I like your plan Andy, my blades are low enough to hit your wedge, and my special custom skirt like thigns are designed specifically to stop that kind of attack, so good luck with it. Also the spinner rign makes playing pushy bots very difficult as i can just slip to the side as you dont have a proper grip on me.
My best bet here is probably to strand Flank Attack on the arena sidewall with my flipper, that five centimetres (i believe that was it) looks good to me :p
Nice battles, Martijn :)
I never said anything was going to work did I? :proud:
I know I didnt word it properly but I know about all of those features and was hoping that when wedge meets tooth, Tengu jumps onto the wedge or even jumps in the air slightly on impact so SOR can get under.
In other words bob hope and no hope.
Im afraid to say it would more likely just knock you away to the side, with a slight jump.
Wow, nice fights Martjin. Really awesome stuff. My first FRA win, not including AI, with Flank Attack! Almost reminds you of a certain person who won their first Heat Final with a robot called Tough as Nails eh? =P
Now, for the next stuff!
You were correct, Chris, but it only has 5cm under the largest part of the body. It varies, but to be honest, it makes no difference. Its just one of those things I like to point out. =P
Now lets see... oh man, holy crap. If people thought that Flank Attack would go out of control, then I can say for certain that 30mph will send Love Bite out of control! My SHW robot doesnt even go that fast! Anyway, Im pretty sure almost all Firestorm flippers require presicion driving, especially when they want to do things that reqiure such presicion as to strand me on the side wall. Its going to be hard to do such things with a 30mph top speed.
So basically what I want to do, is to keep my plow facing his wedge at all times. My plow is 0mm GC while hes 3mm GC on all sides. So that should add to my favor. Im going to play the defensive here, and wait for him to miss the target, and then strike on his out of control robot. There, Ill close my pincers on him, and then take him for a Highway to Hell. He has some nice armor, but Im sure 3 tons of crushing force on both sides will put the squeeeze on that robot.
I have to stop writing such long paragraphs. =P
30mph is the top speed, most control sticks are analogue, though hey, bit late to be throwing that out now, so writers discretion there, dont want any arguements :p
I do need to find a way around that plough, if he is that good at controling it, thats going to be a problem, might well call for those analogue control sticks to keep me at a decent speed, again, writers discretion, i typed nada about that in the stats and its not like winning this fight will do anything for me in the real world. Otherwise, if it doesnt look like i can strand him on the wall, i guess ill just have to look for one chance to ram and maybe pincer him.

Hey, whatever which way it goes, at least we have more robots in the tourny! =P
...stupid editing rule...
P.S
By the way, one little pet peve (or however its spelled) is my last name. MacWilliams =P You see, about a century ago or so McWilliams would have been correct, but ever since the Irish started to come into America it was changed to MacWilliams. A tiny thing, but it sorta irks me. Especially when those teachers do it.
Another thing, I just wanted to point out that its going to be extremely hard for me to be stranded against the arena wall since my body shape pretty much assures at least one wheel is on the ground. And even then, my body can changed shape at a press of a button; the pincers button! =P
Thanks for telling me that :p I guess its the old head to the pit release from the off then :p
Youre welcome! =P
By the way Chris, do you want to team up to take out that pit release button? That thing looks vicious! =P
