Enjoy watching it push everyone down the pit. 2: Thunderstryke: can theoretically kill almost everything in the arena. The 360 lifters can probably stop its arm, though, and Feeling Crabby has equal maneuverability, an easier to use weapon, and the raw power to potentially take it down. 3: Feeling Crabby. Supposedly silly, but it's actually a pretty good vertical spinner. It's got a 2WD wedge with forks, has decent maneuverability, and hits hard enough to trash the wedges of most robots if it gets under them. The discs also make attacking it with an axe a dangerous prospect. 4: Raccoon XL. Quick, well-armored brick, but not as good at bricking as Hellhound. 5: Doorstop. Quick maneuverable design with a decent weapon. Getting OOTAs could be hard in the RW arena, though, and 9 armor is vulnerable to the spinners and axes here. 6: Nasty Heaty Stabby. Okay, there's no way that armor bonus meets the 1/3 rule, but whatever. Its flipper is ludicrously strong, possibly capable of flipping opponents over the inner walls without going to the gate, but the other bricks all outspeed it. An 8-power saw is dangerous, but with a steep wedge and no clamp it will be extremely difficult to actually hold onto the bricks for that long, and the non-bricks hit hard enough to kill it in a few hits in that config. The lifter has invincible front panels, but Thunderstryke's arm is a perfect shape to reach over them, and the vertical spinners can easily just hit between them and obliterate the central lifting arm, especially since NHS isn't fast enough to easily flank Crabby or Tasty. 7: TASTY. Those alt configs are questionable without a different in renders, but whatever. 14 weapon will have difficulty conclusively beating bricks with no way to get corner damage. It has no good way of controlling its opponent. The anti-axe config has too little weapon power to actually damage Thunderstryke and will just get pushed around, and the anti-spinner configuration has 11 armor on the wheels, which is low enough that Crabby can still destroy them. 8: Yeager I. Good luck getting your opponent up half a mile of wedge with 3 speed. Weapon is also underwhelming, armor isn't great, and its shape makes it a chew toy for hammers and spinners. Also, it's Peskius so it will probably forfeit anyway. 9: Mega Noothgrush. Didn't submit a CAD, so DQed.
	"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.

Ridiculum et Terribilis Posts: 1,035 Group: Members Member #197 Joined: May 26, 2016	1. Hellhound V - in an arena with a pit, what can anyone except maybe The Animals do against this thing? 2. Thunderstryke - broken walking hammer is broken. Still gets pwnt by Hellhound. 3. The Animals - easily high-centered, and I'm not sure if the multiple configs are legal, but it is a really cool idea. 4. Feeling Crabby - fucking gorgeous, and it's a solid 2WD drum that should do well. 5. Raccoon XL - A poor man's Hellhound. 6. NHS - Solid, with cool configs, but it just comes out slightly the worse in most matchups. Not quite fast and not quite scary. 7. Doorstop - will get bludgeoned by anything with a strong weapon and outdriven by the true bricks. 8. Yeager I - Three speed, eleven weapon, and dreadful weapon placement. If this wins a fight, it'll be due to FF.

The Shit Disturber Posts: 407 Group: Members Member #203 Joined: July 31, 2016	Woke up early to drive Alex to the airport and now I can't sleep, so y'all get some rankings out of this. 1) Hellhound V: I almost feel a little bit guilty. Almost. 2) Thunderstryke: Walking deathhammers can eat a dick. 3) Feeling Crabby: 2WD drum with feeder wedges. These always do pretty well. 4) The Animals: House of the Rising Sun. In all seriousness, this is a solid design. 5) Doorstop: Side flipper, lol. There isn't much here that can really take advantage of its low armour. 6) Raccoon XL: looses head-to-head against the other bricks and there's only one spinner for it to bully. 7) NHS: Good design, but the newbie needs to get the hand of not being caught in no man's land when statting. 8) Yeager: How can anybody think this is a good idea in any way?
