Currently a decent brick could probably sweep featherweight, so there's an idea for you.


(Britespark enters a brick)

Anyway...

Britespark: Accepted, but please specify the individual power for the hammer and lifter on Yield, and the jaws and spike on Vice.

@The_Angry_Goat: Yep, your name is in the "writers" section of the "currently signed up" post.

@Britespark: Updated the signup sheet, but I have a couple comments.

First, the outer size of your skirts in the top view and side view don't match up. Second, 15 cm is EXTREMELY tall for a hobbyweight. Most opponents will be able to fit right underneath your weapon without getting hit - the ones that won't are either vertical spinners and drums or some weird design like BrainTheAmerican's angled spinner. That means you're relying entirely on your skirts: if a wedge gets under those, you won't get a hit at all. For reference, IRL Charles Guan built a 30 lb overhead spinner with a blade clearance of around 2" http://www.etotheipiplusone.net/?p=3192.

For realism and effectiveness, a 2-3" high chassis is probably reasonable for a hobbyweight. You can also put a downward bend in your blade to make sure it will be able to hit your opponents.

Also, be very careful with hinged skirts on overhead spinners. A big hit can break your angle limiters or deform the skirt so it gets hit by your own weapon, potentially jamming it, as happened in T-Minus vs. Hazard.

I changed my mind. I managed to get a couple of ideas, which I will attempt tomorrow. In the meantime, let me know if the Featherweight is fine. Will probably try and make it look a little cleaner.

Damn, Loud Love is going to be a fun bot to fight. Can't wait to see it in action.

Whoa, Loud Love is going to be interesting! (by the way, unless otherwise specified the hammers will be treated as each having a power of 7).

Caldera is just plain terrifying, although I suspect some of the brick bots will be able to just box rush it.

Just a reminder, there's only three weeks left to sign up!

Minor change to Papercuts' stats to accommodate for some of the newer featherweight entries. I think my team is more-or-less finalized now. I'm excited for this to start!

(by the way, unless otherwise specified the hammers will be treated as each having a power of 7).
that feels really low. it's not even half of the total score... isnt it usually 2/3 of the weapon score?

also why is everyone entering spinners :v:

Hmm, the ruleset I have says that multiple weapons need their individual power specified.

But yeah, 2/3rds of the total score seems more balanced. Disregard my earlier post, I'll treat Loud Love's hammers as having 10 power unless otherwise stated.

Rhino3D textures can be hard to work with. :v: Though the snake motif was a success.

Well, ready to rock.
