If you want to send it to me with bindings I can record a 5 match series.

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on May 02, 2009, 10:50:10 AM: Very nice, but there can't be more than 1 black in there.
Title: Challenging absolute chaos to a match
Post by: ACAMS on May 02, 2009, 11:21:17 AM: I have a problem.....you changed from razors (7kg) to maces (10kg)......but the weight stayed the same.....what gives?

it should have gained 18kg
Title: Challenging absolute chaos to a match
Post by: somestrangeguy on May 02, 2009, 11:23:37 AM: 1 less black like R0B0 said?
Title: Challenging absolute chaos to a match
Post by: ACAMS on May 02, 2009, 11:24:51 AM: Blacks weigh 30kg....the weight is EXACTLY the same

6 - HP Zteks = 180kg
36 - maces = 360kg
4 - tribars = 56kg
12 - round extenders = 24kg
2 - black batteries = 60kg
2 - shiny hub wheels = 24kg
1 - control board = 4kg
TOTAL = 708kg.....plus chassis, plus whatever hanges the motors.

Actually in that picture it was 9 blades and 27 maces, just because I couldn't get the maces balanced correctly except for one arm. Now I have all 36 maces balanced in my new updated bot.

And yes, I called the blades razors by accident.

What do you mean with bindings? All my controls wired?
If so, I can send it to you in a little bit, I just have to adjust a few things first.

I figured that out a little bit ago, now I'm reading up on a tutorial on how to AI my bot...

I'll do it if you want.

BTW- your maces confused me for a sec haha. would probably be better facing downward.

Thanks sage, it would be awesome if you could AI my bot.

And yeah, I wanted to have the maces facing down but for some reason 1 out of 3 arms on the tribar would not accept a mace on the 20cm extender position closest to the tribar arm, no matter how I turned it. That's why my first bot uses blades, couldn't get maces on there.

As of now, the maces face the direction they spin and I was able to add all of them, so I figured it was a fair trade-off. Only thing to watch out for would be low clearance weapons.

EDIT: I'll just throw you a note on YIM and send you the bot.

Title: Challenging absolute chaos to a match
Post by: infiniteinertia on May 04, 2009, 08:43:17 PM: i tried without any nose. Starcore, Tankcat or myself can send you the bot If you wish.
Title: Challenging absolute chaos to a match
Post by: tankcat on May 04, 2009, 09:03:36 PM: Why isn't the heading working? Actually I'm not even sure if I set it in the right direction, it's supposed to be facing towards the motors... not sure if that helps, though.

Also Starcore, I would be more than thankful if you could help get the AI working.
Title: Challenging absolute chaos to a match
Post by: Somebody on May 05, 2009, 02:34:18 PM: Look in the AI helping thread. Mad put up a thing showing what number means what.
