ARC

<big> Week 2 Results </big> All right, the second week is done, which really means the first round of combat. Buzzkill vs. Caldera Buzzkill immediately box rushes Caldera, getting in before the shell can reach full speed. The wedge slides under it, the disc pops it a few inches in the air, and then ...

To give some more specifics on what MadBull said: Two major flaws I notice on many of your designs are low armor and a poor speed-traction balance. A rule of thumb other users have suggested is to avoid having speed be more than 2 points higher than traction or your robot will have control issues. T...

I believe GF93 ran into this issue with Conqueror I's air suspension (see this post in his showcase thread for what I mean). Annoying Box R...

Well, well, well... We meet again, Badnik96&#33; (ominous music) Anyway: Vorpal Bunny Speed: 4, Traction: 2, Torque: 1, Armor: 7, Weapon: 16 Analysis: Rebellious Activity has an obvious advantage in terms of everything drivetrain-related, but his lifter isn't particularly threatening. He's extre...

Analysis: Bunx has a slight edge in speed and maneuverability. However, his shell isn't particularly destructive or durable. I don't think he can do much to my weapon, and the front forks can still take a few hits. On the other hand, repeated weapon-to-weapon contact has a good chance of either warp...

All right, the last of the results are up&#33; Congratulations to The_Angry_Goat and Badnik96&#33; Welp, I can't say I'm not disappointed with Ahlspiess's performance in its first match. Unfortunately, I made two major mistakes in that match. 1. I should have gone for the sides more. As it t...

Hopefully by tomorrow. The results for the missing matches were written in a way that wasn't consistent with either ARC rules, bot descriptions, or the arena. Hopefully things will be sorted out soon.

Okay, here are the first week's matches&#33; We've already gotten some good hits, some very close fights, and some not so close fights&#33; <big> Week 1 Results: </big> Pro vs Sirocco Alrighty. New season of robotic combat, with a bunch of new competitors, and a rather unique event. With new...

Try and get it in by Sunday evening so I can post results before midnight. Britespark missed the forfeit deadline anyway, though.

OI BADNIK, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REPLY TO THE THREAD OF THE FIRST PERSON TO RP, NOT POST A NEW THREAD&#33;

Quick reminder, RPs are due on Saturday, not Sunday for this tournament. You late RPers only have a day left.

ALL RIGHT LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD Ahlspiess Speed 5, Torque 2, Traction 3, Armor 8 (+1 top plate), Weapon 12 Analysis: First of all, I'm not going to use the front forks on Ahlspiess this match. Sling Shot looks very low to the ground and will probably get under me anyway. It also has a very ...

Quick housekeeping announcement: The Brackets and Fight Cards thread gives you all your fights, as well as who is assigned to write each battle. Writers, please PM results to me when matches are written, and I'll compile them in a single results thread. That's how things are normally done around the...
