Well, it's time to learn. Besides, I know at least a couple of my bots will fail in this tournament, and I'm still doing this for the fun of it. I could go 0-75 (example) and I wouldn't care because I'm doing it for fun and for the entertainment of both writers and RPers alike. You should too. |

Wait, do the bots you entered in the special events have to also be in the main competition? I have a clampbot I might want to test out, and Aphelion and Icepick Lobotomy could use some exercise as well. |

Ideally, I'd prefer to use main-draw bots. However, if all six spots in the type matches are not filled by the sign-up deadline, then I'll accept bots that are not in the main draw. |

Giraffe, unless I am mistaken Feathergo is illegal due to its placing in Bot-O-Rama. |

Alright, so to address a few issues: 1) Mole, you can post in this thread and you can indicate which side events you'd like to enter on your signup post. Just edit them in. No worrries. 2) Unfortunately, Feathergo, having won playoff matches before, is ineligible for CBC. It's a shame, because it looks awesome, but rules are rules. Having seen your other bots, though, I can't wait to see what you come up with to replace it. 3) Who competes in terms of which bots you'll enter or who you'll be squaring off against? The former look pretty good, and the latter look very interesting. |

I'd argue that Feathergo 2 is an unrelated design and only bears the name of the robot entered in Bot-o-Rama. This is the robot that entered BoR and would be ineligible. |

Yeah, I'm agreeing with Noisey here: Feathergo 2 is a completely different design to the original. Also, holy shit at Invertigo. It's like Pussycat but with a serious weapon! ...I'd say it'll be cool to fight, but its really weird shape is going to make it very difficult for Scylla to deal with. |

Speaking of Feathergo 2... I would seriously advise foregoing the armour bonuses. As it stands, you're giving it bonuses in three separate areas (front, left side, right side) which drops your main body armour down a very considerable amount. I'd also advise dropping a torque point in favour of weapon. Currently, your srimech drops the power of your weapon to 12, which won't be able to damage much in the current field, and I don't really see Feathergo being the best pusher so the torque is needless. Also, from Hellfire's description: "A set of small rear wheels push into the ground to make the flipper more effective at getting under opponents." Is this the 2WD you're describing? Because if not, you are essentially beaching yourself on unpowered wheels and the tip of your wedge, and allowing your opponent to drive around you. Please clarify.

Dantomkia uses a similar system without beaching itself, so i see no reason why hellfire's wouldn't |

Is Dantomkia pushing on its own 2WD? If not, it's lifting its drivetrain off the ground. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. And that's what I'm trying to make clear here with Hellfire. |

This is DTK's resting position![]() When the foot goes down, it presses on the rear, forcing the front down - the 2WD works like an axle hinge, and it experiences no loss in traction You can kinda see the foot here And here ![]() If you continue to not believe that it works, go watch the robot wars heat they were in this year - they talked about the foot there as well |

Basically what Angry Goat said about DTK. I think Cassius also used a similar system iirc. Here's an pic of Hellfire with the shell removed to show what it's doing with the new rear wheels. The small pink wheels are the ones doing the pushing and rotate on the same axle as the drive wheels.

....................... Somehow, you've both further confused me about the system and I hereby refuse to write any matches for Hellfire on account of not understanding it at all.

DP Okay I sort of (in the loosest sense I suppose) understand the system now, but will Hellfire really need it? It has quite a bit of weight in front so I don't think it'll wheelie... |
