AI-ing (.py files, coding, nose-orienting R+D, and help)

once thing that can trip up a lot of people is ensure there are no extra spaces in the bot name

I know some people in CC put a space at the end of the name by mistake which casues headaches

[090901]

No extra spaces in the name, show I'm not sure what's up with it.
I only have one other bot AIed and that was my BBEANS6 entry..


*Edit* Duh, I put a : after math

[JoeBlo]

lol didnt see that :P damn stupid eyes

lol, I looked over it a couple times before I noticed it too.
Back to AIing the rest of my team now.
Also what's the nose math on this bot?

[JoeBlo]

either math.pi/2 or -math.pi/2 I think ? hehe I forgot which I usually plan out my robots to use pi*2 :P

[123savethewhales]

Is there an AI that flicks a switch at start and leave it on?  It is important that it uses a switch so it doesn't stop at any time.  I wanted to use it for this

[JoeBlo]

put it as a button name it spin and omni ?

I dont recall omni stops spinning in the case of a count out

[123savethewhales]

So if I want it to start spinning right away (rather than after the 3 ticks), how would I do it?

So far my code looks like this

    def Tick(self):

        self.Input("Spin", 0, 1)

        return AI.SuperAI.Tick(self)

[JoeBlo]

if you set a large enough range omni should spin straight away ?

It spins once the 3 ticks countdown end.  But prespin helps keep this bot balance.  I wanted the switch to be turn on before the match starts (during the countdown).

[JoeBlo]

but the game stops this motion before match starts anyway ?

but still you will have to consult mad and he knows how to break the RA2 rules in python :P

I would think so too.  But the result varies from the AI to when I manually flicking the switch before the timer starts.  I am not sure what it is though.

When i made Doom Dreidel, a friend of mine was here with me.  We were joking that it'd probably be the easiest bot in the world to AI.  Now, I come here and see a question about AI'ing his offspring (and mega upgrade).  Thanks for ruining my joke, 123 :P

Where did Click release Kheper.py?

And where's that handy picture of all the different math.pi?

[JoeBlo]

I dont know.. Scrap used it in a NarAI bot if I remember.. if not I can send you a copy

I dont know about the existence of this either.. I scribbled up one for HA but that's about the extent of my knowledge

[Naryar]

@GK: For the math.pi thing, that depends of the heading ruler. Extreme left is 'nose':0, middle is 'nose':math.pi, extreme right is 'nose':math.pi*2 (=0) .

I dont know.. Scrap used it in a NarAI bot if I remember.. if not I can send you a copy

He should have, but didn't since he fell on problems with the .py having problems with servo being attached to the baseplate or not and changed his servo clamping VS team to a FS team.

So no, i don't have Kheper.py... but i am really looking towards getting it 

[G.K.]

I don't particularly need it, but I just wondered how Scrap got it.

I think Nary was the one who posted it.

[Naryar]

Ask Click.

All the servo VS py's i have in NAR AI are LittleMetalFriend.py (that is 7 years old), Phil's InMyArms2.py (that i can't get to work) and the SOW AI (that i didn't even touched yet).

[Clickbeetle]

I gave Scrap Daddy Kheper.py for his bots.  However, it is hard to use because the angles in the .py are specific to Kheper, and because of the way GetMotorAngle works I don't think they could be easily customizable.  For non-Kheper bots you probably need to make a copy of the .py and change the angles.  Be forewarned.

It spins once the 3 ticks countdown end.  But prespin helps keep this bot balance.  I wanted the switch to be turn on before the match starts (during the countdown).

Put self.Input("Spin", 0, 1) in def __init__ or def Activate?  Nothing in def Tick happens until after the countdown.
