Well, here we are, BTTB 4 signups. I need 27 people, technically 32 but SB is garunteed a place, Ounce 2 places (If they want them), I will enter, and Picnic's told me of his entering intentions, to post the fact they want to participate (Though I may do a wildcard/expand the bracket). Once the entrants are full or we reach February 10th, I will assign each member another's first showcased Stock bot which they must rebuild as DSL HW's. Then, on February 28th, I will close the signups stage, with an allowance of 4 days if it is really needed, so make sure your bot is in by then!
Here are your instructions, builders: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5857.msg300637.html#msg300637 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5857.msg300637.html#msg300637)

Do you even have a showcase ?
Read the rules again, they are explicit enough.

Please use your brain before we categorize you as a noob. kthx.
-
*sigh*
sorry i'm such a noob but how do i sigh up? :ermm:
Just say you wish to enter.
have you read the rules already?
Also it might help to see earlier BTTB's to know how it all works.
-
I'm In, I counted 27 so far :o
-
Holy Guacamole....
2-3 places left depending on how many entries Ounce wants.
-
DP: I know what I'll do. I'm gonna only let ounce have 1 place, but He'll have a reserved spot in my next tourney, Tandem.
Also, there'll be a wildcard for the last place, possibly.
-
If there's any more places, I'm in... Filled fast o.o
-
2 Spots left, not counting a wildcard.
-
GAAAAAAH
Got here, just in time, count me in aswell.
-
Welcome aboard.

The last place is still open. I'll be part of the wildcard.

Right, I wait for Jonzu, Click and Doom to reply. Anyone else, hurry up!

I'm in!

For the wildcard.

Muhahahah... I found a picture of Robo's first stock bot. :evilsmile:
edit: (Showcased stock bot that is...)
-
First ever, or first on GTM's? Because my first GTM's bot was a 36HS :P

first ever :3

First ever. A bot named "Monster"... but seeing that Badnik chimed in too. This is not new news apparently. :P
-
Pic?
-
Pic?
It's a bit blurry because it is a thumbnail from his original showcase back in the "wizforums" days. Tried to find better pic, but didn't have any luck.

any detail when there there was mounted on the disc?

No idea. We are going to have to ask Mr. Sh4rk.
-
Redbirds with chewblades, with an HPZ powering the whole setup. The two green snappers on the back acted as a srimech.
-
Thanks kindly.
-
Whaat? I missed this?
God, I hate being ill...
-
There's still the wildcard!
-
OK, I'll enter as a wildcard then...
-
Doom's in.
Just waiting for Click now.
If anyone in the main bracket pulls out, the first people to register for the wildcard will take their place. Then I'll work out a format for said wildcard depending on how many people are left.
-
Well, I'm certainly looking forward to it! Hopefully this time, I won't get something I'm not so good at building :rolleyes:
-
We can all hope, yet I forsee you'll end up with Picnic's bot or something. :P
-
Even still, I'll see what I could do with a design.
Heck, if it was Picnics, I'd definitely be theming it to a Pic-a-Nic basket :P
-
Well, I'm certainly looking forward to it! Hopefully this time, I won't get something I'm not so good at building :rolleyes:
Maybe you should just build moar.

Might be a point. I hadn't had much practise in building Stock drums at the time, so SOD was the first one I'd built for the purpose of fighting. It did slightly better than expected in BTTB3 though, so I might rebuild it if I have the time.

A multi-spiked Poker, eh? Hopefully I can make something out of it.
EDIT: Also, having seen the original Atomic, I might have started to get some ideas.
-
Might I stand a chance here? Really?

Pfft... a HS/VS/FS...
:ermm:

No HS in there.

Yes there is..
In tha middle with 3 irons on it

Damn, when G.K. hinted I had a complex chewblade spinner, I built a VS...

Pretend you didn't see it. :P

Yay for popups!

PM-Bombed MartyMidget with a screenshot of Windmill.
Edit: Also... can somebody reference a page that explains Scrap Daddy cheating for me? Thanks!
-
Thanks for that JD :D
Doom, I built the block from heck as a drum in DSL, as it was my initial intention for it in the first place. :P
Gl! :D

Could you give me a link to craaig's showcase?

Yay, I get something simple for once! I will get to work!

So many popups.... O.O
And no flail SnS or undercutting HS... bah. Wedge war it is!

Wedge War? So be it...I'll have to build a poker that can also break wedges.

I have to build a rammer? A MULTIBOT rammer?

You can threaten bribe him to showcase a 1st bot that suits your building desires. :gawe:
Also, I built my bot already. Might showcase it later for some feedback. It's decent but (traditionally) has some flaws.
-
My bot is in the exchange now G.K. as Popit.

Gotta build a popup?

What is cheating Scrap Daddy style mean
-
Groudon...
GK posted an example picture a few comments ago. Check that out. Some voodoo with beaterbars and hexplate mumbojumbo.
-
so a wedged vs thing?
What requirements must i do to keep it similar? (i was thinking 4 discs and stuff)
-

4 discs is preferable but 2 would be ok, just maintain a similar wedge setup.
Gotta build a popup?

I'd rather a normal but true if you really want to.
Fereez and Massimov are now in, Imma go over them now.
-
lol I got like the easiest bot to build
-
Massimov is in. Freez's bot was unrealistic.
-
i should start my game at some point i guess.
-
Does it have to be a popup or can it be true?
May I ask what's the difference between both?
Popup fires forwards (what you usually see) true popup fires upwards (like a flipper) technically the normal one should be a popdown, but w/e

I'll build my entry tonight or tomorrow, depending on when I have time.
-
Sent my update.
-
Massimov is in. Freez's bot was unrealistic.
Ohhhh, yeah.
-
Don't worry about me G.K., I'll just sit this one out. DSL HW is probably my least favorite class to build in right now. Otherwise I would have made sure to check the forum earlier to see when signups opened. If there were still open spots I might give it a go, but as it is I'm sure the other people (and you) want in more than I do. ;)
-
Aw Click, I love your bots no matter what class. I believe in you *cheesy*.
-

Reminds me, it might help if I could see your Stock bot...
-
It's total crap. The drive is servo motors. I only made it for your sake. Just go ahead and make a VS sawbot. I'll give you a name....uh....Death. Sorry but I can't find the screenshots folder.

ehehe my first bot could probably still be competitive today.
also i plan to have a 10 piglet FS

**** YEAH !!
I will try to build today. I must eat and go to univ, i have some ecology class quite soon.
-
I built mine, but I know it's gonna lose in the first round, so there's no point in asking for any advice, considering my showcase is as dead as a dodo and nobody will give a crap anyway.
-
busy on my rebuild on NFX's Altinude. =]
-
Flipper VS?
Grrr, well, victory is probably out of my grasp (especially with all the wedges gonna be in this) but this should be fun atleast XD
-
i hope so. i think i can actually do well here. PMed Altifood to GK. (note: more then half of the name of the bot is missing in this post)
-
I need to iron out minor issues and tweak it a little (Bah, wedges.But how else is an angled FS to be effective against popups?) Then I'll send.
-
RA2 crashed and ate my Popup. :(
-
I built something but it's probably bad. Will showcase quickly.
-
RA2 crashed and ate my Popup. :(
make replica of it, using your memory as a picture.
and it wasn't RA2 that ate your popup.
-
cba
-
built an unstable prototype. I haz an idea on how to fix it though.
-
Normal popup. Simple enough, I suppose.

I now have my final entry. Wedges pwn. I'm winning this time >=D

-
Alright. I shall build my entry in a few minutes and send it.

Picnic, Hydro, Badnik, Freez, PR, Massimov and Enigma are all AI'd.

Well geez I know I'm gonna lose and I entered.

i normally lose about everything, just enter for the fun on it. don't go all crawling away scared when you think you might not stand a chance against 4 or 5 bots.

Theres always the chance that they just look scary, and arent that brill. Or you get really lucky (See 2 vroom :P)
-
Which is my favourite BTTB entry to date.
-
Got a prototype up and running. Working title is "As If I Give Two Sh!ts", just checking that floats with the censors. ;P

I might have had an idea for my entry :D

-
I don't know, you're the host. =P
I'll get it sent to you once I've done a bit more testing, just to see how its wedges are. Mines always seem to be crap for some reason.
-
I'm getting bored soo i shall upload my bot
-
Well, FOTEPX's place in the main bracket is now taken by Gazea.
-
Put me against something without a srimech!
-
no
-
Aw... ;)
-
Not getting much feedback in my showcase for my bot. (must mean it is perfect :gawe: )
I will try to skin it soon... my laptop broke so god forbid I might actually have to learn how to use GIMP now. Will sent it to you soon GK.
-
Awesome, thanks.
-
I've got the prototype for my entry up and running. Just need to sort out the weapons and skin, then I'll send it.
-
Front page has been updated.
-
Schweet. Looking forward to seeing how well I do here. =) At least I stand a fairly good chance over my Golden compadre.
-
NFX, you're in with a great chance from what I can see so far.
-
And i have no chance :gawe:
-
I haven't got your bot.
-
Well i did upload it...
and im just saying that i doubt i can win much from what i have seen :gawe:
-
Didn't realise you uploaded it, thanks.
-
i think i may stand i chance here.
-
Just uploaded. Not AI'ed.
-
Schweet. Looking forward to seeing how well I do here. =) At least I stand a fairly good chance over my Golden compadre.
What are you building, then? :rolleyes:
-
It's called Page 6.
-
Oh marvellous. A popup.
However, depending on wedges, I might have a plan.
-
1 week left.
-
I wouldn't worry about it. I've never been renowned for my spectacular wedges.
-
Methinks NFX entered a Poopup and methinks I will win the cheesy name award. :P
-
You can see what everyone entered on Page 6. I'm hoping I do slightly better than BTTB, where I lost to R0B0SH4RK twice.
-
I know you are entering a popup of some sorts and I said I thought you were enterig a poopup. :P
-
There's nothing poopy about it, apart from my notoriously average wedges. Most of my wedges are very hit-and-miss for some reason, no matter what I try.
-
You're downplaying yourself NFX.
-
I also have a tendency to do that as well. I think it actually helps, if I go into something with very little confidence, and I do well, it's a nice surprise. If I go into something with a lot of confidence and I do badly, then it's somewhat upsetting. But if I have no confidence and I do badly, it's kind of what I expected. So having no confidence means I can only meet or exceed my expectations. Or be eliminated in the most lulzy way possible, like in BTTB1. =D
-
Ill be lucky if I even get a bad robot made for this :P
-
Sent
Spent hours trying to get it so that it doesn't frontflip/backflip when it enters the wedge war, but I've done it..I hope.
And I bet it has AGOD too...xD
-
I am quite surprised that my bot hasn't AGOD at all so far. Considering its crazy hinged stuff and wedges, I thought it'd be all over the place.
-
So if we have enough empty spots in the main bracket, will us wildcard guys get in the main or what?
-
Yeah, that's already happened once too.
-
I'm betting I will lose, but we'll see.
-
Im going to have to pass off my place.. sorry as much as I have tried I just dont really have the time to meet the deadline..
-
I'm sorry to hear that Joe, but I do understand.
Reier is now in the main bracket.
-
yeeeeehaw
-
I wouldn't worry about it. I've never been renowned for my spectacular wedges.
That, and I might have an idea for an anti-wedge system for my robot :P
-
TESTING UPDATE:
Having swapped the old razors for something different, performance has improved drastically- the robot has become incredibly good at pushing from the side whilst simultaneously doing damage constantly, trapping wedges on its scoop front, and is pretty fast and durable to boot. Something of a lightning bruiser, almost.

lol, have you stole my idea?
-
No? That idea was more influenced by Roadblock.
-
humph, typical, still, should be interesting to see your bot then.

Hope so. In testing, it's destroyed all of the original DSL Heavies >:D
-
Entry Sent. Hopefully, revenge shall be mine >:D

Normally I don't like bragging and up playing my bots because it comes off as cockey but GF is bragging again and I'd like to knock him back a few notches...
My bot has about as many weapons as Valid Query II and as much drive as it. It can take off a 50KG sledge hammer on the initial box rush. But watch it lose first round now because I said all the above crap. So there GF... :P
-
But does it have a wedge?
-
Maybe...
-
Then there's also my bot's great agility and pushing power...
-
I've got 4wd NPCF with technos. Unless you have the same drive or are going with the Muchos Wheelos approach I'm going to be able to out push you. :P
-
4WD NPCFs with the small but grippy DSL wheels, giving good speed and high agility at a low weight cost. Besides, what's that power going to matter to you when I'm on your bot's side, thrusting away into it with my spikes? :P
-
To be fair, Valid Query 2 was such a speedy little bugger, people had trouble catching him. You might run into the same pitfall here, GF93. =P
-
Well, we're around a simular speed, so if we do meet, it should be quite an exciting conflict. I do believe I hold the edge in agility though, so I might be able to clinch it.
-
I prefer my anti-wedge tactic, instead of a chassis at the bottom, I have my weapons.

Except for the fact that my wedges are great for flipping things over with a good hard shove :P
-
Then I turn into a giant complex face spinner, but to be honest, I have a severe lack of weaponry.

But even still, judging by what I saw, it's quite a terrifying creation, if I might say so :beer:

I caught it. Twice...because it ran into the snowplough of doooom :P
Anyways, my bot is in my showcase. It doesn't distinguish between wedged and non wedged, and will happily eat it no matter what. Unless its got sledgehammers...then..oh dear. xD
-
Well, we're around a simular speed
Technos are about twice as fast as DSL Wheels, IIRC.
-
Due to superior grip. So SKBT will beat you in speed.

AHAHAHAH and I was having trouble thinking of what to build after failing prototypes... heheheheheh... thanks ;D
-

I see. Still, don't count me out just yet- there's still plenty of tricks up my robot's metal sleeves ;D
-
Deadline is extended till Wednesday next week because Ounce and R0B0 need more time.
-
Must stop being lazy
-
List updated. The rest of you, you have till Wednesday midnight.
-
\o/
-
Unfortunately R0B0 has had to pull out, moving KM to the main bracket. Bots are due in in about 36 hours.

Craaig is evil laughing ? Welcome to the dark side, pal !
Oh wait you're already in it since a few months :P
Must stop being lazy
Heh. Same here really.
-
G.K., I have to wait to 8 p.m. CST tomorrow to get my bot in.
-
Entry sent. this should be fun
-
G.K., I have to wait to 8 p.m. CST tomorrow to get my bot in.
Doesn't matter, I need to extend the deadline by one more day anyway due to some schoolwork that will take up my whole evening.
-
AAAH D: totally useless at this >.<
-
Will send soon, I swear *slaps self in face to wake up*
-
Yoda's AI'd.
11 bots left!
Including 3 of the top 5 ranked members. D:
-
Bot's attached. Forgot about it for a bit:P
-
Why thank you. Providing this turns out ok we're down to 10 bots left.

Oh, handy, I was about to PM you saying i'd have to pull out for similair reasons.
Infact, just remembered, i'm being dragged into school until 8:30 because of a selfish and dumb inbred of a teacher, so, if i'm still delaying things, probably better off you just give my spot to somebody less bogged down with crap. Sorry 'bout that.
Plus a flipper VS takes a lot of work to make work decently in these days of uber wedges anyway ;P
-
Ok, sorry to hear that.
I've moved Doom into the bracket.
-
Well I mean Vert. xD
It seems Gazea pulled out too, so I'm now waiting on 7 of y'all.
Madman and Somebody will be AI'd shortly.
-
DP:
Picnicn, being the kind fellow he is, invited me round to his tomorrow. Therefore, I won't be on the computer until 8 PM GMT tomorrow. Your bots must be in by then.
-
That's great to hear! What do you think of mine?
-
DP:
THAT WAS 4 POSTS YOU SHMUCK
-
I don't care.

Thank you, GF93. It was also 3 posts, FOTEPX, lrn2arithmetic.

He musta deleted 1, because I'm 100% sure, with a money back guarantee, that I counted 4.
-

That's OK. Anyway, here's hoping I do a bit better than last time, eh?

I'll have the money then.
Now keep the off-topic out of here.
-
Anyway, here's hoping I do a bit better than last time, eh?
I guess so. Although after reaching the rumble last time around, I'm not sure I can pull it off again. Wedginess isn't one of my bots' strengths, typically.

Mine does have a pretty decent wedge though, so hopefully I might get a couple like Son of MSHD did.
-
Adios for this evening guys. I'd better have at least 5 bots by the time I turn on tomorrow.
-
Weeeee.
My bot is so amazing, it makes it self fly around XD
-
Ima starting to build
-
Lol for mine I just replaced a titanium sheet with a heavy plow:P
-
Right I'm home, I have bots from 090901, Craaig and Ounce.
Nary, Sage, Urjak, you guys need to send before I complete the splash.
-
Nary, you have moments.

How many moments? :P
-
Weeeee.
My bot is so amazing, it makes it self fly around XD
Please don't be a rush job Please don't be a rush job

-
Meh, I'm mostly likely going to rebuild it if i have time.
I made it at like 12 am at night :P
BUT IT LOOKS SO KEWL

*Remembers GF's attempt and almost barfs*
In what sense, Crabmeat?
