AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

So sorry for the big delay folks, but the schedule is finally ready. The first deadline will officially be next weekend so we don't begin with a partial week.

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.

Okay, something interesting just came to my attention and I wanted to make a post about it now (instead of weeks from now :P ).

Charybdis has given a bonus to teeth and outer ring. The issue is that Charybdis is a square (and nothing in his description contradicts this visual fact) so he has 4 sides so each side gets an independent bonus, lowering his base armor to 2.

Shit, umm...

Did not realize that it would count as an independent bonus for all the sides since they were less than 1/3 of the robot's surface area.

Can I change it so only the teeth have a bonus?

I believe that would run into the same problem since they're still on 4 different sides of the robot (although you could maybe make an argument for them being on two different sides)

Hmm... In that case, can I just reduce the armor bonus to +1, which would give me a base armor of 6 and 11 armor on the sides and teeth? I know it's after the tournament's started, but this was due to a misinterpretation of the rules which wasn't corrected until this morning.

Also, IMO melties need a serious buff for future tournaments. Spinup being traction-dependent AND not having a weapon armor bonus is crippling. With the current rules a ring spinner with the exact same stats as Charydbis (but flipping weapon and speed) and no armor bonuses would have 12 weapon armor, 10 armor on top, and spin up almost instantaneously. IRL both rings and melties are rare due to it being difficult to build one that works and doesn't break, but there's no realistic reason rings should be inherently more durable or spin up faster.

I toyed with this in my last LoRE tournament. IIRC it worked pretty well.

If we're talking future tournaments, we should also lower the walker bonus to +4 :P

I agree with HDiT here, and I like what Badnik did with the giving melties an automatic +3 to the weapon... that gives you an easy 3 to put into traction and make your spin-up time reasonable.
