Containment Cube
« on: August 14, 2011, 08:16:00 PM »
Sorry for disappearing for the last 2 weeks - I was gone on a trip all last week, and I thought I would have time to check the forums and keep up on Ironbot while I was gone, but I actually didn't.
 
But I did get the arena for Ironbot finished when I got back Friday/Saturday!
 

 
This is the Containment Cube.  It's about the size of the Combat Arena, and completely enclosed (no OOTA zones here), so it should be comfortably familiar to you all.  However, if you're used to driving over the saws and spikes in the Combat Arena with impunity... get un-used to it.
 

 
These hazards do not mess around.
 

 
There's a hammer in one wall and a vertical blade in the other.  They're powerful enough to pose a real threat, but not so powerful that getting hit once will necessarily be game-changing (getting hit three times might be, though).  Then there's the spikes along the walls which pushers can slam bots into.  HS's should be especially wary of the spikes, as hitting them with a high-speed spinner can really hurt.
 
When hazards are turned off, the hammer and the blade sit flush with the wall to create a seamless surface like they're not even there.  The spikes do damage whether hazards are on or off, however.  (If you want a plain box with no hazards at all, just use the Combat Arena.)
 
You can download the arena here:
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/cube.zip
 
And if you open the .py, and find the parts that are commented out with "Ironbot stuff", and uncomment them, you can limit the match length (in a way... actually it just disables both bots) to 30 seconds for Ironbot testing.

I lol'd at ACAM's mom.
Nice arena though!
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Arena looks suitably epic. I do like the high audience, it gives it a real sense of total enclosure and no escape.

Unlike the BBEANS arena, this is meant as a generic arena that can be reused for other tournaments, similar to the RA2T2 arena or the Small Arena.  So yes, you can use it for another tournament.

Clickbeetle - Uses Special Ability : Subtle But Obvious Taunt
ACAMS - Morale Failure : Berserk
ACAMS - Uses Special Ability : Banhammer
Clickbeetle - Death

Kidding :P

Anyways, looking pretty good Click. I'm glad I have entered a wedge, seems more fitted to this arena than a non-wedge. Though I doubt the hazards will matter a lot in my fights, 'cause the probability of my bot ramming a 36HS into the hammer is pretty slow.

If he is, make sure he points it at the right person... that is J's bot that he tried to enter for my April Fools BBEANS tournament.   ;)   Thought I'd give it some screen time here since it won't be competing in Ironbot.

I have never heard of speed being used to describe probability. :P


Anyways, that arena look awesome. It is nice to finally have some hazards that pose an actual threat to the robots.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I Played in it and it was great. Thought the Vertical Blade was going to be bigger though.
