And Mr Flibble (shameless plug) for the flukiest tourney win, and coming a legit 2nd in MMR :P

Or the bot it lost to? :P

Added more bots that were suggested. Still, critique is nice.

Not enough AW or BW- Nanowhirl should probably be there. And Mr Flibble (shameless plug) for the flukiest tourney win, and coming a legit 2nd in MMR :P

If Mr. Flibble, then Puncture III? =P

Badnik96 · « **Reply #103 on:** May 31, 2012, 03:48:24 PM »

Added N00BOT. Also what did any of those really do besides fluke? :P And Nanowhirl? Why?

What was the first 1WD bot? I remember someone saying somewhere that ACAMS built the first; it's probably one of these:

Badnik96 · « **Reply #105 on:** May 31, 2012, 03:59:54 PM »

Someone else made one too, I found it on the board VB posted. Asking ACAMS would be my best bet.

Reier · « **Reply #106 on:** May 31, 2012, 05:33:06 PM »

These might deserve to be on the list, hopefully one of the oldies can tell me if they're important enough.

<-- pretty sure one of the only AAM AWs, was entered in some ancient AW tourney too

<-- I think I heard somewhere it was famous/revolutionary, but I have no idea.

Oh and if Alligator isn't on, I think it probably should be.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #107 on:** May 31, 2012, 06:32:07 PM »

Why Alligator?

OK, I will add 2 Sinister, but SPC is already on the list to represent AAM.

09090901 · « **Reply #108 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:11:26 PM »

Crawler would probably be better than Alligator as it was one of the first crawlers. That and ACAMS Technical Difficulties which I thinks was one of the first 12 iron hsses

I think it's a shame that only AI and tournament bots get recognition, I've seen amazing designs in showcases over the years but because they aren't in the top AI packs or entered into major tourneys no one really remembers them.

Ultimate Sacrifice should be on the list:

Sage · « **Reply #110 on:** June 01, 2012, 02:37:56 AM »

@ianh, ultimate sacrifice IS on the list.

ianh05 · « **Reply #111 on:** June 01, 2012, 02:47:23 AM »

ah, /facepalm. what about cold front? the first wammer i believe... however if we start putting the first of everything on the list there won't be much room left lol (and perhaps I could nominate my first AW drum, Dual HS and my mini-fury :P)

It's also missing symbiote:

NFX · « **Reply #112 on:** June 01, 2012, 04:32:27 AM »

Symbiote should definitely be up there. Can't believe I forgot about that thing.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #113 on:** June 01, 2012, 05:07:26 AM »

*Shameless Self Promotion*

but I dug through my youtube channel..

Centrifugal Fury.. far from the most exciting robot but some of my finest AI work.. :D

And one of my favourites Synergy..

Pwnator · « **Reply #114 on:** June 01, 2012, 06:22:51 AM »

You know what, just put every single bot Click has built into that list. That should be enough. :P

Conraaa · « **Reply #115 on:** June 01, 2012, 06:38:18 AM »

Thing that's just occured to me: Why does the shell of Symbiote have a black battery in it? The only thing that moves are the servos and last time I checked they didn't need any power. And the outer shell is sacrificial so I don't think it would last long enough to need to self right.

Pwnator · « **Reply #116 on:** June 01, 2012, 06:49:49 AM »

Click once intended it for RAW 2 (rules require mobility, which it can do by scuttling around with the snappers). So yeah.

couldn't agree more :P and don't forget firebeetle, pillar of fire deserves to be on the list too as I'm pretty sure it started the SnS craze.

soon it's gonna be the top 300

I have to say that I haven't heard of a lot of these bots you all are kicking around.

(in addition to what's been posted)

Barbed Obsidian. (Luigica was a genius, this was IMO his finest work)
Little Darling. (people around when I started will remember her horrors)
Vise/Frag Beetle 2- the best side hammers ever built.
Final Destination- finalized the reinvention of the hammer, and is one of the best.

I'll think of more. Whatever Inf named the true-piston-popup he has in INF AI is truly the best of it's kind.

Agree 100% with Little Darling. It was Absolute Chaos before the first 36HS.
