Thoughts on Round 4:
Yeah, I was quite surprised to see that as well, my bots throwing two OOTA that way.
Yeah I thought that was hilarious. You've got some good shunting force for sure.
Vs Big Disc Club
another OOTA like expected
Again, a shame for Fracture, but the bot seems very unbalanced. Even when the dics has worked as intended, it doesn't take much of a push to send it into "spikeball" mode.
Vs Big Time Hammer
expected a loss but looks like the wedges worked and Big Time Hammer was pushed up high enough that it wouldn't hit.
Also is it just me or was Big Time Hammer's Flame not working in all of the matches?
A surprise for me as well. I thought you wouldn't get under him and the hammer would have field day on your rather large and exposed top side. I hadn't noticed the flame not working before? He linked it to his forward drive control, so it seems to switch off if his bot is still/not pushing forwards (conserves CO2 maybe?).
Vs Still Sucks
Wedge War and like I expected, I lost it. Gotta find out why the original Snowy had such good wedges(think the front wheels weren't touching the ground?)
Lol at the delayed end and Still Sucks using Snowy to clean up the entire arena.
Still sucks has done a lot of sweeping in this tournament so far haha, it's a really nice design, but you fought well.
Vs Tidehunter
Same story, funny how the N12 wheel temporarily stopped the blade.
That's actually happened a couple of times. Even in testing against someone, a ram plate lodged itself between the spinners and it stopped for the entire match haha
vs YouWishIWasAGirl
Thought it would be over after the wedges failed to work, loved the double flip and somewhat surprising victory.
A good game for sure. I thought 090901 would steam roll the competition as that flipper is so dam powerful, but it seems the wedges in this tourney are very good!
Vs Conundrum V5
This bot was originally built to fight Conundrum v5(for a challenge, not this tournament) and while it's wedges worked right it won almost every match. Just me or was Conundrum v5 wobbling around at the start?
If the first wedge fight fails thats where it's usually over, my bot was able to recover a bit but it didn't work out.
It did look a bit shakey to me, not sure why? Maybe we can have a challenge after the tournament and settle this once and for all ;) but don't forget they will still play against each other in Round 7...
Overall, not as good as it could've been with fully working wedges, but still a great performance.
I would be happy with that performance. Still plenty of matches to play and you beat some tough bots earning quite a few points so far.
