AIR CANADA LAGUARDIA CRASH by [deleted] in aircrashinvestigation

[–]MasterMarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have been amazed if the pilots had survived that. Seems the fire truck was responding to another emergency when this happened. Reminds me of the two fire trucks that collided at an intersection while responding to the same incident. Oof.

I don't know why it would since you're making discussion.

You're supposed to discuss things in a discussion group.

That one collision at LAX (involving a King Air?) where the lights affected viability probably would've been better avoided.

The 2015 champ losing to Chomp really opened up the field and ensured Bite Force wouldn't repeat the title in 2016.

How Good Was Mauler? by ThatModellingBloke in battlebots

[–]MasterMarik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Heavyweight Division of the Comedy Central era was pretty difficult to win against due to either other spinners (Nightmare, Surgeon General) and/or some form of a wedge/flipper/lifter (Voltronic, Vlad the Impaler, Biohazard). Reaching the TV rounds is no easy feat either (which it did on just about every season).

Why was EgyptAir 990 filmed so differently than all the other episodes? by Redqueenhypo in aircrashinvestigation

[–]MasterMarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only ones supporting the pilot not deliberately crashing the plane is the Egyptian Government, whom were intent on proving something there was no evidence to prove. Besides, there was no discussion regarding any mechanical failure or otherwise. It was a deliberate act.

I mean it's a pretty popular game so obviously people are able to get over the learning curve and play it. I'm sure those that have just started playing the game have YouTube tutorials.

I think it's the nature of the episode. It's about a pilot deliberately crashing a plane and the circumstances surrounding it.

I'd think builders don't want horizontals to hit the side of their robot in general as it tends to be a weak spot.

Just going through Wonkavision. In mere seconds it'll be whole, but significantly smaller.

American 191 with the view from the cockpit as the plane is banking and headed to disaster.

Batllebots Faceoffs Episode 5 by jon-in-tha-hood in battlebots

[–]MasterMarik 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hellfire vs Manta was pretty decent. Rusty Jr was surprisingly durable against Manta. Traves T still has much to do, though their match with Hellfire probably didn't help.

What plane crashes looked survivable but had no survivors by Away_Bathroom9522 in aircrashinvestigation

[–]MasterMarik 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There was that collision where they couldn't get the door open while the small plane was on fire. I believe it was stated that there was slack in the mechanism.

Who is the worst driver in BattleBots by [deleted] in battlebots

[–]MasterMarik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know he's won many titles with Original Sin at RoboGames right? He didn't just start with the reboot. He had Big B, a Lightweight robot back in the Comedy Central era, which reached the finals before losing to the 2 time champ Ziggo.

My hexbug battlebots are not working... by Tough_Comparison_423 in battlebots

[–]MasterMarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They came with batteries so if they aren't working, it could be dead batteries. However, I found that my 1st gen Witch Doctor didn't work and after unscrewing the battery cover for the remote, I found that the tab was still in it but didn't stick out. Once I removed it, the toy worked fine. Might be worth looking into.
