FFS, my sis is too good...

Not sure about you, but the hammers seemes WAAAAAAAY overpowered in her match. No way that LiNcK's frontal defense should have fallen off that easily. Perhaps Joe could shed some light on this?

My theory was that the DSL bars were causing damage as well when they hit the Tite Sheet, but I still think that's a bit of a stretch.

don't tite sheets have low HP?

Unless Sage meddled with them they are completely standard...

For all my tournaments I extract a new DSL 2.1 and put the AI into it..

That's Halfsheets you're thinking of. A regular Titanium sheet weight 30kg and has 12,000HP. A Halfsheet is half the weight, but only has a third of the health.

What I've noticed before when using tite sheets is that if the sheet is attached on something like a poly extender off of the skirt hinge, then the poly extender generally takes damage through the sheet and falls off, taking the sheet with it.

Thanks SB for that info..

LiNcK's robot uses a poly extender to hold the sheet so its a good chance that happened..

Its like half sheets on the bottom of the chassis, they dont deflect everything.. perhaps its due to the collision mesh being so thin?

Tip from now on would be when attaching Half sheets like that, attach directly to skirt hinges..

Still, how the

is my sister dong so well?
Also, I hope Redline eliminates her finally.

Somebody · « **Reply #669 on:** August 15, 2011, 09:41:27 AM »

Probably not. Hammer rammers usually beat rammers with smaller weapons.

Could this be... the first ever time a wedgeless rammer has beaten a popup? I can't think of any other rammers that have beat popups in official tournament matches. It's practically a given that popups always beat rammers.

RA2 history in the making!

Also...

This is getting ridiculous now...

JoeBlo · « **Reply #677 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:05:38 AM »

lol.. so I take it you wont be getting your sister to enter BBEANS 7 then?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #678 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:21:46 AM »

No, not at this rate.

NFX · « **Reply #679 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:30:19 AM »

I think it's quite good that your sister's doing well, it's showing that she has potential, and this might offer her incentive to sign up to GTM.

Another thing I think this shows is that simpler designs can still work. Green Pea's run puts me in mind a little bit of Valid Query 2, there were a whole host of better-built bots in the field, but it still managed to keep winning. There's no doubt in my mind that S_M has the better bot in terms of build quality and complexity, but that doesn't necessarily translate into combat, as we've seen.
