crazy bots 2.0.

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Ok

Heat L

and Heat B

Ok final tactics and predictions as the tournie kick-starts Saturday/Sunday

[kodster]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

All right, here come the rest of my predictions and tactics:

Heat I

Sideswipe vs Killertron vs Liar 2

...bye Killertron.

All Bar One vs frenZy vs Axeon 4.0

frenZy is much too outclassed here.

Heat winner: As good as All Bar One is, I think Liar 2 or Axeon 4.0 can put up with it.

Heat J

7roubloon vs No Consequences vs Skull

I question the realism of Skull here; with those compact dimensions there's no way you're going to get all those MagMotors in there. It probably is in weight but the dimensions need to be bigger. Anyway I'll start off by avoiding NC and attacking the sides of Skull. 3.2mm Hardox is decent armour but it shouldn't last too long against my discs.

Splinter vs Pussycat vs S3

...lol. Pussycat's beaten Splinter, but S3 seems to be asking for a grapple'n'pit by Splinter, and S3 could damage Pussycat's tires. I have absolutely no idea who's going to lose here.

Heat winner: No Consequences?

Heat K

Wheely Big Cheese vs Obsidian vs Exertion II

One of the realies to chuck it.

Apples & Pears vs Darkwing 3 vs Iron Awe 5

Uhm...Darkwing 3 to go?

Heat winner: Iron Awe 5, probably.

Heat L

Behemoth Evo IV vs Magnitude vs Symmetry

Symmetry to be pitted by Behemoth.

Chompalot vs The Subjugator vs Firestorm V

The Subjugator or Chompalot to go. Most likely Chompalot. :P

Heat winner: Firestorm V

Heat M

GoldDigger vs Murder Train vs The Alexandra Sisters: Retribution

Well now that we have Murdertrain's stats, I think I'll go after it. It'll get flipped over soon and then it's not much use. GoldDigger has to be spinning to attack so if I don't get near it I should be fine. Get Murdertrain down the pit if possible.

Annihilation vs Tough As Nails vs M.O.E

Annihilation to self-destruct ala Son of Whyachi. :P

Heat winner: I can't decide between TAN and M.O.E...

Heat N

The Matador vs GBOD vs Under Pressure

The Matador couldn't have asked for two better vapours to fight, IMO. GBOD's srimech looks iffy and Under Pressure isn't as effective inverted. Plus he's more powerful than either of them. I'll say GBOD to go out...I think.

Spawn Again vs Super Gore Septua vs Thiwon

Go after Spawn Again. I don't want to face them later on so I'll get rid of them now. Clamp hold of it, and pit it. Hopefully Mr. Thiwon will assist me in being a nuisance to the Spawn Again machine.

Heat winner: The Matador

Heat O

Ge5orce vs Equinox vs Surgeon General

Poo. Well I've defeated Ge5orce before with SG, but now there's Equinox to worry about...hmm. If there's a team-up on me :P, just stay away from any hazards and hit them. Otherwise, go to town on whoever's nearest.

Still Hurting vs System Shock 5.1 vs Diotoir

Diotoir to win...a one-way trip to the flame pit. Again, though, I raised a question about SS5.1 as it's overweight and too compact to fit all that stuff in. Who agrees? :P

Heat winner: Ge5orce.

Heat P

Back to Rock III vs PsycloniZer vs Voltronic

I sense a Marti/Andy team-up here, but I think Voltronic can take them both on tbh.

Nightmare vs Storm 2 vs Nemesis

...lmfao. Nemesis out.

----

And having just checked the first page, there's no pit. In that case, the ones whom I said would be pitted will be destroyed by hazards or OOTA'd if there's a flipper in there. :P With SGS, drag Spawn Again to hazards and hopefully have it killed. :P With the Alexandra Sisters, try and flip it into GoldDigger while the Battlebot's spinning, or push it to hazards. :P

----

Otherweights

Heat A

Stiff Breeze vs Redemption vs Small System Shock

Not sure if two go through, or one. Redemption looks the strongest though.

Anti-Virus 3.0 vs Hit 'em Hard vs Sergeant Slaughter

Urgh. Ram them everywhere, I guess. :P

Hazard vs T-Minus vs Maxus

T-Minus I guess, with Hazard as a close 2nd.

Puzzel vs Shovelhead vs UberForce 2.0

Puzzel, UberForce close behind.

Heat B

Starfighter(1#) vs Skink vs Micro Gore Evo

With no pit, what can I do here? Urgh. Drag them to hazards and hope they die.

No Redemption vs Lightning LW vs Minilith

Overweight bot alert! In the form of Lightning LW! :P It's going down. Minilith looks to be strongest.

259 vs Terminus vs Sub-Zero

I'm not sure what Sub-Zero is...but I will try to grapple it and feed it to 259, hopefully killing the pair of them.

Diesector vs Inflammatory Slammer 2 vs Tax Cutter's Return

Not IS2 again! I only beat it last time by a hair...however I'll try to beat it here by more than a hair and rip it up quite a bit. Hopefully I'll tear the lifter off. Diesector's another worry, he's pretty fast...but if I can get those tires, I'll be okay.

Heat C

Flow vs Storm Vortex vs Scoopy Doo

No idea.

Fang vs Fuzzel vs Wedgehog

Fuzzel I guess.

The Unnamed Feeling vs Gamma-Rex vs Striker

THE UNNAMED FEELING, WARGH

Tetris vs Drive vs Omega-Rex

Tetris is a SHW? I thought it was a MW. Oh well, Drive to pwn everybody I guess.

Heat D

Redemption vs NCC 1701 vs OverDrive

...WHY is Redemption in here twice? :P

Fuzzel vs Typhoon Thunder vs Gamma Raptor

Same with Fuzzel. :P

Nuzzel vs Heroin vs Hyper-Ventilate

Heroin ftw!

Vladiator vs Demon Duck vs Ziggy

Ziggy! Ziggy pwned Vladiator last time and Demon Duck sure as hell isn't a threat. :P

----

Yeah, Lian, you'd better fix the extra Redemption and Fuzzel spots... :|

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Ok

2nd Fuzzel replaced by Explosion
2nd Redemption replaced by Pug

2 bots go through each round

I might have a pit. But it'll be unique :wink:

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Remember we have a new arena. It's the Battlebots arena with and OOTA area which is guarded by house robots.
In the middle we have 2 back to back flipper's. Powered by 3 co2 canisters each. There is a pit in the bottom right hand corner and every 30 seconds
the pit will go up and a random pit anywhere in the arena will descend.

[andrewj]

[daliad100]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

I forsee a lot of losses for me but here are my tactics anyway

Scoopy Doo vs Storm Vortex vs Flow
Saw away at people until I'm inevitably destroyed

Bonesaw
I don't see it in the line up but I'll post tactics for it, Spin up and attack the nearest person

@ Kody - SubZero is a middle weight flipper http://www.robogladiators.com/szmw.htm
Sub Zero vs Terminus vs 259
Use the rear wedge to slow down 259's disc if needed and flip if over then aim to flip terminus OOTA or feed it to the house robots to the house robots

All Bar One vs Frenzy vs Axeon 4.0
Frenzy isn't too much of a problem so spin up and take it out quickly go for Axeon and hopefully hit it before it hits me.

Frustum vs Axe to Fall vs Compression
I'll have a go at rolling axe to fall over until it runs out of gas and genrally avoiding compression unless I have a good shot at it's back or sides

Walkies vs LockJaw v3 vs Absolution
Hooray, walker fight, Smack things with the axe. Could try getting under absolution by lowering my robot and raising it and very slowly walk it somewhere whilst delivering axe hits

Murder Train vs Golddigger vs The Alexandra Sisters: Retribution
Pit Golddigger ASAP whilst avoiding those pesky Sisters

Crushtacean vs Flick of the Wrist vs Comengetorix
My best bet is to go for Comengetorix so repeatedly clamp it from the sides and hope that it scores enough points to go through

Nemesis vs Storm 2 vs Nightmare
Charge straight at Nightmare's disc for maximum comedy, if I'm not dead, keep trying

TAN vs Annihalation vs M.O.E
See if I can feed M.O.E to Annihalation and take them both out.

S3 vs Splinter vs Pussycat
Go for the back and sides of Splinter and the wheels of Pussycat, whichever's nearest.

Shovelhead vs Puzzel vs UberForce 2.0
Aim to pit Puzzel by lifting it and pushing

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

AARRRGH!!!

The page expands everytime i go to post and its driving me mad

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

BLEH!!!!

Lian Walsh: Welcome back to Crazy Bots. Veterans return. Newcomers arrive. But it's the same old thing. BEAT THE SNOT OUTTA EVERYONE
But enough from me. Lets see who we got.

From Holland. Eternia

A fantastic flipper bot capable of OOTA'ing everybody. Will it?

From Toronto Canada and the number 14 seed. Jinx 1.2

A great axe bot thats come to take the crown. Will it?

From Wales and seeded no.1 Apocolypse 2

The runner up has come to get the job done. Can it back it up?

Our house robots near the OOTA zone are Shunt and Cassius Chrome

3...2...1..Activate

Jinx starts off by charging Apocolypse 2 and hammering the the top as Eternia just drives around waiting for a chance to
get that flipper into play. Apocolypse 2 flips Eternia half way across the arena. And it looks like a huge amount of c02 has
just come out of Apocolypse 2. Lets look at the replay. Jinx hit the co2 supply when the flipper fired. Which means that
Apocolypse 2 is in real trouble as Jinx gets even more hits in. Apocolypse now gets away and rams Eternia towards the
house robots as Shunt brings it's axe down on Eternia. But no damage caused as Eternia gets away and flips Jinx up and
over. But Jinx self rights as Apocolypse tries to ram jinx. But Jinx slams it's axe down and pins it there. Now Jinx has got
Apocolypse where she wants him. Now Jinx slams Apocolypse into the arena wall. Eternia now crashes the party and flips
the both of them over. Jinx manages to claw it's way out of being stuck on Apocolypse. But is still on it's back. Now Jinx
finally self rights as the RefBot checks out Apocolypse 2 and begins counting it out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 What a shock.
The no.1 seeds are out!!!. Now shunt closes in on Apocolypse and pounds the bottom till theres about 40 odd holes in the
bottom. Jinx tries to pit Eternia but Eternia gets underneath Jinx and flips it OOTA. But Jinx's through anyways. CEASE

No.1 seeds are out. The 13 seeds and the newcomer proceed

Tell me what ya think

[kodster]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

AARRRGH!!!

The page expands everytime i go to post and its driving me mad

Yeah this is happening with me too. Perhaps someone should PM the admins about it or post it in the General section? :|

Regardless, this actually a very good start to the tournament and I hope the good quality continues and gets even better. Yay Jinx, lol

[leorcc]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

The expansion is due to the large picture probably. I'll take it out.

Good start indeed.

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Lian Walsh: Welcome back to Crazy Bots. Here comes our 2nd 1st round battle.

From Texas USA. Megaroll 2.

The seed is back with no modifications whatsoever. How will it fare here?

From Pontefract, West Yorkshire. Flirty Skirty.

A fun entry with yellow and black chevrons. HAHA. You've got no chance

From Richmond. Orrion.

Jack Orr's realie has joined the fun with an axe and flipper. Looking like a good contender here.

Our house robots are Dead Metal. And special guest. The Judge with his menacing hammer

Roboteers standby

In the 1st contol pod above the OOTA zone is Jack Orr and Joey McConnel and in the 2nd pod is Mark Elam

3.....2....1... ACTIVATE

The battle starts off fast as Megaroll 2 races in on Flirty Skirty, ripping off a skirt in the process. Meanwhile
Orrion is watching on and comes in and smacks into the top of Flirty Skirty. It looks like the axe is stuck in
there. No it isn't. Orrion reverse too far and is launched by the floor flipper and smacks into the wall. But
landing right side up as Flirty Skirty is pushed into the house robots by Megaroll 2. And The Judge comes in
to powerslam some hits on the top of Flirty Skirty. BANG!!!!! there are some big holes in the top of that armour
now as Orrion comes in and flips Flirty Skirty on it's back. Now Megaroll 2 pushes Orrion onto the floor flipper
and is launched into the wall again. Orrion is on it's back but self rights with the axe as poor old Flirty Skirty is
being counted out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Dead Metal grasps Flirty Skirty and bring his saw down as The Judge
and Orrion bring there hammers down on the bottom of Flirty Skirty, as Megaroll 2 seems to be going round in
circles nearby. Orrion slams it's axe on the top of Megaroll 2 CEASE

The seed and the realie are through

2nd round draws

Orrion vs Eternia
Jinx 1.2 vs Megaroll 2

[kodster]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Orrion vs Eternia

An OOTA for Leo please.

Jinx vs Megaroll II

Design flaws...that big LEM170 motor will barely fit in a 17cm space (actually, counting the space armour takes up, it appears to be 14.3cm, so...) because it has a 20cm diameter, and even on its side it's 17.2cm long, so if I can hit the area where the motor is I'll probably knock the weapon out instantly. :P Also the rubber is going to be a help to me rather than a hindrance, as my tactics are not to bash it in, but grapple'n'pit the bugger since there IS a pit. Plus, if the drum spins at 4000rpm and has the teeth shown in the picture, I doubt it can actually grab onto armour and toss robots up (sorry Jamie, lol).

EDIT: Wait...it doesn't even have an underside panel either...tactic change! Attach the flipper attachment. Get it onto the forks and flip it, and then start pounding the snot out of its internals.

[RogueTwoRobots]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

If you're going by the CAD picture, then it technically doesn't have a top panel, so save yourself a flip :P

And at 4000rpm it should be able to toss robots up. It won't rip them to shreds, but it can be a good tosser

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

We return for the otherweight competitions

Bring on the featherweights

We have Stiff Breeze, driven by Martijn. System small shock, driven by Liam.
Last but not least we have Redemption, driven by Joey McConnell

The house robots are 2 guests. We have Super Megabyte and Shredderator Supreme

3 2 1 ACTIVATE

Stiff Breeze starts us off by ramming Redemption into the side wall. System Small Shock now gets
under Redemption and pushes him into the wall, pinning him there. System Small Shock now backs
off as Stiff Breeze slams Redemption again. Redemption fights back pushing System Small Shock
under the pulverizer. Stiff Breeze now gets under System Small Shock and pushes him into the
killsaws. Stiff Breeze now slams him into the house robots and Super Megabyte, who is up to
full speed, charges System Small Shock CRAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!. the impact sent System Small Shock
flying across the arena, tearing a track off in the process. System Small Shock is now going around in
circles as the RefBot checks him. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Stiff Breeze now shoves System Small Shock
down the pit. CEASE

A dominating performance by Stiff Breeze, along with Redemption, go through to the next round

[death robotics]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

We are back with Orrion vs Eternia

House Robots are Mr Psycho and Major Damage

3....2....1 ACTIVATE

Eternia starts off by charging Orrion and flipping it on it's back. Orrion self rights with the
axe, but Eternia was anticipating it and was right where it self righted and launches it high
into the air. Orrion lands right side up. Orrion slams it's axe onto the top off Eternia, now
drags it towards the house robots. But Eternia gets away before the house robots close
in. Orrion now flips Eternia. Eternia self rights and charges Orrion and flips it against the
wall, The impact was so hard. That Orrion shot up in the air after the impact against the
wall. Eternia rushes in and gets under Orrion and flips him, Orrion hits the side wall and
back down. Orrion slams the axe in desperatly trying to get away. But Eternia flips him
up and out of the arena. Eternia does a victory spin. Major Damage picks up Eternia and
parades him around. And finally drops him out of the arena. CEASE

Orrion is cut down into Oreo's . Eternia proceeds onwards
