I've never lived by anyone's rules but my own.
|
Cherax - Jesus Built My Hotrod, Eight, Rascal I feel like Cherax was my biggest risk coming into this competition. The dismal predictions for it didn't make me feel any better... but now looking at the schedule and looking at my division, I see the potential for this to pay off. Gonna have to be on point with my RPs though. Kody doesn't like the huge wedge but as a two-wheel lightweight, the wedge really is a good counterweight for keeping it stable and easier to maneuver. Very deliberate choice on my part. The question is can it take care of the high power spinners in its class, and can it avoid getting outflanked? Out of its division, I feel like Rascal is my biggest concern. I know Phil's bot has a consistent record and I anticipate that continuing. Stingray - Dancing Headless, Merry Hampton BR 2, Green Dragon Stingray is the safest choice on my team. Of all the bots I entered I feel the most confident that this one will get a good record. But the robot that put it out of commission in R:tO is in its division, and Merry Hampton is better than it's ever been this time. Kudos to Lian; I know he will rack up some wins, so holding 1st is gonna be a tough order. Parasite, MiDAS, Klarinette, Murder is Fun Ah, Parasite. I hate entering Parasite so frequently. Soon I will have more HWs to swap in but until then we're stuck with each other, aren't we Parasite? I have too much of an emotional attachment to this bot. I always felt I was being clever with my glass cannon strategy. Experience is teaching me that perhaps I should give that battle of ideas up, because nobody else is convinced. Sure, it may have issues against spinners that outrange it, but in return the extra speed and the rear wedge give it actual chances at fighting rammers that would normally be an autoloss to a spinner. Problem is... Parasite has often failed to convert that strategy when push came to shove, in the past. Pretty sure in the vote tournament, everyone voted for Klarinette except me. I think I'm the only one left in the universe that believes those kinds of matchups are totally fine for this type of bot, so I'm about 80% certain how that match is gonna go . So the question for Parasite is, can I muster a better record than Klarinette while losing to Klarinette? That's a tough order against the returning champ. I think Parasite has the toughest road ahead, out of my four bots.Barracuda, Rufus Stone, Bistre Airwaves , Green War In my 8 years competing on ARC, not once have I gotten a superheavyweight into the playoffs. Very often I used the SHW slot as a testbed for ideas that I'd refine later, but the bots I ended up entering were more 'ideas' than actual fully fleshed out robots. I need to stop being a 3-weight class team. I'm gonna try to fix that. Of all the SHW attempts I've made, Barracuda came the closest in LORE, and it's currently the only bot of mine with a positive W/L ratio in that weight class. With the loss of the wedge stat, the whole idea Barracuda was centered around in LORE is gone, so I had to redesign it around having a strong front. I believe the robot I've come up with is the best shw I've ever entered though and it should have the ability to do well. It's a 9 point axe, and the front wedge is on a 9-point lifter. In some ways it capitalizes on the same mechanic that made Teresa broken--an impenetrable front and a weapon that could damage many robots unexpectedly. But on top of that, the wedge can press into the floor, breaker-box style. Very difficult robot to get under, much like it was in LORE. The real kicker though is that I can flip opponents and then bring that axe down on their soft underbelly--something a few people should be especially concerned about. Out of its own division I think my toughest matchup will be Bistre Airwaves, which I think could be my toughest matchup in the weight class. If Rob actually shows up to RP that could be a very strong competitor. Rufus Stone is also a concern. I'll have some critical matches against the usual suspects right out of the gate: Final Boss, Fulcrum, Solar Smash, Phantasmic Slammer all in succession, but I don't need to do better than those bots to get into the playoffs. Considering they all look pretty soft on top, I think my chances of plucking off upsets against some (or all?) of those should be decent. Edited by BEES, Feb 10 2014, 06:09 PM.

SHW RP up. I've analysed just about every possibility according to our designs, and from that I'm hoping to get another one over Phantasmic- that'd be a great way to start. |

I'm going to be leaving this Friday, and I won't be back until next Sunday, so I'm RPing now. Hope everyone understands. |

Wait a second. About that SHW RP...my turning will be slower because? I've got at least a two-point Traction advantage over Phantasmic Slammer, so my agility and control should be a fair improvement by comparison. (Just so you know, the only reason I read it was because it was locked and therefore submitted, so I wasn't trying to break any rules by doing so. This is just an observation.) |

Understandable if it's on a long wheelbase (Ala F-Dynasty or New Cruelty), but Rufus's wheelbase isn't much longer than a standard 4WD one, so it shouldn't have that much of an effect when you think about it. |

It's pretty much been the accepted trade-off for having more wheels. Your turning gets a bit gimped, but your control is a bit better than bots with fewer wheels. |
