I'm confused, is this two Middleweights? or two Heavyweights?

two middle weights. an 800kg multibot means two 400kg bots. in ra2, 400kg is technically a HW, but its pretty much a mw.

ACAMS! Roboshark! get your butts on that list!

Mind if I join in this? If you would like Robo and Acams instead, i can pass for them. They are better builders than I.

Don't forget that one or more of the people that have signed up might back out or fail to enter a suitable robot when it comes time. Would be good to have ACAMS and/or Roboshark be ready to fill in if they notice and want to join in before the bot submission deadline.

I would suggest at times it makes sense to send a PM to veterans like ACAMS (or even myself) to grab their attention about a tournament people would like to have enter. It is easy to miss a thread for a time then feel you are too late to join in. A friendly PM can make all the difference.

Yea I have a feeling a couple of people on that list won't be here in a month probably.

I don't know if someone needs it, i have a MW flipper bot, it's slow and deals 0 damage, but it has a quite good flipping power, If you're such a desperate man just tell me.

GameKing3 · « **Reply #52 on:** August 15, 2009, 05:23:42 PM »

I am going to say that no one will probably want it because flippers that don't do any damage are not very effective because a lot of bots are invertable. The other main reason is because in a multi bot competition flippers are not usually that effective.

i had to expect that, you know, i'm not an expert.

What do you think about this instead?
(the spikes are mounted on tribars)

Edit: considering that i already have both bots ready i'll sign up for this (obviously if it's still possible)

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #54 on:** August 15, 2009, 06:22:43 PM »

Actually, depending on the arena, flippers can be very effective.

Even if there's no flip-out zone, on a multibot team flippers could still be effective. For example: use a flipper and a powerful VS; the flipper gets under a bot and flips it, and while the bot is tumbling around off balance or trying to self-right, the VS can come in and start kicking it around without needing to worry about getting under a wedge.

And I seriously doubt that everyone on the list on page 1 will actually submit bots in time. Whether or not you get in the tournament will all come down to when Sage accepts entries.

If no one's there yet, I'd like to sign up in the 32nd space please :)

If you need the space sage and Infinite agrees, I think we deserve another go at the Rolo/Spyguy team.

GameKing3 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 15, 2009, 08:03:54 PM »

I was wrong about the flipper/multi bot combo sorry for making that very bold statement based on only my personal experience with multi bot flippers. Thanks for correcting me click.
