New videos may be done tomorrow.

[GroudonRobotWars]

Bleh, either today or tomorrow I should do the videos.

[GroudonRobotWars]

TP. Quarter Final Videos are now up!!

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Time for another Wedge War!
In theory, I have worse wedges, we'll have to see though.

[NFX]

I thought his instability would count against him. I got worried when I bounced off the wall, I thought maybe he was going to punt me out on a lucky spikeball hit. But now I have Urjak, that should be a great match. Hopefully I've got enough width to take him on. =)

[madman3]

Easier than I thought it would be, but that was still pretty close. Good bot Ty.

SM next. All down to wedges here, and if you remove wedges from the equation we're pretty evenly matched, with similar drive speed and chassis width. I'm worried that his wheels aren't as exposed as mine others, which could ruin my usual wheel-stripping tactic. Still, if I get under him I should get this.

Hopefully his skirts will be worse than my wedge components, but either way I'm not sure at all about the result.

[GroudonRobotWars]

Should be an interesting Semi finals, but also don't forget 2 out of the 4 bots will lose, and the bots that lose will go into the fight for 3rd.

[ty4er]

ah
good match madman, nice bot there

[cephalopod]

damn instability. Sometimes it's fine, then, meh. Gratz anyhow :) Also, top 8, that's pretty good for me (':

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Am I one of the few people to have their name shortened part way along a bracket?

[GroudonRobotWars]

Semi finals will be done on Saturday.

[GroudonRobotWars]

DP. Videos are up!!

[NFX]

1) Why did my robot drive straight into the wall at the start?

2)

Just make sure the hazards are turned off this time.

For the RW Arena only they will be.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Well I'm in the final. Safe to say I'm happy with second.

[madman3]

Dangit. Guess I know what it feels like to be Marty now :P

But why did my bot turn straight in front of SM at the beginning? Was it AI error or something?

My best guess is it was avoiding the hazards. In exactly the same way as Hairline Fracture was when it drove itself directly into the wall. The thing is, after what happened to me when I reached this stage last time, quite a lot of why I decided to actually enter this time was due to GRW explicitly telling me that the hazards would be turned OFF in the RW Arena, which I have quoted in my previous post. I think I have a right to feel cheated, and I'm actually both wanting and expecting him to turn the hazards off and film the matches again.
