Re: crazy bots tag team

Here are my entrants. I thought I'd try something new:

Heavyweight: V'Ger
Superheavyweight: Tetris

Re: crazy bots tag team

...I have to come in here and air my (and some other peoples') concerns about V'Ger I'm afraid...

Firstly, it worries me that you appear to be using other peoples' designs with the intention of trying to be successful with a set of your typical stats when it has a famous name and pedigree behind it. May I remind you that we do read the stats and although you may well win with a design based on a successful line and not created by yourself originally, you a) will find it a much better honour to have won with an entirely original design and b) you, as Kody would say, 'ain't gonna win with your carppy stats' - the statistics of the robot still need to be realistic and more importantly good if you are to find success today.

Secondly, I had to do a bit of research on your choice of battery packs because I do actually know about and have used LiPos (they have some drawbacks, exceeding the discharge rate of the pack will cause it to explode, burst into flame, or do any one of a number of other interesting things, and if you drain them too much they will die and be unusable) and I found http://www.robotmarketplace.com/product ... -10SX.html as an example of the packs you're using...I feel I must warn you that with the peak currents of your motors it would be *possible* for the current drawn by all your motors to exceed 500A at one moment, which is the limit of a pair of those packs in parallel, and therefore it would actually be plausible if it burst into flames randomly at some point.

For the third and fourth points I shall quote Dave Weston:

When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*10ah of batteries wouldn't supply 2 weapons and 2 Lem 130's for drive

When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*well those stats are just mad
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*it wouldn't supply the power, and the motor weights alone would likely be too much with everything else in there
Joey says:
*Would you be alright if I posted those and quoted you on that?
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*Ok

...while I'm here I might as well enter Drive and Nidhogg (that is cubed) please :P

Re: crazy bots tag team

I modified the stats. Now the only motors in the robot are S28-400 Magmotors, and I've added a 3rd battery pack. I've also thinned the armour, so please PM me with any other problems you find in V'Ger's stats.

Also, the only reasons I entered V'Ger was:

1: It's old and successful.
2: It has no chance of winning.
3: I wanted to see how it does today.

And as I said earlier, I'd very much like it if you, and anyone else who finds problems with V'Ger's stats, would PM me the problems, so we don't muck up Lian's thread.

Re: crazy bots tag team

As a fifth point, V'Ger belongs to me, and you can verify this by asking the Nick on ARC who goes by the name of Spatula. :P

EDIT: Yes you did ask him for it, but from what I see on his ARC thread, he never responded saying you could take it. And he e-mailed me V'Ger files. :P If he e-mailed you saying 'yes', show me.

**corsair_lightning** · 6 January 2010, 22:46

Re: crazy bots tag team

More precisely, you asked for V'Ger V6, not all of them. Therefore, I decided to get V'Ger V5.

EDIT: If you're going to reply, answer in a PM, as I said earlier, I don't want this kind of b*tching screwing up Lian's thread.

**kodster** · 6 January 2010, 22:54

Re: crazy bots tag team

V'Ger v6? Uh, no. I took all versions. Check the first page if you don't believe me: http://z10.invisionfree.com/Drowning_Ci ... =1423&st=0

V'Ger - taken by Kodebreaker

Obviously if a version isn't specified, then that means all are taken.

And like I said to Lian himself, something like this is here for everyone to see, this situation especially because it's serious. So no PMs here.

You have no right to take my vapourbot. Switch it, now.

EDIT: See my post in the ARC thread before responding further.

**corsair_lightning** · 6 January 2010, 22:59

Re: crazy bots tag team

Fine then, if you promise to stop our b*tching back and forth.

Replace V'Ger with Eurypterus Evolved. Stats are on my website.

Wouldnt point 2 make point 3 obsolete?

For the sake of this arguement, Im glad youve withdrawn V'Ger, post 1 of Nick's thread at ARC makes me believe Nick gave the V'Ger line to Kody, but Kody and especially Nick would be the only ones to know this.
As for Eurypterus, I vaguely remember you getting Alex MW's bots but can you show me the thread it happened in?

I will enter Liar 2 as my HW and... something else as my SHW, if it takes to long to come up with something can I have Toro?

**corsair_lightning** · 6 January 2010, 23:20

Re: crazy bots tag team

I sent a PM to Alex on ARC:

Alex, is it okay if I use your FRA-style robot stats found here for my FRA team: Team Corsair?

And his reply:

Go for it. They have to get wins somehow. :P

**kodster** · 6 January 2010, 23:32

Re: crazy bots tag team

Yep. Alex verified it.

**corsair_lightning** · 7 January 2010, 00:01

Re: crazy bots tag team

Thank goodness I was able to work this out with Kody, preventing both of us from blowing up in a nasty flamewar.

And I'm planning to replace Tetris with Tank: Tiger Division. Stats when I make them. If I don't make them in time, then use Tetris.

**parassyte** · 7 January 2010, 00:15

Re: crazy bots tag team

I have been awakened from my long slumber to confirm that Kody has all of them. All of them. Well... the last 3 anyway. I suppose if you wanted V3 you could have it, but I don't think even I have it anymore, so yeah...

Sorry Mark. Clones and Yak are yours now though. I'll go change that post in that thread to reflect it. If you want the models, I'll email them.

**corsair_lightning** · 7 January 2010, 15:33

Re: crazy bots tag team

Okay then. I'll have to delete V'Ger(I could always ask Kody if he'd be willing to let me use one of the 2 older versions but he hates me too much to do that) and use another Alex MW design...

EDIT: OMG! Did I literally just revive an approximately 4-year old member?

And no, I don't need the models. However, if you could send me some better pics of them, that would be much appreciated.

EDIT AGAIN: Tank: Tiger Division is up. Replace Tetris with it, please.
