should probably toss in a more public thanks to Hiicantpk and Wolf 51-50 for being willing to pick up the slack from the writers who had to flake out for various reasons. Really appreciate their help.

legit surprised that redglare is winning things, wish AQ and merc could do the same

All done for this week. Here's hoping DOA can win again in particular, I really don't want it to end up becoming the one straggler after all the time spent with making and refining it.

Beating Tidal Wave is no small task I would think. It's one of the better drumbots on the forum

Yeah... I suppose in retrospect, it's more to do with bad strategy than bad design. If I try some more traditional drum strategies, hopefully that might help more.

Anyway, that's all mine up for the week. I'm seeing it either going very well, or very badly.

Bah. Damn tombsclones, it's like sometimes you can tank them enough to win, and at others, they just eat you alive.

this feels incredibly inconsistent - wolf, could you clarify how this went on. as of now it appears that either a)he hit me with the hammer while I was flipping him with the spinner, or b) I suddenly stopped attacking to make sure to be fair and give him a chance to hit me.

Winning all the other fights this week though, very satisfied with that! Got another win for DOA, amd I'm very pleasantly surprised to have won against Glitch and Endless Clowns in particular, thought I'd have been stomped by them for sure.

[/quote]Despite having the speed advantage (which wasn't really enough to drive out of harm's way every time imo as the writer), I guess I could have clarified this a bit more. There was definitely some damage taken from that weapon to weapon hit, and Glitch seemed to take the worst of it with only 8 armor on the disc. It was also enough to damage the lifter, which was now scraping on the ground a little more than it should. Basically stuck pressing, which is why it still got under consistently, but it also cost what was left of it's drivetrain advantage. So basically, you tried to get away, but Axtinguisher had enough of an opening to get that axe hit.

The Four Wheeled, Six Toothed Driving Purple Robot eater is turning into my most successful robot so far! I always hope for the best, but I didn't expect this one of all my robots to be the standout. I'm looking forward to seeing how far it can go.
