I entered a box.

That's it. No weapons, just a white box with 4WD HPZ shinies. XD

And mine's a pretty good design, too. Hopefully I'll see it shove a few opponents around at least :P

You do realise signups aren't open yet. This is only the discussion/prototyping phase. =]

JoeBlo · « **Reply #43 on:** April 30, 2011, 08:21:59 PM »

I have an awesome idea..

now just have to write an AI for it :P

NFX · « **Reply #44 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:21:01 AM »

Oh, you and your AI escapades.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #45 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:39:24 AM »

My whole motivation for learning all this stuff from Mad was to increase the extent of the normal limits

NFX · « **Reply #46 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:44:07 AM »

Sounds good to me. =] Somebody's got to push the boundaries.

Quick question, are we allowed to use wedges for self-righting purposes?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #47 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:54:43 AM »

say Kill would you like me to have a go at reducing the claw top arena's size for this ?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 01, 2011, 09:31:10 AM »

oh yeah

you guys are going down :P

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #49 on:** May 01, 2011, 09:42:29 AM »

Oh dear god I just got the most insane idea for this...

Fracture · « **Reply #50 on:** May 01, 2011, 10:07:24 AM »

What happens if the time runs out? If it's based on points then, that'll put quite a bit of emphasis on Ramplates for your bot....

I will lol if a bot's control board gets destroyed due to Ramplate attacks. xD

Edit: And I think Clawtop is better suited for MWs. Flextop seems more like a LW arena to me with the big hole in the middle.

How is everyone thinking of all sorts of awesome/insane/great ideas?

All I can think of is "make a bot with the best wedge possible".

I can't help but think this will be a wedge war.

Maybe I'm wrong judging by the number of good ideas in this thread.

No time limit? In any case I don't think matches will last that long on the Clawtop.

Time will be set at three minutes

It could happen. :P Two bots drive off the arena while the other two with the exact same drive and power and equally good wedges engage in a wedge war where neither gets under the other and neither goes backwards or forwards.

NFX · « **Reply #53 on:** May 01, 2011, 05:04:42 PM »

I don't think a wedge stalemate is going to last three entire minutes. The thing is, once a robot is pushed off the side, chances are the opponent's going to drive off after it.

Don't worry Click. You always come up with great ideas eventually and when all else fails you can ask Firebeetle for advice too. :D

Badnik96 · « **Reply #55 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:08:16 PM »

6WD in da howss

yeah no

well maybe, depends on the wedge

NFX · « **Reply #56 on:** May 01, 2011, 06:17:21 PM »

A 6WD Middleweight? Good luck with that. =]

If you're interested in doing arena work for this, be my guest. I'll give you free reign to come up with ideas... Add me on messenger if you'd like, we can talk about it.

And no kinetic parts means NO KINETIC PARTS! Otherwise your "srimech" will start flipping bots off the top...

Also, it will be 1 on 1's, so no need to worry about anything like what Fracture described.

Darn, I forgot about this rule. Well, there goes my idea of chained drive motors...

Good thing I still have another idea for a devious creation.
