hey guys im deciding to make a tag team tournie that will start during the finals of the main series
i need 4 people to enter 2 robots. As you will be partnerd with some one
the weight class will be heavy and super heavy due to the super heavies not getting attention
the setting will be 2 fights which will be a semi final, then the play offs, then the final of course
i will randomly chose 2 bots that you might be partnered with
behemoth and ziggy (super heavyweight)
:P
...I have to come in here and air my (and some other peoples') concerns about V'Ger I'm afraid...
Firstly, it worries me that you appear to be using other peoples' designs with the intention of trying to be successful with a set of your typical stats when it has a famous name and pedigree behind it. May I remind you that we do read the stats and although you may well win with a design based on a successful line and not created by yourself originally, you a) will find it a much better honour to have won with an entirely original design and b) you, as Kody would say, 'ain't gonna win with your carppy stats' - the statistics of the robot still need to be realistic and more importantly good if you are to find success today.
Secondly, I had to do a bit of research on your choice of battery packs because I do actually know about and have used LiPos (they have some drawbacks, exceeding the discharge rate of the pack will cause it to explode, burst into flame, or do any one of a number of other interesting things, and if you drain them too much they will die and be unusable) and I found http://www.robotmarketplace.com/product ... -10SX.html as an example of the packs you're using...I feel I must warn you that with the peak currents of your motors it would be *possible* for the current drawn by all your motors to exceed 500A at one moment, which is the limit of a pair of those packs in parallel, and therefore it would actually be plausible if it burst into flames randomly at some point.
For the third and fourth points I shall quote Dave Weston:
Quote:
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*10ah of batteries wouldn't supply 2 weapons and 2 Lem 130's for drive
...while I'm here I might as well enter Drive and Nidhogg (that is cubed) please :PQuote:
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*well those stats are just mad
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*it wouldn't supply the power, and the motor weights alone would likely be too much with everything else in there
Joey says:
*Would you be alright if I posted those and quoted you on that?
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*Ok
I modified the stats. Now the only motors in the robot are S28-400 Magmotors, and I've added a 3rd battery pack. I've also thinned the armour, so please PM me with any other problems you find in V'Ger's stats.
Also, the only reasons I entered V'Ger was:
1: It's old and successful.
2: It has no chance of winning.
3: I wanted to see how it does today.
And as I said earlier, I'd very much like it if you, and anyone else who finds problems with V'Ger's stats, would PM me the problems, so we don't muck up Lian's thread.
As a fifth point, V'Ger belongs to me, and you can verify this by asking the Nick on ARC who goes by the name of Spatula. :P
EDIT: Yes you did ask him for it, but from what I see on his ARC thread, he never responded saying you could take it. And he e-mailed me V'Ger files. :P If he e-mailed you saying 'yes', show me.
More precisely, you asked for V'Ger V6, not all of them. Therefore, I decided to get V'Ger V5.
EDIT: If you're going to reply, answer in a PM, as I said earlier, I don't want this kind of b*tching screwing up Lian's thread.
V'Ger v6? Uh, no. I took all versions. Check the first page if you don't believe me: http://z10.invisionfree.com/Drowning_Ci ... =1423&st=0
Obviously if a version isn't specified, then that means all are taken.Quote:
V'Ger - taken by Kodebreaker
And like I said to Lian himself, something like this is here for everyone to see, this situation especially because it's serious. So no PMs here.
You have no right to take my vapourbot. Switch it, now.
EDIT: See my post in the ARC thread before responding further.
Fine then, if you promise to stop our b*tching back and forth.
Replace V'Ger with Eurypterus Evolved. Stats are on my website.
Wouldnt point 2 make point 3 obsolete?Quote:

As for Eurypterus, I vaguely remember you getting Alex MW's bots but can you show me the thread it happened in?
I will enter Liar 2 as my HW and... something else as my SHW, if it takes to long to come up with something can I have Toro?
I sent a PM to Alex on ARC:
And his reply:Quote:
Alex, is it okay if I use your FRA-style robot stats found here for my FRA team: Team Corsair?
Quote:
Go for it. They have to get wins somehow. :P
Yep. Alex verified it.
Thank goodness I was able to work this out with Kody, preventing both of us from blowing up in a nasty flamewar.
And I'm planning to replace Tetris with Tank: Tiger Division. Stats when I make them. If I don't make them in time, then use Tetris.
I have been awakened from my long slumber to confirm that Kody has all of them. All of them. Well... the last 3 anyway. I suppose if you wanted V3 you could have it, but I don't think even I have it anymore, so yeah...
Sorry Mark. Clones and Yak are yours now though. I'll go change that post in that thread to reflect it. If you want the models, I'll email them.
Okay then. I'll have to delete V'Ger(I could always ask Kody if he'd be willing to let me use one of the 2 older versions but he hates me too much to do that) and use another Alex MW design...
EDIT: OMG! Did I literally just revive an approximately 4-year old member?
And no, I don't need the models. However, if you could send me some better pics of them, that would be much appreciated.
EDIT AGAIN: Tank: Tiger Division is up. Replace Tetris with it, please.
im ok with it now, just really mad yesterday due to issues in the familyQuote:

right ive chosen 2 tag teams randomly
liar 2/martijn and nidhogg cubed/joey
behemoth and tank: tiger division/mark
others on the way when some one takes the final spot :P
Tank: Tiger Division is a SuperHeavyweight. And you already have your spots filled.
So it would actually be the team of Eurypterus Evolved and Behemoth.
whoops need to sort out the teams again
liar 2/martijn and ziggy
n3/joey and tank: tiger division/mark
Eurypterus Evolved/mark and toro?
(the question mark is for martijn but i will give him time to get the stats of a vapour he might use)
behemoth and drive/joey
tactics predictions and that machine gun over there :P
So the teams consist of 1 heavyweight and 1 Superheavyweight?
Yes that was what i meant to say when starting it up but the edit thing dissapear after an hour :rofl:
the battle draws
Eurypterus Evolved/mark and toro? vs behemoth and drive/joey
liar 2/martijn and ziggy vs behemoth and drive/joey
I'm confused as to whether there's a spot left or not.
If there is I'll steal it with Frustum as my HW and Shovelhead as the SHW unless I can whip up something before it's needed
ok since jordan entering the realies are out
revised teams
liar 2/martijn and shovel head/jordan vs n3/joey and tank: tiger division/mark
Eurypterus Evolved/mark and toro?/martijn vs frustum/jordan and drive/joey
What are the stats of Shovel Head? Meh...
Liar 2/Shovel Head vs N3/Tank: Tiger Division: I'll go out first,shoving Martijn around, and trying to pit it. If Shovel Head gets in the way, team up on him with Joey. After both Shovel Head and Liar 2 are pitted/immobilized, pit N3, my partner.
Eurypterus Evolved/Toro? vs Frustum/Drive: Frustum's an annoying machine, which is why I'll use the hinged wedge and skirts this time around. Let Toro handle Drive, as even I don't have that good of pushing power. I'll go after Frustum, and use the hinged wedge to get under it, ram it into the pit release, and pit it. Above all: STAY AWAY FROM DRIVE!!!
yes thats what i was wondering
who in blue blazes is shovel head :rofl:
Tactics for the fight remain the same, However I'll be able to push away Shovel Head should he enter the fray. I'll pit him as quickly as possible.
