Mini-Tournament!

Trust me to screw up royally. Sorry about hijacking your thread, Liam. :sad:

Paul, somehow, the 3D drawing program (Rhino3D) isnt working. (I get an error every time I try to open it, and it closes immediately after) This has happened very suddenly, and Im trying to find a solution to get it working again. I have quite a bit of Nitro-Gene 4.0 CADed, all thats left is the flipper, the colouring, and a texture of the robots name to put on the flipper. This is just to keep you up-to-date on progress.

Hopefully I will get this problem sorted out over the next few days.

Posting too much in it.

He does tend to strike a bad nerve with most of the people here, indeed...

But anyway...

WOOT! Another final, and another chance to win an award :-)

Play-off:
Namie€™s Style v The Alexandra Sisters: I might have to go with Kodys tactical expertice, but that weight disadvantage might mean Namies Style can give Chezza 3rd place.

Final:
Dr. Acula v Nitro-Gene 4.0: I under-rated Dr. Acula - I thought that it wouldnt survive the first round or second, but its proved me and everyone wrong, but Nitro-Genes been after a 1st place trophy for MONTHS! Thus, I am NOT going easy on Dr. Acula. Looking at it, I notice 2 major advantages that seem to be in my favour - the motors - 2 x 400w at a 10:1 reduction will give massive torque, but not much power with it. Nitro-Gene has ENORMOUS power, and is also geared by traction, speed AND torque, and thus I outpush him greatly. The other thing is that he states that once flipped, he stands NO chance of gripping anything.

My plan is to simply flip him over, and NOT TO FLIP AGAIN! I will just shunt and ram him at will - if hes close enough to the wall, activate the flipper and toss him over the wall.

Good luck Jamie :wink: and may the best finalist win

PREDICTIONS:

3rd place: Namies Style to be overpowered and OOTAed by one or both clusterbots.

FINAL: Ill have to go for Nitro-Gene here - Dr. Aculas weaponry wont have much effect against it, and a swift OOTA may be in the pipeline.

Good luck people, and good fights Liam

Bah...

Namies Style vs. The Alexandra Sisters

I helped make that bot...and I sure as hell can defeat it. Wont be that easy, though, unless lack of experience is important here...

Right. Have both clusters attack each side to get under the skirts, and then throw Namie on its back. It may have a hard time self-righting from its back, so once its inverted, try to stop it escaping and shove it down the pit.

Good luck Chezza.

Dr. Acula v Nitro-Gene 4.0

Actually, I REALLY want Dr. Acula to win, just so that Paul wont be as overconfident about Nitro-Gene as he is now (dont deny it, Mr. Cuomo ), but...I dont think thats gonna happen, and Paul will pick up his tournament victory.
