The Soccer Arena thread has grown much too long. The same 6 or so designs keep paper-rock-scissoring each other and the thread will never end in a champion.
I've been trying to make an ipecac machine that is resistant to most defenses, but I seem to keep getting bumped out by simpler designs. So I made this thread instead! Let's use it as a prototype bay for our megabeast. I'll post our main designs here and keep track of which one is "best"; feel free to come up with your own solutions or to tweak an old one.
These are the opponents we are trying to defeat. Let's try to beat them all, or failing that, beating as many as possible (post more if you have em!):
Our Enemies:
- The Sniper: This contraption reaches out for an early kick victory.
- Basket Wedge: This contraption lays low and scoots under most heavy opponents.
- Junior: A small contraption that works similarly to Wedge Basket
- Mobile Radar: This contraption has a forward dish and spinner for a grab and toss attack.
- Beefy V: This contraption does some suprising damage to larger machines.
= The contraption does not win on it's own! If you can make a better iteration that does, please post it!And these are the contraptions we are building to overcome all. If a design can't stand up to multiple opponents after tweaking, it becomes an enemy!
The Contenders:
- The Guardsman: Defends against many!
- Heavy Duty: Defends against sniper and seals off his own goal if pushed too hard. Difficult to beat but isn't mobile.
- The Rainbow: This contraption is slow and heavy but has a strong toss attack.
- Behemoth: A solidly built rear catch and double-forward-flingers.
