So the only HS of the heat won. Anyone surprised ?

I kinda have to agree with S_M on Devil's victory (it won by basically doing nothing), but it didn't changed much the end anyway. Also, it's the irremediably ghey pit's fault.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: NFX on May 10, 2012, 10:48:16 AM
Agreed with the dodgy call on Devil. But I thought it was quite a good video, the sort of minigame things in the middle kept it quite interesting, rather than just fighting right the way through. Looking forward to the next heat.

PREDICTIONS:

sabotage: that is not going to score a single ko
devil:  :SFTW, of course most of the stock ai are SFTW's so no surprise here
tyrannical behavior: looks really flippable
atomic: wedge is going to suck
deadblow: another favorite for this heat
tailwhip: ew square extenders could win the heat, but not too sure with terrorhurtz around
supernova: could beat some of the unwedged bots in its heat
terrorhurtz: not too sure of its srimech but it could go far if it gets good matchups

Yay! Could you post up all the spashes or are you going to do it week by week? Also, the Sumo thing - I think it would've been better if you showed a screenshot of the bot that was fighting at that moment in time.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos

Hmm I'll make up Sumo Splash tomorrow, then. It'll include all the Sumo contestants. I may do the same for King of the hill

and yeah incredibly cheap immobilization was incredibly cheap
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Jonzu95 on May 10, 2012, 04:15:06 PM
I'm not going to upload the splashes. Didn't the entries were secret in RW too?

Also it's not my fault if someone builds too slow robot.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Badnik96 on May 10, 2012, 06:43:20 PM
the robot was obviously moving back and forth fine. You could have called the match saying Devil had lost its tire first and had been immobilized (according to RW rules) and continued from there.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Mr. AS on May 10, 2012, 06:50:23 PM
yeah what the @_@ was with rammingspeeds bot just moving back and forth not even bothering to avoind not being immobilized ?

PREDICTIONS:

razor- :SFTW
m.a.c.e.- its... big?
behemoth- might win the heat
rick- its ok
iron awe- going to get raped by a flipper...
firestorm- another bot that could win the heat
steelapocalypse or however you spell it- 3rd favorite for this heat
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Jonzu95 on May 11, 2012, 09:38:44 AM
I see a problem with this heat: rules said it had to be an IRL bot.

Steel Apocalypse is not an IRL bot (part of chasis above weapon)
it IS IRL, Clearly.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: NFX on May 11, 2012, 09:45:16 AM
It could be a ring spinner. Ring spinners can't be built in RA2, but they're perfectly acceptable IRL bots.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos

Actually AS brings up a good point, unless jonzu changed ripblade and MR to MW.

But they suck anyway.

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Naryar on May 13, 2012, 02:04:52 PM
Personally I like Spurdo. Maybe because it's a troll bot, or maybe because the original cartoon is funny.

Anyway, I like the look of Bullet- what kind of drive does it use? I'm guessing Four RADs, but I'm not sure.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: NFX on May 13, 2012, 03:27:25 PM
I believe it is. 4 RADs might be inefficient, but it's reasonably powerful. It all hinges on wedginess, though. I've still got a concept bot I built for Summer Sumo (kill's old Tabletop idea) with 4 RADs, and it's relatively nippy. Not as much as 2 HPZ's, though, but still. Rule of cool and such.

Ah, OK. So I wasn't far off- and I like the look of the realistic 4WD. Mr Kill has a similiar drive system.

But that's stupid. The splashes are supposed to be there so that we can make predictions and have a sense of pride or doubt going into the match. Whenever you post the splash, the video is posted at the same time.

You can't keep using 'deal with it' as an argument. And just because you pointed it out doesn't mean it's not stupid or that my point is invaild.

Jonzu, you are free to do whatever you want (unless the splash thing isn't actually in the rules); Preytor is just making a recommendation, and it's a very valid one that you should consider.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos

I've said it multiple times that I post splash per week, and yet I still get complains about it.  :ermm:

Because people are used to having one splash posted with all bots and being able to make predictions right away and have some thought of what the outcome of a match may be.

Yeah used to, but every tournament is not similar. Besides, Splashes are posted after each video, so you guys have always 1 week time to predict the heat winner. For example, when the Heat B is uploaded to YT, you get the Heat C splash.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: NFX on May 17, 2012, 05:18:04 PM
I suppose it does make it more like the actual series were, when you only found out who was fighting who during that week's episode, while retaining the prediction factor. Perhaps a week is a bit long, though, if people are getting a little impatient with it.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Thyrus on May 17, 2012, 08:45:43 PM
But Jonzu is right. Even if he hadn`t mentioned it in the rules he could post the splashes as he does now.
Also why do you need predictions? The game can be a bi*ch somethimes letting the better bots loose.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos

Post by: Noodle on May 17, 2012, 10:38:00 PM
So if we get one heat every week with 16 heats plus semifinals, finals, and other battles, this tournament is gonna take half a year to do.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that's f-cked up.

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: Naryar on May 18, 2012, 04:23:28 AM
Jonzu you REALLY should post splashes before videos, so we actually can have predictions or something. It's totally pointless if you post splashes and videos at the same time. And this is for everyone's sake. Also, this is coming from a moderator.

But i will not have any more complaining about tourney length here. One half year is pretty standard for a large tournament with so many entries. jonzu, you are fully allowed to delete any whining about this being long as long as you keep your 1 heat per week schedule.

Has joeblo or clickbeetle ever faced "too long" comments for their largest tournaments ? I don't think so. I believe this may be a case of pointless jonzu bashing.

Considering the damage potential of most other bots, I'd say that tiger would not risk losing it's legs.

Besides, all wheels have the same HP in stock.

I would rather Razer was kept as it was, personally. It's sort of cheating to change an entrant after the videos have started, even if it is effectively a Byebot.

razer: it could do well
hakurakeonkaewhatever: looks like a good deweaponer... that is if jonzu decided to balance hammers
spycam: WTF
raging hard on knightmare: pretty good chance at getting past round 1
kronic the wedgehog: ok
spin bonker: gets flipped and counted out
bot choy: spike strips have normals and therefore this wont do much damage

Full predictions :

The Last Soldier : It's barely IRL but well... one of the best bots in this thing by far.
Razer : Looks decently good, seeing most of the rest. Top four or five. I'd actually like to see it win because it's a hammer.
Hakurouken : Looks pretty fragile and slow weapon. Even with a HPZ.
Spycam : It looks quite a bit like SFTW, and is probably gonna be as good as SFTW anyways. Maybe just a bit better.
Raging Knightmare : Probably the wedgiest bot of the heat. although it doesn't look like it can OOTA stuff. Probably pretty bad, although maybe it can win a few things by judge's decision.
Kronic the Wedgehog : Although probably a flipper, it looks pretty bad and generally harmless. :SFTW
Spin Bonker : Top three of the whole heat, although possibly not the best.
BOT-CHOY : Still the same old BOT-CHOY. Unless it falls on a flipper and gets immobilized it's probably going to fair decently.

Overall ranking :
TLS - #1
Spin Bonker - #2
Razer - #3
Hakurouken- #4
BOT-CHOY- #5
Raging Knightmare - #6
Spycam - #7
Kronic - #8

Hakurouken doesn't even look realistic.
It looks sort of similar to Hammertron from Series 3 of Robot Wars. It could be built, sledgehammers are pretty terrible weapons anyway in Stock, I can't really see what the problem is, personally.

I need to add few notes here

- Thyrus, the bot that is in the KOTH splash, was the final version of the bot you sent me.
- Chaosmancer changes the name from Mixer to Blender.
- Razer is finally finished, now with srimech & better wedge so it wont suck compared to the real version.
- Heat C video will be uploaded tonight, or tomorrow morning.

I can understand, but you shouldn't be able to change bots after signups have closed. It pretty much defeats the purpose of a deadline, plus it allows other members to tailor their bots to better fight other bots in the competition.

i'm pretty sure I've sendet you the final version of 0.75 that uses razors. can I at least resend the razor version for the mainbraket since I havn't seen my opponents thus making it not unfair?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: NFX on May 22, 2012, 08:08:04 AM
If Jonzu can alter Razer, then I see no problem with you being able to send in the other version of your bot, especially if you haven't seen your heat yet.

Hmm...saying that nothing is happening is like saying that nothing is happening  with Zero Punctuation. It's not that nothing is happening, it's just that it happens on a weekly basis, and no amount of snarky complaining will change the fact that these things will happen on a weekly basis (unless something else comes up that stops them from being able to do it when they are supposed to). Although it is probably just you trying to annoy Jonzu, or just generally being bored and wanting to complain about something random, thus resulting in you re-iterating a complaint that was already answered seven to eight pages ago. If you really want the times changed that badly, come up with a constructive argument, or something, but this tournament follows Jonzu's decisions (within the degrees of fairness), but you also need to remember that it may be weekly because he doesn't really have the time to do anything, other than at weekends (what with usage restrictions etc.).

I at least think that is about right...

Him being in Greece kind of made it impossible to do the recordings etc. (well, not impossible, but there is the cost of internet at hotels, as well as the fact that it is probably more fun to be doing things in Greece instead of playing RA2 (which is why I mentioned 'unless something else comes up that stops them from being able to do it when they are supposed to' in my previous post)).

Chrysalis looks the coolest out of them all, I reckon, but Wild Thing's probably closest to its IRL counterpart.

I'll say MOE and Chrysalis to go through, along with Typhoon 3 and Wild Thing. Typhoon 3'll probably go through to the semi-final, though.

That's just a RA2 glitch that he can't do anything about. It LOOKS like the real thing as much as possible with Stock (as far as I know) and that's what counts. Now please stop this useless whining.

you mean that he cant put it on a anchor ????
im sorry but i dont think he should be pitting unrealistic (pussycat, typhoon, moe) vs irl bots (the rest), if all the bots in the tourney were unrealistic/realistic it'd be fine, ill let him go along with it seeing it doesnt effect the battlewortiness of the bots anyway but im just voicing my opinion

also is it ok if i send you updated bindings before my heat jonz ?

Also, since Kurt had a go, I'm feeling like it too.

Phillipa: "This is Vertikiller. The first Robot Wars entry from team RusThyBits. You guys traveld all the way from germany to compete today. Tell me about your robot"
Me: "It`s an invertible Robot with two vertical spinning discs. They could do some damag out there"
Phillipa: "Sounds nice. You`re up against Fluffy, Ronin and the Sock. Which of those are you most scared of?"
Me:"It`s propably Fluffy. We`ve seen what they are capable of but we will try our best to avoid the spinner"
Phillipa: "Sounds like a good plan. Good luck out there."

Jonathan: A though looking machine, invertible, but the gap between the two spinning discs could be a weak spot of this killer.

my thoughts

incisor garity2 and da dog- big and vunerable chayayaydsififdhais with little attack power so it'll obviously fail soon
bushido- in testing search and destroy was veeeery vunerable against it, so im glad im not it its match
animu and mango- gotta go fast
spawn again and wave priest- again flippers with no offense !
259- one of 3 bots with actual weapons... it'll go far if it can selfright

my thoughts

crazy harry: it sucks. no really it looks worse than lugnut, and thats saying something, are those rads exostacked O_O
lugnut: boring stock rammer, looks more annoying than tough really, iirc it has rads
bb: this for heat final
d2: not very effective, but its a replica so i suppose its to be expected
mute: anglers are going to come off quickly and then it'll just fail
pa: meh its ok
kracken: WTF is this exactly ? its even worse than crazy harry !
tdm: also this for heat final

all in all 3/10 heat apply yourself

my thoughts
bullet- <3 skin but probably wont do too well in all honesty
famine- its... okay, but the samurai sword with normals get int the way of the sledges which arent that good anyway
mortis- meh
wod- also ok
megabyte- this to win heat
packie- weaponless flipper = blah, ramplates dont do little to no damage so dont say that ramplates are the weapon
mr brownstone- it was better with the tribar really, but still could do good
bulldog breed- good skin but also will get killed by megabyte

god I got a horrible heat, predicting Bullet and Mortis from round 1 and me and Megabyte from round 2, then I beat bullet (though it could go either way) and Megabyte beats Mortis, which then loses to me (samurai swords and exposed anglers on megabyte ftw). Doubt I can make it to the final but we'll see.

Louis Theroux: "Yes, I am here with Nate Franklin for our first wars."

Phillipa: "Nate, who are you most worried about fighting?"

Nate: "Megabyte worries me a lot."

Louis Theroux: "Nate will. I'll be operating the flipper."

I really like the looks of Detonator. That's how IRL should be done.

Although I reckon we're going to see a combination of Blender, Thermidor or Chaos 2 in the final. Spike may surprise us, given how well Splinter performed. Second rumble's going to be a great one to watch, I reckon, could go any way.

Sparkey did a nice job with his bot. I like it. Thinking Cupcake and Tornado in the heat final, Steel Avenger has a shot as well.

Is it a flipper or just a wedge? because none of the other bots in your first match (except for maybe Mighty Mouse or 13 Black) can self right reliably.

Yes, none of the bots can self-right, except for two of the three bots you are fighting. =D Flippers aren't really as dominant as we thought before it started, it seems to be a case of "how many weapons can you get on your bot if you aren't Splinter".

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 8 - Videos
Post by: NFX on August 25, 2012, 08:00:33 PM
Diotoir has been very well executed. Good and innovative component use. =P I also quite like the look of Hirashuriken, with the exception of the overly long swords, and exposed motors at the back on those fragile-looking extenders. Bot Fly's skin, however, is fantastic.
 
Also wondering when the King Of The Hill final will happen, and what - if anything - will go between Round 1 and 2 of the remaining heats.

Ooh, looks like I've got some pretty tough opponents in this Heat- with the likes HypnoDisc and Kat 3 about, I think Cheap as Chips is the least of my worries. Still, I'm quietly confident- the other two have no srimechs, so I could flip them over to win, and then if I'm fighting TAN later on, I could beat it on a Judge's decision by flipping it around.

I'll say Supernova and Firestorm. There's still a part of me that thinks Iron Oxide should be there instead of Wave Priest, but it's just the luck of the draw, I suppose. Really can't see it going much further, though, it's got a pretty tough rumble.

The Semifinal Splashes works in a different way... Supernova, The Last Soldier, Firestorm and Vertikiller will be fighting from Final spot, and Typhoon 3, Shredder, M2 and Wave Priest for the second Final spot...

Oh, so it's just two four-way rumbles, with the last bot standing? Sounds okay. I'll go for Firestorm and Typhoon 2, then. What's going to be happening between fights this time?

No no no, they're not rumbles... Supernova will be up against TLS, and Firestorm is up against Vertikiller. Then both winners goes to Semifinal Round 2 to fight for the Grand Final Spot...
