It could be that they hit the walls first, then you put the wall actually falling on a delay, a bit like the Hell Raisers in the Starcore V3 Arena.

Im not going to be changing the arena mechanics mid tournament.. they are intended to just be breakable walls

Ill try adding some weight to them and a tiny bit of elasticity so the robots will hit it and stay in bounds and the wall will drop straight down (not everything fly outwards)

Should work if they are heavy enough.. its like throwing a robot at a non fixed piece of polycarb and a non fixed brick wall.. they would bounce off the wall but push the polycarb..

It seems my plan has worked, not only are taz bot weapons useful for damaging robots on different sides, but can get under stuff as well!

*Ahem* I never died, I just got lost in the arena.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

So I get Naryar for my first fight... probably the better of the two bots for me.  Whipscorpion consistently beat AntonYYYm in testing, and Tiger Uppercut is slower, so I'm confident I can win.  However, I also know that Whipscorpion is all too prone to OOTAing itself at random, so I'm not quite as confident that I WILL win.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Walls have been fixed.. and to make sure they could handle the blow I got the fastest oota situation possible :P



You may also notice the walls dropped through the outer floor.. well after seeing some robots stuck on the outside but not getting eliminated (not low enough) I thought the chances of another driving oota trying to attack it was possible, so the outer floor collision was removed too..

If the wall now manages to fall entirely it can benefit me more than a small wall arena.

Though what is this stronger wall you are talking about ? Do the walls now need a higher amount of kinetic energy to fall out ?

I suddenly have a bad feeling...

lol you havent been following correctly..

The walls always dropped completely away.. as you can see in the video the robots stay in play even after being heavily smashed into the walls.. in round 1 that would just fly through the walls and oota in one hit..
