Have voted. Doing my rundown and opinions for Heat A first:

8 Wheels of Terror: I love how woke it is, with the 8 NPC Fasts drive. I also love how clean it looks, as well as the skin on the top, which is great
Beckzor: Cool hybrid. Love the shape and extenderwork. Also nice modification too, replacing the beta axe with the doubk axe powered by burst to give self righting capability
Cataclysm: Not much to say, other than clean and I like how the hammer head is done
Cold Steel: Cool drum. Aside from the 4WD, I like the wedge, with the drum slot, as well as the additional lip on the front
Cosecha II: Great drum. Love the unique shape as always. The single tooth drum idea is also neat. Hope it at least out a good showing
Scavenger: Great rammer. Love the unique shape and awesome theme it has. It also looks like it will be pretty effective

Scavenger looks to be the coolest and most original bot in this heat. I like the industrial aesthetic. It's pretty hard to judge from small screenshots from a single angle though, it would be cool to see a short 3D rotating video of each bot in a heat showcase video or something, thought that would be a lot more work than just taking screenshots

Post by: BSRaven on June 16, 2019, 12:12:43 PM

Yeah, kinda my bad on that one. Uploaded the larger version to Imgur and linked that in the spoiler too. Gonna do that with future heats too.

EDIT: Gonna try to not highlight, but if a fight is just that awful and is nothing but 2 minutes of the two bots linking sides and running around each other in circles, I'll probably cut those 2 minutes out and call a judge's decision on the previous minute.

Don't worry that's about 95% of tournaments

Also, drop the bitching about Orc's Wars, it's been over for months now. The format is already confirmed (in the signups), and the entries are set in stone. You got accepted into this tournament, so stop wallowing about a tournament that wasn't hosted by BSRaven rejecting a bot of yours.

Then again, you really seem to not like me, so you won't take a word of this to heart

P.S. Can't wait to watch Fenrir play dead 2 minutes into a fight because battery life is garbage.

Now now, play nice: this isn't the place for an argument :P

That aside, interesting Heat to begin with. Beckzor and Cataclysm are definitely my favourites to look at: Cataclysm reminds me of the construction vehicle bots I made ages ago! :heart_smiley:

Heat B bot rundown and opinions

Blackout: The best bot lookwise in the heat imo. I love how it's pretty unique for a hammer with the chassis, even though it's a box VS one, as you don't see that kind of chassis often in hammers. I also like the reskinned hammer
HofMaf2: Appreciate it being turned into a single bot rather than similar looking different bots as cluster. Anyway, while it's an improvement from the first version, I don't like how it's pretty messy.
Nature's Defender: My own bot. I think it can potentially win the heat, but I'm worried about Tired Iron because it has a flipper too, and HofMaf2 because of flail wedgelets, which could slip under my bot potentially. I also hope Blackout doesn't kill me quickly
Overheat: Doesn't look that bad, but I'm not a fan of how the wedges are done honestly. I think it can be raised upward to be attached to the top plate instead
Tired Iron: Pretty clean and retro. I also like the extenderwork and skinning. Nice 2.1 IRL bot that fits well with current 2.2 IRL.
Twilight Rune: Don't like it honestly. I just feel the chassis is too disproportionately large, especially with the wheels and the custom bar. That bar also looks like it doesn't have any range, and I worry with only a chassis, the bot can get outwedged and damaged easily

Nah it's just the same chassis as all of Hop's other bots but with a different weapon  heck

It's using a Tantrum-style retractable spinner, though on a piston instead of an actuator. The bar actually has good reach on it.

So far, the quality of bots is kind of meh, but there are so many newer builders and untested designs that it makes sense.

Should be a very interesting tourney nonetheless. Quite fun to see new blood in a tournament!

Cosecha II: It's beautiful and seems compact.
Scavenger: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Blackout: Very beautiful bot.
HofMaf2: Is that a srimech on the bot? If it is, I'm surprised it doesn't clip into the spinning disc.
Nature's Defender:  heck
Overheat: It seems it can get over opponents very easily and if it's lucky to get under anything, it doesn't seem to do major damage.

Burg: Clean burger themed overhead bar. Not much to say other than it's clean. I'm also curious how the top plate self righter works
Jumping Poison Frog: Also clean. I like how the front plate is done, as well as those wedgelets and the hammer. Nothing much to say
Duo: I first thought it's a cluster with what Raven said. But cool clamp. Love the clashing colorscheme, as well as the face and how the clamp is made. Awesome Orc build as always
Gamma: I like the face on it, as well as the extenderwork. Nothing much to say other than I like the personality
ODB: Good S3 inspired bot. I like how the color of the support matches with the disc. Also interested to see how the Hypno teeth works
Quantum Star: Awesome flipper. I like all the extenderworks on it. The shape also reminds me a bit of Chaos 2. The stripe pattern is great too

Bigfin: Cool Bloodsport inspired bot. The side part of the chassis is pretty cool because of those rugged extenders, rather than perfectly smooth. The asymmetrical bar is also neat. Plus good color scheme
Caution: Clean undercutter. I like how the panels and extenders mesh up cleanly
Launch Evo: Awesome flipper. I like the OBJ shape of the chassis. In addition, I also like the color
Permafrost: I like the skin, as well as the jagged parts of the support. However, not sure what to feel about the rest, like the discs for example with those teeth
Pressure: Great flipper. I like how it's unique and full of personality, with the eyes and shape of the bot. It also looks to be very effective
Spinister: Clean ICEWave bot. Nothing much to say other than that honestly

Personally I don't see Tired Iron making it out of the heats, I'm really just using it to test the waters since I've been out of the tournament scene since 2016. I can see it winning at least one or two fights looking at the competition but Blackout is the one that scares me to be honest. 

Say are there going to be any grudge matches after the main tournament?  I imagine there's plenty of people who'd like to fight robots outside their heats but won't get that chance.

360: Decent 259 bot. I like the disc's shape especially. Not much to say other than clean
Agressive Retsuko: Not a fan of how low res the chassis skin is honestly, or how the weapon is saws on HW level like that, and the spam, because saws doing damage like VS in HW level without main teeth feels wrong to me. Also, the side panels look a bit tacked on honestly
Claymore: Cool flipper. I like how clean and unique Sabre is, and this one is no different. Interested to see how powerful it will be
Fenrir: Cool clamp. I especially like the shape of the head. The extenderworks are also good
Galva III: Awesoke Britflipper. Decent color scheme and pretty unique shape. I also like the extenderwork on it too
Zayzo: Cool Mecha Rampage bot. I like the color scheme, as well as the design of it. It's also very strong too

Finally got round to watching the first heat. For a first tourney, this has some really high production values. Looking forward to the rest!

Screwed over by the floor flipper. Nothing to do but to go back to the drawing board I guess.  :ermm:

Lost like always. At least I made it out of the opening round. I think I have to start figuring out a faster and less havoky ND Gen II

To be fair, the way crashes are being judged is really stupid. Basically as soon as Nature's Defender loses its weapon, it crashes the game, at which point the round is judged. This means that ND's fragile weapon is a nonfactor as it basically doesn't fight without it's weapon, ever. I get what BSRaven was going for but IMO it just doesn't work.

On a side note, I'm glad to see Blackout win the heat, it was definitely the nicest bot there and I always have a soft spot for hammers
