I wasn't overly taken with the ginger one up close. I can confirm she doesn't smell of piss tough.

Carbide looking unstoppable again.

I am a little disappointed that Gabriel didn't win, it was a good design, but not good enough. If flails/entaglement have only just been allowed, maybe they will get better, haven't had enough time to learn and improve them. The wheels on Garbriel I assume are easily replaced, so it's no big thing to get them damaged of they still work.

I think that vertical spinners will be eventually banned or nerfed, due to increasing damage to arena. Hope not.

I ffwd through most of it and just watched the fights.

[Rogerborg]

Gabriel's never going to win, but that's not why it's there. It's to be as difficult as possible to win against. It does a splendid job of that, and I'm glad it's there to throw monsters like Carbide a googly.

they can win though, but it needs a dose of luck with a side order of bad driving

I'm looking forward to that most of all.

Also, I want to see someone hurt a house robot on purpose, not seen that for a while.

[Polarbear]

Who was it who went after the house robots and caused utter carnage, flipping them over?

Im a bit meh about it tbh. Some robots seem to get in and just.. do nothing... i mean what a waste of time cluster bots are. Gemini was inventive but useless back in the day... now whats the point in 4 tiny robots getting no impact done..

I am also liking the idea of spinner jammers, though why gabriel didnt use some sort of metallic string rather than plastic is that maybe not allowed?

+1 also to the house robots being a bit shit. shunt used to cause havoc, the cpz's are a bit of a waste.

Maybe not enough people are making good robots, it is an expesive hobby after all... Im glad apollo got knocked down they were a bit smug tbh, even if it is at the expense of the sore loser.

I'd love to see another Razer or something similar, but the bar spinners which can take a considerable hit are hard to beat - the only way to beat them is some sort of high impact counter offensive weapon, whereby the bar hits it and the impact shocks the robots (or some spinner jammer).

If clusters are allowed physical tethers, that could work to stop a spinner. 2 tied together goading, 2 loose hassling. Might just work.

[Rogue_Shadow]

[thx1138]

maybe a walker? They are allowed to be heavier

[P.]

Anyone else watch this weekends?

That fucking spinning weapon of death.

All in all, Rapid team are fucking jumped up 'anyone who can beat us can work for us' go fuck yourself

All in all, fantastic, I want to build one now

[thx1138]

I saw it, it was good.

I should imagine there will be some rule changes, and some re-enforcements to the arena for next year, the battering that it's taking.,

It's probably for the best that they didn't test it at home, I don't suppose many people have a "bullet proof" arena at home to play in.

The nut that held the spinner on seemed to come off, silly way to go really, seems a simple split pin might have saved them from self destruction!
