As quoted by Aaron, Runs 4 x D-Pack motors @ 24v, two for weapon, two for drive. Pretty crazy spinner.

What it can do to a robot with titanium armour - http://youtube.com/watch?v=cJnnCf00Cy8&feature=relatedhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=cJnnCf00Cy8&feature=related

Unfortunately, we dont know the EXACT details about Shrederator, but its one MEAN spinner. Paired up with another spinner, it should do some damage.

Can I please have some tactics please? AJ, Alex, Dave and Martijn - I NEED YOUR TACTICS! I dont want another hypothetical.

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Alexs tactics tend to be fairly obvious.

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Well, I do need SOME updates. I know Ive worked fine with or with tactics, but it helps if you have some tactics.

OK - The deal is that if I dont get all the tactics by midday today, then Ill do a hypothetical of the heats, just to get it nearly over with.

Thats a bit harsh - Id just do the battles anyway, assuming the tactics. If its really bad, just do a hypo of this one heat, not all of them.

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Maybe it is a bit harsh, but harsh sometimes gets results. Nothing against anyone, but Ive got a bit of a lack of patience, so Im annoyed that I havent got my tactics.

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

I know how you feel - Im not the most patient person in he world myself - its just that Im not sure if people who dont come on in the morning will even get the chance to see this before it goes to a hypo.

...besides, I kind of want to see Fire And Ice in its first fight

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Was Darke Destroyer reinstated or something?

Anyway, tictacs:

Wedginator 6.0 vs. FIRE AND ICE
Hmm, difficult. Well, flipping wont affect me since I can run inverted, and if I get around the rear or rear half of the sides it shouldnt be able to affect me that much, I should still be able to get traction with the ground. Basically ram all over the place, getting under the flipper if possible to slice things with the saws. Then, introduce my friend Wedginator to another friend, Mr Pit.

Good luck Kody :wink: and Paul, if youre having problems getting tournaments on this scale finished, go for something slightly smaller, like a 12 heat tournament with series 5/6 style losers melees in the semis. Just my advice *flies off to Egypt, so wont be around for a bit*

[tacoman]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Woo, Two Semi-Final entries in my first major.

Storm 2 V Cat With Wheels
Hmm.. Storm 2 is fast and agile, but all it takes is for me to get under a side once, and I can push to the walls and flip it out.

Ramthrax V Sithis

Ramthrax may be designed to stop spinners, but it has weak side armour. If I can get round to the sides, I can destroy it.

[alex_holt]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

SEMI-FINAL 1
Ramthrax 2 (6) vs. Sithis - Ram

SEMI-FINAL 2
Kali (1) vs. Back To Rock (27) - Ram and Flip
Tengu VII ( vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2 (30) - Spin

Keep the weapons to the opponent at all times.

Im afraid its these kind of tactics that make me forget to post them, I kind of design everything with particular tactics in mind, perhaps Ill include them in the stats.

awwwwwwwwwwww COME ON PAUL! NOT AGAIN!

you know the drill around here by now, people tend to dissapear for weeks without logging on to the FRA, theres often WEEKS between fights in majors, and other times fights are done before people have been given the time to get any tactics in.

Were talking 3 days here Paul, 3 days during which AJ, Alex, Dave and myself failed to post their tactics. No, its worse than that, neither of the 4 of us were AWARE that we HAVE to post tactics in this tournaments, from experience gathered in other tourneys, major writers are perfectly fine having to write battles without knowing all the tactics. Then, on Friday, March 21, 2008 - 5:06 am, you state that you NEED our tactics in order to avoid a hypothetical, on Friday, March 21, 2008 - 6:51 am, the hypothetical results are in, I was sleeping throughout this entire time, mind you. And to think that EOTR 1 and 2 were done lightning fast without anyone giving any tactics at all.

The silly thing is, this is EOTR 3 all over again. You were under to much pressure to finish EOTR 3 and did hypotheticals, only to open signups for EOTR 4 a day later as if nothing happened. People, me being no exception, thought this was very strange to say the least. You explained yourself, but I was still affraid it might happen again. I asked on several occassions wether or not you were up to it, and you evantually convinced me you were...

Bah, I told you before, smaller tournaments might be a wiser option for you. Majors and impatience dont mix well, they mix horribly in fact...

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Well...it wont happen again. (I hope)

[martyn]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Paul have you heard of sleeping?

Also, it seams to me you started to write the hypothetical when you threatend to do one if you didnt have tactics by 12 as you posted it about an hour later. It just seams to me that you wouldnt have been able to write it in much less than hour.

Yeah, thats what you said last time.

quote:

I see yesterday was rough on you, but throwing something out of the window every time youre in a brief moment of panic is a bad habbit no mather how you look at it, in your later life, but certainly also when writing a major tournament that can drag on for a looong time. Something this big can easilly take more than 6 months, and from my own experiences I can say having 6 months without any stress is very rare to say the least, so make sure you think this all through.

This is what I said back when you opened EOTR 4 right after cancelling EOTR 3, writing a Major will take a lot of patience throughout a long period, you convinced me you could handle it after the series 3 debacle...

Series 3 signups started on Saturday, January 05, 2008, hypotheticals were posted on Tuesday, February 05, 2008.

Series 4 signups started on Wednesday, February 06, 2008, hypotheticals (of the heats only, Ill give you that) were posted on Friday, March 21, 2008.

Tournaments of this size usually take several months to finish, for them to take well over a year is common business.

On 2 ocassions now, you resorted to hypotheticals within the first 2 months. Why dont you just open up a smaller tournament mate? 8 people, 4 robots per person, 32 robots in total? How does that sound? You could (and would, I trust you on that, youre not a bad writer at all by now, and a fine addition to the community :wink finish a tourney like that withing one or two months, make everybody happy, and perhaps move on to another minor tournament straight after. Wouldnt that be a lot wiser?
