I know that Mad's sz pack is in the components part of the downloads section, and those all weight just 0.1 kgs each.

Well guys, click said what size bracket he was doing from the beginning and it filled up. It's our loss that we weren't on the ball like we should have been. I don't see anyone else around here hosting a 32 person bracket, let alone a 64. You need to take into consideration all the effort it would take to AI 64 bots, record hundreds of matches, etc. Believe me, I'm bummed out that I forgot too. But look at it from click's POV.

Best point of the entire argument. I have officially switched to the 32 bot bracket side, for the sake of getting this tourney up and going. Click does so much for us already.

Not to say that I didn't want to enter....

We all want to enter though. Exactly the problem.

well,but the deadline isnt up yet, is it? when you do homework for school, do you turn it in 2 months early? or the due date?
.

Not two months, but it gets started earlier. In case a deadline comes quicker than expected, and you need it. Because if it is done quickly, then you are ready for whenever it is due.

I think that it would be interesting to see an AI of a one-wheeled bot

a good vet, unless they have a bot ready and made, will spend all the time he can on a good bot for BBEANS.

If a good vet was smart like all of us "noobs", then the good vet would have started working on their bot when the tourney was announced nearly 2 months ago, and had gotten it in to secure their spot. I spent a month on my bot. It takes nearly 5 minutes of loading to get into the bot lab to look at it. It took me nearly a month and around 7 or 8 revisions, and it was done before registration opened. If a "good vet" really wanted to be in this tourney, then a "good vet" would have built their bot earlier, knowing that it is a prestigious tourney. That it has always been allowed for everybody to compete. That there has been more and more users on the forums lately.

This is not the Olympics. This is a game.

This is not a real life tourney, it is a game.

And in this game, the rules are different than a real life tourney.

Any good vet who didn't get their bot in. It is their fault. They were slow in getting their bot in, and they lost out. It is nobody's fault but theirs. And those "good vet"s or others who didn't make it in need to suck it up and accept that they were too slow. Guys, you had two months. Not working on it during that time is like asking to not compete.

Make it like the Gauntlet in Robot Wars, where it is every bot in 1 event, then every bot in the next, and so on.

It wasn't AIed, because you could see the numbers for the hits.

I can't, because most of the ones I build do that glitch where the collision mesh messes up, so I can't figure out if they are good or not.

I really should have tested SS3 before I sent it in.

Also, I think that:
You shouldn't use the angle connectors, they waste weight.
The chained HPZs might be a bad idea, because I can easily see this bot as a grinder with the plows, and the HPZs slow down after one hit.

Don't forget that through Youtube we could probably get Barbie and Phlox.

But it is up to Click.
He did warn us.
And Oggie wins the best new user award for not even having to ask people before sending his bot. Good Job!

I would be one of the first to reserve a spot in the tourney. It is a great idea.
The points could work easily
(For 10 bot tourney)
1st: 10 points
2nd: 9 points
etc.
On all of them. Based on time.
