crazy bots 2.0.

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

lol, not bad, descriptive and to the point.

Two things though...try to make the fights a bit more exciting (without going overboard of course), you know, jazz them up a bit. Also, try and make them a bit longer. If I stretch out that paragraph, it's barely 3 and a half lines long (on the family computer anyway :P).

Just some friendly advice.

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

OK Kody

P.S. Did you like the Orrion/Oreo joke :P

[leorcc]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Go me!

I agree with Kody, a little bit on the short side, but not bad at all.

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

We return for some more action.

Jinx vs Megaroll 2

The house robots are Shunt and Sgt Bash

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

Megaroll 2 comes racing out of the traps to try and cause some damage to jinx and CRASH!!!!. The impact
sends a shower of sparks across the arena because Jinx hit the drum at the exact same time. Now it looks
like Megaroll 2 is having trouble getting back up to speed, but does eventually but Jinx rushes in and hits it
BASH!!!!!!!!. It looks like Megaroll 2 cant get back up to speed, in fact the weapon is dead. Jinx now pushes
it towards the flipper and watches as Megaroll 2 flies into the arena wall with a bash. Megaroll 2 now tires to
get Jinx over to the house robots, but is lacking that power to do so. Jinx now slams the axe into Megaroll 2's
body. The axe is now stuck in the body. Jinx pushes Megaroll 2 towards the house robots. Shunt brings his axe
down on the top on Megaroll 2, look at the holes in the top. Jinx lifts Megaroll 2 up into the air. Now it turns its
attention to the side wall and tries to dump Megaroll out of the arena. But due to the fact the axe is stuck. It
means that Megaroll 2 is hanging outside of the arena for dear life. Jinx now reverses which makes Megaroll 2
hit the wall and finally drop off. Jinx does a victory spin. But Shunt does'nt like it and brings his axe down on Jinx.
Jinx hits back and rips out the safety link in the process!!. Now Jinx slams the axe down on the floor and it gets
under where SGT Bash is and flips him over. Now Jinx does a victory spin without any interruptions, execpt for
one thing.

CEASE

Megaroll 2 is dead once again as Jinx proceeds to the heat final

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Still short, but sweet. w00t!

Eternia vs. Jinx

That's a powerful flipper but I see an advantage here; the HDPE. It's thick but it's not as resistant as some other materials like aluminium alloy or titanium. I can dent it up and even poke a hole into it (though I'm doubtful I'll carve the hole all the way through due to 40mm of HDPE :P). With this, I see two possibilities.

1) Jinx gets the axe stuck in the HDPE, and drags Eternia into the pit.
2) Jinx doesn't get the axe stuck in the HDPE, but it still leaves a huge mark.

Thus, the plan will be to utilize my more powerful drive and get around to Eternia's sides, while making sure not to drive close to the arena wall (lest I get thrown OOTA) or pit, and hammering away on that top. The flipper seems to be made of that stuff too so maybe if I dent it up well enough it won't run flush with the ground anymore and then I can get under from anywhere. Generally, just axe him up until I can grapple him properly and get him down the pit.

G'luck Mr. Leo.

That is one of the better properties of hdpe. When it comes to axes you want a material that absorbs the impact, not resist it. Your axe will just bounce. To combat axes I prefer hdpe over aluminium or titanium every day.

1) Jinx gets the axe stuck in the HDPE,

Which means you cant get away and I can turn into you to line up the shot.

2) Jinx doesn't get the axe stuck in the HDPE, but it still leaves a huge mark

Which will not help you at all unless it goes to a judges decision which I don't intent to.

A more powerful drive doesn't help either, all I need to do is turn and you need to arc around to get to the side of me, so my flipper will be in line with your robot at all times. Once you are up my flipper arm, no amount of drive will save you.

Bon Chance monseigneur Kody.

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Eh, I can still use the front forks to get under your flipper. Jinx has 2WD near the back, and her front forks are welded to the scoop; she'll lean her entire body weight on 'em so they'll get under your flipper no problem-o. After that it'll be a pit and then a pint, what do you say?

We'll see about that. The pit part not the pint part.

For the heat final

Eternia vs Jinx

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

Eternia comes racing out of the traps at Jinx, Jinx tries to hit Eternia, but misses a Eternia gets away.
Jinx now chases Eternia down. Eternia now reverses and gets under the side of Jinx and lets out an
almighty flip BASH!!!!! Jinx hits the floor hard. Jinx now self rights, but Eternia chases her down and
flips her from the side again. This time, Jinx landed right side up. Jinx now gets under Eterina and pushes
him into the floor flipper WHOOOOSH!!!!! Eternia smacks into the wall and back down. Eternia self rights.
Look at that. Eternia's c02 canister bursted when he self right. Eternia manages to get it's flipper down
as Jinx chases him down immeadiatly, pounding away with the axe. But Eternia is absorbing almost most
of the attacks. Scratches here and there but Eternia is holding up well. Now Eternia gets under Jinx and
pushes Jinx into the side wall at speed. Now the pit descends, Eternia, still under Jinx, manages to get a
couple of slams into the walls before Jinx finally gets away. Eternia gets under Jinx again and shoves her
onto the floor flipper and OMG!!!! Jinx hit the roof and took out a few lights. Jinx though is completley
unshaken and chases Eternia across the arena. Eternia is now cornered by Jinx. Who slams it's axe down
again and again and again. Jinx grapples withe Eternia and pushes him towards the pit. Eternia is fighting
back. Will he hold on. NO he wont as Jinx lets go CEASE. Jinx through to the semis

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

I actually went into that expecting to lose...ah well, so much for my expectations, eh? Good fight Lian.

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Lian Walsh: Welcome to Heat B, Lets see who we have

From The Land Of the Roundabouts. Frustum

From Holland. Axe To Fall

From Somewhere? Compression

House robots are Shunt and Cassius Chrome

Frustum comes in and flips Axe To Fall on his back. Axe To Fall self rights, Axe To Fall now hits
the top of Frustum, Frustum backs off and Compression clamps hold of Frustum, Axe To Fall now
comes in and pounds the top of Frustum. The pit now decends. Frustum tries to get away, but
Compression has pinned him in and Axe To Fall keeps hitting it. Compression now pushes Frustum
into Shunt who now brings his axe down on Frustum, Frustum gets away but runs straight into
Axe To Fall who brings down his axe on Frustum. Compression clamps onto Frustum once more.
Frustum manages to get away and flips Axe To Fall. Axe To Fall tries to self right. But Frustum
keeps getting in the way each time. Axe To Fall finally self rights. Frustum flips Axe To Fall over
once again, Frustum charges Axe To Fall at the pit, but Axe To Fall self rights and moves out of

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

We are back

Fissure vs OID vs Gabriel V

3 2 1 ACTIVATE

Fissure starts off by darting at Gabriel, flipping him over. Gabriel self rights and goes after
OID. Sparks shower the arena as OID now hits Fissure. Gabriel shoves OID into the wall
and pins it there for as long as possible until Fissure flips him over, Gabriel self rights but
Fissure anticipated the move and flips him over again. Using the flipper to pin Gabriel down.
OID comes in and hits the front of Fissure. Gabriel self rights and rushes Fissure and flips it
over and pushes it towards the wall, it seems like he's pushed it into a position where he cant
self right, He's trying but has stacked himself up against the wall. The RefBot comes in to count
him out 1 2 3 4 5 67 8 9 10. OID comes in and rips the flipper clean off. Gabriel now pushes the
dead fissure towards the OOTA zone and out CEASE

2nd round draws.

Axe To Fall vs Gabriel V
OID vs Compression

Tactics, Predictions and the blueprints to Achilles please LOL ( Just kidding dont need em)

[kodster]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Ask Mr. Alex Holt if you want 'em. :P As for tactics and predictions...

Axe To Fall vs Gabriel V

Not sure, but I'll side with Gabriel because he's rather hard to hit and/or push around.

O.I.D. vs Compression

O.I.D. looks good enough to spin to win, I guess.

[andrewj]

Re: crazy bots 2.0.

Poor Fissure.

I think Gabriel V and O.I.D. could be meeting in the heat final.
