The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

[kodster]

Yes. It's here. The one you all wanted. And since spots have been filled up via MSN, nobody else can enter.

8 people
2 vapourbots

Pretty much it.

The reserved spots/vapourbots that have been entered so far are here...

Seung Mina VI (Kody Kunz)
Jinx (Kody Kunz)
[reserved] (Andrew Jackson)
[reserved] (Andrew Jackson)
[reserved] (Martijn Benschop)
[reserved] (Martijn Benschop)
[reserved] (Joey McConnell)
[reserved] (Joey McConnell)
E Clawdius Unum (Steven McGregor)
Mornington Crescent (Steven McGregor)
Black Panther (Alex Holt)
Darkestar (Alex Holt)
[reserved] (Anthony Politzi)
[reserved] (Anthony Politzi)
[reserved] (Daniel Stickler)
[reserved] (Daniel Stickler)

So we need bots from AJ, Marti, Joey, Tony, and Dan.

Tournament structure is basic. We just simply go with 1 x 1 fights until we have a winner.

RW house bots will be used here, and arena details will be made clearer near to line-up date. So whoever has reserved spots only, get your bots in!

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Sneaky buggers. How am I to enter if you do the signups off-site?

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

It's rigged :wink:

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

I agree. And what's the point of pretty much posting sign-ups here when all the spots are taken?

At least add 4 more spots so Leo, Aaron, Me, and Timothy James Sillery can enter.

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Actually, we all decided to do this over MSN so that a specific someone would NOT enter (you know who you are). Plus, with 8 people the tournament will go quicker because there's less to do. And besides, I'm quite sure you guys (Leo and Aaron) aren't interested in writing fights anyway. :P

If you insist on continuing to fight us about this, contact us all on MSN.

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Uh... I don't know how to use MSN...

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Uh... I don't know how to use MSN...

Seriously?

It's so easy. But since this is the FVAL2 thread, I'll PM you about it.

oh.....arse

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

I'll enter if there's any places left. I'll modify my two robots, The Kill Point and Skullcrusher. I'll need some advise, since I'm rubbish at this

The Kill Point II

Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: L30xW30xH6
Speed: 20 mph
Armour: 2mm Hardox
Shape: Box wedge, like Storm II or Tornado with its wedge
Motivation: Six wheels, like Storm II's
Power: 4x24v Bosch motors (If they exist). A fifth 24v Bosch motor powers the arm
Weapon: I've gotten rid of the drill, since that was a last minuet idea for Joey's Chevron Championship tournament. The weapon is now an arm that lifts up, but doesn't lift down, so once its flipped over, its useless. At the end of the arm is a steel spike. The idea is to ram a robot, then lift it up into the air. Think Nite Rider's spike, and Ming Dynasty's arm in Storm II's body
Srimech: Invertible. The arm can self-right the robot
Strengths: With six wheels, should have more pushing power.
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels, weapon could be inneffective. I would have made the spike a drill again, but with the weight limit, I didn't risk it

Skullcrusher EVO

Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 35 (Diameter) X H9
Shape: Invertible disc, like Delldog, with a spinning disc in the middle
Armour: 2mm Hardox. The disc is made from 2mm titanium
Power: 4x24v Bosch motors (Two on each side)
Speed: 12mph
Motivation: 8 Big Nipper type wheels (4 on top, 4 on bottom) setup
Weapon: A 259 spinning disc, placed horizontally between the robot. It has Mauler type padlocks for blades, as rather to bash the robot than rip it apart
Srimech: Invertible
Strengths: Powerful weapon, invertible
Weaknesses: Weapon probably isn't too damaging, as it hits instead of rips

Please forgive me if it isn't right Kody. It's my estimates of weight and speed above, so it isn't perfect. Point out any mistakes and I will fix them to the best of my ability. Thank you for understanding

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

I can't get it to work because I'm under 16, and apparently my dad needs an account to give me permission.

[eene]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

I've looked at the signups, and since they are all taken, I am withdrawing from this

[corsair_lightning]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Elliot, you might want to keep those entrants there, since any one of the horribly large amount of reserved spots might be opened after a long period of time.

[kodster]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Yeah a little late, Elliot, we apologize.

And sorry, then we can't help you further Mark.

Leo, Aaron, get on MSN, we'll explain further. Well, me and Joey anyway as we're online at the moment.

EDIT: Mark, no.

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

Kody, if you're not willing to allow entrance to people who do not have MSN, then why the h*ll have you posted this tourney here? Wouldn't it have just made since to allow the other people and ban me? And yet you have to go behind my and everyone else who doesn't have MSN's back just to prevent me from entering?

If that's the case, then just open up 4 more d*mn spots and ban me from this tourney, if you're gonna be like that.

[joey_picus]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2!

You'd have had much the same reaction if the thread had been opened and it had said you were banned, be honest :P

It is probably unfair to disallow others, I agree, and...uh...to be completely honest I wasn't involved much in the tournament structure arrangements. That would be Kody among others's department.
