LOL at robots ! Reier's does look rather good though.

The bot's weapon fails (still WHO PUT 90KG ON THAT DAMN BSG ???) but IC (guess why it's called like that...) went under HnM 4 AND beat it by points on the DSL Tournament Arena so i might have a chance.

What did I put on the BSG? XD i cant even remember :P

EDIT: I see - the sledgehammers were only cos an Emergency wedge on a BSG would be damn useless in the HW class. :P

Im surprised that JoeBlo made a HUGE chassis like that...
And so irregulary shaped too ;O
 
I dont have much imagination when building bots, And its the first time i (Helped) build a bot of that kind, So i had no idea on what to add ^^'

I totally killed the wedge by putting too much weight on the back... crap.  Sorry team. I should have put a tail on the back too for better bracing.

Post by: Naryar on March 23, 2010, 06:09:04 AM

Well Reier, you probably are my greatest threat here. Both of Jack's and Joe's doesn't have an efficient weapon sytem and Joe's wedge looks like it fails.

Also who are the builders in the teams exactly ? I know Craaig sabotaged my bot by failing at weapon setup, but other than that IDK.

Hopefully i did not get stuck with barely capable builders like poor Joey did... but still, LLB and Craaig, both of you guys failed :P

I didn't know what I was supposed to do given I had a BSG with an emergency wedge on XD

Also, while building, I had a feeling I'd be on Nary's team and get flamed for anything I missed up on :-L

I also put alot of weight on the back, But luckily, I didnt ruin the wedge ;D
 
I just wonder... Why the spoiler looking thing on the back?

Post by: Jack Daniels on March 23, 2010, 04:35:38 PM

Well, it was supposed to be a gut ripper. But the wedges fail and the drive fails (apparently) I should have done something to make the drive more powerful, maybe made it 4 WD instead.  Or I should have done something to make the wedge more effective by distributing weight better.  The spoiler would have held bots at bay for the spinners to gutrip... but the bot seemingly can't get under opponents very well.  Guess I should have used...

ballasts :O

No Jack, you built the drive well.


The wedge and weapons, however, are somehow insufficient... and you don't need ballasts to have a good wedge !

Post by: Naryar on April 01, 2010, 11:41:37 AM

IC's not a bad bot, it's even more than an average one... simply the weapon setup is not very damaging, it's not invertible and it wastes a few dozen kg's wasted on the BSG...

I'm not that good with FRAPS, how do I do that?

it has nothing to do with fraps.. well it kinda does... your record button is the same as the button in RA2 used to show that.. just change your recording button.

1: A KO for Shipwreck!
2: Shipwreck WBP after a strange jumping HAVOK-esque thing flung it across the arena.
3: AoO WBP, knocked off a wheel. BORING...

lol your next tourney should be "Chinese Whispers: The Aftermath" and have a load of grudge matches between team members who didn't like what the other did to the robot :P

Title: Re: Chinese Whispers, Splash, Brackets and videos.
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on June 11, 2010, 11:34:36 AM

My next plan is "Not Quite Replica Wars" where people make bots only using the components found in single DSL replicas.

Title: Re: Chinese Whispers, Splash, Brackets and videos.
Post by: JoeBlo on June 11, 2010, 11:53:06 AM

1 big issue would be the lack of construction materials.. basically you would have to make one of the replicas with a different weapon or something like that

Title: Re: Chinese Whispers, Splash, Brackets and videos.

How come Army of One and Sliverfish have not fought each other?

Imperfect Construction is winning right now, but if Sliverfish wins all the rounds vs Army of One, Imperfect Construction and Sliverfish would be tied for the win.

I think it could be to hard for builders to share or combine theire building style with the style of another to make a combat effective robot since everyone has his own way to build a bot. But I could be wrong. I prefer to watch the whole thing from a distance.

TP: I got home today and thought "I have 10 mins spare to film the rumble"
I went to film and it TOOK 24 MINS TO FILM!!!
So I doubled the speed, and doubled it again, and doubled it again.
8 times speed.
I would film SFvsAoO but all of Silverfishes matches are sooooo laaaggggggyyyy..........
The rumble should be up now.

Here is that match. The quality's turned out better than I expected. One thing I did notice though, was that I accidently left in a couple-of-seconds pause in the middle somewhere. I cut out large sections of the video because they were always exactly the same as the bit just before I cut them out. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xdvr54_round-6-sf-vs-aoo_videogames (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xdvr54_round-6-sf-vs-aoo_videogames)
