BW - Looking like a pretty solid competition (apart from Ribbs). I'm quite impressed with logan's entry, personally, he's improved quite a bit from previous entries. STFC and DMP4 look a bit unstable to me, but DMP4 did reasonably well in RA2 Trials 3. ty4er could spring a surprise, Jack Daniels' bot is original, but I'm not too sure it'll do all that well. My pick for the division is Urjak's Radial Disturbance.
 
LW - Excuse me one moment.
 

Okay, now to business. Aside from ian and 090901, most of the bots have a similar sort of design. Linxus and Forrest's lack of wedging might let them down. Mr. AS appears to have AGOS, either that or his motors arne't lined up properly. Mike's bot looks very nice, but I'm worried about a lack of stability with the short stance, even with the wedge. So my pick for the LW's goes to Conraaa's Crno I Belo.
 
MW - Again, I'm seriously impressed with logan's bot. It's a very, very good series of bots, it's going to be a very close fought thing. ty4er, Gauche and madman are some interesting bots. Kurt's bot looks like it'll be destroyed pretty quickly, though, which is all down to wedges. I can't make a pick for this division, because it's pretty much a total wedge war. Tentetively going for S_M's Punt.
 
HW - Very nice use of interchangeable weaponry by SKBT. Go away Ribbs. Chocolate appears to be the closest to DSL of the group, and DBC's lack of extender supports slightly annoys me. Fracture looks very nice, and The Highlander makes another appearance in an IRL tourney. NMOL's exposed motors aren't that great, but at least it's got supports. OI3 looks quite good for an IRL bot, maybe a little bit like Freezerburn. Touch to pick a winner here, but I suppose I'll have to go for the absurdly cheap Lidl Value Chocolate.

and nfx's lw's carbon extenders look tasty

LW- Mr. AS appears to have AGOS, either that or his motors arne't lined up properly.
it doesn't thats just the chassis pushing down on the axles

I felt that the US was going to have enough representation... and oddly, Croatia was the first thing that came to mind.  So, I went with it.

Didn't know a damn thing about it... looks like a fine place from what I can gather on wiki.  :D

Djibouti will hopefully get a medal :D I used the larger panels to give them more HP, it might be easier to hit but it can take more so I figured I'd take that chance due to having only 4 weapons. The bot I used is one I made sometime early-mid last year I think.

Post by: Conraaa on July 30, 2012, 05:02:06 AM
BW: If I can get past Radial Disturbance, then I think I have a fighting chance at least.

LW: Olol. It's me against a robot I skinned in the first round! Also I think Above all is going to fall down quite quickly, we're on the clawtop arena, which means all the robots will have to turn around to face each other. O_O will take off a couple of the extenders at the oppertunity and take the match. At least I hope to god that's what happens.
Also MikeNCR copied me obviously :P
Title: Re: RA2 Olympics London: Opening Ceremony and Coverage
Post by: madman3 on July 30, 2012, 07:57:25 AM
Mike in the HW and Suede in the MW? I might beat Mike if I manage to knock him up and gutrip him and my bot's fairly wide and he's got a small weapon radius, so that may go okay.
Suede is basically a matter of whether I can outwedge him. I've got more damaging weapons (LDS teeth) and more of them, so that may be an advantage for me, but he's got more protection.

It was originally a concept for kill's abandoned Summer Sumo tournament. I figured that since DSL bots are usually more compact than Stock counterparts, and there are a lot of lighter and more versatile components available in DSL, I'd be able to make it work better here. Although it does say "Problem, groundfags?" on the top and underside.  :gawe:

Post by: NFX on July 30, 2012, 04:04:48 PM
Those skirts would probably dig into the floor, though, and prevent the bot moving at all. Check Explosion vs. Little Flipper 3 in the UK LW Championships a year or so ago for an example. Plus a weapon with that amount of weight behind it, that amount of torque on the motor, and only 2WD, would probably spin itself around uselessly and be either hideously unbalanced, or not able to drive in a straight line. It basically is substandard DSL, rather than actually built to be IRL. Hence why I referred to it as Lidl Value.

30fps is normally a good one to use. It's the same framerate as the game, so that'll keep it smooth.

I'd refilm the first BW match, personally. NAR AI has different component HP, power outputs, even armour values than normal DSL. The Signups thread said it was normal DSL, and as such it should be filmed in DSL rather than NAR AI, to keep everything balanced normally.

You better not bring your old offtopic grudge with S32 in this thread. He has all rights to post criticism here (although it would have be more fitting to post it in the discussion thread) if he desires. Or maybe we should all think the same ?

Besides, if you think his criticizing of this tournament is so bad, why are you making flamebait posts ?

I'm not, the kid has no idea what effort it takes to host a tournament and to randomly come in here and insult it spits in the face of the community and I'd be surprised if Mas hosts another tournament after this due to sys32's lack of respect.


I'm telling him to back off, his post is clearly flamebait.. which should be against the rules of the forum as we don't need that crap here.

You'd have to be bloody insecure to stop making tournaments after ONE piece of criticism.

Honestly I agree somewhat with S32, I think the gimmick for this is a bit boring, but it is the tourney host that chooses what he wants to do. What I disagree with is where S32 posted it, because it's too late to post it and hope to have an effect, and it indeed can have some disrupting effect, and how he presented it, which may be a tiny bit too violent for the message to pass well.

I'm telling him to back off

Intimidating a being that thrives on conflict ? Not gonna work.

his post is clearly flamebait.. which should be against the rules of the forum as we don't need that crap here.

Or maybe it is just his honest opinion and he hopes that Mass's next tourney will have a better gimmick, because he clearly thinks this one is not good enough ?

There is a possibility that it is flame bait and that he is just pissed and randomly attacks Mass, and in that case I will smite him for that, but I have rarely seen S32 randomly flaming this part of the forum. Besides, he knows that if he did flamed people here, he would find me blocking his path.

Hmph, I was keeping this argument here in hope it would bring new stuff for the future (and maybe it will) but it is clear this argument will go nowhere and the spam will surpass the reasonable discussing.

Everyone stop talking about it now, and back on topic.

And what are you going to do if it doesn't stay on topic...? Cry to Grandpa ACAMS?

Mostly just posting to get updates on this drama and the tournament sideshow.

My Predictions for the MW fights:
Andross VS Tartantrum: if Tartantrum can deweapon Andross while not get punted, it'll win. Otherwise Andross will win this fight easily.

me VS Mortician: if my wedge is better than him, i'll have a good chance at beating him. Otherwise i'll have to either flank him or use the somewhat wide gap between the wedges to get under him. Mortician for win.

Canadian Shark VS Sir Stabalot's Revenge: if SSRevenge's wedges is better than ty's, he can win this one. otherwise ty will just juggle it till it's dead.Canadian Shark for win.

Flash Flood VS Punt: Flash Flood's 4WD NPCs will just make it Rage 3 OOTA. Punt for Win.

The two designs seem almost identical, except his front armor extends up a little higher. To suggest that your design is somehow "new" is absurd.

Please shut up. I build for effectiveness, and that was the most effective design I found in testing. The only reason you actually won is because you had the luck of having good wedges, so please stop being an arrogant sod before you make a fool of yourself.

Because Ill Omen style pokers are generic ? Get real, these bots are barely built.

You only won because of a better wedge bro.
