Xelkelvos posted:Lol at that projectile. Point blank and does nothing. Did the guys who made this not finish Newtonian physics? I mean someone please correct me if I'm speaking out of my rear end here but just off the top off my head from what I remember of physics: 1. The slug is too large and for some reason flat (???), making it impossible for it to penetrate anything that's even remotely as sturdy as itself since the force of the slug will get spread out upon impact. 2. While the slug is significantly heavy, it doesn't even come close to the weight of whatever it's going to hit. Meaning it has to hit with a tremendous force to actually cause any internal damage and not just recoil immediately as the force rebounds and bounces off the slug harmlessly. 3. The height of the barrel, why is the firing mechanism made to fire from an elevated position that almost guarantees that the slug will hit at an awkward angle and bounce off. I mean we saw 1 & 2 in action right here. The slug didn't even dent the metal and bounced the hell away since the slug didn't have enough force to significantly move the very heavy and forward-pushing bot. And that was without 3 even coming into effect. Like what was plan A here.

I think it was meant to strike the more fragile mechanisms of an opposing bot’s primary weapon rather than any of the armor. Also, I imagine it could only be so strong and shaped that way for safety reasons.

Didn't Hypershock have a self-righting mechanism before? That's what the fly-swatting rake was attached to last time I think.

I mean someone please correct me if I'm speaking out of my rear end here but just off the top off my head from what I remember of physics: The short answer is safety. They can't risk anything that would penetrate through the box. I looked at the numbers and it should have around 8KJ of energy, so around 4 times more than an assualt rife, 16 times more than a 9mm handgun and less than half of a BMG anti-material round. They should have just aimed for one of the minibots.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:It looked like it had absolutely zero impact on Gamma Nine but managed to put a pretty decent dent in their own bot on the ricochet I just saw the AMA with the team on reddit, apparently they did do some damage to Gamma 9: quote:Our cannon is rated for 3600 PSI but we were operating at 1000 PSI for a variety of reasons (including safety and reliability). I wish they were doing a Science Channel "Botopsy Report" for this episode so viewers could see just how much damage we did to Gamma 9. We bent the internal frames, broke the welds, and disabled the hydraulic crusher. But hitting the most heavily armored part of one of the biggest bots in the competition was not optimal. Also hitting point-blank on Gamma 9's solid front panel was not optimal. There are other bots out there against which I think the cannon would show its full potential, and you'll have to keep watching this season to find out!

Pakled posted:lol were Hypershock's batteries not attached to the chassis by anything other than the wires They generally aren't. A frame rail and the top /bottom cover are holding them in place, sometimes with some foam to prevent them from sliding around in big hits. Tombstone and UltraViolent have had the same thing happen.

It has full episodes on YouKu, the Chinese equivalent to YouTube.

I'm a casual fan but this season is the best yet. My wife is usually indifferent to everything on tv but she's really getting into this season and yelling during the matches, it's kind of funny actually.

Cutting back on the fluff and having five fights per episode instead of four is great.

Something makes me really happy seeing the extreme showmanship teams bot fall apart after 2 hits. Like maybe you should have been working on your bot instead of finding matching outfits to wear?

Finally getting around to watching King of Bots and I really appreciate how aggressive they are with the hazards compared to Battlebots. I also like their screw replacement better. The walls are trash though and the smokescreen is kinda dumb.

Hazards were best at the middle weight division. The lightweights all get one-shotted by everything and it doesn't even scratch the heavyweights.
