Condor, I don't think I will be able to battle you soon, as my DSL has been on the fritz and I am trying to fix it.

Owch...

Just wondering, but I should be able to open both the file for the mud tires AND the WBC wheels so I can see if double mud tires have more grip, right?

Bump.

My AI team is finished, but not AIed yet. This is my last bot:

Absurdity! It's basically Snowjob on steroids. It has an enormous power in it's hits:

What do you think?

Somebody · « **Reply #62 on:** February 02, 2009, 07:42:42 AM »

Looks fast. Is it invertible?

Reier · « **Reply #63 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:47:12 AM »

Reminds me of my Skink bot. What armor does that thing have?

Somebody · « **Reply #64 on:** February 02, 2009, 09:56:38 AM »

Are those normal NPCs?

Should do a good crazy Rammer, but need to be invertible.
perhaps let a pair of motors and wheels out and add titanium protection on the top and the bottom of the bot to avoid Vertical Spinner scraping

You'd be better with drive E-teks and Techno Destructo wheels. Will be fully invertible then. And wedges too.

Absurdity is a great name.

Those are NPC-Fasts. It is semi-invertible, in that it can kinda ice-skate around on it's rear two wheels, but it was mainly designed with the idea that if anything is going to flip it, said thing will most likely self-right it as well. I think the armor is tite 3. I'd use the drive-Eteks, but then it would be taller, most likely higher than the blade, and then it would lose all effectiveness while inverted.

I just realized I could make it much lighter by lengthening it and using Reier-style NPC stepping. Should I redesign?

This is not said in the realistic rules (but it should ?) : "if a bot is not invertible, you should not set the invertible parameter at True in its bindings " -> some AI says to not fight an inverted bot that is not invertible, so, once inverted, it is not said that your opponent will help you self right.

Reier · « **Reply #69 on:** February 02, 2009, 03:34:38 PM »

Reier-style?
You mean like this?

Condor33 · « **Reply #70 on:** February 03, 2009, 05:41:21 PM »

Yeah, like that. You can see it even better in the Mutant Dragonfly series. Should I do that?

UPDATE: New one, it's called LolWutBot

As far as I know, this is THE FIRST mw to have a dual perm. It's actually very similar to Daisy Might, and it has the same weakness: the weapon falls off to easy. Any suggestions?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #71 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:30:35 PM »

Well, aside from the obvious "Dual Perm Is Way Overkill For A MW", you could try using just a plain DSL bar, like on my LW Epitaph. It would break off in one big chunk instead of becoming unbalanced, and you could therefore last longer.

Nice bot... I didn't think that could be done even remotely effectively.

Just don't use a Dual Perm on a serious MW.

A Six Mag is more than enough (see: Lock Nut)

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #73 on:** February 05, 2009, 12:48:13 AM »

I've tried that too, but mine was too unstable. Yours probably has the same instability problems.

Reier · « **Reply #74 on:** February 05, 2009, 08:15:18 AM »

I made one like that once with 30 kg sledges & plain extenders. Never tested it out so I don't know how it works.

R1885 · « **Reply #75 on:** February 05, 2009, 09:44:26 AM »

I also made a MW like that, it was way to powerful to use.

Condor33 · « **Reply #76 on:** February 06, 2009, 07:03:24 AM »

Yeah, it was basically a joke bot, and had not much combat effectiveness. Not to mention it havoked simply out of existence for some reason. I do have a new bot though: A SHW version of the Hum-Drums, these are the Rumble-Drums

These things are pretty darned powerful, just one of them completely murdered Grog and was actually able to KO Steel Meatball...barely.

If we ever have a SHW tourney these will be my entries.

Naryar · « **Reply #77 on:** February 06, 2009, 08:16:03 AM »

Well, I suck at drums, but still you can remove two battlepacks (maybe replacing them with 2 ants so you won't lose battery life) ... plus this must be slow seeing these particularly ungrippy wheels.

Reier · « **Reply #78 on:** February 06, 2009, 08:20:47 AM »

Agree with Nar.

Are those perm 80s or 160s powering the weapon?

Condor33 · « **Reply #79 on:** February 28, 2009, 08:42:03 AM »

I think 160s.

MEGABUMP...again...help

Yeah. New bot, based on a Starcore design.

Switched the weapons to more durable ones (typhoon spikes instead of razors) which improved it a lot. Now it is an even match to Grog, which is something I've never really done before.
