Welcome to the gold Robotics league.  Why?  Cus one day I felt like building 48 robots, so I did.
What does one do with 48 robots?  Make them fight.  Duh...

I'll start things off with a demo just to hype things up, and practice editing/rules...

Things to add is longer Stat cards and longer fight introductions so we can read the robot names.

Is there a bracket posted anywhere? Also, any future plans to keep this going multiple seasons (i.e. Robot mpire)?

I have yet to make a bracket, but I do plan on going multiple seasons.

Edit: http://challonge.com/GoldRoboticsLeague

As you can tell, I'm doing these in no particular order.

So what was your mind set making these 48 bots. Like some I'm familiar with so I know it wasn't a one day spree or anything...but how'd you go about deciding what types of bots? If I did this it would end up heavy in kinetic spinners and super light on flippers.

Cheers man for such a big venture

I actually have done this twice before.  Once with a ton of cruiserweights, (Where I got Antimony, The original Toxin, Space shuttle, ect.) And another time where I built in all three weight classes (Where I got Pest Control, Network, Catipult, Antivirus, ect.)  Then the third time where I built just a ton of Heavyweights.
In reality, I did recycle some robots from the second era though.

The only reason no one has ever seen most of them is pure lack of courage to show them off in tournament style til now.

As for the mindset, I just wing it.  Literally no idea what I'm going to build until I start.

I might want to slow down with the episodes on this thing...
Once a day is just a little fast I think...

Eh, that's what happens when I prerecord stuff.

Probably my least favorite episode up til now.  Should've switched the twenty too vs Space project fight and the Dominatrix vs BBS fight.

I realized a while ago that Karma suffered from AGOD which absolutely sucks.  Looks like I'm gonna have to rebuild it or else it can't partake next season.

Man. I think this is the first time Personal Tournaments have actually been popular/relevant in many years.

On this episode - The number 1 seed finally shows itself. (But you knew who it was already... probably)

great stuff as usual Gulden. Palladiumix(sp?) is really awesome.

Post by: Gulden on November 17, 2017, 08:41:34 PM

It's only been a month.  This time, we see two big Vertical spinners duke it out and more.
I feel like a cliche sales person...

If you're sick of the intro:  Skip to 1:10

Dumb typo 1:  Buzz cut is the 11 seed.
Dumb typo 2: In my poll for the next tourney I'm doing I misspelled renamed as renaimed.

We're now down to the final 8.  Shame Hyperspace falls once again.

Quarter Final time.

I feel almost guilty giving that win to Paladiumix.  It was very close.

Here we are at the finale!

The what would've been 17th seed wins it all.  I too am surprised.
Thanks for the positive reactions to this thing, I'm already working on the sequal.  (45 down, 3 to go + remakes)
I think there was a huge backfire with this tournament though as I think I inadvertently cause the whole Personal tournament catastrophe.

Anyway, I don't think I'm done yet.  I plan on doing just some display matches for a Christmas or something just to rip of Rob even more.

I think there might be more flaws than last time with this intro...  Eh, I'll keep it cause that took way to long to export.

Gyro looks potent, also that walker looks hilarious.

Title: Re: Gold Robotics League
Post by: Gulden on January 25, 2018, 09:11:32 PM

I'm questioning why I'm not doing any legit tournaments...

Anyway, a large spinner, a clusterbot, and 2 more spinners are to be expected on this episode.

Deadly spinners, a flipper and its weakness, and two bots that are too fast for their own good.

Probably the hardest JD, a slaughterhouse, and a match that you just kinda want to end will play in reverse order today.

Is it 1 in the morning for anyone else?
