Power Ratings: Week 6


1. Team Ignition
A little bit of a setback this week, but the losses in LW and SHW were really close and probably shouldn

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

8th? I suppose that's what I get for trying to be interesting and have fun rather than win. =P

How can I be fielding a pretty similar team when my MW and SHW are completely different and objectively better than what I had last time? Riddle me that one.

MW is still Stingray, it's just been upgraded. Hence "similar" not "same". 3 out of 4 bots returning and SHW being another gimmicky horizontal spinner definetly fits under the similar umbrella.

Ohoho, predicted Third? I'm liking the look of that, most definitely! :P

I'm feeling pretty good about my 'gimmicky' spinner's chances. I suspect the walker bonus will have to be lowered to 3 or 4 after this season.... 6 may be too much.

I suppose that is true. Anarchy did reasonably well, but I think the lack of traction compared to some of the pushier wheeled machines, and slower turning has generally held them back, despite the added weight bonus they're allowed.

Even still though, everyone loves a good walker- I've been contemplating making one for here myself, actually. :P

I've been thinking of a walkerbot using a Klaan linkage for the legs, but I'm not entirely certain about where it would be legal or not. It doesn't seem to be too different from No Apologies III or whatever the transparent walkerbot was called. I think it had a hammer.
