I made Kulpa for fun, not for fights, moreover its my first bot in DSL, so I must lose.
You could still out last it and WBP

I don't really care.

the delays would be my fault, I have only really now got enough spare hours for the first time in 2 weeks to work on the arena

Wait what, YOU'RE working on the arena too? Gigafrost asked ME to work on it!

We might end up with two ELBITE arenas here... I guess Gigafrost can just pick the one he likes best. Unless yours isn't very far yet, then maybe we could make it a joint effort. Here's what I have done:

Just the basic layout and the walls, which lower to OOTA-able height after 30 seconds. Still needs a bit of skin work and the tesla coil in the middle. I'll be quite busy over the next couple weeks so I probably won't be able to work on it more... maybe you can finish it up?

Here's the download: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/elbite.zip (the rest of ya'll can practice in it and make predictions if you want.)

your working on it too 0_0 Madiaba was asked also.. how many arena's does he want?

I was only to model the GMF/ skin it all for Madiaba to add the coil effects and the wall moving (though I have figured out how to do that latter myself I believe)

well yours looks good, I havent done ample to mine and I personally dislike it when people ask for multiple jobs of the same thing :/ (unless there is some mix up)

in any case I wont carry on with this project then,

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #105 on:** August 12, 2010, 09:32:07 PM »

Well Mad said that he didn't have time to do it. Giga said you were a "maybe" I think, so I told him I would start on it, and I guess he didn't pass the news on to you.

Well good thing you weren't far on it yet. Not much effort wasted.

I guess this is Ians lucky day then, I can now make his arena is Serge isnt

keep up the good work Click

Yeah, go Click! You rock!

And great work Click btw.

Giga wanted 3 different arenas.

but they are all the same thing he asked of it.. it would save wasting efforts by simply building one an re-skinning it 3 times.. im happy to help click with any skins if he needs it

G.K. · « **Reply #110 on:** August 13, 2010, 08:47:57 AM »

You'll have to ask Giga about that then.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #111 on:** August 16, 2010, 04:52:21 PM »

Amazing job Click! As usual.

@Joe: Apologies for making you work extra. I let click know that you were working on a collab thing, but I am aware of your guy's busy schedules (I can relate as well. College, car died a couple of days ago, for starters...) I was surprised anyone started on the arena.
Once the tesla coil is all scripted and ready to go, it can instead be added into the second tournament, just to make things quicker.

This tournament will have no hazards besides the OOTA walls, in that time you can take your time (you, click, mad and whoever else) to make any revisions if you'd like. We can use Click's for tournament 1. Skins aren't too bad, just have to clean it up a bit.

New vids this week. And thanks again you guys for helping out.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #112 on:** August 17, 2010, 10:24:58 AM »

no worries Giga, I am open to help if Click needs it.

looking forward to the videos

TOURNAMENT PREDICTIONS:

PRELIMS:

Invisible Pink Unicorn vs Berserk Killer: IPU for this match's win. Those extenders on Berserk Killer don't look too reliable and will possibly be its downfall.

Agitator JR vs Residential Madness: Agitator has the upper hand in terms of power. Unless the smaller RM can somehow get to that exposed Perm? I have my doubts. Agitator should win all bouts in this round.

ROUND 1:

Tunneler vs IPU: All Tunneler would have to do is immobolize the Sns and gut rip it. It is also well armored enough to prevent any serious blows from IPU. I strongly believe that IPU will most likely lose this match. Tunneler should win all bouts for this round.

Sega 32X vs Glacier: Both bots are wedgy. It will all come down to who goes underneath who first. That being said, Sega32X has a slight advantage over that skirt hinge of Glacier with its lower profile and the metal sheet/stock wedge combo. But who knows? Perhaps Glacier will be able to get access to that largely exposed bottom of Sega. Nonetheless, I'm rooting for Sega32X for this bout's win. It should at least win 2/3 of its matches.

Sparkplug vs Kulpa: Kulpa simply will not have the friction to win this bout. It's best chance is if it somehow deals enough damage to destroy the incredibly pushy Sparkplug. Sparkplug should win all three matches, unless it somehow isn't able to knock Kulpa OOTA. Even then, it should win by at least immobolizing the crawler.

Purple-xed vs Electronic: Expect a pretty straightforward match. S_M's popup should win everytime, getting under Electronic's chassis for a knock-out gut rip - despite the speed advantage of J24's Electronic. As a matter of fact, this may actually risk the rammer an OOTA or two.

Agitator JR vs Darkblade 2.5: My odds are against my own bot in this bout. It all comes down to the basics, HS>VS. Perhaps if the slow driving Darkblade could somehow muster up enough force to flip SKBT's Agitator it may have some chance, but I highly doubt it. Even though Darkblade may have a weapon advantage it is simply out-matched here.

Vector BLING vs Enigma X: A legendary matchup and one that will probably bring tears to my eyes -sniff-. A hammer vs a flipper. To be quite honest I have my feelings towards G.K.'s Enigma. I WANT it to win, since it has no weaponry other than its flipping power. It has a lot of heart but that will, of course, not guarantee it this match. However, I still think it has a good chance of winning through an OOTA or two, and even though Doom's dreaded Vector BLING may win by destroying it. My hopes are on it at least staying in one peice until the 30 seconds are up. Then we shall see who wins. I hope I'm right on this one!

Indestructible vs Whoop: A Sns vs a Rammer. What else needs to be said? FOTEPX has this in the bag. This is unless Somebody's Whoop manages to pop off those big wheels of his for an immobolization win.

MeatCleaver vs Backfire: Four words for you in reference this match. EXPOSED DDTS ON EXTENDERS! 027's Backfire should have no problem gnawing off the arms of Joda's stock-based bot, MeatCleaver. But truth be told, MeatCleaver may be able to whack at its sides for some easy points. Being that it is a larger bot, it should easily be able to hit Bfs wheels as well - may not do much though.

ROUND 2:

Sega 32X vs Tunneler: Tunneler is simply more pushy. It may be close, but I have high hopes that Tunneler will win this match.

Sparkplug vs Purple-xed: Purple-xed is more wedgy. And Sparkplugs lack of any wedges could cost it its match. Once the popup gets under, its all over.

Agitator JR vs Vector BLING: Agitator will win this bout. All of those weak extenders may not stand the beating of those sledges once Vector wedges underneath the HS, this may render it pretty harmless afterward.

Backfire vs Indestructable: The exposed sides of Backfire will be hearty eating for the Rammer. The only hopes that it really has for a win is if it is somehow able to score through rolling its aversary over or through a gut rip, but Indestruct is probably too front heavy for such a thing to be succesful without the drum taking a lot of damage.

SEMIS:

Purple-xed vs Tunneler: This match witll be a big one. Tunneler shouldn't have a problem wedging in this bout but it really comes down to who gut-rips who first. Neither bots have bottom protection so we shall see who wins this one. More or less, I will be rooting for Tunneler.

Indestructable vs Agitator JR: Being a Rammer, Indestructable should, without a doubt, have no problem winning the semis match. But as I am only predicting, anything can happen.

FINALS:

If my predictions succeed, the match with Tunneler vs Indestruct should be a no brainer. Tunneler should simply gut rip it for a win. But who really knows?

SKBT · « **Reply #114 on:** August 17, 2010, 11:33:16 AM »

Not trying to be pushy (I understand you have a life and all) but could you give us a timeframe for when the fights will start?

Edit: There's no way Agitator will make it that far. I should have entered "Another Generic Flail Sheck Spinner". :P

Jodapower · « **Reply #115 on:** August 20, 2010, 08:28:33 AM »

im wondering where is the videos sorry for asking ;P

Gigafrost · « **Reply #116 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:11:45 PM »

Currently working on them... College project midterms threw me off so last week was not possible. These videos have been held long enough. Prelims WILL be finished by the end of Wednesday (no school) and I'll probably try to throw in another on Friday if I have time left. Please bear with my college life, I know its annoying for these dates to change occasionally. All I can say is that it happens. I'll be making up this lost time with more videos; It's only fair.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #117 on:** August 24, 2010, 06:30:49 PM »

I always end up against a very strong bot that always makes it to the grand finals.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #118 on:** August 25, 2010, 07:53:44 PM »

Preliminary video is up for the 1st matchup! Prelim 2 is should be up later on...

I love the intro!

Match. not so much. (I don't have 15 spare minutes...)
