Just a nitpick here, but your splash (the 20mb one) wouldn't be so yuge if you saved it as .jpg instead of .png.

But then the quality would drop a lot.

It's better than not being able to see the splash at all, since my browser crashes whenever I try to open it.

Which is why I made an imgur album with all of the splashes individually instead :D

ehhhb i think its fine being a .png, however i dont think it needs to be 2000 x 8000. not that it matters though since he uploaded them to imgur and there is the group images.

[Badger]

[botomatic1000]

[R01]

Did you see that emergency wedge go right under that normal one?
Also my HS is going to have a lot of fun if it doesn't get thrown out of the Arena.

It's double elimination now. Wish it was that in the groups so I would've seen a rematch with that VS.

UB Quarterfinals are finished!

[Thrackerzod]

Your Best Dream is doing much better than I expected.  On a related note, RedAce is getting some bad luck.  Thanks for the shoutout, btw

[RedAce]

Well, I should've thought R01 used caster armor.

And there's a good chance that I'm gonna face myself... again.  wtf.

I was quite surprised as well, originally thought that it would go out rather quick given how easily the supports can be damaged and I'm not too much of a fan of spikeball mode/would expect itself to be thrown out of the arena here. Speaking of which, I'm not exactly happy how it shuffles left/right for movement, as it easily allows other bots to attack the side, and how big it is. The bot was built with the normal combat arena without hazards in mind, here is can quickly get into the way of the blade or the flipper.

I did do the shoutout before I sent you the offer for the other bot, so you were going to be on one of the bots anyways :P thought it was needed because without your help this bot wouldn't have been in it.

Not sure what to think of the next fight, while it did defeat a spinner before, my spinner wasn't that great and this one also has the bear claw rack in the way. Think this will be the first time where the supports will be ripped off.

Caster Armor was a addition to the last version, much like the support protection, this came at the cost of the self righting help and additional weapons. Since the main spinner only works as long as the supports are there I thought I might as well make them a bit stronger.
The Caster armor doesn't always catch all hits and I thought that my bot would most likely go out to yours, quickly getting flipped off to it's side because one of the wheels got under the popup. Either that or it getting on top of yours but that would most likely require a instahit else the spinners would get stuck.

Your popup was well built, did you change the AI tactics? Looked like it only fired when the chassis was in reach instead of all the time(which would've totally destroyed my bot).
At least you didn't have to fight yourself twice in the group battles.
Funny enough in both battles only one Razor was left, I was a bit surprised to see that the spikes and not the extenders were gone, really shows how powerful those bots are.

First lower bracket matches are up

[R01]

Oh, so lower bracket is single elimination?

The last fight showed the blurry action cam well.

Matches went as expected, with Emergency having the smartzone way too much in the front, OA having no problem to get under the rammer and Orange wobbling around, making the wedges useless.

yup
