Car Nack Predicts 2011-5

5. At the end of the match, occasionally there will be a mini-bot running around on the floor.

I think this one will happen; some minbots will fall off, some will fall and spectacularly shatter into a billion pieces, some will run around on the floor and potentially slam into a HOSTBOT. Either way, going to get a spectacle and a lot of "ouch" noises.

That's a fun prediction!

By extension:
5.A. At the end of the match, occasionally there will be a mini-bot running around on the HOSTBOT that deployed it.

Both will be tragic and mildly entertaining.

I expect to see lots of swings and misses at the pole and the occaional mini-bot fatlity at the hands of a Hostbot. I think of the fate that poor little runner bot 1519 had at Beantown Blitz when I visualize this.

How many mini bots will climb up then fall and destroy there hostbot?

Ha ha, yes this will definitely happen as teams either miss the pole or the minibot climbs the pole and when it hits the top it falls to the ground :eek:

This one seems to be akin to predicting that the sun will rise in the morning...

If there is a minibot running on the ground, I bet it will be run over! :eek:

I was thinking about that, and I don't know how often, if ever it'll happen. The bumper zone is pretty low this year, so I think that the mini-bot would be more likely to get pushed around than run over.

Or maybe I'm just being an optimist since our mini-bot isn't all that promising.

If your minibot is slow, it's less likely to fall off the bar before time runs out and thus get run over.

Yeah adding on to Car Nack's prediction, I would bet there is at least 1 minibot completely destroyed during the course of the season due to it running around on the ground.

Our mini-bot is slow and likes to fall off.

So...

Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-5
 
Does anyone know whether this will be a penalty other than disabling the tower?

I do mean during the last 10 seconds... not during the rest of the match...

I would like some opinions as I believe there is a penalty for deploying the minibot anywhere other than the alliance poles...

Ideas? Comments?

I would also be willing to bet that a fair number of minibots fall off their hostbots during the match, and that will most likely not end well.

That will definately put the little guys in danger.
