Whaaat? I thought R4 and seism were still good bots!

they are still pretty good robots but both were among the oldest in BBEANS5...

its really surprising they haven't really been caught until after BBEANS

Seism 13 was ahead of its time. FB actually built it and showcased it long before BBEANS5, on the old Atari forums, back when he did a lot of building. AFAIK there weren't any other popups with the solid row of 5-6 ram plates in front until after BBEANS5.

Anyways, the corners on your popup look exposed. You should try to scoot the edge ram plates out so they cover the corners. The corners always get hit first by HS's.

Is there AI for Hot Wheels anywhere?

Code: [Select]

list.append(("Hot Wheels","Popup",{'NoChassisTime':2,'range':500,'radius':1.0,'topspeed':130,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':3.1,'weapons':(44,45,)}))

:D

Thanks. *goes to bot exchange* Now I have something better than NWB to test against.

You should angle down your ramplates against HS. 45 degrees is a good value IMO.

@Click: Why doesn't FB stick around and build much anymore?

NFX · « **Reply #185 on:** November 15, 2010, 08:05:24 PM »

Because he's making awesome secret mods and lolcomponents. =P

Too busy with college, I'm guessing. For some reason he's always gotten way more homework than me.

Ahem... [/offtopic]

Now I have something better than NWB to test against.

Code: [Select]

list.append(("Nuclear Fallout","Popup",{'nose':math.pi,'radius':1,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':4,'weapons':(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,)}))

Now you have something even better.

I've bothered to make a compact, snapper loaded, stacked popup, and the wedges are rubbish.
Thats really annoying :P

3 Blacks (2 stacked)
4 ddts
4 HPZs with rubbers
4 Ramplates

Kept on trimming the chasis down & down, untill I got that. Didn't realise it looked like hot wheels untill I'd finished XD
Oh, and any advice on the wedges?

NFX · « **Reply #192 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:20:05 AM »

BALLAST.

Nice work on the compactness, by the way. But only 8 razors?

Vertigo · « **Reply #193 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:21:34 AM »

I thought formaximum effectiveness, it was supposed to be only 4 per DDT
According to Sage anyway

Pwnator · « **Reply #194 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:22:39 AM »

Lawl it looks so cute :3

Shame about the wedges, though.

Vertigo · « **Reply #195 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:24:55 AM »

Is there any way to guarantee good wedges, because I've never built a bot (despite all the glitches), that can get under both seism & R4?

NFX · « **Reply #196 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:31:16 AM »

In truth, no. It's really much of a guessing game. If you angle the wedges so that the ends of the Small Wedge components are JUST one or two clicks below the baseplate, then that helps, in my experience.

Vertigo · « **Reply #197 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:42:55 AM »

Thanks,just tried that, and the wedges are much better now! It gets under both seism & R4!

NFX · « **Reply #198 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:44:27 AM »

YAY. Congrats. =P k343 has a link to Click's Mythbusters topic in his sig, IIRC, that helped a bunch with my wedges as well.

Vertigo · « **Reply #199 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:56:37 AM »

It just got under hot wheels :D
