�\_(ツ)_/� Posts: 2,269 Group: Admin Member #175 Joined: August 20, 2015	If I may, avalanche, I'd like to make a few suggestions on your robots. first of all, though, you definitely know how to design, you just have some basic unfamiliarity with the state system that are common with people new to it. Blitz: too slow - 6 is average speed, anything slower than 4 better have a damned good reason (IE weapon that covers the entire body, like an overhead spinner or something on a turret), and too little armor (generally if you want to not die to a spinner some part of your robot needs around 10 armor) Raus: weapon:armor ratio is perfect, but spinners don't need torque, especially not ones with 14 weapon. move the torque into speed and traction (maybe spd:5/tra:4/tor:), and this could go deep into the playoffs with proper RPing Cutthroat: too slow, too much torque - you'll definitely want at least 6 speed to make this work. good armor, and the multiple weapons split should let both your weapons take 2/3 of the weapon stat (so 3 for the hammers (assuming they move together), and 3 for the lifter) Panzer Strike: 2 speed is worthless on a hammer - nothing else about the design matters because you will lose every single fight when most spinners can easily out flank you. hammers can't get away with more than 1 or 2 torque if you want a decently powerful weapon, and you might want to give an armor bonus to the front, because 9 armor is a tad flimsy. you don't need to listen to me at all if you don't want to, I'm just letting you know about this because all too often people get discouraged when they realize halfway through a tournament that their stats don't really work well.

Ruiner of All Posts: 9,053 Group: Admin Member #33 Joined: December 1, 2006	The speed rule has been adjusted, just to placate a few people. But not the way they think. The long/stupid name rule stays, and you can bitch about it all you want.

(�̀ᴗ�́)و Posts: 294 Group: Members Member #178 Joined: September 14, 2015	I made a chart about the speed change. Basically, adding points in speed is less useful now than in the old system, especially for low speed robots.

Ruiner of All Posts: 9,053 Group: Admin Member #33 Joined: December 1, 2006	A combination of my own business with my YouTube videos and Twitch stuff, and that Riley and Syl have their tournaments going on, has made me reschedule the deadline into late February. It's still going to happen, I just need to, you know, get back into this sort of thing. And, you know, not suck. Not sucking would be good. :V
