Yeah Badnik, you fucked yourself over here. Well done.

I mean, you could have just wrote up a good RP and tried to win that way, but no, you had to pull that shit? Come on.

I didn't know about any of this. I asked an hour before if he was going to RP, he didn't answer. I didn't know about British DST, and now it's suddenly my fault because he got an extra hour to RP. It was midnight EST when I posted.

Okay.

I'm holding off on deciding this until I get the opinions of the other writers. I mean, it's my match but they are helping with the tournament so it's only fair to ask them.

Uridium is probably the only robot that could really test Chemical Explosion, that robot is going to be a tough one to take out for sure, just hope the tactics are good enough for me to try and take down Uridium.

Yup, that one should be good. As mentioned, looks like it could end up being a very kill-or-be-killed affair- depending on if it's Uridium's hammer or Chemical Explosion's blades that do the necessary damage first.

Also, I just had a quick peruse through the locked RP threads for this week, and noticed that Goat had a few questions regarding Marauder's design. With that in mind, I'll answer them here for him if that's alright-

Angry Goat
 
Marauder confuses me, because how can it be either a flipper or a lifter? :wat:

It's down to being designed around being able to swap what kind of Linear Actuators (Electric Pistons, basically.) it uses between fights, so it can be one or the other. This was based on a system Kody's very good HW machine Cutie Honey had, which had a big Flipper that could also be set to work as a Lifter by swapping out the Pneumatics for an Electric Motor. Worked very well for him, so I figured it'd be a great thing to add to Marauder to make it more adaptable- previously it was a pure Lifter that was only effective one way due to the sloping sides, which was good for fighting bricks and things, but it needed something more for actually popping opponents over and fighting more effectively when it was flipped.

Angry Goat
 
a 2 powered lifter is going to be so slow that I should be able to drive off before he can get me under his control.

To tell the truth, lifting isn't actually the prime purpose for the Lifter Mode. It's actually more for pushing the plate into the ground to increase the wedgeability factor of the robot, making it easier to outprioritise the wedges of other bricks/wedges and from there get underneath them more easily. It can lift, but it's at a below-average speed, so I only really like to use it when I'm sure it won't backfire somehow- like when I have an opponent pinned against a wall/corner, have their wheels off the ground, or otherwise when they can't get away or fall off or whatnot.

Angry Goat
 
also, if his spikes are spring loaded, doesnt that take a point of his weapon power?

It doesn't. The Spikes themselves aren't actually powered by anything mechanical (So no motors or catches or anything), but are mounted on spring-loaded bases that enable them to work a lot like the one-way spike strips you sometimes see in Car Parks. As in, holding opponents in place when they come from the front, but retracting into the body from the weight on them if something gets caught on top or when it's flipped over (Hence why there is one set on each side of the chassis.) to not get in the way. They're good so far, but I think I could probably make them bigger so they work better.

It wasn't even mine, lol. Cutie Honey borrowed the pneumatic/hydraulic system from Alex Holt's robot Achilles on the FRA Fanfic forum, where you had to be incredibly specific with your stats. :v:

No worries man, glad I could sort that out. Tune in on Monday for the first-hand demonstration. :proud:

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.

Ugh. Note to self, don't put the wedge extenders on when fighting spinners. :/

Ah well, at least I know for next time- and credit where credit's due TBR, I was impressed by your win over me there, so well done. Plus, it's great to see Conqueror and Marauder take some nice wins this week as well- considering spinners are usually the bane of my existence on here, it's nice to be able to have some revenge. :P
