If there ends up interest in all the stats stuff like I've been helping with for Hammerfall, I'd be willing to help out do power rankings/prediction threads/statistics here too. |

I'm probably gonna keep making changes to my lineup right up until the deadline lol. The actual lineup itself is the same, but Viper is now just a pure axe bot. The wedge is no longer a lifter and is just a simple hinged wedge now. |

You should have plenty of time for that. Especially since we're planning on updating the CFL list at the end of Ruination, FRR won't begin immediately after Ruination ends. |

The other line ups I'm seeing are already frightening, I best come up with some solid designs. It's nice to have a really good challenge. |

Hey there, attackfrog! Good to see you signing up for Backlash! ![]() You have some nice bots. Of what flaws or interesting bits I see, I'll comment on the most obvious things right now. Pelican... the flipper is very very thin. Coupled with the wheels right at the back and I imagine it would be very easily for fellow robots to dodge the front entirely. Royale... you won't need a weapon point for a srimech, provided it's only used for self-righting... but how far back does the srimech go? How much force is behind it? Undertow II... the back end seems quite big, does it have enough power to throw itself back over if flipped? D'Artagnan... is the front shock absorber hinged? It doesn't look like it would be that useful for wedging. Also I'm not sure but the absorber might cover more than 33% of the available surface area on the robot, so that piece of armour may not be able to get an armour bonus. That's all I have to say for now, but they're all really good renders. Any other thoughts, guys? |

defintely decent designs overall, I'd agree that the LW is far too long, and will be dodge-able in the front. You should be able to make Undertow's flipper longer and wider without any issue (making it take up more of the chassis), which would make self-righting easier. and you might want to make your SHW's front hinged, and plow-ier. Glad to see even more new people. it's nice to not be as much of a rookie as some of the other guys

KodeBreaker:
Hey there! Didn't see this thread when I entered... Glad you like Aphelion! It will probably be back for Hammerfall 2 with a little more armor, but an arena with no OOTAs is a bad fit for a high-powered flipper. The_Angry_Goat:
Glad you like it. Unfortunately, Danger Noodle is probably the weakest bot in my lineup given the other entries in the bracket, since the SHW class has a bunch of horizontal spinners and heavily-armored bricks. British-Robotics:
Yep, the concept is basically: "Hey, Barber-ous is a pretty cool design, wouldn't it be awesome if somebody made a robot like that which actually worked?" Danger Noodle is actually pretty much an upscale of an IRL design of a similar robot that I'll hopefully actually build when I have money and my own shop. NFX:
Thanks. I probably won't post that often until Backlash starts (it sounds like signups will close right around when my semester ends anyway), but I'll be around. It seems like the time commitment isn't too bad, so I might also sign up to write results for Hammerfall 2 (something tells me a lot of writers will be needed, especially if there are multiple weight classes), and whatever events happen here after Backlash ends. |

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'll definitely be making some adjustments. I should post a picture of the back of Royale, I guess, to give a better idea of how it's hinged. I think it should work, though. Increasing Undertow II's flipper size definitely makes sense, as does making D'Artagnan's plow thing hinged and a bit smaller. And I guess I'll just squish Pelican a bit. |

unrelated to all that, I like the idea of in-line wheels on Undertow. it's something I've used in besiege, and I'm interested to see how it works in a semi-real life environment |
