R01 got bad luck, being against R01

[R01]

Alright, was wondering when the videos would be up.

First Round, my HS vs my VS
oh great, HS is definitely going to take this- wait what?
Knew I should've made the two inside spinners the ones with the extra spikes, they rarely hit something now.
WHOA, didn't see that second one coming, almost a instakill, thought the VS might have gotten lucky the first time.
The other matches had obvious results, kinda hoped that every bot could fight against every, similar to what RW did in the 2016 reboot, but that would take too long.

You know, before this post I was going to say that the VS is full of surprises, thought Round 1 will probably be out soon(and that it would fall in it) so it would be pointless saying that. Looks like I was wrong and this thing can sometimes work just like Nightmare.

Thrackerzoid's bot is doing good so far, wonder how a rematch against the VS would've went.

How far are you with the recordings/would skin updating still be possible?

I am ****ing going to cry

I am very disappointed I lost 2 time.

You had a couple of tough opponents bro. The problem with Diggy Orange is that it's too wobbly so the wedge can't go under anything. You need the motor that powers the drum on a baseplate anchor, instead of a snapper or whatever. You still have another bot, and Diggy Orange can go on a lower bracket run.

A bit odd that Clusterbots start in those positions, I know it was done so that not only one bot fights but it makes it much shorter for bots to reach the enemy. Also any reply on the skin change?

Ouch, that hitbox on the clusterbot was too big, they were hitting eachother.
And again, the tiebreaker match is the same as the first one.

So the clusterbots get to fight generic HS, guessing based on the other match, the HS should win, then again the other bot had stronger weapons.
VS vs HS, I don't think that one's going to end well. Ok messed it up, those aren't the next matches.
Was Wen's bot really that wobbly or did the other bots just have better luck with the wedges?

Sure, submit a new skin and I'll update it. Sorry, did see that part of your original post.

Yeah, not sure how well it comes through on the videos but ingame you can really see the bounce. It's pretty unfortunate.

Well OA3x2 put up  a admiral performance which im pleased with I reckon it could take out the other pop-up in its heat but it was taken out by the yawn-a-rama spinner if much genericness.

Why not use the Spoiler tags?

Code: [Select]

[spoiler][/spoiler]Also your bot is looking good, always love seeing clusterbots even if they can be a pain to fight(and get the advantage of starting points, if only my VS started there it wouldn't need to turn around that much=less chance to be caught from the side).

What's with people calling my HS generic. I put a lot of planning into it. The layout is designed to give it the best chance against wedges by hopefully bouncing over the weaponry. Additionly it has 4 extra claws as a ramming rack so it can beat other HS in the deweapon fights.

There is more of a plan than HUR-DUR LET'S MAKE 36HS.

You know there's a entry called "generic spinner" in this ? :P
Noticed the upside down motors which will be perfect anti wedges.
Not sure how effective the rack will be, and since you spent weight on this, something else is weaker. That's only RAD drive, right?

It's HPZ drive. I don't think it could move with just RADs.

Guess those are either stacked or connected via the Snapper II's ? Would be interesting to see the insides but think I'm getting offtopic here. Also you should see Disappointment Trike from the tricycle takedown, it only had 3x RADs.

Group 3 is up

That's what I was commenting about earlier and what a surprise no replies.

You can't go out in the groupstage m8, you just get placed in the lower bracket in playoffs, you're not out yet :D

[R01]

Oh come on, be a bit more positively minded. I see you didn't have enough time to finish this bot as it's only 600kg. Your Clusterbot did do nice however and the first round wasn't bad as well, second round was against a out of control HS which gets very close to a Trinity bot(a thing that bounces around out of control and does massive damage that way, banned in most tournaments).

Man that HS is a unstable mess, controled movement sadly wasn't part of the rules, should've entered a Trinity Bot. First match was total garbage because of that, are we going to enter rotating spikeballs next?

Also music ended in the middle of the video and didn't come back after that.

So my opponents will be from group 4, think that Tough Love 2 and Gold Miner will be the two top bots there, VS might be able to do Gold Miner, that is if the hammer doesn't destroy the motors first, not so much for Tough Love 2. Other two look like the HS could destroy them, however I don't want to underestimate the flipping power of Urgent Emergency 2.

It's actually usually not that bad, it just had a minor havok off the start and right at the end. I didn't think it was major enough for a havok restart, maybe I was wrong.

I realised that I didn't extend the music to the end of the video, so it ends in the same place as the group 2 match. This is fixed in the group 4 video, which I'm currently rendering. I'll get going on recording the first round of playoff matches. Any other feedback?
