Entry sent (AI comming later :P)

______________________________________________________________________________________


Anyone who is entering and needs to have a bot AI'd send it to me as well as Preytor. It makes things easier for both me and him.

Also please be nice to me and AI your bot yourself if you can. I may or may not do a better job than what you can do.

I'd rather you didn't tell us what bot types people are entering, would most likely give away my bot

EDIT: My bad, didn't read the rules properly

Oh great, I can't enter a popup :/

That, is a mega-flawed rule, two people will have to send a bot knowing they will lose

Entry sent

Entry sent.  Go team Face Spinner!

I was tempted to bite the bullet and build a flipper... but I was more in the mood to revise Hellbringer after 3 years.  I will note for potential builders that Hellbringer2 is invertible, but has one weak spot that it could land on and be counted out if it faces a flipper.  :D

Oh, and Pwn should totally make a hammer for this.

Is a true popup and weaponed flipper the same?

I was thinking about it but due to going on holiday I won't have as much time although I could have an hour to do it.

No.

Structurally they are very similar, but they differ in their goals. A true popup aims to DAMAGE first and destroy it's opponent, and a weaponed flipper aims to FLIP first and OOTA/immobilize his opponent. The damage done by a weaponed flipper is just a plus for trying to get more points and generally isn't going to get rid of your opponent.

AKA: True popups spam razors (most of the time), and weaponed flippers have stronger flipper motors, but less damaging weapons.

My robot is on the exchange. It is called K-T and it is more of a Reverse Side Hammer :laughing. And I can not AI.

*watches rules and detects loophole*

So, does someone feels like making a razor 36HS spammed with casters and a small wedge on a random snapper and absolutely dominate the competition ? :trollface

I was going to do that  :trollface

Title: Re: Wedge War
Post by: Preytor_4 on July 29, 2011, 11:12:44 AM
Why?

Because it really isn't a hammer.

it's a side hammer...
Title: Re: Wedge War
Post by: RpJk on July 29, 2011, 11:33:48 AM
Yes that is why I said REVERSE SIDE HAMMER.
Title: Re: Wedge War
Post by: 090901 on July 29, 2011, 02:46:25 PM

Which means it's a clamp then.
Title: Re: Wedge War
Post by: RpJk on July 30, 2011, 02:56:04 AM
It's a side hammer/side flipper thingy.
Title: Re: Wedge War
Post by: Naryar on July 30, 2011, 06:57:08 AM
It is quite clearly a side hammer, and a bad one at that. Or a sidewards burst-using clamp.

But it doesn't break the rules, so it is fine.
Title: Re: Wedge War
Post by: Preytor_4 on July 30, 2011, 11:29:36 PM
Well, it's the 31st. And I highly doubt anybody else wants to join, so I'll find a program to auto make a bracket and then you can have a videos thread.
