Re: Defense in Ultimate Ascent

I think 67 has the accuracy to beat out the best cycle bots and once 948 gets set up, they can most certainly do it. I would also say that 2471 and 195 (both named their robots "oddjob" ) have the potential to outscore cycle bots.

Keep in mind that I'm only speaking of what can occur if these machines go unchecked. If being defended, I completely agree with pntbll1313's statement that a cycle bot can make more shots in a match.

Which good cyclers can get through all the discs? During elims, with defense being played, most cycle bots can make 4 trips. If two of them do that, that's 32 discs. If not defended, the fastest cycle bots can make 5 trips. In that case, you're right because they can run through 40 discs. Has this happened?
