In the purpose of the Elbite tournament, i've build 4 bots and i try to select 'the best one'.
As long as i reject one, i will post it here. this means i didn't succes in making this bot a good challenger. Perhaps one of you will take the idea and improve it.

So this is my first junky bot : Vertical spinner with low profile and a piston. The idea was, for king of the hill or tabletop, to invite foes up its top then eject them or rip them.

Good idea, bad realisation : not effective against poker in tabletop, this bot gives a good fight on king of the hill but it wide structure made it an easy target on the chaos of the hill.

so i say goodbye to this one.

Hex plates do damage.

I think the turtle shell plates do damage.

Wouldn't you transform this thread in one where everybody could post their bots?

I have a poker/wedge hybrid for the tabletop. It owns, but half of the time throws itself OOTA when AIed.

I have a drum for all three. Maybe this could be like the RAW Bot Showcase.

No problem, as long as it is a junkyard : i think this is kind of fun to discover the real opponents the day the tournament open.

Your bot seems over-powered. Moreover, why such a complicated attachement of the extenders in the front ?
finaly, why do you left this bot ? why do you feel it was not good ?
About he AI for the offensive bots , did you want it to work like a pusher or like a whipper ?

This was overpowered, and with its lack of weapons, it was a bad rammer. I was trying to make it like BrasOuvert, but it didn't work out.

you flatter me, but BrasOuvert is not a good bot.

Mah bad bot...

I decided against it because it wasn't very versitile.

Here's a possible candidite:

Be aware Reier that this thread is for the 'bad bots' only. the ones we test and that did not reach our hopes. The 'good ones' will be discovered when the match will be opened.

Reier · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2008, 02:26:13 PM »

Uh...whoops! Edited. Sorry. I'm not even sure if I'm going to enter that one anyway.

Somebody · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2008, 03:39:19 PM »

Bras Ouvert is pretty good, and it has a good design, but it doesn't work on a 4wd bot.

philetbabe · « **Reply #13 on:** October 11, 2008, 06:35:51 AM »

here is another failure :
Too fast for tabletop, even with a low speed on its AI,
and the front too heavy (or the wheels too much on the back) for king of the hill : climb too slowly : too bad !

Reier · « **Reply #14 on:** October 11, 2008, 08:52:43 AM »

Yeah, Piglets usually don't work too well for drive motors.

Edit: Cool paintjob.

Somebody · « **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2008, 08:58:59 AM »

I bet you that if you used better motors, it would get up the hill faster.

philetbabe · « **Reply #16 on:** October 15, 2008, 01:40:55 PM »

My last chess :
VS that done good on King of the hill but which are really asshole on tabletop.
1 HS too bad.

But finally, i found a bot that please me and i send it to elbite, you'll discover it when the match will start. But, promised, this is not a slow bot with big hammer on its front !

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** October 15, 2008, 02:04:19 PM »

Piglets for drive = fail.

Also LOL at your drums.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2008, 02:06:23 PM »

agreed. your alot better off with even copals for drive.

Reier · « **Reply #19 on:** October 21, 2008, 03:11:55 PM »

I Like this bot, but I decided against it:

Tabletop:

I'm going to enter a bot that can do WAY more damage.
