's entry, I might be able to squeak by.
I don't know If I'm gonna make it past the first round.But even still, it's nice to see some new blood in a tournament :beer:
XD I didn't just spam bear claws! Vast amount of formulas and equations went into positioning each individual claw in the most perfect position possible! O.k maybe I did just give up and spammed the bear claws, but they're hard to place I tellz ya :P

Yeah right.
Anyways, I sent my bot.
I made the video, but it's so long I didn't fit all my round 1 predictions in the 15 minute slot (Thanks confusing showcase >_<)

Just for your reference, FOTEPX, they are the legal 140cm extenders that weigh 5kg. So there is method in my apparent madness. =DClick and the Ounce? Ouch. I know how it feels, considering I've got Naryar and Scrap Daddy to fight.
I'm against Click in Round 1...I do hope I don't get thrown OOTA on an initial rush. Even if I win round 1, I've got Ounce in Round 2, and that's going to be very tricky.
Ouch. I know how it feels, considering I've got Naryar and Scrap Daddy to fight.
I'll laugh heartily, and then I'll see what happens next :rolleyes:Ouch. I know how it feels, considering I've got Naryar and Scrap Daddy to fight.
What if Picnic beats Nary?
Ouch. I know how it feels, considering I've got Naryar and Scrap Daddy to fight.
What if Picnic beats Nary?
But even still, it'll be interesting to see what happens.Ouch. I know how it feels, considering I've got Naryar and Scrap Daddy to fight.
What if Picnic beats Nary?
Can he even beat me ? I mean my bot's not very good, but it's a gut-ripper against a fail complex HS.
I actually somehow agree with Ty4er beating RedAce, even though Ty has the SFTW.
My predictionz:I wish :rolleyes:

Meh. :P
I wasn't sure about the Sage one. It could go either way.In which case, it's an interesting choice, rooting for the underdogs. But then again, that's who I'm supporting as well- If I'm going to make those predictions come true, I'll need the Raging Frenchman out of the way ;)
And how has no-one said anything about my PA vs. Nary prediction?

And get gut-ripped to death ?But even still, with RADs powering the outermost spinners, I do have to wonder how strong the Rabiiid Bit Pull's bite is.
You see these 380+ kgs on a Z-tek ? You know how SLOWLY that will spin ? Therefore, no sweeping power, and as such I'm fast enough to get under him and gut-rip him to death.

But then again, you do know a bit more on Spinning and turning things to Snow in your clutch than he does :gawe:And get gut-ripped to death ?

I'm sorry Nary. I don't know as much as you.

Suppose there's a chance of the last event happening. I mean, US vs UK was a prime example :laughingAnd get gut-ripped to death ?But even still, with RADs powering the outermost spinners, I do have to wonder how strong the Rabiiid Bit Pull's bite is.
You see these 380+ kgs on a Z-tek ? You know how SLOWLY that will spin ? Therefore, no sweeping power, and as such I'm fast enough to get under him and gut-rip him to death.
So ? Even if they get ripped off, I still have the 2 innermost spinners, that probably can gut-rip better.
The main problem here is if my bot gets his wedges ripped off before it gets under that complex spinner.
Or some completely unforseen event that will get rid of my bot in a ridiculous way, like what happened before :ermm:
Didn't have time to tweak wedges (or test at all) so don't expect anything for me.

Meh. :P
I don't see any flamethrowers on Vertigo's bot...
Your bot is quite good, it's just that I reckon the luck of the draw wasn't on your side this time.Suppose there is that. Scrap Daddy followed by Naryar...I'll come down GK's chimney for it later :gunz:
The first vid is up.No it isn't, it hasn't been published yet :P

Why to NFX?!?
Derp, I was looking at the top instead of the bottom of the bracket, so I thought he was fighting. Sorry.Why to NFX?!?

@GF93 - I feel sooooo much better now. :PWell, it was more of a snarky punchline to your statement than actual encouragement, to be fair :gawe:
GO STILETTO!!!Si, Barone :approve:
<3 Joey's entry.
For once.
I'm quite surprised that Vertigo won!
This is going to confuse the heck out of me...
:D
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?:D
STAGFISH AND HIS OVERLY USEFUL POSTS.
8/9 predictions correct so far :DYou sure you're not happy because I lost? :/
8/9 predictions correct so far :DYou sure you're not happy because I lost? :/
In which case, that's OK :P8/9 predictions correct so far :DYou sure you're not happy because I lost? :/
But you can still win the tourney. :P
Scrap vs. GF93 was AWESOME. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, but especially in the first round. If these fights were rated, that would be 5 stars right there.
It should be ok now.Still uploading...
I believe the multibot elimination rule was altered for Extreme II and Series 7.Actually, they'd changed it when they realised that Typhoon Twins was competing in the Middleweight Tourney. After that, they changed it back in Series 7- that's why Black and Blue went out after one of them went into the pit, yet Typhoon Twins got away with it in the MWs.
What did you guys think of these last 3 matches?
Predos for next round anyone?

Extra Info: It's not.
:confused:
:confused:
Yeah, and you told me about the blade normals being backwards.:confused:
In your stock showcase, when you were complaining about how it was impossible to make a decent blade HS. You posted battleshots of Sushi Instructor losing to SFTW and everything.
Just pointing out that seems to have been a rather inaccurate assessment.
Also, I am less than three Stealth DESTROYA.

Less than 3 minutes? :P
Hmm, publishing. But it appears Craaig is winning from the screenshot. =DWhoop de doo. Still publishing for me.
Deleted eh :PWould appear so.
GF93 vs Craaig was rejected D:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eieOoUUl9RY#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eieOoUUl9RY#ws)
DP: It's been blacklisted. D:<Blacklisted? What does that mean?
Don't get so histrionic.I'm trying not to be, but it's a bit much when you lose in the same way four times in one tourney in ways that could've possibly been avoided.
BTTB3 CONCLUSION:
In spite of some flaws in the robot's design making costly mistakes, it wasn't bad for my first Stock Drum robot. It could at least hold its own against Scrap and Craaig (proving quite effective in ripping off wedges on long extenders in the process), and besides, there's still the awards to come up. So yes, not bad, but not good either.
(IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY IMO: Stronger wedges, higher turning speed, and weaponry needs to stick out more)
Even Craaig vs GF93?Pretty much, considering I always lose in Stock BTTB :rolleyes:
The randomizer seems to like certain matchups a lot.Seems that way.
Craaigs already got one againts me :PBleh. So now I can't prove that his win was more or less a fluke? :ermm:
No, unfotunately, against him, I'd say yours was the fluke. Shame, I liked the bot.Although to be fair, it wasn't so much a fluke in the fact that its weapon was designed to do that to extender-mounted wedges (IE. Trapping them under the drum and tearing them off), and once I did get him, I think it did prove some of what SOD is capable of.
It was a good bot, GF93. Maybe just a difficult type to make effective.That's good to hear. Although to be fair, it was the first Stock Drum I've ever made, so all things considered, it was flawed, but decent in its own right, like you say :D

If it is a randomiser, that might explain why I faced R0B0 twice in three rounds last time out.
Nah, no grudge matches, I'd rather go straight into bttb 4. You can use the bttb 3 ai pack when it comes out to your heart's content.Ah, that's a shame. Still, at least the AI pack gives me an opportunity to improve SOD, before challenging BLT again, hopefully being able to chew it up with an even more powerful machine :approve:

Have I made myself perfectly clear ?
I lose in a stupid way to a lucky smegger, as per usual.
OK, maybe I was a bit harsh. Good matches though, and well done on winning your first Stock Tourney battle :beer:I lose in a stupid way to a lucky smegger, as per usual.
Cheers for that dude... 'bout time I got lucky to be honest. *points to my lovely bunch of awards down there*
First match I've ever actually won in a Stock tourney. Woohoo, etc.
Well, I always considered the bot who won that to be my favourite for the tourney.My my, Pwn, Sage...
Shame we can't fight Explosion and Shich Kabot IRL, suppose this will have to do...
I am against PWNATOR ? FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK
LOL ty4er vs. RedAce AGAINWHAT
See, if SKBT hadn't beaten me this would have been your opportunity to get one up on me xDYes :rage
Scrap vs Ounce is up.Erm, you've filmed Ounce vs Yoda :confused:
And so is Vert vs SKBTNooooo...
Neither did I.
And you'll be even more disapointed with this:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
watch the vid.Each won one match
I'll post the nest round once I've made the SkAI High Robokillase.:D
Doubtless Ounce will have reclaimed his top spot. =PMainly since I wasn't able to prevent it this year like I did last year :rolleyes:
Stop drowning my hope :PDoubtless Ounce will have reclaimed his top spot. =PMainly since I wasn't able to prevent it this year like I did last year :rolleyes:
Here are the rankings over the three BTTB's (Formula is Wins/(Losses+4)):
No, I don't agree with it.So last place is 32nd out of 42 entrants?
@ SM: Yes, so what?Just is a bit weird, someone could be the 13th best yet can say "I am 12th best in BTTB"
@ GF93: 8th? You were 16th before this.Sorry, I must've been mistaken for something else. I'll change it promptly.
@ SM: Yes, so what?
I didn't Eliminate or Immobilise anyone, I don't think.
Before the awards thread is even up as well :P
It's myself, Nar, SKBT and J24 in the rumble. I think Nar may be my biggest threat, I can't hit much of his chassis. But he can't do much to mine. =DSo it's more or less even, then?
*puts bet on BTTB 27 by this time next year* :PActually, I think Mentorn will have probably tried to fix it by Series 7 :rolleyes:
