WOOT! The Box did good, the Box did good Well done to Alex and Paul for being worthy opponents, and to Liam for some great fights.

I shall go on the evasive. Avoid weapons and other nasty devices, and get around the unprotected areas of anyone I can and try and push them into Sithis or ANATB, which should cause damage for everyone concerned. Try and get people down the pit as well; Im not choosy :P

Good luck, my friends /genewilder

EDIT: I was thinking about horizontal v. vertical, and I thought that since horizontal discs inherently will strike the lower part of the vertical disc, it could result in the vertical disc being thrown sideways, which because vert disc robots tend to be tall, will usually result in a flipping. Or something.

Example: IIRC, Son of Whyachi hit Nightmare on its tire, causing it to go out of control because its balance had been completely removed. Now, if the weapons hit head on, mind you, then Nightmare would have been smashed across the arena, maybe immobile due to SoWs weaponry, but definitely not knocked over onto its back. Tira IVs disc is heavier than Nightmares, and ANATBs weapon definitely isnt as heavy as SoWs. If Tira IV and ANATB hit head on, probably the disc or bar would be mangled, and yes Tira IV would definitely be knocked for a loop, but right over onto its back? Not possible.

I would appreciate a rewrite.

I dont know. Gyro forces have long been a black art to me :P

[kodster]

Gyroscopes usually happen with horizontal spinners, but due to the way Another Night at the Bar is shaped, it wouldnt happen to him.

Vertical spinners like Nightmare only go unstable if part of their balance is removed, like if the disc warps, or loses a tooth, or a wheel.

Appreciated.

Also, when SoW hit Nightmares wheel, it caused Nightmares fully-spun-up disc to hit the floor, which helped in flipping it over.

Mind you, if that be the case, where did Fluffy and 259 strike each other?

[kodster]

I havent seen that one. What happened?
