Robot Wars was also quite a long time ago and general expertise has increased outside of just a few top competitors. High-energy spinning designs need to be built to a higher standard to remain steadfast through multiple fights.

MiddleOne posted: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: 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!

I always thought AI control would suit the House Robots in Robot Wars.

Driving towards the opponent with a slab of high quality metal seems to be the most reliable way of dealing with spinners, there's a good chance their weapon drive will fail before the mounting for your metal slab. Subzero's didn't seem optimally attached tho, particularly against hits coming in at an angle.Nissin Cup Nudist posted:e: How the gently caress is this a split decision the what are you smoking Naomi Probably because the other bot was beginning to break down. I feel like on a long enough timeline Chomp would win against almost anyone.

Watching Spectre from King of Bots makes me think they really should crank up the wall hazards a touch in the Battlebots arena. Would also be relevant for when someone loses their main weapon like the Scorpius fight.

They should have have pushed more bots into Megabyte.

I appreciate Bombshell clawing in to remove Tombstone from the competition then quickly signing out. Bit of a chuckle.
