crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Um... I also have twin hardox scoops at the front and back, that give me 0 ground clearance at the front and back. Therefore, I should probably get under your sides...

If you have 0 ground clearance at the front and back, then you won't be able to move.

Weapon: 2 solid Hardox snowplow-like scoops that can move slightly vertically, like Behemoth's, so I get good pushing power, but 0mm ground clearance at the front and back.

*Cough*FAIL!!!*Cough*

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

...and what exactly are they powered by? :P If they are not powered by anything, they will most definitely be static and will most definitely have a permanent ground clearance of 0, and you will most definitely not be able to move. :P

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Far be it from me to defend Mark, but he is right on this rare occasion...it's perfectly feasible to just have the scoop supports moving freely on bearings, which would give you 0 ground clearance at front and back (although any major damage to the arena floor would jam the scoop against it and prevent movement in that direction, possibly restricting the robot somewhat)

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Well he still didn't put them in the stats. How are we supposed to know that? For all we know, he just may be throwing stats together like he usually does. :P

(this is why you are suppose to be clear in your stats, Mark)

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

I was thinking of that idea, but I really couldn't get it laid out enough to put it into the stats...

EDIT: The stats have been fixed to more precisely detail how the scoops do what they do.

ACTIVATE

here we go

minsweeper charges across the arena at anarchy and pushes anarchy from the side into the wall, now anarchy comes back for
an attack, but minesweeper rams them again against the wall and comes in again, ooh that was close anarchy scuttling away
just in time and minsweeper in now stuck on the arena wall and anarchy comes in with the axe again and again and again how
is minesweeper gonna get out of this, down comes the axe again, now in comes shunt and lifts then off the wall, but not
before shunt gives them an axe blow, now minesweeper is away and now pushes anarchy into the pit realease button and now
minesweeper pushes anarchy into the pit, but four of anarchys legs are touching the floor and scuttles out to carry on
minesweeper now pushing them into the wall again, anarchy gets away and hits the top of minesweeper, OUCH theres a
massive hole in the top of minesweeper but its unshaken from the blow and comes back again and anarchy puts another hole in minesweeper
but this time the axe is stuck in the body work of minesweeper now anarchy has got them where he wants them and nows pushes towards the
pit and is almost in but minesweeper burns rubber and pushes back and shoves anarchy into dead metal, oh dear here comes the saw BZZZZZZT! cutting into the side but anarchy turns round AND FLIPS DEAD METAL and escapes the cpz but minesweeper is waiting and charges
but anarchy flips them up and over now minesweeper lacks pushing power and is pushed into the cpz with shunt and down comes the axe again
now minesweeper is moving very slowly and so is anarchy but there saved
as CEASE is called

now we go to the judges now for the scores

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Well well well, because I was such a goddamned arse yesterday I didn't think I'd win. But I did anyway. Meh. Apologies to Joey and Mark and whoever I offended. I seriously had a bad day yesterday. Soz.

Apocalypse II vs. Anarchy

Well I'm boned now. :P Meh, flip it and axe it, all I can do. :P

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Aside from the fact that his axe ripped a hole clean through 7mm hardox, and Anarchy unlikely crawled out of the pit, it was a half-decent fight...

And I accept your apology, Kody.

Isn't that a little hypocritical of you, seeing as you run VRW? :P

*Joking*Says the man who won VRW4...*Joking*

And I've never typed out a robot escaping from the pit...

Let's take this to PM's...

Richard did it in VFT5 I think.

Re: crazy bots series 1 (the remake)

Well, I guess it can happen, however I believe the robots had special mechanisms to allow them to do that.

Also, remember Wild Thing. In S5 it got pushed into the pit, but got out. Even though it lost, it lost on a JD, not because of the pit.
