The first round pairings were already filled it, but after that there were columns of empty boxes going all the way to the grand final, and you had to fill in the pairings and winners as the competition progressed. Good times!

So, here's the first heat of the Fourth Wars. My apologies for the slight delay, but I've been experimenting with 16:9 aspect ratio for videos, and only Movie Studio Platinum seems to be a reliable source of being able to convert the file into that size, followed by very, very slow render times (i.e. 2 hours for a 15 minute section). If anybody has any tips on either another programme that can make videos 16:9 or simply have any tips on making Movie Studio's rendering times quicker, then feel free to give me advice. I'm a bit of a novice on both in the aforementioned areas afterall. Also, feel free to tell me if you actually like the aspect ratio like this. H2 - the channel which broadcast the repeats - broadcast the show in 4:3, just as a side note, so that would be the default upload size if not. Also, the random black pauses for a second or two are where H2 cut off for an advert break. Yes, they were very incompetent in that regard, because they tended to cut off the last part of an interview that Julia was carrying out.

I'm a guy with way too much time on his hands. That's why I've taken the time to redo the seeding for series 4. I love the 32 seed structure, but how robots were seeding in this war, was a bit dumb. So below this comment I'll lay down a few ground rules, then present what I think the seeding for S4 should've looked like...
@mansamutd3 жыл бұрын
Okay, first of all, I am NOT taking any international robot wars into account, this is based solely of the robots performance in series 3. I WILL however, take into account, the 1st world championship and to a certain extent, the robots experience. 1 final ground rule. If a robot exited series 3 in ROUND 1, they WILL NOT BE SEEDED. Stinger, Plunderbird, Killerhurtz. Yes, Killerhurtz did great v Choas 2 in the world championship, but that was still ROUND 1 there too. Enough rambling, onto my seeding.

Atomic had quite an eventful run during the Robot Mayhem qualifiers prior to its TV appearance. It won its first fight against fellow debutant Reactor, involving several flips and self-righting rollovers before Atomic managed to toss Reactor over the arena wall, which the team claimed what happened. I find that hard to believe, judging by Reactor's awkward shape and the amount of force in Atomic's flip on King B3, followed by the breaking of the lifter which from a first glance looked a bit fragile. Plus the OOTA rule was apparently banned in the qualifiers, but Atomic still advanced to the 4th wars based on the strength of that performance. Regardless, Atomic had a second fight, this time with NataPataBot (AKA Short Circuit, future Series 6 competitor). Atomic surprisingly had mobility issues and took a dive into the pit, but not before getting its polycarbonate side panels punctured by the opponent. Those panels were to be removed anyway for Atomic to keep within the weight limit. Not a bad first attempt by the way.

I remember reading through either an early issue of RW magazine or a RW Club newsletter around that period. There were brief articles about Matilda planning to have the chainsaw changed for a flywheel in time for the 4th wars. However, Refbot's design and construction became the main priority, and so Matilda's upgrade had to be put aside for a year.
so how regular will the forth wars episodes be uploaded?

The quality is great as always however it does look a little blury and I think that's due to something else I've noticed. In the top corner you can see text which appears to be cut off, meaning that it's possibly cropped the original version when you changed it to the 16:9 resolution in Movie Studio Platinum. Maybe do a test with with the aspect ration you used for Series 7 because it looked just as good even with the black bars. And keep em coming too!
@njgw14658 жыл бұрын
The text being cut off is actually to do with H2 - it overlapped onto the black borders. I just manually cropped out all of the black borders as apposed to simply making it 16:9. For the next episode, I'll simply upload the H2 version and we'll see how people like it. I can always upload Heat A/B into the format that people prefer afterwards
@ETXellen8 жыл бұрын
