SkAI High
« on: December 30, 2010, 03:00:13 PM »

Recently, I've noticed a that generally, flippers are becoming fairly generic. Every LW flipper looks EXACTLY the same, and at the minute, flippers are being ignored in the major DSL mods, such as NAR AI.

So I therefore give you... SkAI High (name is a pun on "Sky High", fitting AI into the phrase)

I plan to make a small, flipper-based mod, consisting of just 15 teams to begin with, to try and increase originality in flipper building in DSL
It will consist of remakes of the 15 teams from stock, Red Zone, PREHISTORIC ect. I am doing this to force original building.
I will accept teams from anyone, but I will advise on how to improve, and slihtly modify bots to improve performance (at the discresion of the original builder). I will be happy for people to make a team with other members.

Red Zone - Vertigo
PREHISTORIC - G.K.
The Good Ol' Boys - yoda9726
Team Dragon - Scorpion
BLACK STORM - Squirrel_Monkey
Team Spark - Vertigo
Spike Heads - Vertigo
North Polers - Vertigo
HIGH VOLTAGE - SKBT
Team HEX - king mushroom
Team Z - Badnik96
SteelYard Dog - king mushroom
RIOT - Naryar
METAGON - FOTEPX
The Scrappers - Scrap Daddy
The Rookies - king mushroom
Robot Arena Reincarnated - Squirrel_Monkey

The Teams will consist of:
 - Remakes of the 3 (LW, MW & HW) stock bots
 - Three bots of your choice (LW, MW, HW or SHW), they must be flippers!

I will not accept AW, BW or UHW (AW & BW are too light for flippers to be made effectively, and UHWs are too big & laggy)

Arena List:
 - DSL Tourney Arena
 - Electric Arena 2
 - Epic Showdown Arena
 - Kenzorg IGC
 - Lu Tze's RA2T2 Arena
 - Ring Arena
 - Robot Wars Arena
 - Clawtop
 - Flextop
 - DSL Lava Island Arena
 - DSL Obstacle Course Arena
 - Hill Top Arena
 - LumaZone

Arenas I would like to use:
 - BBEANS v2 Arena (With permission from Clickbeetle)
 - Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena (With permission from GK)

Yes, I am hoping that having to re-build Grog the Warrior as a flipper will increase originality :P

Great! Pick a team to build if you'd like

OK, I will have...

Red Zone Damn
Spark Damn
Hex Damn

Hey, why has vertigo got 3! Could I do Spark anyway, since you have 3!
If not, I will do... Steel Yard Dog.

A while back I turned all the XTRA bots into flippers too, want those as-well?

Fine

Any at all.

Yes, hybrids are fine, as long as the flipper is still the main weapon

I never said you couldn't choose more than one :P
Anyway, I chose those three because I've already built updates for bots in those teams

Oh, and those Xtra bots would be great!

I'll have any random team you want done.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

1) Not yet, I want the primary teams done first You are fine to add your havok bots in the extra bots in each team though
2) Choose one, or I'll randomize
