Nice....

Reier · « **Reply #2 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:20:53 AM »

A6tR looks nasty. Heck, MOST look nasty.
I'm gonna get beat real bad if I face Sage, Nar, R0B0, or H@z.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #3 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:25:16 AM »

Well, line ups are on another thread.
Im probably gonna get owned aswell, mines a SNS!

Reier · « **Reply #4 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:25:58 AM »

Lots of VS.

Naryar · « **Reply #5 on:** March 31, 2009, 12:02:37 PM »

Predictions:

Archy 6: Visibly more stable than the Archy we know, faster too, but it looks it's weapon is too heavy for the motor. I still bet he's going to bounce across the arena.

Chuzzle:

Crashman: Messssy wedge and far discs won't help this, however it's a fast juggler and it's the only bot to have snapper wedges besides mine, so still a good entry.

Destroyer WDB: Totally original. Not bad though.

FMLAF: As i built (well) half of this... it's a nice bot.

Far Cry: Another VS. Not bad again, but classic wedges and average speed won't help this when there's so many mako wedges on there.

FlamesfromUnder: Again a VS ?? And visibly not the best...

Haunt 5.1: Probably the best of the horizontal spinners out there. I can see that getting raped by the first undercutter that it will fight against. Might see the efficiency of that against VS.

HoHoHammers: Very well built poker, although i would have dumped rear armor and it dramatically misses a good wedge.

HnM 3.2: Fast, very powerful and i'm pretty sure i have the best wedge of all the tourney (followed closely by R1885). Even invertible. Main issue: exposed wheels if a VS begins to bounce all across the arena, or a bot manages to flank me.

Ice Blast:

Immortal Corruptor: VS, VS everywhere... wait, it's Jules, and we all know about Jule's vertical spinners. I wonder if it's better than Mako 4 ?

MD8: How original. Wedge is kinda poor compared to some of the others, however it is well built. We'll see about the combat efficiency.

obZen: Visibly much better than the RAW one. Rumors of the small wedges being awesome are to be tested against Mako wedges and snapper wedges, however...

panther: Only shell spinner in the competition. And a really average one IMO...

poison of Maatet: AND FINALLY WE'RE FINISHED WITH VERTICAL SPINNERS. This one is original, though. Not much defense though, not much weapon HP's and i have no faith in that wedge... We'll see.

Purple Pest: Only sawbot in the competition. I have it, and i can tell it's a good one... Has the potential to go far.

Thunder God: The by far coolest bot in the competition is by far not the better (not the worst, still). It's decently built, but axes on HS placed that way fail, and no wedge, probably going to get destroyed by the first undercutter it's going to met (

, even a VS could beat it).

I laughed when you used the SFTW pic, Naryar.

Looks like an interesting lineup. Could be more variety though.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #7 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:39:41 PM »

Yeah, i was expecting a little less VS.
Ahh well, maybe a good SFTW (or 2) is what this toruny needs to lighten things up.

Jules · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:12:22 PM »

I wonder what the line up would look like if I had never built Mako.
I think it would be mostly pop-ups, not sure though.

Naryar · « **Reply #9 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:13:35 PM »

@Redline: I'm going to use it more, and yeah it could have a little more variety.

a good SFTW

uuhh... aren't "good" and "SFTW" in total contradiction ?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #10 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:27:27 PM »

You know what i mean, like a 'good old' not good, blah blah blah

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2009, 04:07:25 PM »

I know that mine is a Mako Clone... And I don't really care since it still works pretty well.

But most of these do look pretty good, and I hope that I'll do better in here than I have in the other ones.

Jules, Mako was/is innovative and effective. And you put some work into it because of the inherent 'gyro-effect' issue, which makes it tuff to control (as Sombody found out with 'Smackinator'). I think that was a deterrent before Mako. In this case imitation is a form of flattery.

Yeah Jules, just think when someone copies you, they actually love you.

philetbabe · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2009, 03:09:20 PM »

My opinion :

Best paint job for Wham, TClee 's one looks good too.

Best constancy in bot Building For Reier who had explored almost all of the way to attach big hammer to piston.

Best "grandfather of all bots" for Jules : so many sons of Mako

Best WTF : Supernova

Best Uncommon weapon : Urjak

Best Horizontal Spinner (:):)) : Somebody showcased its bot, it is terrific !

Best inoffensive : Mine ! i knew it, but also most original AI .

Best shy bots : Naryar and Robosh4rk : they do :):):) want to show their weapons on the picture ... so cute ! so lovely !

Most adapted name for the picture : i like immortal corrupter , also like faceme like a fool

Just wait till you face one of them Phil. You'll see if they're that "cute"...

Does this help?

ShadowArts · « **Reply #19 on:** April 01, 2009, 04:07:24 PM »

Wooohoo! Vertical spinner = :):) matter what happens, I failed.

Fun first tourney though. Hanging around for all these months should be worth it. Thunder god is epic :D!
