Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

SM vs RR and 123 vs Doom were great.


Probably me being ignorant, but don't Overkill blades have one-sided normals? Why was SnSnS spinning the wrong way. It probably does damage on both sides, I'm just wondering.

Some pretty good fights there. =] I do still think the Arena's a little too easy to score OOTA's in, though. But that should make it fun and unpredictable.

Im pretty sure thats the spin direction it was given to me but will look at it..

I thought they were 2 sided on the Y axis

Awesome work on the videos JB, and my predictions are already being proven wrong...

ok here is the verdict

*SnS in the video was spinning the blades in the direction overkill uses them (thus the "sharp side")
*SnS that SB sent spun the other way with the jiggered side hitting robots
*The Overkill Text file listed the Normals as True 0 1 0 the True indicating it damages both ways (otherwise it would be False 0 1 0)

upon testing the damage is identical both ways BUT I have noticed the robot is less stable in impacts using the sharp side as the spin direction.. so that warrants a refilm (sorry scorps) since SB intened it to spin the other way (its just the number in the binding line that defines the spin direction, made the AI spin it the other way..)

It has nothing to do with the normals but the fact I uncovered that the AI spun SB's robot the wrong way which it was less stable.

the line in the bindings was

'direction':1,

when it should have been

'direction':-1,

Match refilmed

LB draws are up

I made up a new system for filling the Losers bracket so there wasn't a pile of rematches in round 2 (which is what would have happened if I followed the bracket template)

Which reminds me..

Since you guys all made robots that threw other robots at the walls harder then my test robot I am going to have a go at improving the walls (I have an idea how to do it) so there is actually a second chance if you hit them like it was intended.
