As I have a sneaking suspicion this one will get through I had a look through the reps.
Good lord. I was going to use ziggo but all I'd have would be 3 battlebots motors and a baseplate anchor,

1) Use wegame, that's what I use.
2) Surely you could ai all the robots using rammer/pusher ai? Just copy and paste the line, change a few of the values like which way it faces and the name and bam, done.

Post-Mortem:
Now, I will be the first to admit that there were some problems straight off the bat. First off, me limiting myself to 4 matches/week at most is a terrible, terrible idea. And having to get them all out on one day w/ splash so I could keep it to a Saturday update to allow it to be simple didn't help either. Please note I have to go to work at midday on Saturdays so I had to make the splash, record, upload and update the thread all in the morning while I was doing other stuff. I usually wake up at 10 so sometimes it was a bit of a rush. I couldn't even create a backlog of videos I could post as X might update their robot.
I felt interest from people dwindled as the tourney went on, possibly people felt "Ugh, is this still on?". For example, when I said "notify me asap so I could continue quicker", only 1 person did that consistently, (Thanks, MikeNCR). As this tourney was slightly more involved than others, some people seemed to forget that. It almost seems like I might as well have not bothered with the updating lark. The fact that 11/16 bots didn't update their robot once and that 3/4 bots in the final were untouched I feel that sort of backs my point up.
On the bright side, I am somewhat happy with the shuffling teams aspect and how the splashes turned out. Rather than me having to make one complicated bracket.
Have some fun facts!
-The people with the most changes were Somebody, S_M, Ty4er, all with 3 changes.
-3/4 people in the final didn't change their robot throughout the tournament, clearly going by the old addadge "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
-11/16 people didn't change their robot throughout the whole tournament.
-2 people changed twice (090901 and Hard bot).
-There was never a match full of updated bots.
-I wish I knew about the f10 key in round 1.
If you guys could take the time to fill out my small questionnaire, it would be much appreciated. Just to see if i'm being to hard on the tourney, if we all think the same thing, or if i'm just flatout wrong.
What did you think about being able to change your robots inbetween rounds? (Do you think it was a gamebreaker/a waste of time etc):
What did you think about the 1 week gap to change your bot between rounds? (Too long/pointless etc):
What did you think about teams shuffling between rounds? (Do you think it confused things/didn't work etc):
Would you enter a Tag Team Tussle tournament is there was another?:
Anything else?:

I would like to thank anyone who entered the tourney. I'll draw more conclusions after I've got some responses to the questionnaire, but, for now. I hosted a tourney and it didn't fail utterly! And i'm happy with that.

I would like to thank anybody who helped in the matter. Such a shame it had to mar an otherwise alright tourney.
I shall put an awards/post mortem thread up later. As I feel there were some aspects which were far from perfect.

Bull. You only changed it because we won.
Nope. S_M and Badnik had not lost before that in the winners bracket. As per normal rules of a double bracket tourney, they have to lose twice. So I had to redo it.

DP: Rematch now up. We have a winner. Now THAT was teamwork. Well done S_m and Badnik.

Rematch uploading now.
2713
« on: May 28, 2011, 01:53:50 PM »
Well, time for our rematch. I assume we can change our bots right?
I did say earlier that the rematch would be filmed straight after if needed. Although, i'm pretty sure if Green machine goes for Scrap's bot then you and badnik would stand a chance.

Final is up. Videos>Upper Bracket>Final Well, I don't think Badnik and S_M wanted their bots to attack who they did.

Just recorded it. Uploading now
OOH THE TENSION

After 3 tourneys have ended isn't it?
My tourney has about 1 match left and Ra2tc is coming along nicely so I don't think you'll be waiting too long :P
