Jack, that is a beautifully constructed bot there. Might even bump my builders block.

I'll refrain from doing the loser bracket and therefore the grand champ too until I know if Joe is going to switch up the loser brackets or not, but here's how I think the tourney is going to shake down:
![]() Yes, I have LiNcK coming out of the winners bracket. Some bots are aided by great matchups, while others don't have favourable ones at all though, and that all plays a part in the results. Depending on the structure of the loser bracket, it's completely impossible to even guess a champion at this point. 486

It's still within the spirit of the realistic rule, so it's fine by me. Second, I don't like the method for following rules that you're postulating. Basically, what you're saying is that if a bot follows each individual rule, it can violate the rules as they are written out as a whole. This makes no sense! Isn't the purpose of having rules to make sure that nothing violates them in part or as a whole? 498

Glad you're back, but have you forgotten how good builders progress? I'm pretty sure we all started out with clones. I know I did. I'm pretty sure Scrap, Pwnator and others did too. Originality and creativity comes largely from experience with the game, knowing the boundaries that you can push and how to exploit glitches and techniques that can push them. Are RedAce's bots original? No, they're not. You're right. But he deserves some applause for being able to flat out build. Say what you will, but it's been quite a while since someone's come along and been able to clone bots from you, Starcore and others and make them as well as the originals. His originality will come in due time. --- Also, for the rest of you guys, Inf + Venko = NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. 499

Joe - I think that you should re-do who goes where in the loser bracket. As it is right now, there are no possible scenarios that bots on the right of the bracket will fight bots on the left of the bracket until a final. What you should do is alternate which side of the loser bracket that robots are placed into upon losing. For example: switch [loser 2-1] with [loser 2-16], [loser 2-2] with [loser 2-15] and so on. Only do this for loser rounds 2, 4 and 6 though.
This will eliminate the chances to losing to a bot in the first round, and then being knocked out of the tourney by the exact same bot in the next round, it will produce some more variation in matches, and reduce the chances of losing to a "bad draw." I'm fairly certain that Click does this to even a greater extent in BBEANS, and if you really wanted, I'd adapt his brackets just based on the structure of this tourney. Also, Urjak's bot IS unrealistic by definition of this tourney. Although nothing is in the portion of the chassis that is cut by the disk, in order for the bot to work, the portion being cut by the disc would have to be removed, therefore changing the shape of the chassis from a cube to a rectangular prism, which, BY YOUR OWN DEFINITION, renders it inelligible for any Clash Cubes tourney. But I don't really care because I think he loses to the first good gut-ripper he meets :P |
