I'm going to release the brackets in a couple of days when I finish work experience, but for now, I am going to give answers to a few of the questions I have.
And where did my HW's distractionbot go?
I never got it in time. While my timing was bad, I could have accepted the minibot around 1 week over the final deadline at the maximum, but this was 2 weeks over. That, and Paladin is already OP without a minibot made.

Eta on bracket announcements?
I'll try to get them up at Friday, 17:00 at my timezone. No guarantee, though.

All these flying robots made me remember ya main main and local ISIS sleeper agent apanx posting this on the discord chat all the way back in October, any chance of you using this?

Believe it applies to AI/_init_.py
I'll make sure to put that in before I start the filming of the videos. Thanks. :3

And now, its about time I reveal the arena, shan't I? The arena I have kept under wraps throughout this tournament's lifespan?

It's time.

The arena...

That will be used...

is...



THE ROBOGAMES ARENA!!!

And let's be blunt here, ADOTIRL Tournament doesn't have a ring to it in all fairness. Let us change that.

This tournament is now under its true name at last. And honestly? It's about time...

Who gave you the arena.

It was Daleksec7. He knocked up The Cage and a couple of other arenas, as Shunt and Matilda.

I'm aware of a few of the old team still churning some stuff out for personal use. If another DSL happens then they'll probably end up being added to that but for now they're keeping their head low.

I spy RW mod parts...
I'm not fussed to be honest, as long as there's some credit hovering around to us.

Re-Bronco, since you've already made a start, pinch the HW burst hinge from the mod and the invisible flippers and you'll be able to do the short burst of pure powah ect.

Either way keep going and keep learning, it's always nice to see people are still trying to keep the game alive.

Oh aye the announcer thinks Amnesia is called Insomnia half the time, it does me head in.

Advice on building feathers err.... Basically it's easier to get something going than you'd think. Always start simple, like build a 2wd rambot. There's less to go wrong and if my pile of rubbish can do well then it proves such a simple works!

A month ago I made a slight modification to Amnesia, it now has a multi use lifter/flipper. It works like Firestorm and Polar Vortex because of how the weapon pivots, so! It should be able to get an oota... In theory!
I gave the weapon a thorough test at Reading and it caused a bit of hell, mainly by driving under the floor lel. But in the last feather fight of the weekend the belt snapped. So! The new Amnesia will probably have a chain driven weapon and a lower pivot.



A small demonstration of how the weapon works...

We never said if we are releasing it or not.  ;)

I made the arena a while ago for Click and he's got the hazards working ect, it's up to him what he does with it.

The video is really to cause a stir if anything, I guess it worked!

Bio - The beginning and post Robot Wars
About time a thread was made on our antics, the team was first founded when we entered Tanto in the Robot Wars Pilot between Matt Pearman, Craig Croucher, Jack Tweedy and myself.  Each of us having a few years experience under our belts as individual roboteers. (me with the least hah) Since RW Craig and Tweedy have went on to be Team Nebula leaving Pearman and myself.

FRA 2016 Featherweight World Championships
Last week we both competed at the FRA 2016 Featherweight World Championships as a team with two new robots, Matt driving 'Surveyor' and myself with 'Amnesia.' It was a brilliant event all in all and we had plenty of help from roboteers all round and helping others in return. You kind of forget that you're all enemies in the arena!

'Surveyor' managed to get through the qualifiers with 7 points ripping off No Toy's axe in the process, but lost in the melee to decide who went through to rounds. 'Amnesia' managed to get through the qualifiers on 8 points, and went on to pit 'Minimoth', 'Loki 2' and 'Omega' in the rounds (somehow) and finally lost to 'Django' in the semi final and breaking down in the playoff against 'Beauty 2'... But avoided getting flipped at all! It was a very jammy performance and it wouldn't have gotten so far if it wasn't for Matt Pearman, Sam Price and Jarvis Callister, the latter of which has also now joined us on our Immersive team antics!

The videos of our fights are in this playlist:

Next event on the list for us is Burgess hill with the Beetleweights, hope to see some of you there!

Had a brilliant time with the lads, meeting everyone and just being part of it. Need more practice in the team captain & post match interviews haha.

Shane Swan who built Envy is a really nice guy and fun to crack on with but we aren't able to include it in the mod no matter what either of us want because of reasons we can't disclose. And that's all we can say on the subject. Envy's chassis was rebuilt into the rear hinged (and overweight) Air as seen in the 2013 Robots Live Europian championship. It's now long since deceased, a new Air was built but sold on and renamed to 'Thunderchild'... I think!

What Mr AS said regarding flippers. That's the reason why the flippers are so powerful. The lower powered flippers use the same custom burst but using the maximum specs achievable in the game without ha okay occurring. So the modern flippers need multiple bursts to replicate the power appropriately.
Also it is still relatively realistic for the robots to self right after losing their flippers. They can self right in real life from firing the pneumatic ram! There's a clip of Ripper in Australia where it demonstrates this quite well.

Rhys746, All British flippers use Co2 (Unless Mentorn want to do a publicity stunt and convert a robot to Nitrogen again) Chaos 2's flipper could through robots about 1ft at most above the lip of the flipper at best. To put it in perspective to modern flippers, Iron Awe 7 flipped Toxic  ( I think) 12ft in the air.
Chaos 2 isn't a scratch on modern flippers to put it bluntly and I think everyone will get a fright when they see a good hit/flip on the new show.

Whey, Team effort! Cheers Click really appreciate the help you've been giving us. ;)
As for dropzone clutter, if there's anything juicy you don't have the time to knock up... Let me know!

Balls are fun but they could cause lag from the polygons, hmm. I can sort out the empty RW barrels they had in pinball you could lump a few together for that.

As for Golem being a hazard, annoyingly we'd need permission for that, but you could include that as a DSL exclusive. ;)

The arena that came with the mod is a fiddled/fixed version of Lu-Tze's. Still not up to scratch, hence the new one!

And yeah if you want to show a few teasers, be my guest!


RedAce, I made the arena for the expansion but it would've literally been a box with oota zones and pit. And that's what you see in the teaser. Clicks doing the fancy important stuff that I'm too thick to work out how to do like hazards!

Hmm... Do we include our new Robot Wars 2016 entry or not?  ;)

Yeah no it won't be there :P

Yeah don't want to cause problems with Mentorn and best to keep it a surprise. But hey ho, you may never know, Mr AS might include it with his mod upgrades later in the year. ;)

With the combined force of Craig and Tweedy, I suppose anything is possible.

What about me? I'm the Captain of Team Immersion haha.  :gawe:

The two most lovable members of the RW mod team are entering. ;)

Our entry may or may not be in the mod, you'll have to look for it first though.
