RoBattle LW Week 3 Pitball Megathread
So we can start anywhere we want along the floor edge, can we? :D In that case, Override will start directly beside and facing Endless Clowns. Once the Pitball reaches the center, I will fire up the saw and attack the shit out of Gabe. Attack him relentlessly and continuously, maybe chewing up his wheels and tires, compromising his mobility on the floor and ability to climb the outer incline, but mostly to try and distract him from the actual objective of the event.
Speaking of, once Gabe's no longer involved, I'll extend my saw arm out the back of the machine, reverse into the Pitball and stick the saw arm through the wireframe. Raise the saw arm overhead to get a good enough hold on the Pitball, then drive both it and myself over the top of the incline with my treaded wheels and massive ground clearance. My saw arm should keep a hold of the Pitball even if I'm attacked by the others.
Good luck!

going with the Speed: 7 / Traction: 5 / Torque: 1 / Weapon: 8 (spinner) / Weapon: 4 (lifters) / armor: 6 stat line, normal wheels (with the speed of the spinner lowered to 7)
"No lobbing the ball!"
my weapon still has 7 power. Imma still lob the ball :td:
no but like really. get it onto the wedge and thwack it over the edge. this ball's too big for my soccer config, unfortunately (when I designed for this I thought both balls were the same size :V), so this is my best shot. if anyone else is getting close to succeeding, smack 'em with the spinner to make them think twice about trying to accomplish the objective of this game :V
