FRR: Backlash - Discussion

Post by **Badnik96** » Fri Nov 13, 2015 7:26 pm

The in-line wheels on Undertow remind me of Philip's Underminer. He managed to take a championship with that bot, so it should be interesting to see how it does.

Your team is pretty cool all-around, Attackfrog. Lots of personality.

Pelican looks neat. As others have mentioned, it's a bit too long for its own good, but otherwise it's a great design. I think I tried to make something similar a while back and it turned out so terrible that I never bothered posting it anywhere. Glad to see that someone found a way to make the design work :)

Undertow's drive setup is neat as well. I can't wait to see how it performs.

Two more substitutions. Pandemonium and Nitro 2 have been swapped out for Bomber and Airtime Extreme, respectively.

What's the deadline for this? I'll want to enter but the next two weeks will be busy.

I think you'll still be fine. Ruination needs to finish first, then we're thinking of having a bit of a break before FRR kicks off.

I wouldn't expect FRR to kick off until sometime in January or early February, depending on exactly when Ruination finishes. So plan on having until sometime in the New Year to get your entries in.

The plan is to also have time to redo the CFL list in between Ruination and FRR as well, so at least a couple week break would be beneficial.

Figured I could welcome Totallynotsatan to the mix. pretty decent designs overall, but if I may give two quick suggestions; first of all, Albacore's drum is going to have issues catching anything, due to how deep into the chassis it is set, and its lack of teeth. secondly, I feel that Bulldozer's lifter is going to have issues getting under most things due to its shape. you may want to make it more plow-ey or wedge-ey. looking forewards to facing you :P

Welcome aboard, person who is definitely not Satan! As Goat said, you have some good ideas for sure. I would suggest moving some of Tank's armor points into traction, as it will be near impossible to control with its current stat spread. I learned the hard way.

Just call it "I cant believe it's not tank"

This tourney is getting crazy. So many rookies, along with some pretty cool designs as well.

I finally have some competitive(on paper) bots, and some neat designs. Realllly looking forward to Backlash.
