Title: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 15, 2010, 11:19:58 AM: The Series Premiere Event is on 7/ 20/2010.
Find the entries on my website (in the signature)
Episode 1

Episode 1
Welcome to HBFS
My name is hal
This is a test to see if 1 out of the 10 engineers could build the best robot.
Yeah no videos, well who cares this is better.
This is what you get for questioning my authority...
Tell me, the names of the robots were missing from the splash,
well they're not. That big number is your robot's name.
and to be official...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiuPFWeUY0# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiuPFWeUY0#)
Too bad you all get your first punishment and one has to go already.
Now is the Crusher treatment.
The robot that lasts the longest will get exempted from the next treatment, since 2 robots, number 7 and number 9 had multi extenders, they will be given another punishment next episode.
Part 1, Robots 0-2

Part 2, Robots 3-5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCyemJX8Le4# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCyemJX8Le4#)
Part 3, Robots 6-9(and yes #9 will be punished)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ2VFnl463M# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ2VFnl463M#)
Well it seems we can all see, Pod 6 is in fact the winner. Pods 9 and 7 will be punished next time.
Pod 3 is eliminated for only staying alive for 11.3 seconds.
Till then, I must shut down. See you next week!

Episode 2

Welcome to HBFS
My name is hal
This is a test to see if 1 out of the 10 engineers could build the best robot.
Last week, I started my game by renaming these devilish devices.
Then the Crusher Treatment began.
9 were successful in taming that reckless beast.
Pod 6's Techno Wheels helped his creation go through to Episode 3!
And while others were smashed, the simplest engineered piece, Pod 3,
experienced the metal slab for the shortest amount of time, eliminating it.
Now, I do have unfinished business with 2 of my "guests"
Pod 7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKWyyjR1IO4# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKWyyjR1IO4#)
and Pod 9
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnSFaDVTZrk# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnSFaDVTZrk#)
I think the multi extenders are now the least of my worries now...
The Guard Dog treatment is going to go underway.
I will pick a random bot out of the 8 fastest NarAI robots,
the contestant will be put into the infinity arena and...
as soon the game starts, the contestant will shove it into reverse.
Only time will tell if we see a perfect getaway or see a feeding frenzy.
Pods 0+1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LWC8ZiJqJ4# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LWC8ZiJqJ4#)
Pods 2+4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRBi0i1nAJE# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRBi0i1nAJE#)
Well, that's it for this week, your punishment is to wait another week to see the rest, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: The Ounce on July 15, 2010, 02:08:32 PM: Nice.

I think I'm going to do poorly because my bot was really only designed for some of the challenges.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on July 15, 2010, 02:10:27 PM: My bot has 2 Overkill wedges, 2 BSG's and 2 NPCF +Techno Drive.
It's SSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Hydro on July 15, 2010, 02:12:25 PM: My bot...

...Was built before I started posting in my showcase again...
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: G.K. on July 15, 2010, 02:18:04 PM: My bot.....

Doesn't exist.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 15, 2010, 09:19:41 PM: The competitors page on the Database has been updated, make predictions here.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: 123savethewhales on July 15, 2010, 10:06:33 PM: Lol Ounce and Bubble Man are using long multi-extenders, I thought that was banned.

In fact you told me specifically to remove mine.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 16, 2010, 07:31:50 AM: Wow how did I let that get passed me, I will fix.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: freeziez on July 16, 2010, 08:56:41 AM: How does the tourney work? Could you show us a bracket-layout or something?

I had some ridiculous cube with long ME's on it as my first entry attempt. I think it was called NOOb Cube or something like that.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on July 16, 2010, 02:08:21 PM: Well, looks like Brian might actually be in with a chance.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on July 17, 2010, 09:59:12 AM: My bot survived 54 seconds in the small arena.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Badnik96 on July 17, 2010, 12:51:01 PM: :D

The competitors look pretty good, Runaway Train (my entry) doesn't really stand a chance.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes

Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: GoldenFox93 on July 20, 2010, 12:45:48 PM: Still can't believe Brian actually survived all that! :approve:
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Badnik96 on July 20, 2010, 12:55:24 PM: Still, surviving for 3 minutes!

probably gonna die next round though, but I know that freeziez might last a little less longer, and I will have survived to the next round
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes

Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: freeziez on July 27, 2010, 05:58:55 PM: When does Episode II come out?
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 27, 2010, 10:23:46 PM: It will come out tomorrow, I keep getting copyright whacked by youtube. so there is no audio when I port the videos. I'll just re-film and it will be up asap.

NO FAIR!
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Preytor_4 on July 29, 2010, 09:28:47 PM: This is just like Solitary
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 29, 2010, 09:42:11 PM: Actually, I completely based it on Solitary to tell you the truth.
Have a cookie.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Preytor_4 on July 29, 2010, 09:43:11 PM: *Eats cookie* NOM NOM NOM
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: 123savethewhales on July 29, 2010, 09:52:23 PM: Funny the bot I am up against has such a low DPS it won't kill me even if I stand still. While bot 0 had to go up against FnF.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 29, 2010, 09:57:34 PM: Well, the bots were randomly selected,
some good, some not so good,
all are fast.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: 123savethewhales on July 29, 2010, 10:03:39 PM: Also, does the punishment stay for 1 episode, or the entire show?
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 29, 2010, 10:23:17 PM: Ima keepin my mouth shut.

You came all this way to see! Well, all I can say is...
Your bot will be back to normal, same with Pod 9. The others will see some dark waters ahead.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: Badnik96 on July 30, 2010, 09:06:28 AM: Wait, since I won the last challenge am I exempted from this one?
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: freeziez on July 30, 2010, 09:50:24 AM: And, quite frankly, I don't think it was fair that I had to face a popup, while everyone else faced pushers. I demand a re-do!
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Episodes
Post by: russian roulette on July 30, 2010, 10:29:56 AM: @freezies
There will be other popups, this is about speed. If a robot doesn't escape from the robot, than the time the 2 first made contact will be their score.
@Badnik
Yes you are exempted.

Oh. Good!
Wait... That still means I failed.
