Full body spinners seem like the trilobites of battlebots at this point: something that flourished in prehistory, has no place in the modern ecosystem, but would still be neat to see

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah if by some crazy coincidence it had've worked it would have been one for the history books but there's only one bot that can precisely snipe a vital chain using an overhead weapon, and Awakened Chomp isn't in this season.

someone on reddit is running an ELO ranking on battlebots https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTU5VncbtsiSlUOxnNsJfgSOxIjQduW1X0sgGbAlEDnjKB4y4avMgTBmAeFg-On7Gbs9qoHnl-qhvsM/pubhtml Bite force is the strongest with a power level over 2000, the worst is Axe Backwards (neither of which are in this season) Second strongest is Witch Doctor, second worst is Kraken (which is only narrowly worse than captain shredderator) Historically, Rusty has had a better track record than 30 other bots.

PostNouveau posted:Didn't a bunch of teams adopt a lot of Duck's internal engineering? Is it fair to say Duck is one of the reasons every bot is so tough these days? Mostly its that there was a bad batch of motor drivers a few years back which made every bot that used them liable to halt and catch fire

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I always get the impression that Huge's giant floppy wheels make it difficult to steer and the best it can do is to vaguely point in the right direction and blunder forwards, if they were able to aim it better and make it move forwards and retreat precisely so they could accurately attack specific sections of their opponents it'd be a real monster. But of course that's the trade off in having nigh-indestructible giant wheels Huge definitely has gotten better at precision driving in this tourny compared to previous ones, i suspect both design and experience contributed to that.

rarbatrol posted:My take on the finals fight was... can't Huge spin their weapon both directions? I guess they'd need the correct type of bar to do that, but after hitting Sawblaze's plow once or twice I'd be thinking about an overhead attack. Don't they do that whenever they reverse directions?

Make a gradual slope of a couple degrees which would make forks incovenient, and end it as a big ramp so you can push bots off the end then jump over them
