With Starcore, PYS and INF not around much (or at all) any more I feel like a huge gap has been left in the community, where will the next stock AI pack come from? Well as you all know I tend to have a lot of free time so I have decided to work on a stock GTM (gametechmods) AI pack. This pack will include 6 bots from many members they can have any weight classes in their team.
Each members team will contain the 6 most iconic bots from that person as decided on by the community, these bots can come from showcases, BOTM and/or tournaments. It should have at least 20 teams and should include:
Team ACAMS
Team Starcore
Team Clickbeetle
Team Firebeetle
Team Sage
Team INF
Team PYS
Team Scrap Daddy
Team PWN
Team Robosh4rk
Team Naryar
Team JoeBlo
Team Somebody
Team SSG
Team S32
Team NFX
Team Virus Bomb
Team Jack Daniels
Team S_M
Team Vertigo
etc.
-
Sure. I'll be glad to help by making my own Team.
-
Seems like a good idea. Maybe this could get people interested in Stock again, since Starcore doesn't appear to be moving forward, ReStocked is near completion, but looks stagnant at the moment. Depends how quickly things can move along. Would there be the usual LW/MW/HW trio, with three extra bots of no particular weight class? It might be a bit of a tough task if some members only built in specific weight classes because of personal preferences.
-
I think the best way is 1 LW, 1 MW, 1 MW, and 3 any weightclass bots.

No restrictions on weight (I have only built like 3-4 MWs total and only 3-4 decent HWs so my team would have no MW), however I would prefer it if all the top members had at least 1 LW, 1 MW and 1 HW.
Sure. I'll be glad to help by making my own Team.
I think you missed the point, these are meant to be iconic bots not new bots built just for the AI pack.

I didn't miss the point, You just misunderstood me...

If you don't you could nominate some that you would like to be included. If you've done well in a tournament with a bot it would be preferred along with most commented bots from your showcase.
Basically I want people to go through the bots and go "oh I remember that one". If you think people know about a certain bot then it's notable, like I think most people know about my bot H.A.N.N.A.H despite it only having one match in an unfinished tournament so it will feature on my team.
-
lol 6 notable stock bots for me???
-

I have faith that we can find 6 worthy bots from you. perhaps Pinhole for an AW? :) PitA 8 for a HW.

I'd suggest Ancient Curse and Grinding Noise as well. Can't actually think of any memorable LW stock bots he's made.

lol I can think of one, "Evil Eye" that one-wheeled 9 mace HS (and Pinhole is actually a LW multi-bot).
-
Do you mean "notable" as in other people know it well, or i know it well?
-
For Me:
Dark Void 2
18HS
Phenomenomonomon 2
????
Encroaching Darkness 2
Macro Vulcan
-
Pity we don't have peple like Vertigo 002, Lugicia and eFFe around...
-
1-AW
1-BW
1-LW
1-MW
1-HW
1-SHW
-

Or do we have two teams?
-
So this isn't really like a GTM AI pack, more like a 'legends of stock' pack, with all the well-known bots? It might be good to compile them, this is true, but we shouldn't get it mixed up with a NARAI-type submit-all-your-'notable'-bots-when-nobody's-actually-heard-of-any-of-them.
-
If that's the case im out. :P
-
i honestly dont have enough notable bots to have a team :X
-
Well, you got Stratocaster. but obviously that's just one bot. :P
-
Perhaps 3 bots per team? and the builders with more notable bots can get 2 teams IE Team Sage and Team Sage 2.
-
i just say whatever you want. I have some dope ass bots that arent notable at all and it would be nice to see a new ai pack released.
-
hmm
LW- That 140cm extender VS, I forget its name
MW- Arcade 3, I think, unless someone can name a more memorable one.
HW- Either OO4 or cheese
-
Why does it have to be notable bots, why not just a "GTM AI Pack?"
-
um if we were going by "best" bots instead of most notable bots my team would probably be
lw = some lw idk either purplesands II, croW
mw = dolsa II
hw= mega mole
aw = anty c
extra 1 = full throttle
extra 2 = either [my rebuild of] crawler, silver splinter (mw side popup with 2 plows), or some crazy ghw
if were doing most notable my team would be the 2 speedy bots (in their original builds when i entered them into roboleague and ironbot) and..... yeah no thats it i dont think i have any notable bots other than that
and sparkey you should totally send that pikachu bot
-
if I still had it I would :/
-
Wish my team could have been 6x Heavyweights, but ehh...
Anyway, I wanna' try and contribute to this:

And likely, I will have to build a new AW, BW, and SHW robot.
Also, yes, I left out J-Phoenix because it wouldn't be fair.

OK, another LW and MW for my team, Astraphobia 2 and probably Quote

Your best/coolest is what I meant by notable as they are the ones that get attention :) If you want to join I'm going to start a progression thread in "Modifications and designs" with rules of submissions etc. soon once it's planned out.

WHERE IS GIRAFFE BOT
-
So, this is more about the builders than the actual bots then. Like, if inf just came in tomorrow and built a bot exactly like Absolute Chaos but with a smaller chassis, less extender work, and three blacks, Absolute Chaos would still be the first pick?

If someone has an upgraded version of their bot already made and isn't too different to the original then I will accept it, I'll probably accept updates when it's released for a version 2 anyway. I want the pack to be competitive for most part but I also want most people to recognize most the bots.
It's also a good way for people too measure up their skills against other members.

Just to avoid discussion of this getting split up and people missing posts im locking this, all discussion should go in the designs thread:
