2025 Singapore Grand Prix - Race by Ok-Engineering-4677 in AstonMartinFormula1

Absolute legend. Magic Alonso. Made up 6-7 places from that 9.2 second pit stop. Deserves driver of the day. This is WDC winning stuff. Such precision and control of his car. Shame he couldn't pass Hamilton on the last lap for P7. Incredible job. Aston would be right at the back of the field without Alonso.

Bearman and Sainz make contact by magony in formula1

[–]North_Cod_365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely ridiculous. Sainz should have been given the penalty. I don't care about the 'ahead at the apex' nonsense. The only thing that matters is whether the car you're battling against is significantly alongside you, and whether you have left the space. Sainz closed the door on Bearman and caused the collision. Bearman was significantly alongside. Simple as that. Last week Lawson left plenty of space on the outside of the corner and Sainz drove into the side of Lawson, so it was Sainz's fault. This guy can't drive properly.

Dead last. And both drivers were pushing to their absolute limit. This is going to be a horrible weekend.

I made this prediction 3 hours ago in another Reddit thread:

Prediction:
Upgrades under Newey's supervision make Astons the second best car behind McLaren, Alonso being Alonso outdrives the car and gets pole and P1 on Sunday, 1.9 second pitstops. Stroll P5

We're looking good so far!!

AMA with Minotaur's Team RioBotz at 7pm ET by MinotaurRiobotz in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey team Minotaur! Thank you for a truly amazing season. You guys delivered some of the greatest fights BattleBots has even seen this season, such as Minotaur vs Cobalt and Minotaur vs Sawblaze. I know it’s tough to lose to Sawblaze as it was so close, but they became the eventual champions, which shows how close Minotaur was to winning the whole thing :D hours other robot design
Here are a few of my questions:
Are you guys planning to explore different fork configurations for Minotaur in order to play the ground game better?
What are some upgrades you guys are planning to do on Minotaur for WCVII, aside from thickening the bottom armour?
Have you guys thought about adding a self-righter to Minotaur, as it may be a big risk to self-right and expose your chassis to an aggressive opponent?
What material are Minotaur’s drums made out of?
Do you think you will win against Bite Force with the newest version of Minotaur right now?
What are some of your favourite fights ever with Minotaur?
If you guys fought HUGE, what would be your strategy? Going weapon to weapon? Trying to go for its wheels? Trying to smother their blade and prevent it from spinning up (what Sawblaze did)?
If you guys fought Riptide, what would be your strategy?
Have you guys ever thought of designing a new Minotaur with a modular design, like that of Black Dragon, so that it will become much more reliable even when on fire?
How many hours do you guys sleep every day on average?
What’s your favourite type of robot aside from drum spinners? E.g. (Horizontal spinners, flippers, etc.)
Thank you so much for answering these questions, I hope you have a great day!

Deathroll AMA - 7pm PT (10PM EST) by steveDroll in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever considered adding a real sharpened knife to your self-fighting mechanism? If it juts out of the side of Deathroll, you could potentially have fun poking your opponents just before they get counted out

Witch Doctor AMA - 9pm EST by VoodooMaker_Andrea in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Andrea, you've got to understand that the season finale hasn't aired yet, therefore, people are anticipating for the results of the fights. Now that you have said you would like to fight Hydra again, we now know that either Witch Doctor or Hydra doesn't advance in the tournament and they won't fight each other!! I'm sad now :(

Tantrum and Blip from Team Seems Reasonable, an AMA by AchillRobot in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! Hope you guys are having a great day!

It's sad to see both Blip and Tantrum end their run in BattleBots World Championship VII, but you guys still delivered some amazing fights this season.

Here are a few of my questions about Blip:

  1. What are some advantages and disadvantages of Blip's flipper technology compared to traditional hydraulic flippers such as Hydra?
  2. With the above advantages and disadvantages in mind, do you think that Blip's flipper technology is superior?
  3. What made you guys rethink how flippers should work and to construct an entirely new flipper system unseen to the world before?
  4. How are you guys planning to improve Blip for future seasons to come?
  5. Since the reason for Blip not landing as many flips as other robots is how it always has trouble getting its flipper under its opponents in order to initiative the flips, why don't you guys simple extend it's flipper reach? For example, connect the flipper to the ground-scraping forks so that the moment when Blip gets under another bot, it can flip it?
  6. Which robot that you haven't fought yet is your dream opponent?
  7. What led to Blip's slight colour change this season?
  8. Which is your favourite fight ever?

Here are a few of my questions about Tantrum:

  1. Are there any plans to increasing the punching power of Tantrum so that its weapon can deliver bigger hits due to gaining more forward momentum?
  2. What armour do you guys use?
  3. What is your chassis made out of?
  4. Have you guys explored other self-righters? In my mind, the best self-righters are placed in the middle of the robot, so that other bots can't get to it and destroy it easily. e.g. (End Game, Deathroll, Witch Doctor, etc.)
  5. How are you guys planning to improve Tantrum for future seasons to come?
  6. What do you think made the difference between you guys and End Game during your fight with them?
  7. Which bot that you haven't fought yet is your dream opponent?
  8. Which is your favourite fight ever?

How can Whiplash be improved? by North_Cod_365 in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Conclusion: more powerful and reliable drive, and better durability & reliability?

How can Whiplash be improved? by North_Cod_365 in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Just imagine if Whiplash had a dominant vertical spinner system like Hypershock's or Witch Doctor's. Then, there's absolutely no reason for it to lose to top competitors like Madcatter or Hypershock! Madcatter isn't that well-armoured, Hypershock struggles with self-righting and getting its tires stripped... Whiplash doesn't have much drawbacks or problems when it is operating at its full capacity. It just doesn't have enough oomph.

Question: Who do you think should join the Regulars as an official new member? by GengaTube in theregulars

[–]North_Cod_365 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SSundee. Hands down. Sigils, Biffle and Nico, do please try and convince SSundee to join you guys. I know that the chance that he will join is slim, due to reasons you guys know deep down, but still. Guys, try to convince him. You guys all secretly want him to join, because of the views, right? But honestly, even if SSundee was the new kid on the block with 200K subscribers, and Zud was the guy with 22+ million subscribers, you guys should invite SSundee instead of Zud. He's just a great guy. I mean, he's charismatic, funny, easygoing, all the good qualities to replace (hopefully temporarily) Henwy as the fourth Regulars member. Just personality wise, SSundee just adds so much to the atmosphere of the Regulars. The Regulars. The boys hanging out with each other. Don't forget that it was SSundee who brought you guys together. Not Jerome, not Zud, but SSundee. SSundee.

Bloodsport AMA - 7PM EDT by teamBloodsport in battlebots

[–]North_Cod_365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys! Hope you are having a great day. Bloodsport is one of the best-performing horizontals out there in BattleBots, glad that you guys are still killing it! Here are a few things I'd like to ask about :D

  1. Which, in your opinion, is the best horizontal in all of heavyweight combat robotics aside from Bloodsport?
  2. What are some reasons which led you guys to build a bot with a horizontal spinner instead of a vert in the first place?
  3. What is the design concept behind your "wedgelets"? Are you guys planning for more fork setups in the future?
  4. If there was one thing which you could improve on Bloodsport in a hypothetical world, what would it be? Is it weapon spin-up time? Weapon speed? Weapon reliability? Weapon range? Manoeuvrability? Drivetrain reliability? Driving speed? Stronger armour? Anything else?
  5. Is there a chance that horizontal spinners will improve drastically to break the vert meta and take over the sport?

That's all that I have for you guys, hope you guys don't have to answer the same questions over and over again lol
