These bots look a lot like JD's noob warz entry (Not saying these are nooby but its what they look like)

Noob Warz?

Well, your right there, I am a newbie.

And the Havok line of robot sucks due to lack of damaging weapons.
But I am making changes to the design 'till i get something that can beat a NAR AI bot.
All these can easily beat DSL AI apart from Grog, who still can get beaten by hitting him very hard
in opposite direction to rotation, knocking off a hammer and doing the Mauler dance 'till it flips itself!

Might wanna reduce the chassis height, you have a lot of wasted space at the top.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 20, 2010, 07:58:18 AM »

It isn't as high as it looks due to the resolution changes.
It is as low as the bar would go! Limbo!

Anyone wanna teach this guy about bumping? I can't be bothered.

*Sees bot name*
:o

New bot:

No batteries as of yet because everyone's been saying that I have been overpowering my bots,
so for a rough idea, how many ants or batteries would I need in this poker?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 20, 2010, 09:14:48 AM »

6. You need 6 ants at least for this bot.

I like the idea behind the invertability.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:08:35 AM »

Yeah, the controls reversing upon inverting were annoying.
I experimented with two sets of controls, one to use when inverted = Failed
So I copied Pussycat!

I sense this would be a good time to teach you about the Slider Chassis glitch. I call it the Megalow Chassis, but that's just me. Basically, what you do, when you're in the bot lab and have laid out your chassis design, when you set the height, slide the bar as far up as you can, then click right at the bottom. The chassis jumps back down much further than you can get with a normal slider, you could save a couple of kg that way, and it gives your opponents less to hit.

New bot looks quite interesting, although the top piston seems to pass through one of the air tanks. Might want to fix that.

Also, what weight class is this bot going to be competing in?

SteveM4 · « **Reply #50 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:24:55 AM »

HW, based on Eye-stabber and Spawn of Scutter

Also, off topic I know...
My AI is all weird, I had NAR AI for a while and wanted to use the DSL AI for a change.
I downloaded a new DSL and only copied out the AI, and now I have NAR AI bots just going
strait into walls and attacking the walls??
So, yeah, can I fix that??

NFX · « **Reply #51 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:31:05 AM »

I reckon it might be something to do with the bindings not matching up with the bots. Though you might be better to seek GK or JoeBlo's opinion, someone who knows more about AI'ing than I do.

Another tip, Hypno wheels are better than Micros or ants, I think, I would suggest using those for your bot.

G.K. · « **Reply #52 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:34:05 AM »

What exactly did you copy out? The entire folder?

SteveM4 · « **Reply #53 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:40:15 AM »

Just the AI part of DSL 2.1, over-riding the NAR AI.
Simple copy and over-writing of the AI folders

G.K. · « **Reply #54 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:48:39 AM »

The entire folder?

SteveM4 · « **Reply #55 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:49:44 AM »

The entire AI folder, yup

G.K. · « **Reply #56 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:53:07 AM »

I don't know why that is the case.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:54:29 AM »

Any way of fixing it?

G.K. · « **Reply #58 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:00:32 AM »

Try deleting (Or moving, probably a bettter idea) the AI folder an pasting in whichever one it was you wanted without overwriting anything.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:02:56 AM »

Just tried that and the game doesn't start.
Here's what I am going to do, save all robot designs and DELETE RA2 DSL and re-install
