3-1. I should be satisfied with that, but the Kraze match was bullshit, in my view. That's twice that's happened this season alone. |

2-2 is a good score, Upchuck has a good fight but couldn't beat Jynx. Bammer in his usual form, but Rocket Knight and Chemical Explosion continue their good form. |

But that's actually helped me on what needs improving, maybe not much on Upchuck but I may give him a much more good design. |

I was trying to be funny, lol. It's Jinx, not Jynx ![]() Upchuck, I would probably give him a bit of a lower flipper, at least on the end. Maybe widen it just a smidge. |

Hmm, maybe I can adjust the front angle of Upchuck and also make his flipper a tad wider, should I also change the tip of his flipper? He also needs a theme tune. |

OK, that's all of mine up. EDIT: Though, just from checking the RP thread after I was finished uploading my strategy- I just want to confirm on the MW RP that Marauder's weapons work fine when inverted, contrary to what Kody said about them in his RP against it. As mentioned in the signups, the dual sets of linear actuators on each side mean the Lifter/Flipper works both ways up (Pushes on the bottom side and pulls on the top side, and vice versa), and it has another set of spring-loaded spikes on the bottom of the chassis (More-or-less identical to the ones on top) that are normally pushed in by the weight of the robot on top of it. Normally I try not to make these sorts of comments regarding the design, but I feel that was a bit of an error that needed to be brought to attention. Edited by GF93, Nov 15 2015, 12:11 AM.

No, they don't Alex. And I've said this before as well. Because of the position of the lifter, you don't have the same leverage upside-down, and I know this because I've (and others) had to write matches for Marauder before. It's the same problem Rocket Knight has too, no offense TBR. |

Yeah... I've lost pretty much all motivation to RP for any bot except Veto. I should have spent much more time making designs that would be effective instead of ones that just looked cool. I really can't wait for Backlash where I'll have more than one bot that can actually do well. |

Nitro express and Airtime are still decent, tbh. I'm really surprised that Airtime has done this poorly |

I may redesign Airtime and enter it into Backlash. But it would have to be an exceptionally good design, because I really like Viper and want to stay with that. The problem with NE is that I didn't give the drum enough power, and made the overall shape very inviting for wedges. |
