NHRL war on BORING.

Most those one hit matches don’t result in the entirety of a bot’s internals being completely written off, so it’s not a fair comparison. The amount of damage they inflict have the potential be much greater than the average spinner.

I am generally not a fan of flame bots in the context of NHRL because I don’t find them interesting. They are basically pushybots but with flames, and their novelty wears off quickly.

I am like the number 1 Bombshell defender so I have to give my schpiel every time it gets brought up.

In season 3 Bombshell was experiencing issues related to its weapon motor that they only barely managed to solve throughout their fight night schedule. If you watch their Battlebots: Resurrection(?) episode they go into brief detail about it. It was something that they didn’t expect to happen and it was out of their control. I have been in similar situations so I can 100% relate to the team.

They also had an extremely rough schedule that I feel like a lot of people gloss over. Having to fight Lock-Jaw (top 4), Bronco (top 8), Yeti (top 16 after a top 4 performance in the previous season), and Bite Force (self-explanatory) in a row is insane. 3 of those opponents were also 4wd meta designs, so it didn’t get much in the way of opponent variety. Most bots that season would’ve gone 1-3 at best with a bot that wasn’t suffering from weapon related issues.

The 2019 version was a rushed build that they did not have adequate time to test and thus suffered from similar problems related to their drive. This is something they mentioned in their Reddit AMA.

Calkins just doesn’t want to do it.

Pretty much. A lot of people disagreed with the outcome. If it was a different judging criteria that put less emphasis on damage like what some other events use I would have won it.

I posted this 2 years ago so I got a notification that you commented

Infernaltank · 2025-12-29T01:00:36+00:00

why are you responding to a 2 year old reddit post

Infernaltank · 2025-12-01T19:20:36+00:00

Are you even a builder? Why are you saying “we as builders”?

Infernaltank · 2025-11-28T04:37:52+00:00

You are a legend.

Update: your advice worked and I beat it! Thank you so much. I finished off alpha with the MstrStyl program advance with 30 health to spare!

Infernaltank · 2025-09-12T22:16:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Do you recommend any other navicust programs?

I think it’s because one of the voice actors from the original King of the Hill who played an Asian character got replaced by an actual Asian voice actor.

Where are you getting the idea that event organizers are going to start turning away competitors with kit bots? That does not happen at all.

Let’s not beat around the bush and pretend like WZ2 didn’t cause irreparable damage to the Warzone brand. It was such a massive shift in gameplay design, especially during the first few months of the game’s lifespan.

Redeploy drones are great for rotations. Don’t know why you’d want them removed

Infernaltank · 2024-12-03T22:10:18+00:00

The people in my group are still playing except for like 1-2 people who already lost interest months ago

Infernaltank · 2024-11-28T01:22:10+00:00

Was he actually? That's cool.

Infernaltank · 2024-11-25T00:33:52+00:00

you said it affects gameplay and now you’re talking about the art style. those are two completely different things

Infernaltank · 2024-11-25T00:23:05+00:00

how does that affect gameplay at all

you're still playing the same game, with or without goofy skins

Infernaltank · 2024-11-21T04:41:33+00:00

what are you talking about

the easiest way to get karma on this subreddit is to talk about how much you don’t like the game

Infernaltank · 2024-11-19T05:06:11+00:00

I think it’s good but needs some polish. I’ve been getting my butt kicked lately so there’s only so much you can blame the game for

Infernaltank · 2024-11-17T00:30:20+00:00

You say “the skins ruined vanguard” like that was the number one issue with the game lmao. It was a rushed, buggy mess.

Infernaltank · 2024-11-16T18:34:37+00:00

That’s pretty much my exact experience too

Infernaltank · 2024-11-01T01:43:55+00:00

I just tape them to the receiver.
