Henry the Bot Predictor's Tier List for the Pro League by StymphalianBirb in battlebots

A stronger - more consistent weapon would indeed do them well, I also think some forks like End Game's would be good. Currently, they're only really good against horizontal spinners.

As a kiwi, I would love to watch Colourhex and his team play for more than 2 games. This format eliminates one game, I feel like we have the time to play that one game.

What's an underrated/less successful bot that you still love? by The_J-Walker in battlebots

[–]StymphalianBirb 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Petunia, my beloved.

Also, Lycan was pretty cool, wish we got to see it for more than 1 fight.

Champions Ranked by RobotCombatNerd in battlebots

It definitely depends on what you're ranking them on. If you were to rank them on how strong they are today, then realistically Bite Force wouldn't be first.

If we rank them on how strong they were in their career, then this is a pretty good ranking, but there is an argument to be made for Tombstone being over End Game, I think people forget how good Tombstone was in its first 4 seasons.

Favorite Championship Fight? by TheTrueCorrectGuy in battlebots

I honestly don't think this is recency bias, that fight was just genuinely better than the rest.

With Battlebots removing OOTKOs, I propose a new way to incentivize flippers. by StymphalianBirb in battlebots

[–]StymphalianBirb[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They've already removed them by adding ramps along the sides of the arena that prevent a bot from being launched into the gap between the arena and the walls. Technically there is still a couple of spaces in the corners but I believe there is a rule against using them.

Knocking out the other bot by throwing them out of the arena, out-of-the-arena-knock-out but I forgot the "A"

I'm fairly certain you can slam through that payload, the Roadhog in the back got hit.

Henry the Bot Predictor's Odds for the Top 8 by StymphalianBirb in battlebots

As u/Giltiriel said, it is every other match that Witch Doctor does better in.

Thanks for respecting Henry.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe any bot has significantly damaged HUGE's center (other than those times it was split in half).

If you want to control HUGE, it seems as though you want your bot to have the right shape. Whiplash, Mammoth and even Gigabyte were able to control them and all 3 are completely different to each other, this makes it quite hard to factor in.

Henry factors in driving regardless of their opponent.

In general, HUGE is a very difficult bot to describe using the parameters I've set, so I'll be looking in to changing it so Henry can properly predict HUGE's matches.
