When Robot Fly, Robot Win!
:claping
Woah. It appears I vastly underestimated the power of a trinity sns. GJ wen!
On the one hand, I want to root for Wen as he is the underdog, but on the other hand, he did enter with an SnS.
Looking at the bracket now. Kinda scared, but I don't expect to go far in a rumble setting. Then again, I don't really care as I wanted to enter something that was actually fricking original for once, unlike most people here.
my robot's pretty terrible by the way, for some reason i seem unable to build a good hs
That KO on Storm Shock was nasty af
Wen is gonna win this tourney because he made an sns, isn't he?
I jumped out of my seat when Wen KO-ed Storm Shock
Holy sh** lol
Something Brexit something thanks Yugitom something.
Glad I got to play Kingmaker somewhat. Even if it meant my inevitable raping by either Wen or Geice.
Wen is gonna win this tourney because he made an sns, isn't he?
If he does, it will because nobody actually make a SnS/HS killing popup/make a heavy weaponed HS, not because he made a SnS fam.
If you are wondering why the FPS went to sh** and I skipped forward in the footage because it was going at about 5 fps, it had something to do with Eddy losing a tribar.
Good to see RedAce's entry going through. The hammer got screwed over so hard by Eddy's spikeball tho
Well then. I thought Lightning's Popup or Silverfish's HS would have destroyed my drive, but I got real lucky for actually having weapons to deal with the weaponless remainder of the fight.
gg guys. Not looking forward to the rest as I have to deal with a meltybrain SnS, and potentially two popups.
Ra2, where having a cool looking bot means you will go out first, because all that matters is max efficiency, RIP. I also totally forget how this is a group rumble so RIP popup.
You CLEARLY didn't watch Tot2.
But, in some matchups, yes, it doesn't do too well.
That Tournament was either before I joined or in the time where I took a break from the forum, so yes, I haven't seen it.

While mine is a popup I did focus on other things(namely, getting the chassis wedge flat, having two wedges and a wide bot so that HS don't hit sides/have better turning) which efficiency people would probably call useless. If I really went for a efficient popup I could've copied a Starcore one that finishes bots in one hit instead of this design which requires at least 3, if not 4 hits to win.
Also liking your entry, welcome to the VS club!

ok
anyway I didn't know this was rumble format, I'm facing 3 other popups so im probably dead
I forgot about it as well, at least your bot is a popup as well so it's a complete popup heat.
my robot's pretty terrible by the way, for some reason i seem unable to build a good hs
aw man, sucks to hear that, what's exactly the problem? I can imagine that the wheels aren't touching the ground. So I think Wen might have this one if his SNS doesn't stop spinning like it already did in some matches
Jonzu's Popup, Thrack's HS and that nice Flipper all in the same heat as mine, what is this madness.
Round 2:
So Buzz is a side popup, only using a Snapper 2 which explains where the weight for the motors comes from, interesting, sadly it had trouble against the hammer and got flipped over from a Havok, it was low on hp so I don't think that much would've happened.
Redace's bot(by the way interesting that you had a similar chassis texture to Hi5er's :P ) pulled a Warhead but later got back over.
What the heck was up with Eddy, removing the head of every bot by havoking around and then lagging the game as it was about to lose, Silverfish your bot is a cheating wizard :mrgreen:
I would've said "Stock Hammer problem" but you can't really do much when a bot flies though the air and cuts off your hammer, Redace's bot luckily still had the spikes and dealed enough points before
Round3:
TA3 took on Badger's bot while the other two fought, TA3 then messed up Badger's further after a little split and somehow turned it's back to Starburst 3 who then finished it from behind, just to finish off what was left by Badger's bot. By the way, did we ever find out what caused white/non texture smoke?
Round4:
Man you're fast uploading those, I can already see my bot on the back in the thumbnail so I expect a loss. It started well for me, my bot rushing into the chaos that was the other bots, Thrack's never really got going and was later stuck on itself(wheels not touching the ground). Bot got nicely under the flipper and ripped one of the wedges off, then attacked Jonzu's, mine then got flipped around but did bounce back onto it's wheels, attacking Jonzu's again after a bit but getting flipped and kinda doing a wheely which then resulted on a flip on the arena side. Of course for some reason my AI bots just always have the curse to fall out of the arena themselves.
Oh well at least people can't complain about it being a generic popup anymore.
It could have? :P
That was like the worst way to go out. Better luck next time man.

i could have havoked OOTA, it was a major havok bomb in my testing
Remember, Wen still has to face the winner of the loser's bracket before he can be crowned king.
I got rekt so hard
wen's gonna win

I love Eddy methodically dissecting SANTA CLAUS OPENS FIRE. XD
whoops, i really was trying to add some variety to the entries by submitting a popup. i thought most entries would be hs or sns - sure the arena has low walls but those bots should still do the best in rumbles
it was at least fun to watch my bot rampage through rumble 2 in loser's round 1. also wen's bot may be anti-fun but his charisma has won our hearts :heart_smiley:

That one wasn't too bad minus screwing over Redace's bot, but that's what the HS would've done anyways. It didn't completely deweapon the two bots that are left with one havok.
just got here, these are going up fast

Do you have this bot anywhere on your showcase? I'd like to see the insides to see where it got all that power to flip, guess that you had like 2 or 3 batteries in it.
Can't really say much about the matches, Fracture's did some nice OOTA's and Santa hit my bot 7 times after it was already destroyed, have I really been that bad this year? The start was good, my bot taking on another bot which is in some way linked to Jonzu(guess my popup really disliked that) but it quickly got into the way of a hammer.
I noticed that They Might Be Giants in my round 1 match!
It's been a great tournament so far, but of course the Trinity SNS is dominating. I wanted Santa Claus to do better.
Alright what utter moron voted for my robot
Loving how SCOF is winning the poll because of my bullcrap XD
When you haven't seen any videos so far, but notice your bot in a poll at the top of the page...
It's not good news is it...? Will catch up on the videos tonight so I can see what everyone is going crazy for haha!
Sadly not.
This tournament is kinda depressing to watch, so many cool looking entries that don't get to take down anything. Voted for your bot by the way, second would've been Redace's bot(but he's still in the race luckily) so I went for the flipper instead.
Shame about the sheer number of pop-ups in this. My bot doesn't fear pop-ups much as the wedge is pretty good, unfortunately it sucks against horizontal spinners and my brilliant AI decided to just target those in the rumbles... I would like to see him go through as he's a much better 1 on 1 type bot.
As long as some different entries get voted through though I'll be happy. Everyone loves variety right?
Also:
Thank you for the vote R01 and anyone else who has done so far :mrgreen:

I just dug it up from my Robot Designs - the file was created Aug. 2012 so I suspect that I would have showcased it, but here it is anyway:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65672cascade.png)
Redrum got Redrum'ed, a joke that only the creator of it will get. Went out in a similar way than how I did in round 1.
Flippers also only seem to be a one hit wonder, they get in one hit and then just mess around, unless someone writes a flipper ai which really goes for OOTA's.
I wonder why Geice's bot doesn't have melty, also Jonzu's Neighbour almost won by points.
By the way, what's chasetime exactly?
My opponents are 2 popups and SCOF. I hope I can win, but you really can never be sure.
GLHF everyone!
I got an OOTA! I'll take it!
If I spent more than 15 minutes on my entry I might have done better.
So now I'm against two nasty popups and an SnS? Alright then.
poor SCOF, everyone votes for it and it loses in the first seconds lol
Oh my God. I was so close. That went way better than expected. I don't even care that I lost. I'm just happy I lasted that long, took out two popups, and scored the most points with one wheel.
Good game guys. That was actually kinda funny.
Eh, predictable result. Nice tournament 09 I had fun.
Wen is gonna win this tourney because he made an sns, isn't he?
Welp, I have forseen. GG WP, everyone!
redace's loss was pretty unfortunate! all his bot had to do was protect its wheel
i was waiting for wen's bot to oota itself or something but it remained surprisingly low to the ground, congratulations! that evangelion clip had me laughing (when do we get the end of evangelion tournament with wen suffering in silence after he asks the world to be destroyed?)
pretty happy with my run, got 3 nice oota's and a ko
oh man worst way to go out, somehow my bot gets stuck on its side lol. Congratulations to wen!

Congrats to the winners!
An almost victory against the second placed robot from a superb builder, with a robot I basically made in 15 minutes, like Conraaa. I'll take it.
Congrats Wen. You're winner!
YEEEEAAAAHHHH!

GG Geice
OK you did the Congratulations thing better.
Great tournament 090901.
gg wen.
Honesty suprised I got to the final. I bet Fracture would've killed my bot if he beat jonzu in the rumble. Code Red probably could've aswell if hadn't already fought the popups. Not bad for 5yr old bot though.
Also protip for almost everyone : narrow bots = sh**.

Nice, I was going to say that you only need to update them for the finals now, but you did add those to the description(added them to this post now), would +rep if I could.
Am I the only one having problems with embedded youtube videos? Some jump back to the beginning(audio still plays for a bit) before jumping back. YT sure is known to break stuff.
Fracture's popup doing OOTAs as if they were nothing, just to then be beaten by Jonzu's... Really wonder how the self righting would've been if it had used the wedge arms for it.
Badger's popup got screwed over by landing on the ram plates, very annoying. Redace's got surprisingly far in the melee. Nice to hear that you enjoyed it @Redace
Didn't know this was a dance contest.
Final, SNS vs SNS, somewhat expected given the tournament rules, but both went different ways but ironically started in the same heat(also 3 out of 4 fanvote rumble bots were from heat1)
0:24 Wen's bot enters hyperspeed.
Looks like the plows did have a use after all. Heh the ending, guess I should get a forum avatar here, then again I think only the people that got further into the tournament were mentioned.
Congratulations Wen.
You are Win xD.
