ARC

Hey, look at those exposed tracks! Even with the low armor-weapon differential, my hammer should be able to disable those in a couple hits. The trick will be getting the chance to do so. At the start, come away from the edge and try to stay in a middle-radius area: not to close to the edge o...

I think these bots have faced each other before, but not in an arena like this! For the first two minutes, drive defensively, tanking hits with my shield and coming at Death Metal from the outside of the arena to hopefully make it ricochet on impact into the house robots and center flipper. ...

Downside: Tazbot-in-disguise will be hard to get underneath. Upside: this is a great arena for flippers. Be aggressive and go right for him, hoping my forks get under his forks and trying again until they do. Get under his side if I have a chance to do so. Don't really aim to flip him in any specifi...

Really nice render, and a cool design, although it looks like it could only fit enough gas to fire that flipper maybe twice. But hey, this is ARC!

It's a battle of the super brick against the super wedge! We've got identical speed and armor (not that armor matters) and he's got a little more traction and torque where I've got my lifters. The extra traction actually might be to his disadvantage, though, with that many wheels. He should ...

Wedgelet configuration, as (I hope) would be expected. Witty Name Pending has a speed and traction advantage of 2 over Solomon, which would ordinarily be pretty significant. Hammer bots have to have pretty good targeting, and that can be difficult against a speedy opponent. However, this arena negat...

I'll be using the no-shield config of course. This is going to be a tough matchup for ole Obsession, but it's not hopeless. I just need to keep facing White Lighning, and I'll have a decent chance of out-wedging it. If I can get White Lighning good and wedged, the tips of my forks should be behind i...

Be extra aggressive: go right for the nearest likely target and wedge them to push them into dangerous things, ideally while hitting them with the hammer. Keep away from hazards myself, and try not to get flanked. If the robot I'm pursuing runs away, try a different target (unless that will give the...

I'll be somewhat defensive at the start, waiting to see if anyone is coming toward me. If so, spin the turret around and get ready to hammer them as soon as they're nicely in range. If no, walk over to someone nearby, ideally a robot that's busy hammering someone else, and hammer it while it's distr...

Spin up ASAP, stay on the move, keep away from hazards to whatever extent that is possible, and get underneath and smash whoever I run into first. Basically orbit around the loop of the arena, attacking whoever I run into and hoping they get knocked into hazards, out of the arena, or out of commissi...

I'm a little late and that's all way before I was into this stuff, but it's quite a milestone! Happy anniversary!

The CBC:2 Visual Guide is now updated! Let me know if I need to make any corrections.

Pat's got a very powerful crushing weapon here, but its range is limited. It can only come down on something that's at the furthest right on the edge of its dustpan. In the case of Red Menace, this is the "Iron Curtain" ring surrounding the legs. The ring's got 10 armor, but that crusher's...

I didn't notify TBR about this ahead of time, (sorry!) but I'm using the no-shield configuration. These two robots are pretty evenly matched in driving stats: I have a slight advantage in control with my 1 extra traction, but that's probably balanced out by me being 2WD against his 4WD. We a...
