Touro Maximus vs. Whoops! - RoboGames 2017

I wish robot combat was more popular. The engineering that goes into these bots is absolutely amazing. I wonder what keeps this from becoming more main stream?

My little brother asked me why they had to use bulletproof glass on the arenas. I told him it was to keep 220-pound projectiles from hurling into your face. I then proceeded to show him this video. I think this video explained it for him.

Touro Maximus has a really powerful weapon and DRIVE TRAIN.

So basically, if you're trying to to fight Touro with push, you'll die. Not to mention the deadly drum that he has XO This comment contains spoilers actually XP. Whoops is a push bot so.... Prayers? I guess ^. ^ Facts verse presents....

[@TF1Akrata]

Whoops is a weaponless bot. I always enjoy seeing the weaponless bots ripped to shreds.

[@datguy8805]

TF1Akrata tazers and tazer like weapons are not allowed

[@econecoff1725]

Why does the plow have notches on it? Seems that's a fatal mistake; gives leverage spots to spinner blade.

[@SINTD_666]

Econ Ecoff If I remember correctly, robots without an active weapon were banned at one time because they weren’t very entertaining to watch. I believe that the plough can also lift (that’s certainly the case in later versions of the same robot). Although the robot is predominantly a pusher, the small amount of lift that the plough can give is often enough to get some of the opponents drive wheels off of the floor. Less wheels on the floor means less traction and/or less steering capability. This is a huge advantage to a pusher bot. Obviously there’s a huge down side to to fork bits and you pointed that out perfectly.

Duck vs minotaur

[@LaveaFirmis]

Can you imagine how boring a fight like Whoops v Whoops would be. Two boxes bumping into each other doing nothing for minutes on end. So good to see boring bots like Whoops loose to interesting bots like Touro. I wish you HAD to have an effective weapon to enter. Duck is just as bad. Whoops can't really win anything its dependant on the other bot losing which is super lame.

[@howlongismydesign]

Whoops is dependent on the impact of it hitting the other robot. If a spinner hits something too hard, it hurts the spinner which is what whoops' main strategy is.

[@LaveaFirmis]

@@howlongismydesign Exactly its dependant on the other guy losing. A bot should able to attack as well which makes it a much more interesting and actually effective. Like Bigger Brother from robot wars. Two bigger brothers up against each other would be a good fight, two whoops would be boring. Even though Whoops has a clever strategy for a bot in theory it's like winning a sword fight by waiting for the other guy to die of old age rather than by ability. Not very chivalrous

[@Crosshair84]

The NERC 30 pound "Sportsman" Class requires that robots have an active weapon. KE spinners are also banned. (Sawblades are not considered KE spinners.) It has some quite interesting designs and good fights.

[@azharaziz6011]

Minotor vs DUCK

[@TiberianFiend]

Those robots cost more than that whole crappy battle box.

[@econecoff1725]

W should have rammed TM at full speed. Tapping spinners won't do it. You have to make them fly via their own power to have a chance. Otherwise, they'll just grind you down bit by bit. Ramming is hard on your own bot, but if want to win against spinners, there's little other choice other than hope their batteries fry or spinner jams, but that's only gives you about a 10% chance of victory. (Their spinner dying doesn't guarantee you a victory alone.) Ram or lose.

[@ryanguo9300]

Touro's drum is super tough.

[@econecoff1725]

Ryan, If you ram 2 bots together quick, something is going to break on at least one fairly soon, even if it's not the main weapon. A spin bot has more things to break than a ram-bot, giving the ram-bot better odds. And the ram-bot has more room to pad its guts because it has no weapon to wire up.

[@ryanguo9300]

True

[@RySenkari]

And ABC thinks all bots without active weapons are boring. This was better than 95% of the fights on the new Battlebots.

[@datguy8805]

They want to bring in the wwe sort of crowd, and it typically leads to more consistantly entertaining fights which is what they chose instead of having the occasional chance of having static wedge vs static wedge.

[@Parallaxus]

They ARE! Wedge bots consistently win against non-wedge bots, which, if you allow robots with just good wedges on them, leads to a system of JUST wedgebots. Do you have any idea how boring it is to just watch two bots with no weapons push each other, much less all of the bots in the tournament be those push bots?

[@datguy8805]

Parallaxus fun fact, its not just wedge bots. And to me its boring if the wedges are slow or theyre unskilled. and no it doesnt, if thats the case original sins record would be completely flawless, as it has one of if not the best driver of all time. Also there should be an active weapon rule on tv, its tv, i understand that, but the season 2 rules leave only spinners as things that kill spinners (bots like sewer snake/stinger and beta being the only exceptions) lose because shoving, and if they lose their weapon they better hope that the opponents weapon doesnt touch them for most of the fight, or they lose.

[@foolishevil]

It was only good because of the bot with the active weapon lol

[@nfsfanAndrew]

foolishevil exactly. Which bot did the entertaining? The active weapon bot chucking the static one. Yet people still argue for wedge bots.
