Post by: Naryar on April 21, 2008, 04:59:49 PM: What's with this lousy off-topic advertisment CUDA? lmao. just kidding.

You could make a flipper tournament into the Octogon Arena. Believe me, they'll be a lot of bot flight here and "goal!" in the deathpits here. There they'll be flippers and rams too, a good fight there.

Perhaps put a house rule as "at least one burst motor firing upwards in the bot" (e.g. flipper or popup)

Post by: Scrap Daddy on April 21, 2008, 05:35:00 PM: How about if its going to be a flipper battle a flip out arena?
Title: Help the newbie!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: 70 CUDA on April 21, 2008, 05:40:42 PM: i can make an arena for you buts kinda hard to AI a bot that knows it has to flip a bot out at a certin peramater. ill talk to mad and see if he can with this matter. it would have to be a best of 3 matchs to lower the luck fator i think.

Post by: Naryar on April 21, 2008, 05:52:30 PM: I would join with joy, but I could need how to use that damned rupt glitch which doesn't works.

Post by: 70 CUDA on April 21, 2008, 06:00:01 PM: ya it dose but it takes a lot of batt power. i had to use 1 black and a nifty to rupt a DDT
Title: Help the newbie!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: paprika on April 21, 2008, 06:40:49 PM: i would not allow a rupt flipper to enter
plus thanks for the help
Title: Help the newbie!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: 70 CUDA on April 21, 2008, 06:58:28 PM: why not its the most effective type of flipper but it has the HUGH drawback of needing all that battery power. plues its not very controllable even with AI. BTW this is a AI tourny right?
Title: Help the newbie!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: 70 CUDA on April 22, 2008, 08:47:26 AM: ill tell you what im gonna try to make the arena like a very low upside down "v" about a 25 deg incline on each side with heck raisers at the top of the V that will throw you towards the bottem end and a set there that throw you towards the top it would be mayham if you ai didnt avoid the hazards. the end walls will be high but you can toss out at the sides. im makeing the arena regardless but i think it would be great for your tourney. its just an idea

Post by: Scrap Daddy on April 22, 2008, 04:23:25 PM: Dang. I was going to enter a rupter lol.
Title: Help the newbie!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Naryar on April 22, 2008, 04:53:17 PM: I would have also used one - my first, if I can get the glitch to work.

Post by: man manu on April 24, 2008, 06:31:14 AM: sounds like a pretty awesome arena and i think a flipper tourney would be great on it. although i think we should have someone else host it as i do not trust this guy with a tourney as he sounds about 6 years old
Title: Help the newbie!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Naryar on April 24, 2008, 09:14:46 AM: I'll compete. I'll made an inverted popup (e.g. a flipper but with weapons), sorta Matrix Array.

We need to set the weight clas too. I think Lightweights are out.

hammer rupting is not good cause you can apply only one light weapon, and mot much reach. i tried a rupt popup, but when i fire normally the rupt weapon, it breaks apart in one or two fires. solution:facing wedge down when array is activated, reducing damage or use a taller chassis, with tons of extra weight.

Post by: Naryar on April 24, 2008, 05:48:35 PM: Thanks. Besides the rupt glitch does not work for me, or sometimes a hammer strike is way faster than the last one, with a normal hammer...

Pointless comment: YES i'm LW !

Post by: ianh05 on May 30, 2008, 01:14:23 AM: in regards to the original discussion.. i held a tourney that was on the tabletop arena so i guess it was a flipper favored event, maybe you could take some tips from that tourney if you want to host one. however i think low walls would make it better.
