I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Well if he's gonna have 20 armour in front and 10 armour in behind, turning won't be so great for him either with that huge weight in front. :P

Still, it's good news for me- with all his prioritising armour over drive and hauling that massive weight around, I doubt he'll be able to keep up with me. :P

tali'zorah had a huge surface area in contact with the ground, resting on a hinge.

the wedge/plow setup both have less area in contact with the ground than tali's wedge, and would obviously weigh way less than tali's steamroller (probably weigh less than the wedge setup too, given that it's meant to be an alternate setup to the steamroller. or if the wedge setup weighs less than the pin, then that would have a bunch of problems anyway that I listed in my RP when I last fought it).

But no, if Square Wave is doing "everything that tali did wrong" then there shouldn't be an issue. I'll just vote for my own robot to win its playoff matches lol.

Though I genuinely wasn't aware that Higher Armor Stat = Heavier. I mean I guess it makes sense, in a way, but that's not really something that's ever been stated or put in the rules or brought up, like, ever.

I admitted that the Roller set-up would probably have some issues, even though it had already been through a season and a half and no one else seemed to think it was a big deal. Your points about the wedge set-up aren't quite so valid Tail's wedge compared to the rest of the bot is far less than Square Wave's wedge to the rest of the bot and at the end of the day it's a regular hinged wedge anyway. In point of fact that wedge setup was not meant to be sitting flat against the ground like the picture shows. I drew it that way cause it was a bit easier and looked cleaner than trying to draw a bunch of slanted angles. I put in the caption that it was supposed to be locked on the arms in a downward angle so your point about wouldn't even apply.

Yeah, you're right. I voted for Tali in that match purely so I could win and without regard for RP's or anything legitimate. I didn't even do my scores for that fight until after the staff conversation about the fight and I didn't even know what their scores were going to be. If I really just wanted to vote for myself to win I probably would have padded the numbers more in my favor.

I mean there were a few playoff matches where Kody gave his bot the higher score. I've never once seen you give a flying fuck about that, so I'm pretty sure the only reason you cared here is because you lost. Why bother actually considering the details when it's so much easier to claim I cheated. >__>

In fairness you usually don't see such a large discrepancy on a part that hangs out in front of a bot, not just like a flipper panel on top of the bot. In this case where talking about something that has fully twice the armor of the rest of the bot hanging out front. That's pretty extreme.

lol. Why do you think I pressed for "no one votes for their own matches" so much for Ruination?
