Tournament Archives / Re: I Fought The Law - SBVA« on: July 07, 2017, 12:35:39 PM »
You all knew what you were signing up for when you entered this tournament. If you didn't read "I will restart 'unfair' fights" in the signups thread, don't assume it will happen. As far as I can tell, Shield has re-uploaded the actually problematic fight (the one that actual broke tournament hosting rules) and the tournament has no current problems which should prevent it from running, regardless of the fact that Neon may have an insurmountable lead.
Warnings will be handed out if things in this thread to continue stray away from the actual tournament because I don't want this to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure because people are constantly debating in this thread rather than posting things actually related to the videos Shield will be putting out. 123
Tournament Archives / Re: I Fought The Law - SBVA« on: July 07, 2017, 10:21:14 AM »Seriously, Weird Al, you could've just consolidated that post into "no".In truth no. You see, I never told Shield through a PM that I messed up on the bot design and wanted him to drive it. At the time I thought that this was going to be like numerous other tournaments when the Host was going to AI like every other tournament I enter up to that point, so out of common sense, I expected that Shield would AI the bot instead of him Driving it. Also, I never told Shield about these faults either in hope of keeping the problems to myself to learn from my building mistakes. So, your assumption is nothing more that just a slip up into thinking that Shield was driving the bot, but this was nothing more that just a few build faults that I kept quite.Nice essayFirst of all, I have a few points that needs to be clear up on Malleus and how it struggled to move before everyone decides on the "Shield is manually driving/rigging" the tournament conclusion that Geice and some other users had being pointing out. During when I was manually controlling Malleus in the test lab. Malleus show signs of having a large turning circle, the result of this was mainly due to the gyroscopic effect of the dual perms for Malleus' weapon. This isn't a problem when the weapon motor is off, but when I hold down the "Spin" button while turning the bot 45 degrees, a similar effect happen in vain to IRL bots similar to Sunshine Lollibot. Due to this, everytime when Malleus turned in large bursts such as turning 90 degrees sharply in any direction, the gyroscopic effect kicked onto one sides of the bot, allowing one of the law enforcement bot to easily get under Malleus and hitting Malleus around. Why Malleus struggled to move forward was heavily due to the position of the front plows and back, extender protection of the bot itself. If you looked carefully while watching the video, the front protection was completely low to the ground due to the Skirt hinge I used to put the extenders for the two front plows and the skirt backs, you did see that Malleus did move, but that only when the wheels were touching the ground and the plows weren't preventing the bot from moving forward from the plows being so low to the ground due to fears of having bots getting under Malleus. This may look like Shield wasn't moving the bot itself, but trust me if honestly wished to download the bot itself and tried to drive it, you'll see that the plows prevent the bot from moving far, unless the weapon motor was on and you have the drive moving forward. The same problem will occur even when you do drive it or AI the bot.Nice driving with Dark Al's bot.(Image removed from quote.) So, is there a particular reason Dark-Al's bot wasn't AI driven? 124

It just begs for people to say "nooo, you're awesome" and the people that do it bloody well know it. Nevertheless, good stuff, as always. 125

Oh yeah, must've skipped over them. I did say to everyone that is on the Discord to make sure to send their entries to me on GTM for archival purposes. This is what happens, you see.

Very important rule change based on the amount of entry freedom that I gave people in GMod. There's usually no cap on entries, however I would like to impose one so that this tournament doesn't get flooded by one person:
Each entrant may enter up to 3 bots in the main comp, up to 2 additional HWs for the Tag Team Terror and up to 2 BWs - This means you can enter up to 7 bots maximum (3 for the main comp, 2 for the Tag Team Terror if you're going solo and 2 for the BW comp). Your entry/ies for the main comp may be one or both of your entries for the Tag Team Terror. 138
