No, actually a flipper is a bad idea. You lose your wedges, you are pretty much harmless.

How does the damage thing work? is it until you have lost all your weapons left or is it until your bot is destroyed?

Until your bot runs out of spare wheels and has less than 2 wheels or you get your control board destroyed twice.

You mean the percentage thing? It looks like 50% accounts for chassis damage and 50% for components. So you'd have 100% damage if your chassis was destroyed and all your components were knocked off.

Keep going until your bot is destroyed. But you get one replacement control board. So you can be KO'd once, and still keep running, like This Fire. If you are down to only 1 wheel and have no replacements, then you are also eliminated, like Freakazoidberg in Round 1. The 4% or 50% thing is just how many components have been lost.

Possibly yes, but Golden Sun got maimed against T-800.

And the percentage is the percentage of overall weight loss vs. the old weight of the bot. If YBF is 13%, then it has lost roughly 130kgs of stuff.

Actually Golden Sun is a bit under the weight limit at about 760 KG I think

Hey Click, is the arena using any addPOVs or a modified GetPath method?

I'm trying to figure out why Triceratops rammed the spinner and why BlackVein keeps getting turned around (not that I don't love these random plot twists).

My guess for why Triceratops rammed the spinner is because RPM was behind the collision lines for the spikes, and Triceratops was trying to find a way around them to hit it. It encountered the POV's around the blade and decided to follow them into the blade, rather than around it. (The arena has POV's so the AI will navigate around the blade and the hammer). If anything had broken as a result of Triceratops's bumbling, I would have re-filmed that match due to unforgivable AI incompetence, but since nothing happened I kept it. (There was one other case of unforgivable AI incompetence I had to throw out and re-film, where The Beast turned around at the start of the match and hugged the spikes for the full 30 seconds, losing a bunch of bear claws and doing absolutely nothing to the opponent.

)

BlackVein probably gets turned around because you gave it a radius of 3.5, which is pretty big. So the AI will attempt to steer around obstacles before it actually reaches them, hence the weird turning. All the other bots that I AI'd use a radius of 1-1.2; do you want BlackVein to have a smaller radius for future fights?

And finally, you're all wondering why RPM randomly havoked against Triceratops. It's not because of the new melty brain AI I gave it. It actually havoks against any bot with a wedge for some reason. All of its opponents until Triceratops have been wedgeless rammers, so it's been fine.

And finally finally, you're all wondering whether I'm going to say that round 4 is up in this post... so I will. Round 4 is up!

*looks at matchup*

I just can't win, can I?

Remember, you could always have it worse... you could be Golden Sun. IMO it has had the worst matchups of any bot in this tournament. First it was Bullet Train which wasn't so bad, but then it fought T-888 Terminator, Supernovae 2.1, and The Beast all in a row. That kind of onslaught of HS's isn't easy to survive. Yet you don't see RPJK complaining...
