Well then, that's all my stuff up. Hopefully it'll pay off, but I doubt it. |

Seems like once again I've lost motivation for all bots except Veto. I can't wait until Upheaval where I can run 4 designs that I really like a lot as opposed to here where I'm kinda "meh" about all my entries. |

I've never lived by anyone's rules but my own.
|
Yeah I spent my first few years on ARC entering 3 mediocre robots just to enter one robot I cared about basically. Wasn't until CBBR that I fielded four competitive entries instead of one. It's definitely pretty nerve-wracking having all your hopes and dreams hanging on one robot. |

Not 0-5 because I haven't quite lost at life yet. Nvm, somehow I managed a win with Bass Drop? Edited by Hiicantpk, Jul 19 2016, 03:02 PM.

Considering how tough that week could have been, 3-1 seems like a good outcome to me. Thought I'd be able to deal with Sundown Ranger, but it's still only Bloodlust's first loss. I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it's been doing so far. =) |

1-3 ouch, Sparkster's first loss but it had to come eventually he's doing a fine job so I'm not too worried about it, Lethal is doing great, Powerdrive is shamboloic and Chemical Explosion...well pretty much exploded. |

With reddit taken into account, I've managed to go 5-0 this past week. This has also caused me to break even on my lifetime record. I am quite pleased

RIP Icepick Lobotomy's winning streak. Charybdis sucks as usual, although even with the new melty rules I doubt I'd have won that fight. Compound Fracture is now 5-1 halfway through the tournament, as is IL. I haven't heard any reference to the weapon armor rule for spinners being +2 if more than 1/3 of surface area; I thought it was diameter-based, and the 1/3 rule is for armor that's given stat bonuses only. There was some discussion of weapons with huge surface areas for Pressure Drop, but I'm pretty sure that was after Backlash started... and if we're updating rules mid-tournament Charybdis should really be winning more fights ;-) In any case, I don't think that rule is necessary for full-body drums. Yes, most of the robot's surface is very durable, but the wheels are far-forward compared to regular vertical spinners, they're a big target for horizontal spinners, and losing one will stop the weapon. The parts without weapon armor are small, but they are significantly easier to attack than on a shell or overhead spinner. |
