Post by: MassimoV on September 01, 2013, 12:33:35 PM: Tesla's Revenge: Robot clone
Mad Max: Pretty cool, but he never did the 4wd.
Lucario: Does that even spin? I don't see a motor for it. Probably Won't get too far.
Launch Platform: Solid design
Travis: Byebot, meh.
Good For It: Playzooki, you lazy loser. It still looks like crap. Build something else.
Dr. Demolition 2.0: Good bot, but lazy re-entered from BB7.
Vroom: SKBT, you lazy old man. I'm mostly angry though cause it will probably go really far.
Caliente: Man whoever made this is a totaly stud muffin.
Panxhar 2: A bit boring.
Cheatbot: C'mon Thyrus....
Articulator: A good upgrade to a solid bot.
Manhattan Project: Again...
Son of Hurricane: Although I like this bot, ENTER SOMETHING NEW PEOPLE!
Waker!: No.
Ping Winz: Well he fixed it up a little from his showcase which is good. Still a little bland.
Eight: Re-enter, blargh...
Forkie: It's Forkie.
Industry 2: Looks solid.
Robot: Chris, you're lazy...
Jupiter 2: Byebot.
Zeros: Assuming byebot.
Lucky Sevens: It's good.
Crasp Drone Jr.: Re-enter, but only once. I still like it.

It's gonna win, basically. I'll admit I was disappointed when I saw it in the splash, but ah well.
Title: Re: RNP: Poker Night at the Arena - SBV
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on September 01, 2013, 02:40:02 PM: How many robots go through to the next round? If it's 1 out of 3 then I don't like my chances. If it's 2 out of 3 then I should be fine. DD2.0 tore me apart at BB7 and Robot's arm is just the right length to go over my frontal shield and rip into me. If I get flipped, it's over. I'm optimistic and it's not the worst draw I could've had, but my luck always seems to run out in these competitions.

Post by: Badnik96 on September 01, 2013, 04:08:14 PM: Really doubting my robot's chances against Crasp Drone, Caliente looks like it'll be easy.
Title: Re: RNP: Poker Night at the Arena - SBV
Post by: helloface on September 01, 2013, 05:54:32 PM: I might be able to get past Eight if I can get to his chassis, but those spikes look like a solid defence so I doubt it. I'm lacking confidence in Ping winz because it's generic and the weakest of my 4 main weight classes.

Crasp Drone Jr. or Robot to win.

Post by: Probably Rob on September 01, 2013, 07:27:08 PM: Quick question guys, do you want music during the matches? Because it's poker themed, if you say yes, keep in mind, the music would be jazz.

I've decided to use music for the Playoff, Final, and Rumble.

Apologies for audio quality during the matches, I've now updated a driver, so hopefully it's fixed for the next round. If not, ah well.

Meh. Battlebots 8 won't allow multibots.

I'm going to go improve an old recipe...

Post by: Paranoia on September 01, 2013, 10:39:12 PM: I'm surprised Mad Max actually won and didn't get gut-ripped by Vrooom. At least I made MassimoV a bit happier by knocking it out contrary to his predictions.

Post by: helloface on September 02, 2013, 01:24:28 AM: I'll accept that defeat. I fought hard, with a bot I lacked confidence in but at least I did some damage. I'm happy with that.

Title: Re: RNP: Poker Night at the Arena - SBV
Post by: Thyrus on September 02, 2013, 06:43:57 AM: that was a very good round 2!

match one wasn`t that supprising. Eights opponent didn`t do much in round 1 and it was quite obvious eight would win
match two was unexpected but I hoped it would go that way just to have an oota in the tourney
match 3 could have gone either way since the weapons have been basicly the same. thanks for this macht craaig! I win this title for you <3 :P
macht 4 was the best imo. Mad Max works alot better when inverted it seems. I thought Articulator had it in the beginning but flipping mad max over was it`s downfall (oh ironie).

predictions for round 3:

Eight > Launch Platform
Cheatbot > Mad Max (bye bye weapon motor)
Title: Re: RNP: Poker Night at the Arena - SBV
Post by: Probably Rob on September 02, 2013, 06:56:37 AM: The Rumble is safe, I'm still going to do that, but I might do something with it.

Grudge matches.

I may or may not do them, but that depends if YOU want them to happen.

Do you have beef with someone, maybe during a match that took place, or maybe you want revenge on someone from the HoriZon who also participated here?

Go all in, and continue the rivalry!
Title: Re: RNP: Poker Night at the Arena - SBV
Post by: ty4er on September 02, 2013, 07:04:02 AM: bleh, of course that would happen. good job anyway redace, didn't really expect that. but of course i have terrible luck in irl tournaments so i probably should've expected that

anyway, i think eight could win this
