General Support / AIing

« on: November 05, 2008, 03:57:26 PM »

I'm having trouble AIing a paticular robot. This robot has both a flipper, and two grinding discs. However, even when a robot goes into the Smartzone, it won't flip. Everything is wired up correctly though, as the robot self-rights when flipped.
I know it's probably to do with having both a disc and a flipper, so is there any way to use both.
If it helps, here is the AI binding
 list.append(("MPF","Omni",{'invertible':False,'nose':math.pi,'radius':0.1,'range':30,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':3,'weapons':(12,13,14,15)}))

Ignore the spaces in that. I don't have a clue why they're there, as it's not like that when I edit it.

General Support / Game corruption

« on: November 01, 2008, 05:52:37 AM »

Something extremely odd is happening to my game. Twice now my teams have been corrupted after the game crashes.
Both times I was testing out my new middleweight (the one in the showcase) in a competition, which crashed after I won. When I loaded the game back up, all the teams below the one that the middleweight was in was gone. You could still go in, but there was no name, no motto, no logo and no robots, although strangely enough, the robots were still there in the teams folder, but the Teams file was completely messed up.
Anyone know why this happened and what I can do to prevent it happening again?

DSL TC Showcases / Eh, my showcase

« on: October 31, 2008, 03:48:56 AM »

Finally made a showcase; my robots aren't all that great which has put me off making one, but I might as well.

This is Frazzle 2, a remake of one of my first spinners.
Pros: It can still spin upsidedown
Cons: Its weapon breaks to easily and doesn't cause enough damage
Anyone know what I should replace them with?

Discussion / FRA

« on: May 29, 2008, 04:52:10 PM »

Just thought I'd let you guys know about my Youtube RA2 series. It's not an AI tournament (although I'm considering that), it's just a competition between my robots and the DSL robots. It's 16 heats long, set out like Series 7 of Robot Wars. It's currently in it's fourth season, with this season being the first to be recorded
Enjoy!









Ps:
Don't criticise my robots, or give me advice to improve them please ^_^
I'd make a showcase if I wanted that xP

Discussion / Your hilarious RA2 experiences

We've all had them. Fights that have hilarious outcome.
Personally, I usually save pictures of when this happens, so I have a whole folder full of them.
(going to have to make multiple posts because of the image limit
Well ain't this awkward
This was when I'd only just got the game and made a full bodied spinner. Tornado drove on top of me and we both got stuck on the pit.

HEEEEELP! I'M DROWNING
A glitch happened somehow when I was playing with WBC in the testing zone


Acrobot
I was facing off against Critical Emergency here. Suddenly, there was a havoc explosion and I exploded into the wall, but I just about managed to somehow land on it and stay balanced. Two seconds later, CE shot past me out of the arena. Storm II never fell out.


I know you're hungry, but really...
Not so funny, but amusing. The fridge fell into the pit after bouncing off the top of Behemoth
