  • Bite Sized Tournament

    Alright, Im back. Sorry I let the last one die. Ill try to prevent that this time by doing a demo tournament first, and doing a larger one if that works for me.

    Heres the plan: four weight categories. Single elimination. Simple arena with nothing in it, no moat, no hazards, no house bots, just a wall.

    Lightweights: 25 kg
    Middleweights: 50 kg
    Heavyweights: 100 kg
    Superheavyweights: 150 kg


    Enter one robot in each category, no more, no less. Heres what the stats should look like:
    -Picture, preferably CAD, preferably good.
    -Short description of the design, please nothing long.
    -robots specialty, armor wheels or weapon. If its a jack of all trades, say that.

    Im just going to have 4 people enter for starters, and if it works Ill do a big version of the same thing.



    Heres the catch: I wont write the fights. Ill just say who wins, and give a percentage based on how many times out of 100 that robot would win, of the two. Ill also give a brief reason for it.

    No strategies.

    Do not submit strategies. I wont listen to you!

    No modular designs either, a robot will look the same no matter what opponent it has. The percentage system should make up for this, somewhat.

    Yeah, its different. Yeah, it might not work. Thats why this is just a DEMO tournament. Lets see how it goes.

    Submissions start now! First 4 are in!

    Im afraid I have very little idea of how to attach pictures. Are they absolutly neccessary? If they are, I may have to pass.

      I think links are the only way to do it on this forum.

          Awesome, this gives me a chance to try out some of my new ARC designs.

          Its basically a huggy-bear type robot (in the H-shape), which is extremely low to the ground. It uses its scoop/pan to get you caught and high centered while it beats you with the drum. Can self-right with the thingy in the middle. Hinged wedges on all sides.

          Its speciality is how low it is.

          Pretty much a bar spinner with wedges on the back and sides.

          It has somewhat good speed, but its main speciality is its spinning bar.

          Its pretty much a low flipping pushing robot. Invertible.

          Its speciality is its pushing, pretty much. Though it is good at flipping too.

          A low low pushing wedge with hinged wedges on all sides.

          Its speciality is its pushing power and speed.

            Ad Infinitums links dont seem to be working for me. The rest of the stuff looks good.

              Pic (http://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/Anti-Virus.bmphttp://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/Anti-Virus.bmp)

              Hes basically a really fast rammer with a skirt in front to get under robots. Hes really fast, really pushy, and really ANTI. Hes invertible also. :P

              Specialty = Pushability, and low-to-the-groundness.

              http://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/Solstice.bmphttp://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/Solstice.bmp

              An invertible FBS with an outstretched middle and several hardox-tipped spikes.

              Specialty = Destruction of its opponent.

              Wedginator Reborn (HW)
              Check my profile for the pic.

              Pic should give the description, but its basically a wedge, with sloped sides and rear, and a somewhat powerful flipper. Its invertible too.

              Specialty = Jack-of-all-trades. :P

              Red Flag (SHW)
              http://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/RedFlag.bmphttp://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/RedFlag.bmp

              Er...its a box with a front wedge thats been cut-off towards the middle to make room for the vicious vertical disc, but mainly to catch opponents who try to race by. Its also got weak lifting skirts to further prevent the opponent from getting under and even.

              Specialty = Its weapon. :P

              That should be OK. Tell me if its not.

                            OK: I may as well do this now and beat Aaron to it:

                            Just a Little Baldur
                            A little invertible box with a scoop at the front designed to survive everything. The scoop works both ways up. The weapon pivots on the side also prevent it gettign stuck on its side
                            Speciality: Armour

                            Sith
                            A basic wedge flipper, the flipper self rights itself and is high pressure pnuematic. The bits at the front are retractable and are pushed out with actuators to get under other robots more effectivly.
                            Speciality: Jack of all trades.

                            Black Panther Queen
                            A pyramid with the tip cut off low down, skirts, and a double headed pnuematic axe and flipper. The flipper is in two halves but attached at the back, so that it doesnt interfere with the axe.
                            Speciality: Weapons

                            Red Knight
                            OK - the complex one. The main body is quite titchy, its all about the weapon. The weapon pivots off the centre, and follows an opponents direction using motion sensors - and is essentially a huge hardox plate on castors with a 10kg flywheel set into it for damage. Anyway, it basically means that whenever someoen attacks unless they are very fast theyll hit the plate, and the disc.
                            Speciality: Jack of all trades.

                              wait, we dont have to give all kinda fancy stats and details?

                              Guess Im in, wont be that hard to think of something, it might be hard to get some good pictures though, since I currently dont have any CAD program, lets see what Paint can do

                              EDIT: lol, misread the first post... are there any places left
