Team Cardboard Pony: Zip Zap Zoo, Slam Down, Nightmare Moon & Daybreaker, Mr. Bright Sky, and Crush-a-Mon all lack visible drivetrains and are therefore illegal. Please clarify the meaning of "full presser flipper" for Zip Zap Zoo, as flippers are unable to press. FYI that RamShock may tip forward when trying to lift other robots. 2. The Monsterworks: Banana for Scale will operate with only half of its torque stat since only two pairs of wheels are touching the ground. SeaDevil 2 lacks a visible drivetrain and is therefore illegal. Glacier II cannot have separate lifter and flipper configurations without losing at least one point due to the multiple configurations rule. 3. Chaotic Robotics: Minigame will die in three hits. 4. Team Ignition: Please clarify if you're counting Salamandra as a saw or kinetic energy disc. FYI, Shade Fist's hoops will still be treated as if they have four armour. Necroblade is too sexy and has been deemed ineligible to compete as a result. Phantasmic Slammer's armour bonus cannot apply to the entire front wedge and entire flipper. If it applies only to the front section of the flipper, that's acceptable. 5. North-West Sheds: Odin's wedge appears hinged but isn't listed as such. Please clarify. 6. Ice Cubed Robotics: Currently missing FW, MW, and SHW entries. 7. Team TBR: FYI, Oscillator's ability to self-right is dubious. Irritant lacks a visible drivetrain and is currently illegal. Perhaps a quick cutaway sketch would do the job? 8. Team Fox: The Placid Casual will kill its weapon after five hits. 9. Team 57: No issues. Congrats. You're locked and loaded. 10. Team Mongoose: Transferring points and altering weapon makeup constitutes a second configuration on No Exit. 11. Alpha Robotics: FYI, with the vibration that comes with bristlebot movement, Ververg's wedge may not be very effective except when pressing. FYI, the alternate flipper setup on Hyperion treads dangerously close to the 1/3 limit. 12. Angry Goat Robotics: Mercury of Tria Prima lacks a visible drivetrain. Please show one. Gabe, stop trying to get around the lamp rules by using a 'hammer' for Cuddle Time! 13. Team Foxtrot Uniform: The armour bonuses for Bloody Maryam's front wedges and its lifting arm are separate bonuses. Neophyte Redglare's alternate configuration armour bonus is illegal. It should read "Armour: 12 (+3 black front wedge). Vomit Comet's bonuses will be treated as two separate bonuses. Red Shift's self-righting ability is dubious with a lifter. 14. Aquatic Robotics: Rogue Wave's self-righting is somewhat dubious. Undertow IV's armour bonus is illegal if it changes the robot's base armour. That's considered legal on reddit, but not on ARC. 15. Team Instant Regret: Compound Fracture's weapon armour bonus is dangerously close to the 1/3 limit. 16. Tartarus Robotics Group: Please mention alternative wedge setups and removable parts in the entry posts of your robots and preferably post pictures or links. 17. Team Edgy Robotics: No issues, though try to give us a picture where My Name is Mud's drivetrain is a bit easier to see. 18. Team Stealth Robotics: missing all entries except for HW. 19. Team Blood Gulch: Phobos Anomaly 2 render and info missing. Rooster Teeth needs a picture with a visible drive train. 20. ARSONIST Inc.: Rattletail's weapon still needs to be discussed in terms of its workability and damage scale. 21. Mr. AS: The armour bonuses on Mouser Mecha-Catbot's wedge tread dangerously close to the 1/3 limit. Depression is eligible for a +2 bonus only due to exploit bot. 22. Team Playzooki: No issues. Happy memeing. 23. Oryx Robotics Group: all bots need pictures and stats. 24. Team Obscure: Gaster 2's clamp will not have a 360 degree range of motion due to the plow interfering. Its alternate configuration is also illegal under the alternate configuration rules. Game Over's anti-spinner plow cannot alter its base armour. Please resolve. Golden Blaze's flails constitute entanglement devices and will not be permitted. Fear Sphere will need to allocate one weapon point for its clutch system in order to enable KE transfer. 25. Demon of Tomorrow: Other entries besides yoru heavyweight need to be resolved Which weight classes will you be competing in, if any. 26. Team Covenant: No Issues. You're locked and loaded. 27. Random Robotics: HW and SHW missing. 28. The Dream Team: HBW, LW, and HW missing. 29. Neon Calypso: If Mini Ceylon's +2 bonus to the disc is on top of its armour bonus, it treads too close to the 1/3 rule. With regards to Poseidon's Wrath 3, shell spinners receive an automatic +2 weapon armour bonus, but further bonuses may not be applied. Izzy will not be considered to be controllable by most writers due to a large speed : traction gap. 30: Team Ectogasm: all robots need to be posted.

Also, I've already talked with Monsterworks, but I will be unable to write matches until roughly mid-end November as I got into a mentorship program for mapping osu! and I'll be putting a lot of time into that. Thought I should let y'all know ahead of time and have it out in the open so it is known.

Rubber Duck Enthusiast Posts: 536 Group: Members Member #86 Joined: September 16, 2011	The Monsterworks Aug 22 2017, 01:12 PM 21. Mr. AS: The armour bonuses on Mouser Mecha-Catbot's wedge tread dangerously close to the 1/3 limit. Depression is eligible for a +2 bonus only due to exploit bot. So I just opened up CMCB:U in rhino, copied everything into a new file and deleted the bottoms of everything (including minute details such as drive motors): Then selected everything on the flipper and run it through the "Area" command rhino has to get 3.3872316 mm sq (yeah, I know mm = but bear with me here), whereas everything combined is 10.352883. 3.3872316/10.352883 = 0.32717761806, or 32.7%. Strictly speaking, that should be legal. If that's still too borderline for most then I can just have the armor bonus be the frontal portion + wedgelets and not the top. I agree with Depression though. Not too bummed even though it "only" has 13 weapon armor now.

Heavyweight Posts: 558 Group: Global Moderator Member #186 Joined: November 2, 2015	PMed Monsterworks numbers for Compound Fracture's wedges. Yes, it is actually under 1/3.
	"you can give a fuck, just don't give too much of a fuck. there's an optimal level of fuckiness, and if you exceed your fuck quota you'll burn out." - BEES Trihunter on V900's New Undercutter: Spoiler: click to toggle Number 15: Burger King Foot Princess. The last thing you want in your Burger King burger is a 15 weapon undercutter, but that might just be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his undercutter wedged in Hellhound�s plow. With the statement: "This is the spinners you get on ARC." Admittedly, he had wedgelets on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 6:24 AM on July 6, and a mere 3 minutes later, the tournament organiser in question was alerted to the rogue roboteer. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the ARC user hadn't removed the weird-ass wheels from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit ate plenty of dicks. This was at 6:27. Three hours later at 9:27, the TO posted with wishes for more writing staff. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 9:30, a link was posted: ARC�s online forum. The undercutter photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. The police contacted the forum in question the next day. When questioned, the admin said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting kicked out of the tournament." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to making speed wedges in peace.

Fun Vampire Posts: 34 Group: Members Member #216 Joined: November 18, 2016	Eugh. The metagame is so out of whack right now. So many walkers and exploit bots in general. It's terribad. All of my actual cute and colourful robots can't repel firepower of that magnitude. If you ask me, walking deathspinners are like... click for epic manifesto Literally the Devil Yes, it's an ~~Alexbot~~ exploitative walking indestructible fortress of death complete with an appropriate logo. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. If this doesn't make the walker bonus go the way of the dodo, I don't know what will. Looks like your fairly standard walking overhead deathspinner, right? Probably hits like a truck, but is laughably easy to stuff if you have a ~~Lazbot~~ brick. Well, it's Literally the Devil, after all, so it has a party trick. The weapon shaft is really long and the whole assembly is on a platform with pneumatics to boost it as shown below. There's a clutch to hold it in place at the top and flamethrowers in the weapon heads because spinning with fire turns it into spinning 2 win. The body is extremely dense and heavy, and the bar is made of a fairly lightweight alloy, keeping it at a reasonable weight. Its tip speed is best described as "bonkers". 1 speed / 1 traction / 1 torque / 19 weapon (+2: 1 each to pneumatics, clutch, and flamethrowers) / 12 armour The title is a link to the album and here's some theme music: While You were Shouting at the Devil We were in League
