I think that it was just a typo in the vid.

Wait, I think it's the points made, not the results of the match (KO and TKO).
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

No, I think that FFU pwned IC and it was a typo.

I know I got destroyed, I just think it would be fair if the bot was edited to have normal wedges in the next rounds.

I don't think FFU's wedges actually go through the floor.  They probably just have messed up collision that makes it look like they're going under the floor when they're really not.

The only component I've seen that actually goes through the floor is the Ghost Wedge in FB's component pack, and that will snag and pop out of the floor whenever it encounters a seam between polys.  FFU doesn't ever snag.

Some good, if controversial, fights here.

Sometimes my axle wedges on FMLAF go under the floor when I enter the garage. They never snag.

I don't get it all.  We're 6 competitors now, 3 in the winners bracket and 3 in the losers bracket...

Now what are you doing exactly?

Well you know that a pod has a winner (but 2 in the first round) well its a pod with the 3 losers of the semis, but the winner of the pod moves onto the final.
So then that makes 4 finalists.

Simply brilliANT.

EDIT: I would complain about Mutant Dragonfly pinning Haunt to be counted out, but I know Haunt wouldn't have had a chance against obZen anyways, so I won't.

lol on the use of BrilliANT!
Yeah, that pin was rather illegal, but if you noticed when Haunt was being counted out, MDVIII.V wasnt moving, so Haunt could of self righted then gotten out then when MD wasnt moving, besides, its how the AI work.

Pinning ? Illegal ? That's much less illegal than S32's win by havok...

Plus the fact is that MDVIII IS better than Haunt, and Haunt wasn't designed to self-right easily anyways.

Semi-Finals!

FfU vs. DestroyerWDB: Uneventful towards the end... being counted out like that is lame. Destroyer had a good chance of winning if he hadn't flipped. I was kinda' proud of that one hit of mine that stripped all of the armor and damaged the control board.

Purple Pest vs. Hope No more: Lawl when the house robot rolled over Hope No More for kicks. Then the house robot just got in the way of the battle.

Mutant Dragonfly vs. ObZen: Mutant Dragonfly is one sick looking bot... But ObZen owns as a pop-up to me. The problem with pistons and such (for me) is that if you're pinned in a corner with your weapons facing away, you're pretty much a goner.
The real problem with reality is the absence of background music.

Yeah, I think it is easy to tell from how badly mine was damaged in one hit that the armor is really weak on it. And I thought that I would of won if I did not flip over, although it is able to drive on its back like that but I think that the AI isn't able to do that.

Yep. Judging by the 2nd Quarters, Destroyer obviously can self-right. So can FfU, but neither were AIed to do so.

The same thing happened in RAW. Even though my wheels were still touching the ground, when I was flipped over it would not move.

And when I am flipped over using one of my robots that works like that, I normally drive it into the wall until it flips back over.

Also these house bots aren't as deadly as Mad said. Keeps havoking (entertaining though) and not that damaging...
Yea, I tuned it down a bit, else it was a bit too devastating. If you desire to change only 1 number in its python, it could be tweeked to be a 'one-touch-kill'.... instant death:evilsmile:. Hehe.  (Sage could probably show you how...)

oh well.
