questions

I'm just curious. At the end of every battle, it says "The battle is over. LordDicks is exhausted."

But these are robots, right? How do robots get exhausted?!

ex·haust·ed/igˈzôstid/ Adjective:
Drained of one's physical or mental resources; very tired

Resources could be anything - health, electricity, power, etc

Like Fish said, they're out of energy aka you took all the energy out of them. This doesn't make much sense since you're theoretically slicing and dicing them to a pile of rubble but since you attack a bot 200 times or more and the bot doesn't break after 1 attack, the current wording is meant to be a loophole. Thus the bot regenerates its energy and can fight again. The battle messages are just poor wording for this.

Watch real steal

I liked Real Steel, a bit cheesy and full of cliches, but all in all a good family movie to watch with the kids.

Yeah, definitely a "feel good" movie to watch as a family.

Time in the bots world is distorted, there's really a several hour recharge break between each fight.

HP = battery length/amount of charges, damage = discharge of said battery, thus exhausted is just the right word to describe a "dead" bot

I don't think batteries get drained by smashing them. I think they just get smashed.

Changing my philosophy to battery replacement rather than recharge then.

what he said.

I take it your balls haven't dropped yet or puberty hasn't set in, due to you taking over the childish nature of spamming the forums.

Well I never, must you be so rude.

well the smashing it self would probably not discharge the battery, but considering that the bot still has to be functional to deliver hits for the rest of the fight, i thought there might be nano-bots doing minor repairs to keep it upright, thus draining the battery as the only available energy source aloud.

convincing?

I would assume nano-bots don't need an energy source. At least that's how they're always portrayed in movies.

Bots4 (a long with the rest of the internet) exist in an alternate universe where different rules apply.

I suppose that makes sense.

movement by an object, no matter how small, in any direction requires energy and can be described by the kinetic energy formula:

Ek = ½mv^2

• m = mass
• v = speed

well the smashing it self would probably not discharge the battery, but considering that the bot still has to be functional to deliver hits for the rest of the fight, i thought there might be nano-bots doing minor repairs to keep it upright, thus draining the battery as the only available energy source aloud.

Like that episode of Futurama where Fry gets worms?

no idea .. havent seen it
