A.R.C. Wk7 - Aphelion vs Slipstream

STATS:

Aphelion (forks config): 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 wedge)

Slipstream (normal config): 7/6/2/5/10

Mirror match time let's go! We're both powerful front hinged flippers, both dead even on drive. I think this is basically a race to see who can throw the other out first.

I'm going to keep things ...

A.R.C. Wk6 - Aphelion vs Dystopian Avenger

STATS:

Aphelion (forks config): 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 front wedge)

Dystopian Avenger: 6/6/6/2/10 (+1 front)

W0lf hasn't declared but both his configs have some sort of forks so it's not a huge difference.

STRATS:

Okay, wedges are about even, I'm slightly faster but DA has obscenely fast Claw Viper ...

A.R.C. Wk5 - Aphelion vs Discord

STATS:

Aphelion (forks off): 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 front wedge)

Discord: 5/3/1/15 (14 shell spinner, 1 flipper) / 6

STRATS:

Don't box rush since he may play keepaway with the flipper arm: move out aggressively but don't just charge into him.

If he's leading with the flipper, approach cautiously. Try ...

A.R.C. Wk4 - Aphelion vs Xcessive pneumatiX

STATS:

Aphelion: 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 wedge)

Xcessive pneumatiX: 7/6/2/3/12


Forks ON, Ethan said XP is using its extra side wedgelets.

STATS:
Wedge Fight? Wedge Fight.

We're dead even on drivetrain and wedgeiness. I want to try to make contact happen at an angle so if I get under his side wedgelets ...

STATS:

Aphelion (forks off): 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 front wedge)

Super Modified (wedge off): 8/7/3/0/12

STRATS:

Thwackbots are generally a pain to fight with a flipper but they can't do much offensively either. Without its wedge Super-Modified is basically an obstacle with high ground clearance and a ...

STATS:

Aphelion (forks config): 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 front wedge)

Annoying Vert Rush (anti-wedge config): 8/6/2/3/11

STRATS:

We're almost even in drivetrains, he's slightly faster but has a little less control at top speed.

Go on the attack and stay on the attack. Ram him at high speeds if possible ...

A.R.C. Wk1 - Aphelion vs Carnifex

STATS:
Aphelion: 7/6/2/4/11 (+1 front wedge and forks)

Carnifex: 5/4/1/11/9

CONFIGS: Wedgelets config please. Grimm hasn't declared but I'm guessing he'll go with his forks.

STRATEGY:
Don't box rush, but be aggressive from the start. Carnifex has static forks on a 4wd bot, so I have a solid ...

Re: ARC Provincial Forefront Trials Tournament

I'm here to reserve five spots and then never actually enter anything for four of them: I'll RP for the one robot I do enter for two weeks, after which I'll forfeit and ruin the bracket.

RFN Mini - Kamaitachi vs 10,000 Year Earworm

Normal config please.

Don't Change Color Kitty has a big spinner diameter and a wide, flat vertical front, giving it a lot of reach, but it doesn't hit very hard and has almost no wedging ability.

Spin up to about 75% (to avoid gyro) and go on the attack with the lifter down. Be aggressive but try ...

RFN Mini - Front Toward Enemy vs. Spares or Repairs

Bar config, spin clockwise, start upright.

We're both undercutters, we both have big blades, we're both slow. There's not a lot of room for nuance here. Spin up, mosey my way towards him, and go weapon-to-weapon. If Spares Or Repairs decides to start inverted, reverse my drivetrain before impact to ...

Re: RFN mini R2: God's Middle Finger vs Kamaitachi

Anti-spinner config please.

GMF has 1 traction and a massive shell: it'll probably struggle to move while spinning up at full throttle due to reaction torque. It's decently quick at full speed though. Don't count on a box rush working: instead spin up and approach cautiously, picking and choosing ...

Re: Front Towards Enemy vs TLV

Disc config please, spinning CCW.

Spin up immediately and use my strafing ability to get out of my square without waiting for the disc to get to a decent speed, start driving more "normally" once it gets going. Go the opposite direction of the wall drum, and juke my way towards the middle of the ...

Re: RFN Mini - Kamaitachi V. Neophyte Redglare

Stats:

Neophyte Redglare: 7/6/4/3 (2 lifting wedge/2 top forks) / 10 (+2 plow). Winter didn't declare but I'm assuming no ABR plow against a vert.

Kamaitachi: 5/4/1/12 (11 spinner, 1 lifter) / 8. Normal config please (lifter with light forks, spiral disc)

You know what? Box Rush. Let's ...
