Against All Scoop, Ill obviously aim to bring the disc into his sides and cause damage/flip him. If I do manage to overturn him, Ill try to strike the scoop as hes selfrighting and damage it. Ill aim to keep the disc towards him at all times, and if he runs at me front first, Ill try to hit him to one side of the scoop and hopefully knock him back.
I consider myself lucky, cause with a ground clearance of 0, Crusher C.U cant move itself
And the fact that Crusher C.U would be easily 20KG overweight, I think youve got a good chance at winning :wink:
RANDOM MINI TOURNY
BATTLE 1
ALL SCOOP AND NO STAB MAKE STEVE A DULL BOY VS Slice n Dice on Steroids
First up, open the Pit. I should have the advantage in speed and traction here, so the plan will be to charge the corners of SYNDOS and hopefully use my weightier scoop to slip under the skirts. Grapple with the axe and either dump it down the hole or chuck it over a wall.
I personally have to argue against all that, Martijn and Aaron! Robot will 0MM of ground clearance are able to move freely, and at good speeds.
And about Crusher C.U being too fat (:proud:), AJ said once that SOR 5.5 would be at least 400kg overweight. I rest my case.
This looks like a good tornument, with good robots entering.
Ps. I dont want to argue with you Martijn. Im just stating the facts.
Paul, take a nife and a piece of wood. Bring the knife RIGHT down to the wood and try and move it along it, wont go. same principle for a robot with 0mm ground clearance. You could have 0mm at the front say, but the back would be high enough to allow it to move, but a flat 0mm clearance... youll never go anywhere.
low ground clearance robots in real life get into all kinds of problems, because the surface they have to drive on are not flat either. The flippers and other bottomdwelling robots quite ofter tear the floor up by splitting the top layer of the floor from the rest of the arena.
If your robot is 0mm all the way round, in 99% of all arenas you are a stationary object.
Thing is, that when your both your wheels and your chassis touch the floor, you should be able to move forward, only just, when the floor is completely flat.
If this is the case in Daves arena... I have spikes on my bot that scrape over the ground. Driving over a merely scratched floor will get you stranded in notime.
0 gc bots work when only one side has 0 gc (flippers), or when its caused by skirts.
But if Dave decides to let you modify your stats (Id be fine with that, youre new here after all), Id happily state that my tactics will involve me being my annoying ramming self. Go for every weaponless side and slide my spikes under. Flip, ram, repeat, pit
OK - I get the point. Dave, Im puttoing my GC up my 3mm on the sides and rear, but the scoop remains zero.
And just to restate my stats.
Ive seen a picture of Flick. True, it is faster by 5mph, but Im more powerful and controllable. What I shall actually do is attack the front of Flick, as I mostly will get under, and try to bend one of the forks. If I get the side, crush with all my power until I break something inside Flick, before pitting it.
And Martijn says he will fli-p and pit me. I use a hydraulic ram that is actually quite fast, and I use it to self-right.
*tries to see self-righting arm on the stats of Crusher*
