Antweight Tournament: "Cheesecake" takes first place!

[@Term-0]

"I stand corrected... said the man that got orthopedic shoes" lol.

Props to the fight commentator! (especially during the "Jordan vs. Cheesecake" fight.) I feel like everybody forgets a bot's weapons at least once, especially considering the amount of tinkering that occurs between events. 😆

[@Eldormen]

then you get into a pushing contest, you mostly do that for drive control and aggression points right?

[@alexsalchemy]

Yep, it shows that you're still initiating the interactions with your opponent, and that your robot is driving better than your opponent.

Cheesecake's record (as of video) 7(6)-2(2)

[@JeffreyAllanBackowski]

Could've let the kid hit you a couple times, let him think he's winning, not "Sorry kid, one speed, DEATH!".

[@piratier4246]

So we're dealing with a miniature depth charge

[@boneshakerjake]

for some of these matches just play ballroom music

[@alexsalchemy]

Yeah, I've tried to put more commentary over some of the boring parts of my later matches. Realistically I should just fast forward through some of them, haha.

[@boneshakerjake]

@@alexsalchemy I was mainly making a joke about the movement just spinning around eachother.

[@alexsalchemy]

@@boneshakerjake Well you're more right than you think, haha.

[@spearshaker7974]

Whatever your paying that commentator it’s not enough.

[@ozzynursery]

Me seen all your vids all good 👍

Random Andre Nickatina lyric from the commentator

[@norleyrobbie]

what do u win apart from a trophy?

[@alexsalchemy]

Honor for myself and my ancestors. Oh, and sometimes a moderate gift card to one of the online stores that sells robot parts. Doesn't quite cover the total destruction bill, but it's nice.

[@norleyrobbie]

@@alexsalchemy thats cool

[@norleyrobbie]

@@alexsalchemy i am thinking that i want to build a bot now but i dont know where to start getting pieces or actually designing it:)

[@alexsalchemy]

Well, I'd start by thinking about what kind of robot you'd like to drive and fight with. It could have a spinning weapon, it could have a lifter or flipper arm, or it could just be a beefy wedge bot that tanks hits and pushes opponents around. Once you've decided roughly what type of robot you want, you can think about more specific desired features like how well it might drive or how much damage it might be able to do. Once you have a good idea of what the robot would look like, you can buy parts from vendors like Fingertech, ITgresa, or Palm Beach Bots, and design your robot around those parts (motors, batteries, etc.)

@@alexsalchemyKnow this is pretty old but they should’ve given you a slice of Cheesecake smh my head.
