Good job so far Joe, will poke around and see if things work in regards to your coding, here and there.

So many batteries :O I'd probably throw out the middle four for another one of those huge bursts, but you may be at a power disadvantage then. What's the typhoon spike for?

HEHEHE......I can come up with a good one every once in a while....can't I?
Maybe so, but it doesn't alleviate the fact that you still probably think that Burgers grow on trees and that Coca-Cola comes from natural springs in Wyoming.
Are you crazy?

Expect new matches this week, I should be able to finish Round 1matches then. But It only gets better from here. All I can say is, Round 2 will be epic!

I figured so. That also reminds me, has anyone come up with an "Avoid" tactic? Like:
When a bot gets a high number of points, or when a bot has no more weapons, switch from attack to defence. Dodging engagement with the opponent.
I think it would be kind of cool to see. But it has to be possible since there is already an Engage tactic. Theoretically speaking.

I too agree, this code is pretty revolutionary. I can see this being used in the following ways:
I think, if possible, that this could be applied to other bot types as well.
Though I do believe that the later might not be possible atm.
- If bot with implemented code loses more than half of its weapons, slow down RPM in order to save battery life.
- If bot with implemented code loses more than half of its weapons, slow down RPM in order to prevent it from spinning offbalance.
I think, if possible, that this could be applied to other bot types as well.
- If flipper loses all "weapons" on its motors used for flipping, ignore trying to flip when enemy touches its smartzone and resort to trying to pin. Saving battery.
- If popup loses the "flipping components", ignore those motors and only use the weapons. Vise versa for the "weapon components".
Though I do believe that the later might not be possible atm.

You could try to put those wedges on snappers and then the weapons on DDTS. Snappers are just lovely. All that weight for the frontal armor could also be replaced so you can juggle around with that extra weight. Hmm have you tried thinking about replacing those with those 10kg Blades? Or maybe one plow that spans the front? Not exactly necessary, just some other things to think about in case you want some extra weight. Trying to get those brain juices flowing.

Hnrugh? Hold on.. We could sign up for multiple things in this competition? Or just one? I also don't want to occupy some elses chance in entering, but I am willing to enter another bot if need be.
Edit: Pretty excited to see the splash by the way!

« on: October 06, 2010, 05:09:33 PM »Not Macs, Mac OS X. The Windows audio stack is absolutely awful. It's laggy, complicated, and doesn't offer a lot of customization, and the only way to fix it is use ASIO everywhere, but not every piece of software / sound card supports it. Generally, if you don't have an ultra-expensive, 24bit sound card with specialized drivers, you're in deep sh** if you want to use your computer as a part of your recording studio.Not in everyone's case. Realtek is pretty good as far as audio/drivers go and its usually built into newer PC models. That being said, PCs have always been pretty weak in the multimedia department. But if your looking to play a good ol' game of Wow, Crysis, Call of duty, Halo, etc. Macs are rarely mentioned (mind you sound cards are also big with these games). Not that one is better than the other, High-end PCs offer things like renderablility and graphical simulation, High-end Macs provide things like design and multimedia. Of course there will be crossover cases and that's what makes computers so wonderfully competitive.
Buuutt back on topic.
