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)

DP: I filmed the next round.

What did people think of these last few matches?

Predictable.

Even Craaig vs GF93?

I was suprised with my match and craaig vs GF, but I found the rest quite predictable :P

Also, as I accidently filmed that round in the Winner's Bracket arena, the next round of the WB is in the LB arena.

Speaking of the LB, its bracket is updated.

Pretty much, considering I always lose in Stock BTTB

The randomizer seems to like certain matchups a lot.

Seems that way.

Anyway, could I possibly get a Grudge Match with Craaig at the end of the series?

Craaigs already got one againts me :P

Bleh. So now I can't prove that his win was more or less a fluke?

G.K. · « **Reply #314 on:** January 15, 2011, 08:56:16 AM »

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.

Still, I'm glad you liked the bot. Maybe I'll make an improved version at some point.

NFX · « **Reply #316 on:** January 15, 2011, 09:14:46 AM »

It was a good bot, GF93. Maybe just a difficult type to make effective.

I feel reasonably confident about the next couple of rounds. =)

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

losers bracket normally slots in with a formula not random so you dont get duplicate match ups until later if they won more matches against others

I always randomise my losers brackets.
