[ecolusian]

sure! just so i can test my dsl skill, gotta be good enough for nar AI ya'know

[RedAce]

Sent my bot.  If you still don't mind me skinning the Ring Arena to look like a wrestling ring, then I can still do it for ya.

[09090901]

i've already started recording, but you can send it if you want

[RedAce]

In that case, then there's really no point then.  Thanks though.

Good luck Thrackerzod.  May the best man win.

Rival Rumble's gonna be in the Ring Arena so, if you want to reskin it, I'd love to have it.

Thrackerzod wins 2-1

redace just can't win with wedges

[Thrackerzod]

Now, to confirm, "no wedges" != "no chassis wedges", right?

Anyway, GG dude.  Cool bot.

[Silverfish]

I'm so sorry, RedAce, for starting this whole thing.....

[RedAce]

Now, to confirm, "no wedges" != "no chassis wedges", right?

Yes.  I did mean no wedges, as in " chassis wedges are also banned".  And i'm not saying because I lost.

Good game though.  Thanks for this Twice.

[Reier]

i love asymmetric bots

[Thrackerzod]

Yes.  I did mean no wedges, as in " chassis wedges are also banned".  And i'm not saying because I lost.

If you really did, then I misinterpreted the rules.  I could enter something else, if Geice doesn't mind re-hosting (but I guess that's cheating since now I know your bot).  Seeing as we weren't playing by the same rules, I don't think the match should count for anything.

In that case, I think I can be allowed to change my bot as well since the first match meant nothing if we are going to do this rematch.

Well of course; it's not fair to be at a disadvantage because I read the rules wrong

I'm open to re-hosting if you guys want

[Thrackerzod]

Okay, well then I'll have to actually build something for this.  I might be a bit.  I was gonna use Glenn, but he keeps getting hung up on the arena wall and I donno why.

I think 'no wedges' was extremely too vague. It either means nothing at all or means the banning of all wedges due to ambiguity. I have had a little chat with Dragonfire a while ago about Challenge rules and how I think they might be need a bit more polish so rulings are never an issue.

What I would like is no room for ambiguity. For example, for this challenge, the rule of no wedges should have been phrased on the lines of;
Prohibited components: *Forget what the normal wedge is called :P*, EMERGENCY Wedge
Chassis limitations: No wedge shapes

I also think it should also be debated as to whether the host has any blame for allowing Thracker's bot to be accepted, as it's reasonable to believe he may have had doubts accepting the bot if he read 'no wedges'.

I'm sorry if I come off as high and mighty by saying this and seeming like I'm talking for the Challenge Board mods, because I'm definitely not. It's just my view on the matter.

[Thrackerzod]

I don't think Geice is at fault here, as my bot did fit a particular interpretation of the rules as given.  RedAce and I should have done a better job clarifying the rules though.

At least Myre Jynk did pretty good in its debut match.

You tried increasing the radius value in the bindings?
