RW3 Awards

Either one of those would be great- out of all the RW entries I submitted, Purse from Series 2 was the one I had the most trouble with- mainly in selecting a rep and laying its flipper out properly within the weight limit.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Stock or DSL?

[GoldenFox93]

DSL- it's very hard to make decent Stock reps.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Hmmmm. I have an Idea.

[GoldenFox93]

Hmmmm. I have an Idea.

Sounds good. What did you have in mind?

Nobody ever said your rep had to be a flipper. I entered horizontal spinners in both Replica Wars that I entered, and I made the finals with both of them. 360 wasn't even invertible. =] Maybe if you branched out with your designs a little bit more, that would help a little.

I didn't say I had to, but I was saying that I more had problems in trying to make the weapon look like the real thing with the weight.
 
And yes, I noticed. Like a reversal of fortune, almost- you came out of nowhere to get to the finals the first two times, whilst I took third in my first one, only to fail in my next two due to getting cherry-tapped at the end.

I enterd a crusher and 2 HS in replica wars. Two times I went out in round one and the last one came 4th

Maybe flippers aren't that suited to 4-way rumbles. Too much chance of them being taken out from behind. Mind you, I will admit that I had a certain amount of good luck on my side during my run. I think my bad luck comes whenever I end up building a robot with wedges.

[GoldenFox93]

OK- I guess yours was the better case to explain role-reversal, really. But even still- even to get to the finals would have been great, even if I didn't win. Even if to make up for lost ground on S_M taking me out.

Well, it certainly didn't do Vert any harm in Rep Wars, though- that knowledge, combined with my tradition of entering flippers, is what I tend to pin my hopes on.
And for most of the fight, it works well- both times I pretty much dominated my second-round melees (in both cases taking out opponents by flipping them OOTA) , but then ended up getting cherry-tapped by the lucky one you'd least expect to win.

Erm, in our fight I did more work than you did...
You just like to think a few flips was "significant". But I don't want some big fight (Replica grudge match much?)

Although I think from what I remember, you and I more wore them down as you took out one, and I got rid of Badnik- then I think Hazard used the damage Purse took from all of the other robots to ultimately KO it.
 
And the idea of a grudge match, eh? Sounds good to me   

[NFX]

If there's gonna be a Grudge Match, then I would like to be a part of that. =] I've been waiting two series to get a shot at Fox Boy.

I can say the same thing about you, Hamish  >:D

Excellent. But how can a flipper "wear them down"?

Well it would have to be round robin, no controversial rumbles.

Excellent. But how can a flipper "wear them down"? In throwing them around the arena, both doing slight damage, and allowing you to get in and attack  :P

1) Indeed, but it's still a fair sight better than the average replica flipper.
 
2) Either way is fine- it's just that rumbles tend to be more exciting. Yet, I'm OK with 1-on-1 fights, if that's what you want   

[Badnik96]

To the challenge board!

(seriously though, stop talking about it in my thread)

[Pwnator]

I wonder what would actually happen when JB submitted his bot in time so I didn't have to enter mine. o_o
