Meh. I could be a noob and blame it on the AI or the arena, but I won't. My bot got flipped and you took out my drive, immobilizing me. YAY.

LRA2, Sage is modeling what vets do when they lose, and they do lose too. And same with Inf...here post-474.
So follow these vets' examples and learn from your mistakes and/or losses.

Edit: Lots of people are putting lots of time into you....Make use of it.

With the weight of your weapon, the few battery power it has, the weapon motor itself, even I noticed that the bot was flawed to the maximum. B5-C and Viper's Wrath already showed you that, B5-C defeated COID TWICE. Once by points, once by Obvious Elimination.

I think u had the best Video in Judjement Day :-D. I love how u set up the dropzone, that should of been an instant replay for sure lol. As for mine it really wasn't what I was hoping for but ill take the fastest win on him :wink:. If I ever make a face spinner again I'm gonna make the spinners with more length and use faster drive motors(which I should of done from the start:-D) IDK if I should be happy with the win because even the CFTW beat him and those bots are not even made to beat people bots, those just for quailfying time :icon_twisted:lol. Hopefully Tourney's to come I'll have better luck with the wins/exciting wins

Viper dreams of PWN1NG people and I dream of surviving my first match...
LiNcK-A-N00B FTW ;D

Is that how it happened? I've yet to see the video.

I'm glad that I was against a veteran. If I had been against a n00b they would have tried to whine and complain their way out of it.

Anyway, sounded like a good match. Dang, there's no handshake smilie. (insert handshake smilie here) lol

Yeah, He pinned you over the flipper. Result: A short flight.

Faaip de Oiad - R0B0SH4RK
- R0B0 listens to too much Tool. :icon_tongue: Anyway, this is the only bot in the tourney which shows that quality > quantity. 8 razors ain't much, but this bot is very heavily armored. If R0B0's smart zone is spot on, it will reach a top 3 finish.

Don't tell them my methods for naming bots, you fool!

And there's no such thing as "too much Tool."

Also, can we cut the crap about LRA2, and the grudge matches, and n00biness, and all the other stuff? Pwn and I have both made some predictions, and you have to reach back about eight pages for them in the span of a few hours. Let's all just move on and analyze the upcoming tourney that JB's gonna put on for us.

Agreed. Lets focus more on the tourney and less on the distracting crap (you know what I mean).

1. Somebody:Reigning Champ, I watched the first CC1 videos and was speechless:o
2. R0B0SH4RK: I'm a big fan of popups, and good defensive bots:wink:. I think Good Offense and Defense are important in tourney's for all possible outcomes that may happen in the arena.
3.Naryar: Prolly if not, the best wedjes in the game:-). Also it has very good low profile which will help getting underneath peoples bots
4. MikeNCR: I have to support a fellow facespinner:beer:.Has good wedjes and I love the weaponary setup he used for the spinners.
5.Reier:Not as heavily armoured as ROBO but I like his setup.It has good Offense also Each hammer has alot of Hp which would make for a good frontal defense to, Like I said With Robo I think it's important to have a good balance between Both Offense and Defense.
I liked alot of other people bots(Except Man Manu bots"NoOffense" but Cute bots do not win Matches or Tourney's MEAN,RUTHLESS,and EVIL wins matches and Tourney's) too I picked these ones because I'm confident at least 2 or 3 of my picks will make it to the top 5 but u never know what might happen in the arena:icon_twisted:

LiNcK · « **Reply #249 on:** July 05, 2009, 06:25:59 PM »

I know i should be in your list, You just forgot me:baby_smily:

trumpetguy · « **Reply #250 on:** July 05, 2009, 06:28:58 PM »

Thats what is so cool about this arena everything could change in a matter of seconds take example the match Bigger Brother vs. Hypno-Disc.

Condor33 · « **Reply #251 on:** July 05, 2009, 09:21:41 PM »

Condor's Predictions:

Dark Matter: Crappy weapons. Good armor but could get gut-ripped.
Trap Master & Decoy: They look like good bots but their effectiveness against SHWs could be limited.
Please Die: Dunno about this one. Looks like a GBBS type bot though.
Super SnS: Could this kind of bot please be outlawed?
Total Controversy: Confusing design, don't know about this one.
Shinigami: A lot of wasted weight on extenders, could be much more powerful.
Xenophobik R: A good bot in testing but I'm worried about getting tipped over.
Hypercube 2: Looks like the hammers would get in the way of the razor grinding. Powerful looking at least.
Cube of Pure Evil: TOO F@#$ING HUGE! This one is probably the biggest threat.
Grindhouse: InfCon anyone? Looks quite deadly if it can keep its weapons.
Mad Box: No offense, but terrible weapon placement.
Lament Configuration: Can it selfright? Other than that, it's a big freakin' disk. Pretty good.
Head Chef: Scared.
Hellish Charm: Not quite as scared.
Exponential Decay: Extremely scared.
Sky High: I hope you know that weapon system takes literally a minute and a half to get to full speed, right?
Timber: As long as it hits, it should do some major damage. Another big threat.
Faaip de Diad: Generic popup.
GTFO ME: Would people take the seven seconds to armor their disks please? One hit to the top and this bot is weaponless.
Blade Wave: As previously stated, it's a cheese grater. I don't need to go into much detail here.
Scramjet: I see some boring matches here. It's practically invincible, but does low damage.
Bob and Bill: DOAM clones to the rescue! They look too tall to be stable.
Destiny: Not much to say here as it's a SnS.
Mammoth: Slow chafing to death. Also has an amazing srimech (see vs Surprise!) I really like this bot.

Enjoy my probably incorrect predictions.

Nope, It cannot self right. I didn't bother because after extensive testing it only was flipped over once in every 10 or so matches. Once it is flipped over, its done. It is nearly impossible to flip it back upright after that. I am really just hoping that is corners most bots or gets them into the wall effectively.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #253 on:** July 05, 2009, 10:22:04 PM »

im editing the first qualifying video now, should be four parts...note that ROBOSH4RK, System32 and Sage have been moved backwards on the list due to AI fixes

so the first video will contain LiNcK, Reier, Condor33, H@z47, JD and Click

JoeBlo · « **Reply #254 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:44:17 AM »

the first part of qualifying is now up, the first page is now set up for the full tournament including links to the brackets, etc as well as the qualifying leader board , just click the little stop watch on the bracket for the qualifying video.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #255 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:55:13 AM »

The link to the vids on the first page directs to the Wild Card brackets, not qualifying. You might want to fix that.

Also, H@zm47's AI looks like it has some driving problems.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #256 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:59:09 AM »

I had a close look at that but it seems ok, H@z47 wrote that himself, might have something to do with 2 possible targets

Edit: page 1 fixed

Naryar · « **Reply #257 on:** July 06, 2009, 01:29:07 AM »

Dark Matter:
-And another mako clone... Decently built, but i don't see it as a dangerous bot. Yes Mako wedges are outdated. Will get shredded by the heavy spinners.

TTM/D:
-A solid multibot, really well built. One of the things that really scares me. Most likely will get raped by the heavy spinners... but can it pull off a Hum-Drums ?

Please Die:
-No no no. Won't really work well because of unstability and exposed drive. Wedge is nearly insignificant.

Super SnSnS:
-GHEEEEYYYY but efficient. I hope it gets OOTA.

Total Controversy:
-Cool looking and a nice wedge, but not very dangerous as i see it. Not powerful enough.

Shinigami:
-Cool, but too fragile and bear claws fail as well.

Xenophobik Ressurketion:
-UNSTABLE and will pull a Destroyer, probably land OOTA. Might get wins against shell spinners though.

Hypercube 2:
-Not bad for a noob. Not invertible and no way to self right however...

Cube of Pure Evil:
-Another cool bot that won't get very far because any good gut ripper will rape it.

Grindhouse:
-Too slow to be a really good gut ripper, and will get shredded by the heavier HS.

MBTF:
-SFTW

Lament Configuration:
-Wedges will fail - i know it. Drive could be better - best name of all the bots, though.

(Will finish later, not enough time)

JoeBlo · « **Reply #258 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:32:13 AM »

JoeBlo · « **Reply #259 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:21:55 AM »
