Well, looks like one of the Battlebugs will actually get to face off against one of Scrap's creations.

Liking my chances.

My only chance against Mantis is that the doctor can somehow get under Mantis and surgically remove that weapons cage.  And by surgically I mean ripped clean off.

Rob: Cool, chassis is way too exposed.
Me!: Lel, ain't sayin anything.
090901: Ugh, the perfect size to chew up my bot.
ty4er: Sweet.
Mazakari: metal hinge=poor show
playboyzooki: Ok no. That isn't realistic at all. Needs an update.
Sheild: Not bad for relative newcomer. A little generic.
Camaro Kid: :SFTW, but atleast it's realistic.
Marty: That's one small chassis, pretty cool lookin'.
Scrapyard: Nice skin. I give it a thumbs up.
DSC: It's DSC...
Kossokei: And the series continues... I hope it does well.
Vroom: SKBT is always strong, will probably do well.
PR: Pretty cool, a bit bland.
HF199: Ehh, he's new, I won't be hard on him.
Virus Bomb: Ballin' as always.

Regarding Playzooki:

Is that regarding the weapon, or how the weapon is constructed?

Mazakari: metal hinge=poor show

I'M SORRY the skirt hinge was too wide and looked crap.

Also, poor show because it's crap, or poor show because it's cheap?

Post by: Mr. AS on May 17, 2013, 09:33:07 PM
razors on flails are not irl. if he replaced it with sledgehammers on a dsl bar it could atthe very least pass as crappy IRL.

manhatten project is looking nice as always. predicting virus bomb to win, and maybe the drum to come close but ultimately lose to some HS.

He needs a support cage. I doubt a simple extender can hold a bulky motor like that IRL

Lol at the completely DSL standard bot into an IRL tournament. It's gonna rape the other entries so very much it won't be even funny.

why did you accepted metal hinges in battlebots 6 then ?

Camaro Kid: :SFTW, but atleast it's realistic.

Well I always wanted to build a rammer. The only concern is the weaponry as I haven't tested that version of the robot. I had the original with 123's Steel Blades instead of the spikes

oh god playzooki's robot isn't IRL at all

exposed weapon motor, flail razors, all so very wrong.


If he doesn't respond can I take his spot?
Title: Re: RNP: The HoriZon - SBV

Sure.

Will I be able to have your robot now, just in case?

It should be whoever sends in their bot first after the 1 week period is up.

Mazakari: metal hinge=poor show

Cause sometimes it can work. Like if FOTEPX hadn't had them on Toriodore it would look a little awkward.
Can you start filming the other matches before you get playzooki's update?

It was accepted, and is a damn sight more realistic that some IRL entries over RNP and BB6. I can assume there aren't too many complaints as to it's legitimacy?

There's also the point that he said metal hinges were poor sportsmanship, and not "shouldn't be allowed"
Title: Re: RNP: The HoriZon - SBV

Shall I just save the argument and amend the entry? I'm sure a chassis wedge and extra armour won't hinder my chances at all.

Hence why I'm willing to change.

I'd rather lose and be told 'LOL CHASSIS WEDGE YOU SUCK', than 'LOL CHEAP HINGE AND YOU STILL LOST'.

He's pretty close to an acceptable update.

'nik (and anyone else), if you're still interested, rumble slots are still open - obviously.

Good news for Badnik 96, My DSl is corrupt. And when I reinstalled it, I lost half of my bots!
The bad news is, I still have GOOD FOR IT!  :yaya)

Post by: Badnik96 on May 20, 2013, 02:33:14 PM
While it's better I don't like the polycarb extenders on Playzooki's bot. The top support looks way too fragile and you can barely see it.
Title: Re: RNP: The HoriZon - SBV

I wonder how the rest of the field stacked up for the rumble?  If placing was done by points Dr. Demolition would probably be in the top half of the field for eliminating two robots from the rumble.  If not, then it would've placed poorly.
