Clash of the Titans - Splash, Brackets, and Videos

[Scorpion]

The middle post doesn't have a collision mesh, so robots fit right underneath if you make them thin enough. No BFE required. And there IS a loser's bracket, so 123 isn't out yet.

Goody! 

And I thought it was the arena, although shouldn't that post be in spoilers considering there's quite a few people offline who won't have seen it ;P

Edit: like thyrus    Infact no, I shouldn't laugh at your misfortune there thyrus.

Well now it looks like we need some with a bot that can to either just get hide up a bit to get hit by the blade or brute power to ram the arena bade hard enough to hit Hide.


Nice tactic but I see easy counters there EG a flipper with a long wedge.

[Thyrus]

well... it`s just a reason for not liking germany. That and the censorship of games and movies.

All the flippers will follow it through though and get hit by the blad anyway, and then get distracted by seek enough for hide to, well, hide.
That said, i'm still dubious of seek, I swear that thing must have some very dark secret, it seemed like the more mysterious one 
And looking at the splash again, there's only really one bot that's as thin as hide, and it's built badly and by a moron

  If you say so. Maybe it was not such a bad idea. Almost hoping you'll face him just to take out Hide. I admit it I have doubts if DHV2 will be able to down Hide with him hiding like that, though it is using tactics and I like that. I think I may have said to much.

OK I put my post in spoilers.

Also, in that match in the intro where Hide goes under the spinner, I let that match go out and Ultra Bulldozer ended up winning it. Its possible.

[martymidget]

Spinners will get eaten alive by the blade (though I could imagine something like deathstar getting at it. But since theres none of those in this tourney..). A hammer with a ridiculously long reach could, theoretically get at it. A rammer might be able to as well.

Hide is a genius bot though. Though it is a pity to see 123 in the LB so early...though we would be saying the same about Click. :P

[SKBT]

Hide and Seek have an awesome strategy. That was entertaining to watch. Also what song was used in the video?

[Naryar]

Uh... how is this realistic exactly ?

[Scorpion]

It's clever but naughty isn't it?
The bot itself is realistic, but it's tactic isn't 

[Little lost bot]

Its making use of tactics and do to the arena's blade bar to blade not being there, I thinks its fair play. I tactics being used (Don't know why a lot of people hate them) it adds to the fun of watching and playing for me.

[Naryar]

I think it's awfully cheap, though as an intellectual and deliciously amoral person I should congratulate Clickbeetle on abusing loopholes for fun and profit.

Sigh, i should just get RID of all my standards and morals altogether, then build new ones according to logic.

[Somebody]

Yup arena was chosen from the start. Any of you could have used the tactic with a realistic robot just like Click did. Fitting that the naughtiest robot in the tournament was revealed on Christmas eh? 



Also, that was Let There Be Rock by AC/DC for the main song, and Heavy by Collective Soul for the intro.

Good luck with that, but as I've said before, you will inevitabley fail.
Ofcourse, if you were to try and rebuild your morals on more "evil" standards, you'd be a lot closer to your goals in the eyes of many...

And Nary, if you wanted to enter the realism fight, I could argue about your robot and its hundreds of razor tips.

My bot is DSL realistic, you accepted it. But Click's tactic is completely unrealistic.

It's technically DSL realistic.
I think you're just a bit jealous Nar

Nah its tactics every one hates them.

The match was VERY interesting. I like the idea of Hide's tactics, but I do think they clash with the realistic rule, what with driving through the blade shaft and all. I mean, if we have to build bots under the Realistic Rule, should the same thing not apply to arenas?
