The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Paul, Roaming Robots and the FRA are not the same organisation. Under FRA rules:

8.1 Pnumatic systems must use Carbon Dioxide (Co2) or air.

If Frank wants to disregard his weapons hes free to do so, but hes going to be in for a shock when it smashes his armor in. Those brutal hits will still be brutal and do a lot of damage regardless of the end hits.

As for lowness of the scoop, Im curious to see who will get under whom but Id rather go for a side on hit as opposed to a frotn on front. I am faster, so I may be able to leverage that into getting around him, smashing him and then pitting him.

[pcbore]

Because a hammer, even a nitrogen powered one, is going to smash hardox in. Right.

If he gets around to the side, Ill just put the relevent skirt down and wait for him to ride up me Ill have plenty of time to see which side hes going for, so by the time hes at the side, turned around, Ill ahve the skirt down.

Where did you see the rules on the Roaming Robots website Paul?

[andrewj]

Interesting, a change in the rules. Well being as most people here basically disregard the official rules now I guess it wont have much of an effect, but its still something to take note of. And whats all the fuss about Nitrogen powering down? So does CO2 and I dont recall it being made such a deal of.

[pcbore]

Because I believe nitrogen has a faster power-down time than Co2. Basically its for short endings rather than drawn out fights.

[kane]

Because CO2 is stored in liquid form you can (a) store more and (b) it maintains a higher pressure.

[siphai]

Figure of speech Frank. Obviously its not going to smash it in but its going to come down with a lot of force.

And whether I ride up your wedge would be a matter of momentum. Its not like my front scoop/wedges ground clearence is higher than 0mm. My plow, anyway, can ride on the ground and it would be a matter of momentum anyway. If you just let me run at your side skirt, Ill get under because of the applied force on my plow.

[leorcc]

Nitrogen is powering down faster dan CO2, however its starts off more powerfull than CO2. The initial pressure is higher. But you carry a lot less nitrogen in a robot than you could with CO2.

The same is true for air.

[pcbore]

Momentums only half the story. By pushing down the skirt as far as itll go, itll literally be digging into the arena (sorry Kody), and nothings getting under it.
