Fight wins are given out based on how good the writer thinks your design is, and I dont know of any writer who tries to evenly distribute results to avoid complaint. If youre losing all the time, its because the writers dont feel your machine is better than the one its fighting.
Excactly, You cant expect to win if your robot is a load of scrap, which each and every one of your machines have been. If you want to win, dont make designs that suck. Its that simple.
First of all, well done for a half decent fight Dave. It worked exactly as I wanted it too and my bot went through. But however bad the other two robots were (lets face it, very bad) then I think the result could have been slightly different... but the right robots went out and in the right way at the end of the day.
Tims robot was stated poorly, and so it went out. Simple as that. What Chris said was right, if more details were given about the robot then obviously more could be written about it and the better chance it would have of getting through.
Sen is easily a design that would probably have won the match. It has 8mm titanium armor, so I doubt that it would have its sides ripped off from one hit; even from MDU.
No, Sen wouldnt have won the match because the stats werent up to scratch or the design wasnt good enough to compete. Or maybe the fact it was in the arena with two powerful spinning weapons. 8mm Titanium isnt that strong, you know. Maybe it would do for real robots, but in vapourbots the robots are a lot more powerful and advanced and some can shred 8mm Ti like paper. As for the ripping the panel off in one hit, you could be right. It would depend where and what angle the spinner hit it and how it was fixed.
And by the way, Tony never listed the inner structure of his robot in his stats. How do you percieve it as crap then?
It is percieved as crap because there was no details of the inner structure in its stats. Dave just took it as being rubbish or non-existant. Had CookieBot had a spinner as good as MDRs or Vertindiculars maybe one of those bots would have lost for lack of chassis details. But then again, Dave asked for simple stats with not tonnes of technical information - so maybe its his fault.

Listen, your writing is full of holes and it IS time you gave up on it. You said Spanish Inquisition would be your last; hell, you said that AI 3 was going to be your last. You said you had too much course work, and yet somehow you have managed to find time! Dave, if you want to leave then LEAVE! Dont just hang around the entrance, trying to be funny by always coming and going.
Alex, I wouldnt bother saying Daves writing is full of holes when you have taken part in the ARC. Yeah, Dave said those tournaments were going to be his last because he didnt have time. But when he found out he had some spare time and took the chance to start another tournament... was that really criminal? But again, Im in agreement with your last point... having done it numerous times myself I know how pissed off people get when people leave and return all the time. Just go or stay.
But still why am I always losing, for a change can I actually win a match, put that into your thick head next time.
Tim, youre losing for several reasons. As soon as you got onto this forum you started spamming, bringing up old threads and starting your own pointless threads which gained you a bad reputation. You have yet to make stats with enough detail which ends up with you losing fights because the writers dont know what your robot does. And sometimes they are on the unrealistic side. Look at the above few posts, they put it a lot better than I can.
You have a bad reputation and havent attempted to reverse it. Youve started and unfinished numerous threads. Youve failed to make a set of decent stats. You always contantly get into arguements and insult people. Nobody at all is going to let you win a fight if you go around telling people to get it into your thick heads.
Good evening gentlemen and Timmy. Are you sitting comfy for another fight for the final melee? Yes, that is good, let us begin.
Wolf vs. Dues ex Machina vs. Dennis the Menace vs. Axe-o-Lotl
Entering the arena first is Wolf, this wedge with a forward hinged low pressure flipper looks promising with added 4 wheel drive to place the power down from the lynch motors. The armour should survive a couple hits from most spinners being 6mm titanium, but against some of the most powerful spinners, then it could find life hard. Kevin Smith is looking for his first victory today with Wolf.
Entering the arena second, it is Dues ex Machina, which I shall call DEM from now-one. Entered by Alex Holt, all-time greatest English vapourbotter of all time with an entire house full of medals and cups. DEM is so damn strange, with a locking outer ring with two wheels powering it around and an inner box, where you get the heart of the beast. It can be a 4 wheel drive rammer, or a 2 wheel drive ring spinner. However the ground clearance looks small, and as Aaron tells you, when you€™re spinning around, tiny pieces fly everywhere and you can ground out if you€™re not careful.
Entering the arena, after DEM is Dennis the Menace, which looks like it€™s a drum front end with teeth, with 2 wheel drive. The front drum is powered by 2 chainsaw motors, and has 5 gears on either end controlled by mechanical levers. Two passive spikes on either side prevent Dennis from landing on its side, but it is weak to randomly placed slippers, and the Australian experts say that the 4mm drum isn€™t going to last more than a few hits.
And the final robot to enter the arena tonight is Axe-O-Lotl, Chris Mason€™s Dominator 2 look-a-like, with a high powered Co2 axe at the front. The drive system is the standard 6 wheel drive you find in Storm 2, so nothing odd to report there self-rights using the axe, but limited firing power of 40 could leave it high and dry, and the ground clearance isn€™t the highest around.
All 4 robots are in the arena, the doors have been locked, as all 4 competitors are in the control booths, as we will return after this break€¦

Welcome back from those lovely adverts, it is now time to party!

All 4 robots are away, DEM is spinning it€™s outer ring up to speed to attack the sides of Dennis, as Wolf is heading off to attack Axe-O-Lotl, as Dennis turns, and also starts to drive towards Axe-O-Lotl, looking for destruction, and those sides look lovely to attack, as Wolf gets first blow, flipping Axe-O-Lotl over, as Dennis slams in, self-righting Axe-O-Lotl, as DEM being driven by Alex slams into the rear end of Dennis, as Wolf takes an axe-blow from Axe-O-Lotl, as Dennis is pushed into the rear corner of Axe-O-Lotl, lifting Chris€™s machine up, as the rear panel of Dennis takes a lovely scar from the Hardox teeth of DEM€™s outer cage.
Wolf is back in the action, flipping Axe-O-Lotl over, into the spinner of DEM, as the top panel of Axe-O-Lotl suddenly gets an air hole to let the air out, as Daniel annoyed at the attack on his machine, rams into DEM at full speed, as DEM was driving it€™s outer wheels around, but Wolf slams into the side of Dennis, the side spike on the right hand side going down into the wooden floor, as Wolf flips Dennis over. Axe-O-Lotl slams the axe down into the top of Wolf, placing a lovely dent in the sweet titanium, as DEM shaken by the attack, rams into Dennis€™s drum, as both major spinners collide for the first time. Kevin has turned Wolf around and has flipped Axe-O-Lotl over onto its back. Chris quickly self-rights, but lands in the path of Dennis, which flips it over once more, but you can see the damage to the front drum of Dennis, as a pile of the titanium which was hit by DEM€™s teeth flies off. DEM meanwhile hits the side of Wolf, and spins it around, with another lovely scar in the side. Axe-O-Lotl is hit by Dennis again, as Chris€™ machine is twisted around, as DEM slams into it at full power, spinning the upside-down axe-robot around the arena floor, as the side armour flies off, from it€™s bolts, flying underneath Dennis, which survives by driving over it.
The damage is all to be seen on all 3 remaining robots, as Wolf flips Axe-O-Lotl over the arena wall and out. Dennis is looking at DEM, as Alex is spinning up his weapon for another attack, as both robots circle each-other, Wolf comes slamming in, as all 3 robots makes a rumble, as sparks fly and smoke goes up covering all three robots just to be annoying, as Wolf is the first to come out of the three-some, the front flipper bent, as it looked like it took a hit for the team, as Dennis comes out second of the three robots, the side panel and spike ripped off, as the spike is in the arena floor, as DEM turns and gets away, but slower, as it looks like one of the outer wheels isn€™t working, as smoke is coming from the wheel-hole. Dennis€™ front drum isn€™t working, but looks modestly intact. DEM comes in onto the attack onto Dennis and pushes the weapon-less robot towards the pit, as Wolf drives towards the pit release, the weapon locked into rambot mode, and pushes Dennis towards the opening pit, as it falls down.
CEASE
Dues Ex Machina and Wolf go forward to the final melee, but both need work to be done to them before the final.
The Final Melee Draw
Dues ex Machina vs. Wolf vs. Vertindicular vs. Mass Disctruction Revolution
The Final Melee Draw Dues ex Machina vs. Wolf vs. Vertindicular vs. Mass Disctruction Revolution
Go after Wolf and keep hitting the armour, should be able to rip something off it and immobilise it. Then go after the other bot (Dues ex Machina) and tear into it too... Aiming to hit the sides or corners or skirting on either opponent to get that nice panel tearing effect
Will let MDR do his thing, will save me having to fight so much.
The Final Melee Draw Dues ex Machina vs. Wolf vs. Vertindicular vs. Mass Disctruction Revolution
Go after Wolf and keep hitting the armour, should be able to rip something off it and immobilise it. Then go after the other bot (Dues ex Machina), will keep attacking it. I dont see it doing much damage to me and I dont think Ill do much damage to it. If he goes into to ram bot mode, Ill just let him ram into me, hell just get deflected away. Will let Vertindicular do his thing, will save me having to fight so much.
