Fatal Risk is a modular robot with one extra configuration. You can look at it here. (https://imgur.com/IxYL0QM)

Post by: GroudonRobotWars on February 04, 2018, 03:49:22 PM: Lots of good looking bots, will be interesting to see how things go.
Title: Re: Deathmatch - SBV
Post by: FaceBagman on February 04, 2018, 04:35:46 PM: They're all so slick-looking!

Heat A - I fully expect this to go to Lance-A-Frog or Robbie Botten, I don't think any of the flippers can stand up to them. I like the skins on Dwarf Adder and Garter Snake, and Sea Lobster is adorable.

Heat B - I'd call Lynx and The Revenger the bots to beat here. Nightmare Moon Evo could grab a win against one of them, if it's stable. Armoroid and Aesdeef feature some really creative uses of armor and extenders, respectively.

Heat C - Kind of a toss-up, as the bots with the strongest looking weapon setups seem to have fairly exposed chassis, which could put them in danger against the undercutters or Clip Hurr. Clip Hurr looks the nicest, though Sir Morphsalot and Night Stalking Murderer are lovely too. Big Stick is certainly creative, and as someone who loves big, undercutting weapons, I'll be rooting for it to get a win.

Heat D - Hirohito looks like it should handle this heat pretty easily. Ferrotite is the only bot I see that might have the potential to get a good OotA flip against it.

Heat E - I had originally been monkeying around with some modular setups for Witching Hour's weapon setup, and if I had entered one, I might feel confident in this heat. However, in testing, I can definitely see that she's pretty outdated compared to current standards and suffers from mobility and weapon power issues. Toxin, Dune Buggy, and Mustard all stand a chance at beating her here. I want Containment to win because it looks absolutely beautiful, but would probably bet on Toxin (which also looks really nice).

Heat F - DoT's lookalikes area always the best, Implosion looks like it could actually perform better than the bot it's based on too. Still would pick Evil Art Project or Macromandra to win this though. Winner of this heat could potentially win the whole thing, in my eyes.

Post by: Olister92 on February 06, 2018, 04:02:12 PM: Not done predictions before so why not start now? first off, all these entries are hella sweet :thumbup to everyone

Heat A - I'd love to see Sea Lobster win but I think it'll be between Queenlance-a-frog or RobbieBotten
Heat B - People thinking Lynx can win this one, thanks guys :) personally I thinks its between Revenger or Nightmare Moon Evo
Heat C - I'm rooting for Dreaming of Screaming as its always been a favourite of mine and it stands a chance
Heat D - I can't see past Hiromitokingofthesee here
Heat E - This is the group of death for me, possibly Dune Buggy if I had a gun to my head and had to pick
Heat F - I'm digging Implosion but its gotta be Evil Art Project for me

Edit - you just focus on what is important right now and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I hope everything goes well for you

Post by: Jaydee99 on February 06, 2018, 05:54:59 PM: As excited as I am to see my bot in this (which will probably lose lol), please focus on the stuff you're going through ATM. Its a lot more important and good luck to your Dad for his surgery :)
Title: Re: Deathmatch - SBV
Post by: RedAce on February 25, 2018, 04:15:49 PM: At last, the first Heat of Deathmatch is here! yeah i know it was technically live like 15 minutes ago but ignore that

https://youtu.be/OtUykOuy_2w

Really am sorry for the long wait. Life certainly got very much in the way, and it still is. This is certainly going be a weekly series since editing does take time. While not as annoying to deal with compared to the mock heat, it still took me a while. While I do have everything recorded, I don't have the every heat edited yet, so I don't wanna spoil nuthin'. Hopefully you enjoy the first heat.

I kinda made a slight mistake for the judging thing since Loser's Melee's are gonna have problems if every bot is dead even. Did get pretty lucky here though.

Also, thanks to everyone who wished my dad luck for his surgery. That's real nice of y'all. :')

Okay, maybe I exaggerated with that Judge's Decision a bit, but I also felt NME pretty much did everything and if Orcatraz lasted to the end, it probably would've been different.

I don't exactly remember what happened in the Loser's Melee, but I remember getting a couple annoying havoks in that, and the one where DoS flipped over was the best take, unfortunately. Even if it did go to a Judge's Decision, I still probably would've had DoS win from all categories looking back.

Post by: Jammy Dodger on March 11, 2018, 04:26:20 PM: hooray i won! I had low hopes after the oota in the first round but DoS then won its next 3 fights which surprise me, gg!

Thanks man that means a lot :D I've got a few ideas on how to upgrade it too ;) I like that you used the Supernova disc on Ravenger, that bot is an absolute beast

*For Toaster's interchangeable weaponry, he asked specifically for bots that use wheelguards,r VS's or a coin toss.

Also I'm still shocked by that ending in the Loser's Melee.

Post by: Jaydee99 on March 18, 2018, 04:56:46 PM: Can't believe I won the Losers Melee, sad to see that I didn't last long after but I knew I wasn't going to so I'm happy overall
I should really build better robots for this type of thing lol

Post by: RedAce on March 21, 2018, 03:01:19 PM: What's this, an early heat upload? What madness is this? Yes. I got an early treat for you guys. I have the weekly schedule because of the events that are happening and this week is probably the most busiest I'm gonna have. But that's not the only reason that this. For I'm going to be heading out to Kentucky to do an interview on my cousin for a documentary and attend a concert in the process. Pretty much taking my weekend away and I most likely wouldn't be able to upload the Heat in time, and I don't want to delay anything. I know YouTube has this useful schedule function, but I don't feel like posting in this thread later than usual. But anyway, now it's time for the part you probably care about more...

Heat E of Deathmatch is now up!

I.. still am not sure how to react to that Loser's Melee ending, and I was really disappointed by that heat final too.

I watched through the replay multiple times after I recorded that, and I spotted a tooth from Bite Me get knocked on the button off camera from Witching Hour I think. I can't really check at the moment on mobile.

Also that was yet another round where havoks were a plenty, so that was fun.

And with that, congrats to...

Bildschirm, with The Revenger!

If you would like the prize, then please send me a personal message and I will provide it as soon as possible.

So, with that, I guess I can call this tournament to a close. I didn't really think of any awards since I feel some awards would just end up being the same and that I feel I might not getting a lot of votes anyway. I guess to fill the gap, I could sum my thoughts of the tournament. This is something I've been really trying to make for a long time. A DSL-CW IRL tournament would probably not have been as popular or handled as well if I were to host this in say, 2014 for example. I also got enough experience and tools to work with now to make something that not only shows my love for hosting RA2 tournaments, but also my editing side of making these. Yes, the elephant in the room is pretty glaring if you are ones who have watched this tournament from the start, and I won't spoil that in case you haven't seen it all yet. What I will say however, is that I can fix that mistake. If enough people are down for a sequel to this with enhanced rules to fix all the errors, then I'll be ready when you are. But for now, I hope everyone does enjoy what I've done for this tournament, and the future is to come.

Edit: Whoops.
