I've already stolen Annoying Box Rush. :v:

I remember when I entered Stingray into CBBR and Badnik said it was a "Force-Feedback style of bot". :v:

Not a Probot style bot mind you. A Force-Feedback style bot.

Who's Probot? :v:

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

In fairness I did do that with Influenza. It's a very old bot at this point. It had competed for some time on FRA before I entered it here, but it used to have a Son-of-Whyachi style cage before I came to ARC and updated it.

I saw that lifting the weapon motor above the weapon would make the whole design more efficient and I adopted the hell out of that. There were a couple robots already doing that here... not really sure which one was actually the first.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

This will be the first tournament since Vengeance where every robot I entered has an active weapon.

Looking good, Alex. Automaton's stats however are currently illegal, since wedge effectiveness cannot be higher than traction. It's in the sign-up OP, and I stated this earlier in this thread.

I count Drive for that.

I'll check the rules again and try to enter correct stats.

Aye. Perhaps I'll discuss with him and see if I can persuade him- it'd be nice if we could have some more contenders sticking around here, bring the community back to its former glory

I hate to break it to you but this.

I was just realizing how these new Traction rules make Give Way impossible, having 0 traction as the omni wheeled bot it is, and therefor unable to have any wedge at all.

Nice, the coolest addition to my team in ages imediately thrown out of the window by the new rules xD

I will have to cook up... something else! :ph43r:

Still, whatever the reason may be, I know I'll definitely be entering. In the pursuit of a good fight, there's nothing can keep me down.    :P

*le 4 hours later.*

TBH, i might just enter a team of rubbish.

You could enter a pile of horse manure and you'd still be miles above the likes of Sylandro. Not that you will, of course.

:o

I will enter poop

I remember someone saying that it was the trade-off for being able to move in any direction. Otherwise regular wheels would become pointless.

Hasnt it always been such that a traction STAT of 0 did not equal "omg no traction whatsoever!"? Otherwise indeed the many omni wheeled bots that have been entered over the years would not have moved at all.
