Stock MW "freak" bot
-
RS, I like the idea of sometimes having a 'Freak bot' contest....
You'd probably have to come up with some simple parameters...
-
Venko wins, End of story.
Medium Weight Hammer stock.
-
ORLY?
I got a few freaks that pwn. So does Scrap (SBob FTW!). Ask him about them :P.
As for parameters being set, I agree with you on that, Madiaba. Since it would be really hard to set parameters though, ACAMS could probably just pick a couple of respected people on the forum (you and Clickbeetle for example) to deem it a "freak" or not. That's just a suggestion for one way of doing it.
-
Weird, but I was thinking stock MW hammer bot too!
-
The idea of ultra realistic stock bot is very good. I even want to see a tournament for those bots. But with not only "realistic rule", we must include "total realistic rule". This means NO DSA and NOT EVEN ONE GLITCH OF ANY TYPE OR STACKING. Lets go back to stock AI bots level... :biggrin:
Dont even say "splash of the month contest". You all just dont know what Photoshop skills i can show. Here im for sure a winner even more than in :
"~~~~~FREAK BOTS CONTEST~~~~~"
Did my ears hear right this "music for my ears"? :biggrin:
Im falling a lot for this idea...
This stock MW hammers and rammers are boring. Dont be so sure that i will win. I want this "freak" contest!
Let me help with some "parametars" for "FREAK", since im considered by others as kinda a expert of 'freak' bots.
The main thing in "freak" bot must be your different and variable dreams. It must show how can someone push his dreams to the limits. In freak we dont seek for efficiency, even mega lame weapon system is enough. We dont seek for superb building skills. "Freak" bot must have some general idea in him, and must be made and painted as it. It must have some unseen to now unique wierd cool weapons or driving system which vote will say is it that or not. Freak bot must be like some piece of art and we must look at him as sclupture for example not as efficiency at all coasts. The HW and SHW are most suitable for freaks, forget other weights, its like to give to a painter a small canvas to paint. So all entrys must be free and no rules and voters to choose by thyr opinions for "freak", is the job done well or not. Only one rule : bots must "look cool" not so effective...
-
no you're not, get over yourself.
-
dsl most "original" MW contest
-
im sorry to say venko, you have not showed any "amazing" skill in photoshop as of yet.
-
I still think that a 'Freak-bot" contest would be cool and should be thrown in the mix. Just like the categories of the old forum....
*Reminds me of Madbeaver and Rojo's totally cool Freakbots....Esp. the one that ingested, and then "excremented 3-dimensional-rectangular-building-objects" (hehe)*
-
I remember those. As Madiaba said, they shat bricks! Literally!
-
OF COURSE im not showing any "amazing" skills in photoshop yet. I was talking about future works. So far i only make my pics in a 2-3 mins. What if i want to put some more work... And i have photoshop from years...
And here on the forum have user than was seen some of my work...
-
venko. no matter what you build, none of your bots will ever be compared to the known veterans who are active and lurk considering i've never seen you online, nor enter tournaments.
-
Want to see a pic of Venko entering BBEANS?
-
Yeah.
-
OK, since you asked.....
You will have to click to see it since this is kinda ugly and crude.

I love that fake picture!
-
That is probably how it would go if he entered.
-
Replica competition:
ACAMS posts a pic of a real life bot, then the aim is to recreate that bot in stock.
-
lw stock hammer.
or even better
LW anything with a piston that is not a rammer
-
ACAMS since i know that you dont read my posts let me repeat myself just especially for you :
I WILL TRY TO ENTER IN ALL TOURNAMENTS THAT EXIST AND ARE STOCK !!!
BBEANS 5, Trov's tournament, Sage's and so...
And Inf, i was played some matches online from time to time, have some loses some wins...
And dont scare me with BBEANS 5. My bot for B5 is almost ready and seeing what he do make me to think that maybe im the aligators from the pic...
-
I was just playing.....don't get your panties ruffled.
-
I say lets count the ruffled panties after the tournament, ok ;)
Or did i must use the words "Master cylinder metal bottom" instead of "ruffled panties" :biggrin:
-
LOL awesome that pic ACAMS.
____________ OFF TOPIC___________________________________
Yeah, Inf, Venko was online with me and Cuda perhaps 6 times, once for entering his BW "lil chaos" that teleported OOTA twice, and another...
...that fight was epic. Sage brought Ultimatum and challenged all three of us us to beat him with three middleweights. My rammer War Claw 4, CUDA with a HS and Venko with another HS called NICE MR. PACKMAN (not sure of it).
Venko ripped accidentally a wheel off CUDA's bot when I was charging Ultimatum, getting thrown off each time. After one minute CUDA couldn't fight any more and Venko was on a corner with no razors left. I tried to push him off the corner because he was getting counted down. I did that, and suddenly... i killed him. "Oops" that's right, I pushed him with more than 20 irons...
We tried to fight together several times (VS against freakbot) but the game crashed.
___________________________________________________________
I would like DSL ant too, as suggested at first page.
-
Naryar you dont know for some others fights.
Once we with Sage was testing some of ours best bots.
And the lag this time was not that big. And we was battling HW HSs...
I have a good net speed and if the other guys have fast net too its posible to play even with HWs and the lag will be not that big like when we was plaing...
-
Idea for future BOTMs. Everyone who wants to nominates one bot (not their own) that has been posted on the forum during the past month. Anything is fair game, but since you can't nominate your own bot only the best/most original should get nominated. Then we vote on the nominees for BOTM.
So it's not so much a building contest as an award open to all the recently posted bots. Kinda like the Oscars or something.
-
that is...an...AMAZING...idea.

I could probably do that one, I know a couple robots that would be sadistically difficult.

DSL AW.
