Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

If you are still reading this Dave (I presume not) and you havent blocked me (I presume not) and want to talk (you guessed it) then please have a chat with me, I need to ask a few questions before you go, as I couldnt at the time you left as I was not here.

Anyway, back to the tournament...

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus VS Pussycat (17)

Spin up, and cause as much outer and inner damage as possible without getting attacked to much. Ill try and get this one via damage on a judges verdict.

Ive faced Pussycat before with Die Ceratops Invertus, and I beat it then. Get underneath the high ground clearance, and flip it out, or around if I cant do that.

The problem with assuming one person to be a better driver than another, is that people will often assume you are biased against the one you wrote as a weaker driver. How controllable a machine is takes second fiddle to driver skill Can you imagine Typhoon in the hands of an amatuer?

This is why I always said people like Mr. Knight should come up with a driving test for robots.

That means, Tom, that I know I CAN beat it, and it is POSSIBLE that I can beat it again...its not the usual under-confident attitude I normally have when competing.

Plus, Dieceratops is improved [I think, cant be assed to check] and If it beat Pussycat before, the improved version should have a even easier time.

Not always the case, but thanks for the back-up.

Dont forget that Pussycat might have improved too though. I dont know which version was entered last time so I cant tell you.

[pcbore]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Yeah, but every version of Pussycats been pretty easy to flip around so it doesnt make too much difference.

[andrewj]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Yes, you are right there, flipping Pussycat does bugger all... :wink:

Apart from stopping it attacking you, changing which way its facing, causing impact damage from flips and maybe sending it out of the arena.
