Signups closed? I was gonna make a bot for this. Darn.

Lol I wonder who is going to win this. HMMMMMMMMMMMM.. :P

Is this tournament going to be deceptively long even though it only has four entries?

Hmmmm.......
I've seen this somewhere before....

Depends how quickly they get me the robots.

@G.K. Signups were open for nearly a month. I am sorry, but you had your chance to enter

@Urjak and S_M: Possibly, depending on how quickly they send me their bots.

@SD: If you mean that I am going to cheat and test against the bots, I am not.
Note: Thats the version of the Drum Bot in my NAR AI team before I renamed it, painted it, etc. Just so everybody knows, so that they can test against mine, but I still will not test against theirs.

I know it's my own fault. Soz.

And the worst part is, you knew of the thread from the first day, because you were one of the first posts in it XD. Oh well, maybe next time.

Actually i meant that Joeblo's bot would wreck all of these.

Wait... we can change BEFORE our first match starts?

Somebody · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2010, 01:20:39 PM »

Yes. The rules state what you can and cannot add (feel free to ask any questions pertaining to the rules), then you send me the robot before the week ends and I will do the videos, etc.

Vertigo · « **Reply #12 on:** July 12, 2010, 01:34:56 PM »

So they could just send you a completely new robot for the next round?
Or must they use the same chasis?

Somebody · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2010, 01:56:12 PM »

They must send the same robot. All robots sent to me at the start are between 675 and 700 kgs. The bot they send me for the next round can be up to 800kgs, but it must be the same bot. There are restrictions on what you can and cannot move. All restrictions are in the rules in the signups thread. The point is to adapt to your opponent. Like for instance, if I was going to face Pyromania, I would make a wide drum on the front of Kraizee to counteract the SnSing. You can also upgrade/add external armor and certain armor, all rules again being in the signups thread.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2010, 02:27:09 PM »

Some pretty ok bots

Killastorm: Not my best bot but should do ok
Kraizee: Great bot. Should do good
Anklebiter v2.0: The tournaments SFTW
Pyromania: By far The best

090901 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2010, 02:32:45 PM »

Killastorm: SFTW 1 AND SLIMBODY DRIVE FOR WEAPONS? THAT IS MORE FAIL THEN PUTTING SLIMBODY DRVE AS DRIVE ON A SHW.
Kraizee: Second best bot
Anklebiter v2.0: What kind of fail is this...
Pyromania: Best Bot.

Somebody · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:17:51 PM »

Hmm... I shall see what I can come up with to counteract Pyromania.

Stagfish · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:21:54 PM »

I was gonna enter, but I completely forgot...

Somebody · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2010, 09:11:30 PM »

Well you all will have another chance. After this ends, I will post an interest poll between a UHW Tourney or TWOC 2. I predict the UHW tourney will win, so TWOC 2 will happen after.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2010, 01:23:36 AM »

hmmm... I think I will just carry on with some MOAR WEAPONS

those wondering about the random flamethrowers sitting out the front ? it will be AI'd with a tweaked FBS.py but every time the robot faces forward rather then just moving forward it fires the flamethrowers and since there on an axle they take very little air and have long range.
