 Clash Cubes 2 Splash / Showcase  (http://robotarenacubes.t83.net/#/entries/4534427424)

Grand Final

Grindhouse vs Xenophobik Resurrektion *****
its here the final encounter, Xenophobik Resurrektion lost to Super SnS, Super SnS lost to Grindhouse how will this pan out, the predictions are slightly in favor of Grindhouse...two very destructive and very mobile robots... this is DSL at its best, an epic encounter and the robots can deliver the goods. both are capable of winning the second the other puts a foot wrong. Hold on for one last time as Clash Cubes 2 goes off with a BANG!

Finals

Grindhouse vs Super SnS *****
the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object.. I know you have heard that before but seriously.. Grindhouse is an unstoppable force overcoming loads of odds, beating Shinigami with no wheels, defeating 2 heavyweight multibots and even taking out the feared Bladewave. Super SnS is truly an immovable object despite a few battle losses somebody's series of SnS bots have racked up an amazing 7-0 match streak with 12 battle wins. so sit down and hold on for one of the most explosive matches in Clash Cubes history (I wish I could give it 6 stars)

Winner: Grindhouse :O

Xenophobik Resurrektion vs Cube Of Pure Evil *****
a little bit of lag but a really good match, moments that would keep you looking closer. full of those nail biting times where robots barely escape elimination. a good way to end the losers bracket but who will be heading to the grand final ? the huge daunting COPE or one of the most potent VS robots in clash cubes history.

Winner: Xenophobik Resurrektion

Losers Bracket - Semi Finals

Xenophobik Resurrektion vs Faaip De Oiad *****
it has been a while but yes another 5 has been cracked, basically action all the way no point did robots sit pinned in the corner, plenty of destruction but no lag or havoks present. and the twist at the end of battle 2 is the icing on the cake.

Winner: Xenophobik Resurrektion

Destiny vs Cube Of Pure Evil **
two SnS's were never really going to make something big.. in fact I cut out the first minute of the bots doing nothing before they reached each other but the points count is interesting ... a cookie to who ever guesses what happened with them.

Winner: Cube Of Pure Evil

Semi Finals

Super SnS vs Hellish Charm ***
two SnS robots was never going to make a 5 star match, not terribly exciting through the whole match but the times when the robots find each other the action heats up. a nice surprise you find out is that one of these bots can Mauler Dance

Winner: Super SnS

Grindhouse vs Bladewave ****
business is starting to pick up, this match is really on the edge of your seat stuff with twists and turns not to mention the constant points lead change but dont worry about missing something the lag will help you out... in fact that's why this match didn't make 5 stars with 2 additional minutes to the total video time due to lag

Winner: Grindhouse

Match Reviews - Losers Bracket Round 2

Shinigami vs Faaip De Oiad ***
2 personal favorites of mine, the small compact Faaip taking on the huge daunting Shinigami...both found each others sweet spots fairly easily to make a nice way to kick off the losers bracket once again.

Winner: Faaip De Oiad

Dark Matter vs Xenophobik Resurrektion ****
VS vs VS (sounds a bit complicated) how about Wedges vs No Wedges?? but dont go thinking this match is a done deal because of that fact,  Xenophobik Resurrektion has been on a role with wins vis out of the arena and is determined to send Dark Matter out the same way..

Winner: Xenophobik Resurrektion

Sky High vs Destiny **
another match that looked more like a freestyle motocross show, Sky High determined to live up to is name decided to make an attempt to get out of the atmosphere this time but what happens when it falls on other robots ?? can destiny hold out the mother of all drop zones ?

Winner: Destiny

Total Controversy vs Cube of Pure Evil ***
what ever was total controversy's plan one thing was for sure... he would have to execute it as quickly as it dispatched GTFO Me or COPE would rack up to many points for TC to handle. a bit of lag here and there but a fairly good match.

Winner: Cube Of Pure Evil

Match Reviews - Round 3

Super SnS vs Mammoth ****
another fairly action packed match up, Mammoth was wiped out last time by an SnS and was determined to not let it happen again but would have to rely on the arena to stop the long unbeaten run of Somebody.

Winner: Super SnS

ScramJet vs Hellish Charm ***
flails typically gain more points then static weaponry so the only real option for ScramJet is to take out the drive underneath... but Hellish Charm would have to be careful as ScramJet is known for inducing Havoks in flails

Winner: Hellish Charm

The Trap Master & Decoy vs Grindhouse ***
the lag was a little annoying which is what reduced the star rating but a good match none the less... MikeNCR has been nicknamed things "GI Mike" but after this match "One Man Army" would be best suited.. against all odds Grindhouse was able to go full match times with the cluster bot.. expect a few surprises in this one

Winner: Grindhouse

BladeWave vs Exponential Decay ***
Laggy match but funny that there was a surprising lack of havoks...honorable mentions go to RA2 for being able to load that many razors and the CC2 janitor for doing a great job cleaning up the mounds of razors scattered across the arena.

Winner: BladeWave

Match Reviews - Losers Bracket Round 1

Shinigami vs 'Please Die' ****
not the most destructive we have seen but nice swift match's with very low dull points and 0% lag or havoks (just the way I like them) and it may just be me but I find Shinigami entertaining to watch

Winner: Shinigami

Timber vs Faaip de Oiad ***
pretty average match, not really edge of your seat stuff but at the same time no real boredom. not really much else to say but it did come down to wedges.

Winner: Faaip de Oiad

Dark Matter vs Lament Configuration ***
another match that came down to wedges, neither robot does do very well upside down which my result in its eventual demise. a fairly average match that was expected to last the full 2 minutes each time

Winner: Dark Matter

Xenophobik Resurrektion vs Mads Boxes True Form **
a battle of the vertical spinners, a warning to all viewers dont blink or you may miss the ending....the match didnt have any lag or havoks.. it just didn't last as long as we would have hoped.

Winner: Xenophobik Resurrektion

Bob & Bill vs Destiny ****
a really tight match that could have gone either way. Bob & Bill seemed determined to not loose to another SnS after there close loss to Super SnS in the first round

Winner: Destiny

Sky High vs HyperCube-2 ***
VS's have a history of flipping other robots and HyperCube has no sremech, but sky high has a history of its own... a history of living up to its name. fairly good action with a few close calls.

Winner: Sky High

Cube Of Pure Evil vs Head Chef **
Another SnS v shell spinner match up...unfortunately that means a dull match while the opposing bots take the time to find there opponent... I actually cut the first minute give or take when the robots took the time to get closer to each other.

Winner: Cube Of Pure Evil

Total Controversy vs GTFO Me ****
this match could have been 5 star had it gone longer. just when you thought Sky Highs self exit was impressive this match has the mother of all "throwing your opponent out of the arena" moments, This week has been the 40th anniversary of the moon landing and to celebrate one of these robots went out of orbit.

Winner: Total Controversy

Match Reviews - Round 2

Super SnS vs Bob & Bill ****
the longest streak in Clash Cubes 6-0, It was said this match wont be one not for the faint hearted but Bob & Bill appear to be on a mission to put a mark on Somebody's perfect record

Winner: Super SnS

Mammoth vs Dark Matter ***
fairly action packed match up, the intimidating Drums of Mammoth make the chassis a hard target meaning Dark Matter will have to resort to taking out the drive.  

Winner: Mammoth

ScramJet vs Head Chef *
it was over before it began.. what started out looking like a good match was cut short. But rules are rules

Winner: ScramJet

Lament Configuration vs Hellish Charm ***
one of the biggest face spinners ever seen taking on the flail spinner, this match was fairly full of action spanning 3 matches, sorry Naryar but it contains a pit in this video

Winner: Hellish Charm

Faaip de Oiad vs Grindhouse ***
the match could have had a higher rating if the Lag didnt annoy me so much, the match was fairly average except for a few twists in the first match (hint watch to the right of the action replay carefully)

Winner: Grindhouse

The Trap Master & Decoy vs Cube Of Pure Evil ***
this match may have had a higher rating if not for the large amount of lag and perm havoks... nothing to decide the outcome but annoying none the less. despite the high amount of weaponry COPE had its hands full with this match.. but were the cluster bots worst enemy each other ?

Winner: The Trap Master & Decoy

Timber vs Exponential Decay ****
these to put of a good show, a killer spinner and one of the most unquire bots seen. the action was a little slow which is likely the only thing stopping a 5* match, they even made a Havok look better then normal, I will say match 1 you likely wouldn't see the ending coming.

Winner: Exponential Decay

Blade Wave vs 'Please Die' **
surprisingly slow match for 2 fast bots, 'please die' can not sustain any damage underneath but what happens it its inverted ? when all hope is lost some bots just decide to take them selves out of the match

Winner: Blade Wave

Match Reviews - Round 1

Super SnS vs Xenophobik Resurrektion ***
seeded 1 vs seeded 7, Xenophobik can strip away SnS's weaponry with ease but what happens if the DSL bars go ? This match fairly low on dull points and a good way to kick off

Winner: Super SnS

Mad Box's True Form vs Dark Matter ***
dont go thinking this will be one sided, lets just say one of these competitors will be glad its 2/3

Winner: Dark Matter

Head Chef vs Destiny **
a small chassis shell spinner basically makes it react like an SnS.... Destiny is also an SnS, this video is the smallest yet as I cut out the...nothing, its not all doom and gloom as the arena causes an early upset

Winner: Head Chef (barely)

GTFO me vs Hellish Charm **
well it all comes to points on this one but its not as boring as it sounds the lead changes at least 4 times in the video, but again it doesn't make up for the slow moving match.

Winner: Hellish Charm (only just)

Shinigami vs Grindhouse *****
the first five star match of the tournament, defiantly one to watch, surprises around every corner... just when you think one bot has the win some else will happen, The ending of the last match with have you frantically looking around the screen trying to figure out who won (btw its below this in white)

Winner: Grindhouse

Cube Of Pure Evil vs HyperCube-2 *
from five stars to one... to SnS's weren't exactly going to put on an epic show... the arena basically decided these matches as time was basically ran out by the time they reach each other

Winner: Cube Of Pure Evil

Total Controversy vs Exponential Decay ***
a much bigger improvement from the last match... Flipper that loves to strike the undersides of shell spinners vs a shell spinner that loves to eat the wedges of flippers.

Winner: Exponential Decay

'Please Die' vs Sky High **
it looked like a corigraphed flying trapies act with bots going all over the place, distpite to power of sky high was it more of a danger to itself or 'Please Die'

Winner: 'Please Die'

Qualifying - Leader Board


Match Reviews - Wild Card

Destiny vs Vipers Wrath ***
A nice match to kick off the tournament shows a good mix of the hazards in the arena, looked like it was going to be one sided to begin with but there is a big surprise in the closing part of the match.

Winner: Destiny

Mammoth vs Surprise! **
Two drum robots fighting it out, one thing is for sure neither wants to be the first one flipped, best point of the match would be the great self right by mammoth using the arena side wall.

Winner: Mammoth

Chain Of Impending DOOM vs B5-C Platnium Heart **
a little bit of a lackluster fight with neither bot able to push the other however the the ending is sure to drop a few jaws.

Winner: B5-C Platnium Heart

Destiny vs B5-C Platnium Heart ***
Blink and you may miss this one, despite the short time it is no means a one sided fight. A nail biting finish that could have gone either way.

Winner: Destiny

B5-C Platnium Heart vs Mammoth **
starts off as a good match but as the robots start coming apart the action decreases, the arena gets more involved to increase the action.

Draw (points are not a decider in the Wild Card Playoff)

Mammoth vs Destiny ****
This match was the best seen so far in this tournament, then again your wouldn't expect anything less from Sage and System32. plenty of action replays,

Draw (points are not a decider in the Wild Card Playoff)

Cool. Your respect ratings should definitely shoot up when this is done. :D

Oh well, predictions time! :D

1. V89 < S32 - If V89's weapons had a longer reach, then it could've been a close match.
2. Yayoi > LRA2 - I don't know the insides of LRA2's bot, though I doubt it would've been significant enough. I sense mauler dances.
3. Sage > HA - Sage's bot can lift HA's bot and turn it upside down. Might have an early win via countout.

The semis are too close for me to predict. XD

LRA2's bot looks ALOT like a modified Grog the Vengeful....

Post by: System32 on July 01, 2009, 05:25:51 AM
First match: *See NOS-BOT VS Haymaker*
Second match: LRA2 will mauler dance all over the place. Taka may get an easy win if he's quick enough.
Third match: Hurricane andrew will be eviserated by sage's goliath.

oooo .. sorry about that will post up the youtube links for you if you like

also for all those thinking mauler dance for LRA2's bot "Chain of Impending DOOM" it is only powered by a single perm so its not the quickest

Edit: also LRA2's bot cant be a modified grog as the chassis need to be a cube

It's ok. Youtube videos take too long to load on my computer though, but I'll go to my brother's house later and check it out on his computer. He has satellite internet.

1. V89 < S32 - If V89's bot had grippier wheels, then it could've been a close match.

Ok everybody kept saying gripper wheels but know one wanted to tell me the actual name of the wheels there called cause I looked the wheel up and none of them are called gripper wheels so bite me lol. I'm gonna loose because of wheels??? Well if manage to stop his spinning and get to his Exposed wheels then I think I got a got good chance. lol LRA2: bot looks pretty decent:eek: lol. @S32 it's gonna be a good match funny how u said see ya in da cage in bra the showcase and we get each other first round dam u can u see into the future lol, lets put on a good show:gunz:

*headdesk*

By grippier wheels, we don't mean the wheels are named 'grippier'. XD

Check the description of the wheels in the selection and if they say it has good grip, then it's grippy. :P

Oh, and exposed wheels aren't that big of a problem since Destiny spins very fast.

Well I kinda figured that out when I couldent find them but  didn't know the exact wheels so I stuck with the wheelchair wheels(it said it had good traction in the description) hmm it spins very fast interesting:approve:. @ JoBlo What time do u think the videos would be up I have to go to work at 8:00am today to 3:00pm then from there I got to remake my college schedule so I will prolly be home at around 4:00 ish:-D

LRA2 (SFTW award goes to him btw) was clearly pitted before Taka.

Outcomes were predictible, and i bet Sage will win this.

Nice job so far JoeBlo. Can't wait for the other vids !

ya I noticed my bot was very slow to, which it's not when using it in the game ??? I thought If I had enough speed I would been able to Ram Destiny , stop his spinning and got to work on his wheels sadly my bot was way slow and Destiny spinning was way fast:approve: but I can accept a lost like that It's not like I got smashed  on I only lost my front plows two discs and the 2 razor strip every thing else stayed in place And it was my 2nd bot I ever built, it had a good defense just not enough speed for the offense.

Viper89: its not really possible to ram in destiny and stop it unless you have a really wedgey bit like Naryars as the only really way to stop it was to get its wheels off the ground.

Quote from: takatsukiyayoi;48008
If B5-C's AI doesn't drive aggressively enough, I will get eliminated.


I will look in to the bindings again but im pretty sure it was just the match as LRA2s bot was hard to push

Quote from: Madiaba;47935
Very nice work, Joe.  Maybe zoom-in a bit, though...


I felt the zoom was ok for the first two, I didnt want to zoom in to far so you miss the effects of things like the flipper or the drop zone, the last match was to be zoomed in but (i believe it was LRA2s bot) would really lag the game quite bad if I zoomed in much closer. will work on it though

Quote from: Scrap Daddy;47965
You should put the winner in white text under the review like click does in BBEANS. Would help me out because I can't watch ANYTHING. >.<


sounds good... I actually didnt know BBEANS did that, editing in them as I type this.

hope that clears up a lot

At the end of the tournament can Viper89 and I have a match just so we can see whose bots are better? I'm so curious but I can't find out now that he's out of the tournament already.

Well to start off I already asked JoBlo to give me the grudge match with LRA2 if I didn't get him first round:evilsmile: Before the matches were made. 2nd we already know who is going to win  ,u have the better wedje which is a big advantage and more spinners, I'm not wimping out or anything if JoBlow wants to do this then I'm game:gunz: I'm just saying it's really obvious and I would be really suprised if I did win ;D

possibly after CC2 I will release a AI pack ... it wont be the traditional kind (no middleweights) but people can test there entries against any others they want and the little cube bots

We're not stupid, we can build a wedge to get under said flipper and we can also build bots that can run upside down.
Of course, a well-built flipper might do well (flip bots OOTA) in the RW arena. Read, well-built.

1 please don’t insult the tournament host, they are more work then you may think and I test everything fully before recording videos,

2 spinner bots rotate while spinning up and since your weapon was really under powered with a single perm it could never reach full speed, also the fact that your shell was massively un balanced played a huge roll.

3 except defeat move on and try better next time
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Urjak on July 02, 2009, 11:02:20 PM
Sheck Spinner are the kings of annoying motor torque. Your disk was very heavy and unbalanced, and with only a single perm, what did you expect?

As everyone said, just take the defeat and move on.

After watching some of the vids ( havnt seen ha vs sage yet) I comment that LRA2 bot was too slow, Vipers was very defensive but not fast enough and that yayoi need to get better wedes because at some stage I could see the left wedge going trough the floor, which isnt good. And destiny is VERY fast.
Overall, not bad battles

Good fights, looks like you took a few ideas from BBEANS. :mrgreen:  I don't mind, they're not copyrighted.

Why is your orbit cam so high in the Robot Wars arena?  Mine is nearly at floor level.  Unless that's the F10 cam.  In which case you could zoom in a bit more... it's hard to see some of the details, like whether or not LRA2 has any legitimate complaints about the AI.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 03, 2009, 11:19:40 PM
yes I did nick a few ideas from bbeans .. well they say you have to learn from the best :-D

it is the F10 cam and was my intention to zoom in by some spinner robots lag the game if zoomed in to close so I needed a further shot, S32's and LRA2s do lag it on closer camera...

I have checked LRA2s robot a lot as I do with everyone, I tend to use the combat zone (no lag) and control the opponent to the bot im testing this is no I can avoid the bot and see if its nose and everything is working

I looked over the video loads of times and came to the decision that both robots were pitted so it was declared a draw, at that point one robot needed to be eliminated so it was a count back on points which Yayoi won

Post by: Pwnator on July 04, 2009, 02:41:41 AM
Actually, both bots were pitted. Too bad your bot came in first. It doesn't really matter whether the bot 'touched' the bottom or not. That was just for the program to recognize that a bot was pitted and to end the fight.

As I have said, it doesn't really matter if a bot was 'hanging on' or not. The bot that was fitted first loses. I'm sorry man, but you just have to accept defeat and hope that you'll have a win in the next tournament you join.

LRA2, please learn to respect other members, I'm begging you.

I know how it feels to lose. All of us lose some matches once in a while. Even champions lose. Some lose because of bad matchups, other lose simply because the opponent's bot was built better. Yours was somewhere in between. As I have said before, learn to accept defeat and be a good sport. If you join more tournaments you'll have more chances of winning.

mammoth had troubles given the width as the AI will attempt to not cross the drop zone, pit and flipper with any part of the robot

Edit: I might just announce it encase there is any angry mobs about this outcome

due to a schedule conflict Madiaba has donated his spot to the runner up of the Wild Card Bracket which does mean Sage will be going through to the main tournament along with System32

Again, my angled VS was specialized to take out shell spinners and some SnS. But I think my chances of beating those are quite low here, even though I beat 2 Steel Meatballs with it.

COPE's scary, but if I face him I might have a slightly better chance of winning. Both HCs and Exponential Decay however, will most likely beat me.

And yes H@z, Bob N' Bill = <3 <3 <3. XD

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 05, 2009, 02:19:45 AM
This will not be an easy tourney. I should be able to beat anything that carries low horizontal kinetic energy. There's a lot of hidden chassis' too (like Mammoth), so I'm not sure about my chances.

PREDICTIONS!

Dark Matter - Pwnator
- Solid VS, and I think the chassis is elevated. Mako-style wedges are becoming out-dated though, and it has enough exposed components. Good gut-rippers and high-KE spinners will give it problems.

Trap Master & Decoy - Doomkiller
- They don't look too bad, and they wouldn't be against other 600 kg bots, but they might get out-wedged and out-weaponed by biger SHW's. No easy matches for these fellows.

Please Die - Flying Chao
- Not that great for a SHW rammer. It's fast, but it might get gut-ripped and have it's wheels torn off. That being said, it might be able to box-rush some high-KE spinners and cause them problems.

Super SnS - Somebody
- A high-KE spinner with an awkward shape renders it nearly un-pittable. A tough opponent, but if anything can get under it, those extenders look mighty vulnerable.

Total Controversy - RedlineM203
- A "true popup" as Naryar says (personally, I just think it's a flipper), it is one of the cooler looking bots. It's quite brittle and probably not very damaging, so any spinners can cause it problems. Depending on it's wedges though, it might cause lesser weges problems.

Shinigami - Craaig
- I like it, but I can't see it doing well. It will have trouble landing hits on opponents, while it will easily get flanked. It's only chance for a win is against something like Sage's Mammoth.

Xenophobik Resurrektion - Condor33
- Wedgeless VS's tragically rarely work. It might tumble over opponents for a few wins with 200 kg of hammer on each blade, but it could also catapult itself OOTA. It might still be able to prey on low-KE HS's though.

Hypercube 2 - Russian Roulette
- With fairly low KE, it might fall victim to gut-rippers. With plenty of razors though, it might also out-weapon other spinners, or get a few WBP's.

Cube of Pure Evil - SomeStrangeGuy
- Ummm... wtf? SSG's creations are usually bizarre, and this is no different. I think that the weak blades and low KE will allow gut-rippers to disarm it, bot other than that, I have no idea how it will fare.

Grindhouse - MikeNCR
- It looks cool, but it also looks underweight, not very wedgy, brittle, and short on weaponry. I hope it does well, but it probably won't.

Mad Box's True Form - Trumpetguy
- With a big chassis, exposed motors, and an oddly positioned drive, its only hope is to out-weapon any opponents and tumble to victory. I don't see it being able to do that though.

Lament Configuration - Jack Daniels
- It might be decent, but I don't think it will be able to scoop up its opponents well enough to do serious damage. Those it can't scoop will probably out-weapon it, and those that it can't will probably get under it. I question it's wedges too.

Head Chef - Scrap Daddy
- I was going to criticize SD on entering another flail shell spinner, but then I realized that I entered my fourth straight DSL popup. It won't do as well as the one in RAW, because it carries low KE and is quite gut-rippable.

Hellish Charm - Urjak
- See convieniently located above post.

Exponential Decaay - H@ZM47
- Copypasta: See convieniently located above post.

Sky High - R1885
- Another bot that I have no idea on. If it gets toppled though (quite a real possibility), it's doomed because chained motors won't get spinning with any resistance.

Timber - Clickbeetle
- Cool, but it will have to get quite lucky to win a match. It might be okay if it has good wedges, and it might be able to take out some low-KE spinners too.

Faaip de Oiad - R0B0SH4RK
- Heavily armoured and wedgy, it relies completely on gut-ripping. It won't be out-weaponing anybody here anytime soon. If everything goes to plan though, it won't need to.

GTFO Me - LiNcK
- High KE and strong weapons, it will probably run into the same problems as Mad's Daisy Might did in RAW. Also, slow drive and its design leaves it quite vulnerable to underbelly attacks.

Blade Wave - Naryar
- The only thing that would worry me about this bot are it's long, narrow base and what happens when it goes ass-over-teakettle. Manoeuverability might be an issue, and Naryar's never been one to worry about invertibility. I just hope it has worse wedges...

Scramjet - Reier
- There's not really much to analyze. It's just a big WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL of the strongest weapons in the game. Simple, crude, and effective.

Bob & Bill - Man Manu
- Pwnator likes them, but the truth is is that they might be the weakest entrant into this tourney. I have MW VS's that are more powerful...

Destiny - System32
- It's fast with high KE, but it has pretty vulnerable wheels and undersides. It also might be out-weaponed by other bots here.

Mammoth - Sage
- The ultimate gut-ripper un-friendly bot, its chassis is nearly impervious to all attacks. It does have weak exposed extenders however, as well as vulnerable wheels. The only ways to beat this are immobilities and WBP's.

Top 5 (no particular order):
Scramjet
Blade Wave
Faaip de Oiad
Exponential Decay
Dark Matter

Head Chef and Super SnS could also be up there.

EDIT: Also, you made a typo in the Judgement Day video, JB. It's "accept your loss," not "except your loss." Use "except" when you want to exclude something (eg: "I like all bots except somebody's")

If we're trying to teach him, we might as well teach him correct grammar too :P
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: H@zm47 on July 05, 2009, 02:57:16 AM
@R0B0: I sacrificed the use of iron spikes and chose razors instead to put titanium sheets on the underside of Exponential Decay to reduce it's susceptibility to gut-ripping.

Probably won't make much of a difference though...

you bot DID loose to viper (rather quickly) the timer was on 1 when the video cut out, I just cut the video in editing to make it smaller

CFTW beat you because when the outside shell is pinned the chassis spins around so the robot cant move, and CFTW was still mobile at the end but the AI robots stay still when another is getting counted out

did you read the message at the end ? seriously you have to stop making excuses and except your loss

Post by: Pwnator on July 05, 2009, 04:53:38 AM
Still can't believe CFTW pinned COID. o_O

Anyway, COPYPASTA TAYM!!!

PREDICTIONS!

Dark Matter - Pwnator
- VSes are the easiest bots for me to build in DSL, next to popups. I hope I get to piss off as many bots as I can with this one.

Trap Master & Decoy - Doomkiller
- Both are very solid bots, but with the abundance of shell in this tourney, I doubt they will go far. DK claims that there he has a secret weapon, though. We'll find out soon. :D

Please Die - Flying_Chao
- If there weren't any obstacles, this might have easily punted bots OOTA within 10 seconds. This can somewhat be compared to Stratocaster. Some drive power can be exchanged for more weapons instead.

Super SnS - Somebody
- Ah, the unpittable monstrosity. I couldn't see any bot that can surely give it an OOTA, let's hope the arena flippers can do their job. :P

Total Controversy - RedlineM203
- Hmmm... a very powerful flipper. I couldn't really say much here. I expect the wedges to be very good.

Shinigami - Craaig
- Sweet design, but wouldn't have much luck here due to the massive shell here.

Xenophobik Resurrektion - Condor33
- Destroyer DB on steroids. If it has enough time to fully spin those weapons, it can do some serious damage within the first 30 seconds. Once it goes to close combat though, the motors might not be powerful enough to fling the opponents off.

Hypercube 2 - Russian Roulette
- Weapon overload. I like it. If some bots are fast enough to reach its chassis before it spins up though, it might get gut-ripped mercilessly.

Cube of Pure Evil - SomeStrangeGuy
- Smoker gone wild. I <3 the design, but with the weak disks, I'm not sure if it will do well or not.

Grindhouse - MikeNCR
- MikeNCR builds extremely cool bots without sacrificing the weapons' effectiveness, and this is no exception. Excellently built, but I hope those weapons are strong enough to last against the shell.

Mad Box's True Form - Trumpetguy
- *trying not to be harsh* Well, I really appreciate the effort of making a hybrid, but sacrificing chassis protection for more weapons and motors doesn't mean it'll be better.

Lament Configuration - Jack Daniels
- One of the coolest looking bots in the tournament. However, if I were him I would've sacrificed some middle spikes and use Mag wedges instead.

Head Chef - Scrap Daddy
- Grey Matter can defeat two Steel Meatballs because it was able to rush to the yummy chassis before they fully spin up. But the obstacles can give it 2-3 seconds of additional time to spin up, the opponent must be low and fast enough if it wants to KO it (ahem, Naryar, ahem).

Hellish Charm - Urjak
- Hmmm... I think R0B0's wrong on this one. This is a SnS, not a SS. If it spins almost as fast as Destiny, it might win most of its matches through points.

Exponential Decaay - H@ZM47
- Head Chef's doppelganger. It should spin faster than Head Chef though, so it might fare better.

Sky High - R1885
- I doubt it's spinup time is quick enough to give those fast bots a hard initial hit. It will have a better chance against the slower bots, though. But with these heavily weaponed bots here, it might gyro dance its way OOTA once it loses a hammer.

Timber - Clickbeetle
- If its wedge is good enough, it can be a major PitA for the weaker shell here. I will clone its hammer setup one day for sure. :P

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.

GTFO Me - LiNcK
- As others say, this is essentially a bigger Daisy Might. We all know N12s look awesome, but Vlads could've been used and the drive might be too weak to counter the initial disk spin.

Blade Wave - Naryar
- I think Naryar is already 4 to R0B0's 1. And if this one has better wedges, it might extend its win streak again. Moreover, this one's low and fast enough to reach most of the bots' undersides. Expect a spot on the podium for this one.

Scramjet - Reier
- I can be considered as Faaip de Oiad's polar opposite. 10 FRICKIN' HAMMER 4s! This bot runs on OxiClean and all the parts are glued it using Might Putty. Billy Mays' soul is inside this bot. I can FEEL it.

Bob & Bill - Man Manu
- I don't care if they suck at combat. This pair wins the 'cutest bots' award. Period. *squee*

Destiny - System32
- I'm pretty sure it can be done with Technos and a longer weapon reach. But I'm not the SnS expert here, so I couldn't say much here.

Mammoth - Sage
- I don't think it can do well against shell, but it will surely be heck for the others to beat this beast.

So here's my top 5:
1. Naryar
2. R0B0SH4RK
3. Somebody
4. Urjak
5. H@zm47

Trap Master & Decoy - Doomkiller
- Both are very solid bots, but with the abundance of shell in this tourney, I doubt they will go far. Tough luck.



Sns are TTM/Decoy's weakness, they have a secret weapon against SS though.

in no particular order my picks for the 8 robots to gain a bye first round from qualifying

Faaip de Oiad

Pop ups can kill quickly so you can guess the rest

Blade Wave

The front is basically a gigantic cheese grater … nuff said

Bob & Bill

Despite what you may say about combat worthiness against super heavyweights a cluster bot is always going to do qualifying well

TTM & Decoy

Basically above ^^^

Super SnS

Its little but older brother got one of the quickest times in the new qualifying system in testing, one of the more mobile SnS robots

Scram Jet

Fast, small, compact and nippy all good qualities for hunting light weight robots

Total Controversy

The updated version with irons, look in the sky to see the lightweights

Grindhouse

Fast and plenty of weapons to munch up little lightweights

Well I like to think: More weapons = better bot :P

The Discs and Irons last pretty long, longer than the motors do.
The bot is popup and hammer food. But as you take the motors off, the bot becomes faster, thus increasing its effectiviness as a SnS. I have seen it win a match against Grog while having only one motor left.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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)

If anyone has watched the qualifiers, they'll know Xenophobik R. does not pull an Archy. Driving around like a drunk it never tipped over until it nicked the pit. And regarding Naryar: it's specially designed to kill shell spinners.

sorry for the delay of the final match I had to solve a few problems

Sage: Mammoth is now faster turning in the robot wars arena and even caught a nippy lightweight controlled by me

S32: you bot for some reason wouldnt move very much when being counted out but fixed that now

ROBO: tweaked the smartzone placement for better results, the robot also self rights with the flipper in style (I really love your robot lol)

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 06, 2009, 01:22:40 PM
PREDICTIONS TIME :O

Condor33 vs Somebody
Winner - Somebody
Despite C33 having more weapons, it will tumble around helplessly as soon as it loses one. Eight hammers also gives C33's big VS a chance though. A first round exit for the reigning champ wouldn't suprise me either.

Pwnator vs Trumpetguy
Winner - Pwnator
Again, my pick for the winner has less weaponry, but Pwn will win because of TG's huge chassis. Pwn's VS is also a superior bot in every single way except for weaponry.

System32 vs Scrap Daddy
Winner - Scrap Daddy
I think SD has more weapons, and in an all-spinner match, that is vital. S32 has big, exposed wheels too, which the Head Chef would just love to eat up. I can see this one being a bit of a yawner though.

LiNcK vs Urjak
Winner - LiNcK
LiNcK got a really good draw here. Even though Urjak's bot is better built, GTFO Me just has more weaponry. Barring any Daisy-Might-esque disk failures, Urjak's just going to get worn down.

MikeNCR vs  Craaig
Winner - MikeNCR
Although I don't think Grindhouse is as good as I get the sense many of you guys do, Craaig's Shinigami is just too awkward to be real effective. Grindhouse should just grind away at the wheels, then armoud, then chassis for the eventual win.

SomeStrangeGuy vs Russian Roulette
Winner - Russian Roulette
As I've said previously, weaponry is vital in an all-spinner match. RR should wear SSG's crazy bot down, but SSG has a legitimate shot at taking out RR's lower armour and wheels.

RedlineM203 vs H@zm47
Winner - H@zm47
H@z's bot will be very damaging, and Redline's isn't powerful enough to gut-rip it well. Red's only hope is to either pit it or throw it OOTA.

Flying Chao vs R1885
Winner - Flying Chao
I like Ribbs' idea, but I think that it's just too unstable and it's absolutely useless once a hammer goes. I don't really like FC's bot, but I think it'll pull out a WBP or a TKO.

Post by: Naryar on July 06, 2009, 04:25:58 PM
Ok, i'm re-writing my post...

Dark Matter:
-Obvious 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:
Won't really work well because of unstability and exposed drive.  Wedge is nearly insignificant.

Super SnSnS:
-GHEEEEYYYY but efficient. If it gets OOTA, the judge's decision will still make it lose even if it's not technically eliminated...

Total Controversy:
-Cool looking and a nice wedge, but not very dangerous as i see it. Not powerful enough to do real damage or flip it's opponent OOTA.

Shinigami:
-Cool, but the front isn't armored enough and bear claws fail as well (Normals).

Xenophobik Ressurketion:
-Destroyer clone. Will most likely pull an Archimandrite V on a big hit. 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 most likely get shredded by the heavier HS. It's still a good bot though.

MBTF:
-SFTW. Exposed chassis, random weapons, and ugly as well...

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

Head Chef:
-Most likely the best shell spinner out there. No bottom armor however... and not that powerful with a shell that heavy.

Hellish Charm:
-I think we all know Urjak's skill with flail spinners. Beware of this one...

Exponential Decay:
-Ass load of razors here... AND of axles, means stupid havok fest. Not badly built though, as well as a sweet name.

Sky High:
-That bot has AIDS because it is even more unstable than Destroyer. Failed against 2 tiny cubes and nearly got OOTA.

Timber:
-Unoriginal name... It's a shell spinner killer and there are a ton (literally) of shell in that tournament... Will get raped by any decent gut ripper though.

Faaip de Oiad:Aaaand... R0B0 enters AGAIN a popup in a DSL tourney !!! There's too much defense and not enough razors into that popup to make it a real killer. That's still a solid popup. We'll see how it fares.

GTFO ME: Unoriginal name and Daisy Might clone. It's not a complete failure, but seeing from the qualifications, it looks like it's really unstable... again, gut ripper bait.

Blade Wave: An attempt to mix cool looks, combat efficiency and originality. It pretty much succeeded, but it's not a killer. It gut-rips pretty slow as well...

Scramjet: I think someone said this before me, but this is basically a largely improved BrasOuvert. It will own as long at it keeps facing horizontal spinners. Possible champion for me.

Bob&Bill: Weak competitor. I can't see it winning matches.

Destiny: Not a very good name again... It's decently good, but would have been better with Techno's and more weapons.

Mammoth: I was going to make a bot named Mammoth for PREHISTORIC's Bot5... guess i have to change the name now :/ Well it's pretty nice. Anti-gut-ripping bot (R0B0 beware), but i's not powerful enough to threaten the legion the shell spinners.

I will be worn down eventually, but the time will go out before than, and I think the Vlad spikes do more damage than the hammers so I do not know how this will go.

About Urjak and LiNck- LiNcK out-weapons Urjak, BUT i am confident Urjak's weapons are much more damaging (not only with the DPs, but with the flails as well)..
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 06, 2009, 06:38:06 PM
dont know if tournament hosts usually do this but I want to join in... my picks

Somebody > Condor33

could go either way as Xenophobik's hammers are lower then SnS's but I think it will get toppled by SnS

Pwnator > Trumpetguy

people were saying the wedges are out dated but there better then an unwedged bot

Scrap Daddy > System32

I really couldnt pick this one, sure scrap has more weaponry but Head Chef also has to be the one making the moves

Urjak > LiNcK

the vlad spikes being on flails rather then static would mean they could get under the yawning ground clearance, also GTFO me has to make the move.

MikeNCR > Craaig

I dont know if Grindhouse will reach the chassis, and if you watch qualifying you would know pitting it out of the question, I would say the wheels would go however

SSG > Russian Roulette

One thing is for sure... its going to be a slow few matchs, cant really pick this one but SSG's bot cant be pitted which may be a deciding factor

H@z47 > RedlineM203

reds bot is one of may favorites in this tournament but H@z47 has basically 0 ground clearance so I suspect a wedge feast

R1885 > Flyig_Chao

could go either way, Please Die is either going to ram Sky High causing a front flip or go right up the wedge into the blade.

Post by: JoeBlo on July 06, 2009, 07:58:27 PM
just a heads up on the format for the battle if you haven't caught it

2/3 matches each going for 2 min

if one bot wins 2 straight there will be no 3rd match

starting positions a randomly selected (either near the flipper or near the pit)

after the first battle the positions are swapped for the second

then swapped back for the 3rd (if applicable)



Somebody vs Condor33 will be up soon

Yup, But if his spikes hit my hammers that means my hammers also hit his spikes, Soo.. Its about the HP?

Also, GTFO Me sometimes looses control like in the start of the Qualifying Matches, and all the frontal part gets exposed... This happens only for several seconds tough ;P

Aggro Cube (the red qualifying bot I believe) does it because the chassis is baby sized.
Wheely Big Cheese does it because of the burst motor. Doesn't like getting things grappled between the static flipper base and the flipping arm.
Xenophobik Resurrektion lost its front support.

I'll tell you guys what, I'm feeling cocky right now for some reason.
 
I have been kicking myself, wondering if I had built the bot decently to begin with, if I could have taken the win. Well, I'm tired of wondering. Pending the approval of JoeBlo, I will put Surprise! v2 up against the winner of Clash Cubes 2.

Well, JB, what do you say?

you know the AI pack ??? the thing I started a thread about ? you posted in it ? that's why its getting built lol feel free to help out with the stuff I need and it will come quicker

I might think about it but now I have a losers bracket to contend with, I have a feeling your bot may fall pray to one of the SnS/SS like scrap, haz or somebody

speaking of which I have an idea in mind for CC3 that may potentially stop SnS dominance in Clash Cubes :icon_twisted:

I'm actually leaning towards Ribbs on this one. VSs aren't that nice to rammers, and FC's wedge looks inferior.
But R1 better knock FC OOTA the arena or something before he loses a hammer.

I think it will gave that chassis a good wack on the way, not to mention its a very difficult robot to pin (tends to flail around the arena) guess time will tell

you dont know how many times I re did that bot lol I moved it further back for the irons (after he updated it from wedges) but due to the shorter length moving the smartzone back reduced the usefulness of the wedges... I think it was AI'd ok H@z nearly when oota a few times but like you said that thing just didn't want to go oota

But how come the bot's stable during the qualifying?
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 11, 2009, 05:57:56 AM
I don't quite know it was fully stable prior... It may have had something to do with targeting an opponent closer in qualifying... I believe the first flying around was the robot was spinning the weapon before it touched the ground at the start of the match (the starting drop is a little higher on the rw arena then others)

as soon as that bot goes over however there is no coming back it will never make it back on its wheels

Great work JoeBlo; Grindhouse vs. Shinigami was especially good.

What program are you using to make the videos?  It's not regular Windows Movie Maker is it?  Because I didn't think you could do those little animations like you have on the bot intro screens.

Looks like I'm fighting Exponential Decay for my first fight.  Good.  I think Timber has a better chance against a shell spinner than a wedgy flipper.  That 250cm disc has a lot of HP, though... it's probably going to be close.  At least I'll definitely get in a few hits with the hammer.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 12, 2009, 02:02:26 AM
good ole windows movie maker.. the animations and such I made in flash and used a program to convert them from .flv to .avi so windows movie maker could handle them. (sadly they lagged a bit after conversion they did start out originally smooth transitions)

on the last match debate LRA2 R1885s bot it actually rather stable except initial spin up this it because of the drop is a little higher in the rw arena then others and the wedges were hitting the ground first.. but the last robot I think R1885s needed was a fast rammer as it kept tipping the bot.. close match (if you looked at the damage of 'please die') and defiantly nomination for best moment

Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos

The rules on the site say the havok is counted if it affects the other robot - which it did.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 13, 2009, 10:38:48 AM
I cut the match to the point of the Havok's but Scamjet pretty much lost after the first Havok (he was leading points and then Scrap got him big time after the havok meaning scrap one the match on points) and the second time Reier was stuck in the ground.. I don't like the decision as much as the next person (except perhaps reier) but I have to follow the rules.. cant bend them for one person
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Sage on July 13, 2009, 10:52:47 AM
Well I thought you fixed the AI problems but if you take a look at 1:20 of the second math vs. pwnator clearly my bot is not stuck on anything, has both wheels, and plenty of battery life left. oh well, I still won.


Good match Pwnator.

Post by: JoeBlo on July 15, 2009, 08:26:55 AM
one problem I think COPE had was SSG ai'd it to wait until another robot is in range... against a fast bot its hard to spin up in time... I AI'd destiny with FBS_1 so it would spin up with the opponent still on the other side of the arena.

Timber vs ED will be great im going to start filming it now.. unsure when it will be up.

Post by: somestrangeguy on July 15, 2009, 09:14:07 AM
I didnt for some reason even think about that I would be facing fast bots so I made it to spin up when the other bot is close enough...

Edit: the turns are 60 and 2.5 in other words the defaults (why is it everyone criticizes my AIing when Im experienced at it yet no one said anything in cc1 when i was learning) I think you will find the arena is a issue and the robots avoid passing over the drop zone, flipper and pit.

Well i think i can win against Haz (either gut-ripping him enough to remove the Dual Perm, either i can make him forfeit by havok), then i'll most likely get raped by Doomkiller, and i have my bets on Reier getting into the finals.

So yes, i hope we can clash again in the loser's bracket finale (even if i doubt this will come true), but i really didn't get how that losers bracket wins.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 16, 2009, 04:27:17 AM
the losers bracket will be filled up with round 1 and 2 losers so after that point its do or die..

the only way for you and ROBO to face off now is for you to win the winners bracket and ROBO wins the losers bracket then the winner will get the tittle of Clash Cubes champion..

the advantage of being in the winners bracket is that you stand to win more prizes (you gain a prize for making the semis and then one for each round you win from there)

while the losers bracket will only gain a prize for winning the bracket and then for winning the grand final

When the AI pack comes out, I know it'll just be pics of Nary's bot beating R0B0's bot (or vice versa), and a big HA HA HA.

I never knew Timber can flip bots OOTA. o_O

Neither did I. o_O

It's smashed shell spinners hard enough to make them Mauler dance and flip over plenty of times, but I've never seen one flip that high.  Maybe something to do with how much mass it has spinning relative to the chassis and drive.  Either that or a partial Havok.

But alas, Timber needs more frontal armor... I underestimated how powerful SHW shell spinners can be.  If Timber could have got in a few more hits, I could have just kept taking off ED's side panels until it destabilized.

Also good fighting by Bob and Bill.  I didn't think they would stand a chance against Somebody, but they were just two chassis hits away from a win in that first round.

Edit: Aw crap, looks like I get ROBO in the losers bracket.  Even if I get under him (which I'm not confident I can do), he's got armor plates as well as his weapon protecting the chassis... going to be a tough fight for me :(

in qualifying Timber through Monster Cube oota as it drove on top of the hammer as it was retracting. awesome bot click :-D
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Clickbeetle on July 16, 2009, 10:00:22 PM
Yup I saw that, it has a lot of torque when it's retracting too.

At least I succeeded in entering an entertaining bot, if not a winning one.  But maybe I can still get lucky.

If FdO can drive straight, I'm in good shape. If not, I better hope that Titanium 10 and some disk panels are enough to stop a bot that resembles a demented giraffe during mating season...

I had a close look and I believe your right.. Timber was so powerful that when it smashed ED on the pit the Floor go pushed downward but as the pit was not open it bounced back up helping to catapult ED... what a bot click :-D

Post by: Naryar on July 17, 2009, 10:34:26 AM
PREDICTIONS TIME!

Somebody over Sage: Super SnS is more powerful, and Mammoth's weapon doesn't carries enough KE to throw Super SnS OOTA. SSnS will repeatedly hit Mammoth's drum and probably win by points.

Reier over Urjak: Reier out-weapons Urjak's bot and has enough drive to pin it in a corner. Plus, Hellish Charm can havok but not Scramjet, and with the havok rule...

Doomkiller over MikeNCR : Just like my bot, Grindhouse's wheels are horribly exposed, and a perfect target for a dual gut-ripper multibot that i think can make it to the finals.

Myself over H@zm47 : I'm taking a wild guess here and saying Blade Wave can either gut-rip successfully Exponential Decay, rip off a motor, get a havok, either rip off enough axles to get another havok, and i think i can make him forfeit by havok. Won't probably get a WBP, and in no way i can KO it with Ti halfplates under it's chassis. I'm pretty much afraid that if he doesn't havoks, i'm toast.

Losers Bracket

Flying_Chao over Craaig: Vertical spinners doesn't always have the edge over rammers, and Shinigami's not powerful enough to toss such a rammer. However, Please Die can get Craaig's bot (rather unstable bot, by the way) OOTA or rip off the Dual Perm.

R0B0SH4RK over Clickbeetle: This fight mostly comes to who has the better wedge and i am absolutely sure R0B0 has. Plus, FdO's more stable and faster than Timber.

Pwnator over Jack Daniels: I know huge-ass single FS like that reduce horribly the bot's wedginess, even if the wedge is very well built - ask Monstruosity. Pwn WILL out-wedge Jack, tear it's bot to shreds and get the win.

Condor33 over Trumpetguy: While C33's bot is naturally unstable and will most likely pull off an Archimandrite, TG's bot is MUCH slower (blame the neglected weight distro on a VS) and has a weaker weapon - flight lessons guaranteed.

System32over Man Manu: Similar to MM's previous fight.

Ribbs over Russian Roulette: Ribbs has luck, he's fighting a SnS, an easy fight for a VERY powerful VS when you have a near-immobile opponent. Sky High will probably toss Hypercube OOTA or on it's back... if he doesn't gets OOTA by itself *cough*.

Scrap Daddy over SSG: And another match JoeBlo will like to film ! Scrap's bot is more powerful, that's the main thing.

Redline over Linck: Well Redline's bot did managed to damage a halfsheet-armored shell spinner last match, and a pretty well built one. However, this time he's fighting a particularly unprotected horizontal spinner, and an unstable one. While his weaponed flipper isn't very powerful, it will be enough to gut-rip Linck's small unprotected chassis to death.

Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Reier on July 17, 2009, 11:02:37 AM
Somebody vs Sage: Somebody.
What Nar said.

Reier vs Urjak: Draw
I really have no idea.

MCNR vs Doomkiller: Doomkiller.
Exposed wheels, FSs aren't very good with 1+ opponents, I'll hand the win to Doom here.

H@zm47 vs Naryar: H@zm47 barely
Either Nar could punch through H@z's armor, or H@z could knock Nar off to the side with every blow. Flails are also very good at getting WBPs too. But I'm not sure.

F_C vs Craaaaiaiaiaiag: FC
VS can OOTA rammers, (boy, I learned that lesson in BBEANS) but Craaig's disk diamiter is so small it will have problems. Plus, FC's hammers are kinda narrow in the way they're arranged, so Craaig will have some problems getting a hold of them. FC wins here.

CB vs R0B0: R0B0
CB's bot is awsome. But he falls flat if his wedges aren't as good as his opponent's, and I'm pretty sure they aren't. I really want it to win though... =(

JD vs Pwnator: Draw
I'm pretty sure JD has the better wedge, but who knows.

Condor33 vs Trumpetguy: C33
Archy fest, But I'm pretty sure C33 will pull off a win here.

System32 vs Mainmanmenumanumanthing: S32
S32 spins even faster than SuperSNS and has a smaller diameter, so there's less of a chance of it getting flipped up in the air on a collision.

Ribbs vs Russian: Actually Russian
If Ribbs runs into the ninja effect he did earlier, he's toast.

SSG vs Scrap Dadday: SD
Flails are point machines.

Linck vs Redline: Red
Small chassis, weak drive? If Red gets in fast enough, Linck is down.

I'm not sure that Decoy can be called a gut-ripper, because it has a wedge on both sides, which prevents bots from sitting on top of the drum.

it never really surfaced.. but Somebody made another SHW bot and the plan was to showcase super SnS and make everyone else believe that it was his actual bot until the splash came out (just a bit of a fun practical joke) but his actual entry was deemed slightly illegal so he just entered Super SnS

as for Somebody's entry.. I wont relieve his secrets but he used a lot of smartzones for a use other then AIing... not a rule I really addressed to it was a little bit of an exploited loophole but I came to the concluesion it really wasnt too fair on other bots

HA!  TIMBER IS UNKILLABLE.  Even with just 3mm plastic armor.

...Of course, that doesn't count for much when you can't deal any return blows.

Good fight R0B0.

Dark horse of this tourney=Shinigami.  It's always entertaining and surprisingly good at hitting the opponent's weakest point.

Also, I'm surprised that Sky High got a win.  I thought that bot would be too unstable.  I guess one hit is sometimes all it takes.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 24, 2009, 01:37:59 AM
You too, Click. Timber's just so awkward, it's near impossible for a popup to land a good, clean chassis hit, and FdO's heavily armoured and quick enough to render Timber's huge hammer basically useless. It was never going to be an entertaining fight at least :P

I just wish that I didn't have to cheer against Timber this early. It's a sweet looking bot.

Heh, I know it'll be worth the wait. And I do know it's theorically the same amount of time as BBEANS. But on a conscious level (or something like that) it's not so good to be last. It's like being last in the queue. You still get it, it's just inconvenient/annoying to wait longer.

Not a havok retard. Unless you can't remember, a Havok is when a removed motor leaves an energy pocket. This is a case where a Flipper fires at the perfect time.

I agree. Hellish Charm can't be low enough and Scramjet's hammers can't be high enough for a launch like that. And the 2nd match can serve as a pretty good example of what 'hanging on' truly is. :D

Post by: JoeBlo on July 25, 2009, 08:46:35 AM
if it was it was really well covered up... basically I have looked over it and (the usual) no parts had come off bots, FRAPS rate was constant (it usually fluctuates in havoks) I think it wasn't so much Hellish Charm but ScramJets run up.... take a look at Doomkiller vs SSG... so many times TTM or Decoy nearly go out the arena after a charge... its just a thing i have noticed when fast robots ram spinners

Edit: also on the pit thing I forgot to say... I was going to call it the same as Yayoi vs LRA2 but when I do that it goes by points and Urjak had it either way so save the extra editing I just left it

yeah static weaponry makes a better APD.. but like I said before If I called it like COID the result would have been the same so I just cut back some time

I'm still not convinced about the outcome of the first match but it's your call after all.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on July 25, 2009, 09:32:43 AM
ok I looked over the video a few times and then conducted an investigation with the following attributes



Conclusion... I have found that Hellish Charm was able to pick up ScramJet a few times.. so combined with the speed ScramJet was charging at... it was mostly luck ScramJet ended up were it did in battle one but legit none the less

Mammoth is a cool bot too, in a different way.  It's a less original design (though still by no means unoriginal), but the sheer size of the thing--and the uncountable number of teeth on the drum--make it cool.  I'm not sure who I'd pick for a Coolest Bot award.

Also, that last flip by Total Controversy deserves an instant replay.  Havok-induced or not, it was spectacular.

With the Reier/Urjak thing,

*Sides with Reier*: It was really gay that even when on top of the pit, Hellish Charm was unable to fall in, and then to have Scram Jet charge it and fall into the pit even though Hellish Charm had been sitting on top unable to move seems a little bit gay to me. Even though it cant be changed I do think something about the pits should, since SHWs are bigger than most bots.

on the Urjak v Reier match the match was to be called a draw (both bots were pitted) and in that event goes to points but as Urjak would win either way I didn't bother making those edits in the video (slow upload speeds and all that) but I did specify this earlier on in the topic

Heh. I knew I shouldn't have made it too easy (yep, DM2 is in the works for Nary's AI), but I did expect that when I made a Destroyer clone (mine sent DM OOTA in about 10 seconds). XD

Great match, C33 (I got a better Tag Team bot in the works). Kinda disappointed that DM didn't get a single hammer out of XR, though. :P

That was a great match! All the ones I've been in sans Super SNS have been really short. Unfortunately, next round is Faip De Diad, and I have no defense against popups. I wish I'd stuck a tite half sheet on my chassis...

In a head-on collision, I think XR actually has a hand up on FdO, because of that little plate that FdO has protecting it's bursts. If XR gets a hold of that, FdO'll get punted around quite easily because of it's small size. That being said, if I get under XR, he's pretty much finished.

I likely will include them for it (surpirse V2 wont be included however) but this time around I am going to go for a voting system rather then personal choice

XR had a huge design advantage over FdO. I honestly didn't think that I was going to win that one, and it turns out I was right...

By the time I got you in a position to do some serious damage, you'd already ripped all of my razors off.

You guys are also getting much better at designing popup thwarting bots. The next tourney DSL though, I'll have something different... finally :P

*climax of movie* its over... the SnS rein is over... the world is now free from there grasp.. their king has been slain

sorry guys but you will have to wait a tiny bit longer as I am spending a lot of time editing the grand final to make it something really special :-D

Edit: just to make people think with some interesting facts, grindhouse beat super SnS and super SnS beat Xenophobik will it work like a rock paper scissors type outcome or a food chain type outcome ;-)

I think the only way I'm gonna kill Grindhouse is by ejecting him repeatedly. He just has too many weapons, even for my 400 KG of hammers.
Title: Clash Cubes 2 - Brackets and Videos
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on August 04, 2009, 11:46:21 AM
I have to admit, I really didn't think that Mike would do well. Never underestimate a BBEANS ex-champ then I guess.

The finals should be good. I can see viable scenarios where both bots could win.

Wow, MikeNCR does really good at tournaments.  Champion in BBEANS2, Finalist and possible Champion for Clash Cubes 2, Semi-Finalist and possible Finalist (Champion?) in BBEANS5...

There's a trend here.  What's his secret, I wonder?

Great final matches.  The showdown with Grindhouse and Super SnS couldn't have been more epic.  It's like when T-Minus beat Hazard in the last Battlebots, except with Hazard putting up more of a fight.

Grindhouse vs. XR will all depend on whether or not XR can flip Grindhouse.  If it can, it will either tear it to pieces or toss it OOTA.  If it can't, Grindhouse will slowly chew away its hammers until it's too unbalanced to do anything.

The way I approach tournaments may play a role in it. I don't necessarily try to build the best robot possible, I try to build one that's a good fit for the arena and tournament format, Copyright Infringement sorta being the exception, as I was trying to build a 36iron and didn't finish a proper one 'till after entries closed.

Smashbox- Fast and flippy for an arena with low walls and no other hazards
Grindhouse- Low-ish, lots of teeth/damage per second, stable and well armored for a tournament with lots of high powered but somewhat unstable bots. It was also plan B after being disappointed with a SuperSmashbox attempt.

Then there's the general DSL approach I take of "If I had real world versions of these parts, how would I build it"

Grindhouse vs Xenophobik Resurrektion *****
its here the final encounter, Xenophobik Resurrektion lost to Super SnS, Super SnS lost to Grindhouse how will this pan out, the predictions are slightly in favor of Grindhouse...two very destructive and very mobile robots... this is DSL at its best, an epic encounter and the robots can deliver the goods. both are capable of winning the second the other puts a foot wrong. Hold on for one last time as Clash Cubes 2 goes off with a BANG!

just click the finals box on either bracket to view the Clash Cubes 2 Grand Final

also (youtube is out to get me) the stupid copyright thing has blocked the video everywhere except: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Guam, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, United States Virgin Islands. so I hope everyone still gets to see it, if not let me know asap :-D

This is, in my opinion, the best tournament. CC1 and CC2 were both great, and having the cubic limitation makes for some cool robots.

The only thing that slightgly bugged my about this tournament was that the people who lost the first round had the ability to win the tournament, but the people who lost on round 2, 3, or 4 did not. This seemed slightly unfair.

Still though, great tournament. Looking forward to CC3!

I don't know what you're trying to say. Unless you mean that bots that should been in the later rounds were knocked out early, leaving bots that shouldn't of made it so far?

Post by: Urjak on August 05, 2009, 02:59:29 PM
I am saying that only the first round losers were given a second chance after they lost, and then if they did well in their brackets, they could win the tournament. The same does not apply to robots who lost in the second, third or fourth rounds.

actually DK made the losers bracket using the original 16 bracket I made for him I just put them all into the one image to make it neater for him... its not my involvement.

also the way the brackets were ran gave everyone a shot at 2 matches from then on it was do or die.. dont forgot it beats CC1 with just straight rounds and no losers bracket. but dont worry I have something Big in store for clash cubes 3 (but its a longer wait then how quickly I made cc2)

The Grand Finale was awesome, I don't mean to sound slow but does this mean Condor won the whole tournment or just the Grand finale? Any ways thanks for making the Wildcard Bracket because you really didn't have to but you were mad cool about it and did it anyway:-D. Also thanks for the Grudge match to and you also didn't have to do that either:-D. I learned alot from building my first bot and also from my first tourney experiance. I got  the feel on how tourneys are run and also got to see alot people cool ideas for their bots and the the type of strategy everybody used on building their bots. Thanks for my first tourney experiance:approve:.

don't forget that you only have to get into thew semis to get in the prize selection were in the losers bracket you have to make the final for a prize selection so there was an advantage, but this was a lot of work to pull off (original plan was no losers bracket) so please don't be so critical of it

I think the criticism about the bracket was fair. It was a bit...odd that competitors that lost in the first round got to move on while others that lost later were eliminated right away, but hey, now you know what to fix for next time :)

I still think that you ran a top-notch tourney JB, but stuff can always be improved.

Post by: man manu on August 06, 2009, 04:52:23 AM
Yeah great tourney Joe. Thanks alot. But against your arguements of the losers bracket I would say that are you a loser if you have won a match? Compare it to the 'Can't be out first bowl' rule that kids play when playing cricket. If you get out first bowl you get to stay in but if you're out second then you're out. It's only to give the people that lost first round another few matches so they can get completely involved in the tourney. Just my view. Thanks again for a great tourney Joe.

What if in CC3, The competitors are divided in 2 ways:
Pros & Noobs.

Noobs bBacket: 32 Entrants
Pros Bracket: 16 Entrants (Since there alot ALOT more Noobz than pros :P)

Could be basically Reemplacing the Losers Bracket with the Pros bracket, And making the Main Bracket the Noobs bracket, The winner of the Noob Bracket has a chance of fighting each one of the 2 Finalists (After the Winner of the pros Bracket was decided)

If he PWNZ both hes a Pro and should be banned for squizzing in the Noobs Bracket!! >:C
Jk :P

If he PWNZ one of the Pros, He would be concidered a "Pro" and may not join the Noobs Bracket for the next CC
 (If its also gonna be like that)

-Yes, I just wanna have a chance of winning anything by not going against the Pros xD

Post by: Urjak on August 06, 2009, 04:27:26 PM
How do you distinquish between pros and non-pros to begin with? And how would you really know? BBEANS has often been won by rookies. It isn't a bad idea though.

Post by: LiNcK on August 06, 2009, 05:27:03 PM
Well, Dudes that loose the whole time, By the Interior and stuff of their bot...
Could be divided into "Bad Bots" & "Good Bots".

The crappy buildt bots would go against eachother...
The Pros are never gonna make a suckish bot, So obiously, theyre gonna be in the "Good Bots" section, And there, You got a Bracket.

Would need more than one guy to judge if its a crappy or a good bot tough :P

ok I understand a few people had trouble with the grand final so I uploaded a copy to the file factory for anyone to download**

 Grand Final  (http://filefactory.com/file/ah01270/n/Clash_Cubes_2_Grand_Final_zip)

** unfortunately the quality had to be reduced so the upload and downloading of it would be such a massive feat
