Robots 4 Week 1 Sportsmanweight: Multiply and Surrender vs ACME Chomper Bot

Post by British-Robotics » Sat Jun 06, 2020 6:44 am

M&S has an innefective hammer that will not damage ACME's armour, the tracks on M&S could potentially slip off due to his ridiuclous torque power and speed. I'll raise my weapon from the start and act it as a clamper, I want to target the tracks on M&S and use my wedglets to my advantage.

If I manage to get under the side of M&S quickly close the clamping weapon enough to cease one of the tank threads to stop moving when clamped, send M&S to the purple hazard as quick as possible to damage the tank threads and the armour.

If however I cannot clamp M&S then I'll make my weapon act as a lifter and try to flip him inverted, if that happens, leave the weapon open, close down quickly before my opponent self rights and clamp.

My armour should be able to deal the hazard damage without any problems

I'll need to stay away from the arena walls to avoid getting pinned or getting beached.

Good luck and may the best robot win :).

Multiply and Surrender: 7/7/7/5(3/3/3)/4 main config
ACME: 8/7/3/3/9
I will start by saying that in ARC it is assumed that everyone is competent enough to make a bot that works and won't fall apart on its own, basically i am saying that even with the 4 armor i should survive just fine if i don't take hits. The self damage i do to myself is negligible and my opponent only has a 3 point lifter. The only thing that can damage me is the spiny hazard, the thing only does 5 damage so i should be able to tank at least one hit per tread before breaking something even with all the bonus damage against treads.
Anyways for the strat, he is slightly faster but i have a bit better control. If i get under his torque halves to 1.5, i don't have that issue, and i have a massive torque advantage giving me effectively instant acceleration. If i get under he won't be able to back off as i push him at nearly his top speed, even if he could get to a higher speed it will take a bit too much time to get there. If he clamps me i will still be able to push him with no problems.
Stay away from the spiny hazard and approach him, if he has his weapon up just charge in, no mater what happens i will push him and slam him against a wall, pin him there while attacking with the hammer. Do the entire thing with fire of course.
If he has the weapon down make a more slow approach, try to see if i can angle in or at engage at a slower pace to see if i get under so i can back off if i fail to get under, if i do get under just ram him against a wall. If this doesn't work then just charge at him anyways, if he gets under he will become a ramp and i can try again.
If i get flipped prioritize self righting over repositioning myself.
Stay away from the hazard, never push him in that direction.
