Tournament Archives / some ideas for someone to pick from

« on: July 21, 2010, 09:01:59 PM »

I have a few ideas for some tourneys. Since I can't really host cuz i can't AI decently yet, I'll post them here and hope someone uses the ideas. I would also like to compete in them, so I figured it would be best to let a/some reputable hosts host them, if they want to. If I ever come up with more, I'll edit this post and add them on.

Ultimate Robot Build Off
You must make a required type of bot using only the allowed parts, some can be limited as to how many, and some may not be used at all. Each competition would equal so many points, and at the end of all the competitions, the tourney winner would would then have the most points. OR another way to do it is each bracket has to make the certain kind of robot, and the winner there moves on, where they will have to make another different type, until only 1 person is left.

North vs South (or some other name)
Everyone who enters either goes on the "North" or "South" team. Then, each person builds a bot. 1 "North" bot and 1 "South" bot (or 2 bots in a team match, 2 north and 2 south) compete against each other. Which ever team has the most bots left standing is the winning team.

Here Is Some More

Demolition Derby
Must make a rammer that uses a Power Steering Unit For Turning. All Bots compete against each other in a 4 bot bash. Each person then receives points for which position they come in, and at the end, one everyone has faced everyone at least once, the winner would be who ever accumulated the most points. Since this would mostly be AI based, it would be best if everyone who entered also do there own AI, which brings me to my next idea

AI tourney
Each person is given the same bot (or pick form some random bots, that using a standard AI for that type would make it a very challenging fight against another), and they must AI it the way they want to, so the AI is better. This could be done like the Ultimate Robot Build Off, just the bot is already provided for them to AI. Obviously, people who don't know how to AI would either have to learn so they enter, or don't enter at all.

Stock Showcases / My First Bot On Showcase

« on: July 20, 2010, 09:13:39 PM »

My first bot I would like to put on the showcase. The axe heads do not intersect the control board btw, just comes very close. If you would like better angles, i can get them, just say about where you would like.

O and any constructive criticism would be appreciated. I know I did not maximize weight, but what else should I add?

Also a name, right now its called Sal, and i have a horizontal spinner I'm working on called Sally. Those were just the first name that popped into my head.

Tournament Archives / I'm Thinking about starting a tourney, anyone wanna help

« on: July 17, 2010, 10:03:39 AM »

I am thinking about starting a tournament. I already have decided on rules and such. I even made a website for it. Basically all i need is someone to AI bots for people who don't want to/or cant (such as me)

I already have various screen capture programs, I will be trying to find the right one within the next few days.

Also, I might shrink it down from the current list of classes, unless i can get some major help on this tournament. The submission form is also currently being worked on too.

please tell me what you think of this, any helpful criticism would also be appreciated.


ka0scup.webs.com is the website, in case you didn't see the link.

Discussion / Hello...again

« on: July 12, 2010, 08:08:27 PM »

Hello, I was once a member here a long time ago. It seems my account must have been deleted because neither of my 2 main email addresses that I would have signed up for something was registered.  I had a very slow computer back then  , and RA2 could hardly run, so I moved on to other things. I now have a new PC, and have just installed RA2 again on it after going thru my software. It runs a lot better now.

Also, has anyone figured out how to make a Translational Drift bot, for an AI tournament??
