It might just be me, but I think Fish's win percentage is hilarious.

Oh sweet, thanks. I actually requested Josh to update the Redemption rankings the other week so that I could put them on the website. This should make his job a lot easier though. =P

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Just to bring this up, could anybody explain to me what the benefit of more than four wheels on a robot would offer apart from screwing your turning speed?

well, in real life its obviously traction. and the turning thing that everyone likes to bring up in these fantasy leagues is WAY out of proportion. seriously, youtube some war machine(10 small wheels) or new cruelty(8 big wheels), and watch them turn hardly an issue. war machine turns just as fast as any other 4+ wheeled bot, and new cruelty has a slight bit of lag because of the width of his tires(lots of grip). i believe that part of the thought is that there is a lesser chance of bottoming out because of break over angle too(since there is a set or 2 at the break over angle(center of the bot). this could help drive off of a part of the arena or even another robot instead of getting stuck on them with 1 set or even no wheels on the ground.

if there was one thing i would like to change here, its the damn turning speed of robots with lots of wheels(totally not defending my old designs either, since they were pretty much just screwing around). simply put, any robot with any reasonable amount of speed can turn fast enough to not get raped every time the opponent is like 6 feet from its side(again, i reference the war machine and new cruelty fights).

It depends on the torque of said robot. I made a mock-up bot using tamiya gearboxes and it turned like shit, actually made the motors hotter than hell. But I'm sure it would have turned better if I had better motors.

well yea. i mean, if your gonna design a bot like that, i think its safe to say that you have the correct drivetrain to power it(for example: your tamiya bot obviously didn't have the correct drivetrain, lol).
