I don't see why he couldn't. It doesn't change the basics of the game in any way, it just prevents the use of Narmour.

And it's probably the motor/wheel combination, anyhow. If you try reducing the turn and turnspeed, that could probably stop it.

@ty4er - Bad idea, no offense, but the chosen arenas are part of the rules.

@Vertigo - Yup can't use it.

@NFX - Tried it, failed.

At what point does it havok? When it tries to turn?

S.T.C. · « **Reply #23 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:51:55 PM »

Everytime it tries to move, it only lags on the KoTH arenas. I've tried it in other arenas and it works fine.

Whats up with Jaws of Defeat's and havoking lately? First Jaws of Defeat in Tag Team Tussle and now Jaws of Defeat Funsize in RA2 Trials. :P

JODF doesn't havok on my computer. I tried it in the KOTH arena and in a random assortment of others before I sent.

Edit: Did I also forget to send an AI line for JODF?

On the whole Jaws problem, you MIGHT be able to take a poll and see if anyone is against the skirt hinge fix. I certainly wouldn't be if it means preventing a disqualification.

NFX · « **Reply #26 on:** June 07, 2011, 05:13:42 PM »

I'm certainly not against it. I can't see how it would drastically affect any of the entrants thus far, aside from SKBT's jaws actually working.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #27 on:** June 07, 2011, 05:28:24 PM »

I tried the skirt hinge fix to see what happens and it still havoks.

and yes you did SKBT.

Incompetence: Interesting build. It actually looks like it could do well, but I think it'll fall down in the FttF. Not stable enough, I reckon.

Incompetence: good VS, can it self-right?

It can self right, and is quite stable. Only problem is that it is a little slow.

FINAL 4:

Jaws of Defeat Funsize, Puncture III, Incompetence, Micro Mako

NFX · « **Reply #29 on:** June 07, 2011, 06:43:20 PM »

JODF's position in the final four depends entirely on whether the havok gets fixed. If it doesn't, it could throw the whole tournament up in the air. I don't have any doubt that it won't be, though, it is simple enough to do. =]

Alright... then disqualification seems unavoidable.

SKBT · « **Reply #31 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:03:43 PM »

I just had an idea. Could I re-make JODF with a larger chassis and see if that works? I've got 4 kg to play with so I know the chassis can be a lot bigger.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #32 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:23:43 PM »

That's not really fair though, cause the tournament just started...idk, depends on what everyone else thinks.

If there's no real change to the function/effectiveness of the drive/weapon outside of removing havoc issues, I don't think it's a problem

Take a poll. Personally I don't care.

Urjak · « **Reply #35 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:51:36 PM »

Nor do I care.

~~I do because I'm selfish and don't want a good bot in the tourney that may compromise my impending victory!!!~~
I don't mind.

Let him I say.

G.K. · « **Reply #38 on:** June 08, 2011, 04:34:58 AM »

As an impartial outsider, I am fine with him doing that.

NFX · « **Reply #39 on:** June 08, 2011, 08:26:44 AM »

I'm perfectly fine with him trying to expand the chassis to avoid it.
