Based on where his robot's wheels are and how his flipper is assembled, I have to assume his robot will either wheelie on acceleration or constantly be tipping backwards, resting on that back chassis edge. So I have nothing to fear from just charging right at him, at least in theory. So let's give i...

he has a lot of exposed angles and such and it's going to be tricky for him to get a good grip on me considering my undercutter-ness. Let's abuse that. With only a 3 power electric flipper it'll be tough for him to beat my gyroscopic forces and invert me, and I plan to keep the disc going for as lon...

i don't have a ton of options here because he's more than likely just going to rush me down and pwn me all over the place, so i have to think tricky to pull off this upset. Immediately strafe out perpendicular to the wall while spinning in hopes of avoiding a box rush. If he does end up doing this, ...

NKC Speed: 7 Weapon: 5 Armor: 11 (+2 to the wedge) Traction: 5 Torque: 2 DA Speed: 6 Traction: 5 Torque: 1 Weapon: 11 Armour: 7 (+2 Drum OR +2 to Anti-Axe plate) Pontoon wedges on I'm going to assume he's going with the anti-axe plate in this fight, which makes things interesting. I have the speed a...

BS: Speed: 9 Weapon: 0 Armor: 10 (+2 wedge) Traction: 8 Torque: 3 IT: Speed: 16 Traction: 1 (+3 spinup) Torque: 1 Weapon: 2 Armor: 10 (+2 teeth) D2 wedge on Not a lot of complex strategy here, just keep the nose pointed at him and smother him with my speed. Watch out for him trying to do some pinbal...

NP VS: Speed: 5 Weapon: 12 Armor: 9 (+2 wedge) Traction: 3 Torque: 1 MS 16/1+5/1/2/10 (+2 teeth) Plan here is pretty simple. Angle into his spin, let him ride up into the drum and destabilize him. Being a 2wd melty he'll be prone to flipping around when he's on one wheel, so take this opportunity to...

Doomerang: Speed: 15 Weapon: 3 Armor: 10 (+1 to the thwack teeth) Traction: 1 (+5 melty-brain spinup bonus for a total of 6) Torque: 1 Sideswipe: 5 Speed / 4 Traction / 3 Torque / 5 Weapon (3 turret, 3 lifter) / 13 Armor (+1 plow/forks) This is a tricky one, but I'm feeling confident. With only 5 sp...

BS: Speed: 9 Weapon: 0 Armor: 10 (+2 wedge) Traction: 8 Torque: 3 PTS: Speed: 3 / Traction: 2 / Torque: 1 / Weapon: 15 / Armor: 9 D2 wedge on. His weapon's kinda high up, and even with those tiny wedgelets at the front he's not going to be able to do much with them. I outpush him by a large margin a...

Pontoon wedge with lifter on I'm gonna come right at him, balls to the wall, trying to line up my pontoons with his drums so I can get underneath early. From there, get under, raise the lifter, pin him against the wall and saw down for as long as possible. With 6 armor vs 5 saw it shouldn't last lon...

get well soon Cassie

ROBOT3 week 3 The first set of results will be out for week 2 in a bit, but in the meantime, have a fight card! The following robots need to declare their configurations every week. things like wedge teeth and small removables COUNT towards what you have to declare. failure to properly declare (via...

Doomerang 13/3/1/3/10(+1 teeth) Night Jackal 4/2/1/16/7 At first glance, this looks catastrophic for me. However I'm optimistic. Let's see how this goes. The first thing I notice about Night Jackal is that its bar rests flat on the ground. There's no spacer or bearing or anything underneath the blad...

NKC Speed: 7 Weapon: 5 Armor: 11 (+2 to the wedge) Traction: 5 Torque: 2 DF 3/1/1/16/9 big boy armor scoop for this one. She can't do a ton of damage to the front scoop, and I have the drivetrain to really smother her, so I'm not even going to bother using the saw because it'll probably be taken off...

BS: Speed: 9 Weapon: 0 Armor: 10 (+2 wedge) Traction: 8 Torque: 3 Beaned: theres a lot of numbers here and i'm low on time so fuck you Forks with hammer blocker, please Well this is a fun opponent. No doubt Maxi has some crazy ass strategy he plans on using to try and win this fight, especially with...
