My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

[kodster]

Im...sorry, but I didnt like the way that fight was written.

I can tell Ill be yelled at, so Ill just shut up and keep the reasons to myself. :P

I think personally that Samuel in this is biased towards the spinners. Look at the semi-final line-up so far:

Leprosy Infection (A drum spinner)
Aftershock (A drum spinner)
Archangel Of The Abyss (A full-body spinner)
Pure Evil: ROTD (A full body spinner)
Tira III (A vertical disc)
Whirligig 4.0 (A full-body spinner)
Dennis The Menace (A drum spinner)

And I think that you believe that 52kj is enough to damage anything at all (You stated it in one of your designs) its not true - thats possibly why Nitro-Gene with a 5mm Hardox shell was ripped to micro pieces by Whirligig.

Im not going to post effective tactics for once - my plans just to rip the lifter off and shock-kill Exertion, as its probable that I WONT get through the armour.

Not to destroy my own victory, I think that last fight was biased to go AGAINST Manic Monsoon, and even though MeCannibal is lethal, it wouldnt tear 5mm Hardox that quickly - the skirts maybe. But for the while, Im not going to say much except look further than spinner effectiveness. Go on things like armour strengths, weapon designs, traction, power, shapes and other things.

If this sounds like a vicous attack, Im sorry - Im just trying to give advice.

[kodster]

lol, if hes biased towards spinners, then next series, Ill put in Tira IV, Aftershock, Kracko, The Curse for vapours, and Shrederator, Megabyte, Surgeon General, and Tornado Mer for realies.

[paulc]

If hes biased towards spinners, Im screwed! Only 4 of my 14 robots have rotary weapons on them.

[joey_picus]

Paul...attach small hole saws to the side of your wheels. Hole saws are rotary weapons...

«MeCannibal vs. Exertion»

Perfect! Its the classic ring-spinner meets spinner-killer here. Simple tactics are to be relentless - keep driving in and ramming MeCannibal over and over again. If I can pin it against the wall, my job will be made even easier. The more I ram, the less it can spin up and attack me and score any points. Shove it around into the hazards and preferably the pit. If MeCannibal does get up to full speed, I am willing to sacrifice my scoop. After a couple of hits, MeCannibal will suffer from the effects of its own overkill energy output.

About the previous battle, I wrote it at 3:30 AM.

What an excuse. :P

[samuel3764]

Well, maybe I shouldve said earlier, Tactics, comments, predictions and a reminder to NEVER WRITE A BATTLE LIKE THIS AT 3:30AM PLEASE.

[samuel3764]

Right, I apologize for the last battle. I wrote it at 3:30 AM, and my mind was just full of crap.

Anyway, lets get on with the remaining battles.

Gabriel VS Panic Attack

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Gabriel
Booth 2: Panic Attack

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Gabriel is spinning away to its top speed. Danny drives Panic Attack€™s forks straight into the spinning Gabriel!
WHACK!
OH!! Nice hit there by Gabriel there. It sent Panic Attack flying! Now, Gabriel tries getting under the ex-champions of Robot Wars, and flips it! Panic Attack self-rights, lifts Gabriel up, and SLAMS it towards the wall!
WHAM!
OH! Nice hit there by Panic Attack! Now, Gabriel gets under Panic Attack and flips it! Panic Attack immediately rights itself, and attacks Gabriel! Gabriel gets lifted from the side and€¦
WHAM!!!
OH! Right into the wall it goes! Joey can€™t take it anymore, so he drives Gabriel€™s flipper straight into Panic Attack, and pushes it towards the wall! Now, it€™s time to say good-bye, Danny!
FA-LIP!
OH! Panic Attack gets out of the arena and onto the camera tracks in less than 50 seconds!

CEASE!

Panic Attack should really see a psychologist.
Gabriel goes through to the Heat H Final!
