Welcome to the forums Brian!

However... 17 weapon, 5 armor? That's enough of a disparity for it to explode in one hit I think...

Well, the design calls for the weapon to be excessively powerful. Only being able to divide 30 point among five stat categories is way too limiting in my opinion. There's only so much I can do.

I'd say drop it to 14, with armour values here, 14 points will still see you obliterate most bots. Plus it'll leave extra points to pack onto armour, which is extremely vital here.

Welcome to the boards, Brian. =) Hope you stick around, it's always good to see some new faces.

It probably would be a good idea to drop Weapon and up Armour in that particular example. If you've got a powerful spinning weapon, you do need some pretty good armour as well, so you don't end up doing more damage to yourself than your opponent. You can take a look back through some other tournaments to see what works and what doesn't.

Advice taken. Dropped 3 points from weapon and put it into armor. New stats are:

Speed: 4
Traction: 3
Torque: 1
Armor: 8
Weapon: 14

Is that better?

I'm glad to be here! And I've been thrilled so far with how people have liked my designs even with as little CAD experience as I have.

One question I have that I really want answered though: Where do I find the write-ups of the actual fights? I can find where the RPs are, but I can't actually find the fights. Where am I supposed to look to find them?

I have to say I was hoping they'd be much longer. I was hoping the write ups would be more like a TV play-by-play instead of a summary. Oh well, not really upset by it. Just a tiny bit disappointed.

In some of the older tournaments, we had a member who would do long write-ups TV style for the Finals. It's probably asking a bit much to have all the fights in a given week written up in that style though. :v:

Admittedly result length has kind of shortened over time as they mostly end up focusing on the key parts of the match and not spend much time writing about portions of the match were nothing really happens.

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.

There were longer, play-by-play style results in some of the official ARC tournament Finals (certainly Armageddon, that was my first tournament here), but I think everyone agreed it was too much work on the part of the writers.

Honestly, just be happy when the results manage to get posted within 2-3 days of when they are supposed to be posted. XD

Okay, I withdrew the 4 robots I had entered in Ruination and replaced them with some new designs that are all part of the theme I'm going for, and plan to continue for some time. Check out the new designs if you want to.

Blargh... I guess I shouldn't set "firm" deadlines anymore. :/

I'll be honest, I'm feeling pretty demotivated at the moment, indirectly due to IRL issues... and I haven't done anything related to the tournament for a while. Nor do I even want to, and this is probably going to continue for a while, so the tournament's on hold until I feel like doing robot stuff again.

Maybe this will be a blessing for some people who wanted a break, but eh. Sorry. >__<

Well, this is disappointing. Was really looking forward to this.

Nonetheless, I look forward to when this thing gets restarted, and I sincerely hope to see you kicking some butt in Hammerfall next month. You have one of the most feared bot by a long shot over there...I'd hate to see it go to waste! =)

I know man. It's just that I can't concentrate on this when there's so much other shit on my mind, not least of all family health. When I kick this thing off, I want to put in (at least almost) 100% effort. It WILL kick off, just not sure when, now.

But yeah, I'm still up for Hammerfall, no worries there. :)
