 Rules-Ironforge MW (Excluding smartzones and ballasts, 125.0 to 200.0) -DSL-S building style, standard DSL-S ruleset (no AAM, BFE, Hax mode etc) -Unlimited entries (max 2 per person) -Bracket format will be GTMCS style. -Vaporzone, 3 minute fights, hazards off -I can AI, but not very well, I strongly suggest you AI your bot yourself. -I reserve the right to decline a bot for ANY reason, and I will do so if a bot is going against the spirit of the rules. -No meltybrain, or custom .py's -TRFBDs, SnS and crawlers are banned -No custom components that do not come with a fresh IF install, this includes skinned components -1 havok restart per match per bot, any further havoks count as a round loss. -Bots may not be updated after the first match has been recorded, except AI tweaks or skin changes - Bots may not have a wedge. This includes chassis wedges, where the chassis wedge is intended to allow gutripping. Don't try to find a loophole in this rule, I will decline any bot that tries to circumvent it. -Signups last for however long i feel like ayy lmao.

But wouldn't the sns be counted out?
I think it just spins until the timer starts, then it moves forward when it starts to get counted out. They almost always get hit by then anyways.

I'm surprised NLoad pulled that off after getting obliterated by your bot the first time. wedges mmmmm fun.
nice bot chief.
really nice tournament man
Cheers, and gratz on the win. I don't think it was the wedges in this, I think I just ****ed up my AI really badly. Nevertheless, gratz on the win, well deserved! How long should I wait to post an awards thread?

FPS netcode is relatively simple. In very very basic terms, you only need the player position, what direction they're facing and their velocity (of course there are more factors, but I cba to list more. Its not extremely complex.) The game client can extrapolate almost all of the rest. Due to the physics engine in RA2, there are few things that can be extrapolated, so a vasy amount of information must be sent, including the position, connections, hp and velocity of EVERY component on each bot. And all this needs to be updated at least 16ish times per second.
Modern FPS with sophisticated lag compensation code starts to really struggle over 100 ping.

im just hyped we can drive bots for said tournament. ai tourneys just dont have the same kick man
Unless they pull off some netcode wizardry, its gonna lag or desync to sh** for UK vs USA or other high ping matches. Also scheduling.

I can't see much from that picture. The burst motor for the hammer should technically be attached to the burst motor for the flipper, else idk if it counts. Also, vertical clamps don't start closed,

Now, I'm not the type of person to throw the word "cancerous" around, as it is a horrific disease, but that's exactly what this thread is right now- a horrific disease.
but is it a clamp

that's hilarious.
You might want to work on cropping your screenshots (pm me if you don't know how). Also try angling the extender holding the motor forward a bit, so the motor is ahead of the chassis.

Because, while that style of clamp is cool and what I think TRB is going for, it's impossible to achieve with an AI-controlled bot.
just place a smart zone in front of where the clamp part is and that will trigger it to open and then grab onto a bot, people have done it before.
Doesn't work for long bots, the timing has to be perfect and if it loses grip (which it will do because burst clamps in this style are weak AF) it can't re-clamp unless the immobility countdown timer starts and both bots move away from each other.

why does everyone think that a clamp has to be a vertical clamp a la complete control? are bots like tough as nails suddenly not clamps anymore? if those are the starting positions for the arms and the arms open up when fired then its a clamp.
Because, while that style of clamp is cool and what I think TRB is going for, it's impossible to achieve with an AI-controlled bot. TRB, I just posted the type of clamp these people are asking for in my ironforge showcase. I can sent you the .bot file if you want to have a closer look or still don't understand how they work.

nice
sure you don't want those top clamps a bit longer though?
I could do, but it works fine as-is, I'm already tight on weight (armour is only PL3 and lighter wedges makes them average) and I wouldn't want to make it too top-heavy

It's not really cheating if you showcase it.
You got loads of empty space in there, and not much protection from gutrippers. and you have more than 250kg for extra weapons/drive/wedges/protection.
And it's not a clamp in the RA2 sense. Still a hammer.

  Pretty sure wedge effectiveness is tried to chassis shape in at least some capacity. I've made like 3 bots with this chassis and the wedges have been good with all of them, but with this bot it outwedges basically everything I throw at it, which is nice.

I think I understand. Does anyone have a link to a clamp type bot, so I can see how a clamp works properly?
Dude, that's a side hammer. If you want to know how a clamp works look at this page.

Did you even read that page. Are you serious. Not only does it display a clamp, it shows how it works, and gives links to 4 or 5 clamp bots.
