I don't want to know what Silver Dream Machine was doing to Cooler than Conraa 

[Clickbeetle]

That was some quick filming.

DRUMBLEBEE

WAT R U DOING

YOU HAD HIM ON THE DRUM AND YOU TURNED AROUND AND LET HIM GO

Really close match, though... if you're going to lose, that is the way to go about it.  Also, Pwnator and his crazy hammer/HS hybrid is the one to lose against.

Looking at next round, I think I can beat either 090901 or Lightning S, but it won't be a 5-0.  Personally hoping for Lightning so Thwartoise can actually get a standard HS it can show around.

I will be the first to admit that the bots I entered aren't my greatest work. With that said I am hoping for the best, lets see if keeping it simple works out for me. Also Im loving how fast that filming was, 

[Philippa]

Woo. Good match, Ian.

[Venko]

090909109109101 will know now, why is important to wire your bots and test them...

trov = surprise entry?

I was thinking more of ClickB...

I guessed right, so you can add my team in the GUI too 

Nice work on the matches Ianh, but it seems that you have a video card lag (not to be mistaken with the havok CPU lag).

I should entered with a better bots (something from the secret folder), seeing the opposition now, I'm totally screwed up.

Also, my HW is "Insect v2" (showcased), my MW is "MW-MidF" (showcased), my LW is a lame SnS, my BW is the worst BW on the world (it will never win) and my AW is a lame clone of "AW-IBK" (from SC3) but with an extra razor from a plastic.

My predictions :
        V      mr.AS
AW      ~            depend on the luck
BW      <            definitely
LW      ~            depend on the AI
MW     >             probably
HW     ~             highly depend on the lucky hits

The bots on the main menu UI will be decided by either a vote after the tournament or will be awarded to the bots who win their weights ultimate rumble match. Was the lag that noticeable? I might have to down the resolution once more.

Round 2 is next up! I want to give Inf and Sage some time to get teams in (if they want) but they will only partake in the bonus matches (Ultimate rumbles) and they will feature in the AI pack.

*EDIT*

Venko's team:


Now you can predict matches better :) also it's funny that one of the couple of bots who can beat Venko's HW is MR.AS' SnS and Venko's first match is against him.

I know, I always don't have a good luck in the tournaments with the opponents, Seism, etc.

BTW, my bots have a cool gold armour shine.

Was the lag that noticeable? I might have to down the resolution once more.

Dunno if the big video recording resolution or the game resolution cause this. It's not that annoying, I just have a very good eyes for such a things. Also : CPU Havok lag = the frames are slowed down but no frameskipping ; videocard lag = there are some missing frames (some of the action between the lag is missing). But it's not that bad, keep everything as is.

[ianh05]

I noticed the lag while I was recording and some of the video files split because of it, I have had the same problem before and lowering the resolution helped.

[Venko]

P.S. : Although, I have my doubts about the "legit-ness" of the mr.AS HW SnS. It's not a pure static SnS like mine LW, but more like of a HS/SnS hybrid (he have a HS already), so I find it kinda unfair... A cheap way to have a 2 powerful HSs.

I knew this would come up, so let me explain why I allowed it. The SnS is meant to be differently set up compared to a normal HS, the wheels are usually more exposed and weapons/motors vulnerable where a traditional HS is more compact.

I will need to be more clear next time around if there is an ARBBC2.

[Venko]

The SnS is meant to be differently set up compared to a normal HS, the wheels are usually more exposed and weapons/motors vulnerable where a traditional HS is more compact.

Still a loophole. So basically, you say, if I put on my HW-MidF a wider wheelbase and make him spin on circles instead of going forward, its a SnS, and I still can enter with MW-MidF? Not convincing enough arguments.

Anyway, it's too late, and there is no need for changes or screwing up this entry. Just pay more attention to the details in future. See my tons of nazi rules for NvsF for example.

[ianh05]

Your weapon motors and weapons would need to be further outside also.

So, Jupiter from SC3 is not a SnS then. FAIL again 

[ianh05]

Nope it's a FBS 

[Venko]

FBS=SnS
Since both bodys are fully sit and spining...
The AI spins them both in the same way...
 

[ianh05]

For me it's:

FBS = Static weapons around the chassis with bot spinning.
SnS = Static or spinning weapons outside the chassis with bot spinning.
HS = Spinning weapons inside or outside the chassis with drive inside the chassis.
HS/SnS hybrid = Spinning weapons inside or outside the chassis with drive inside the chassis with bot spinning.

Full body spinner means weapons all around the chassis.

I will show you sometime one bot that is actually a SnS, but accordingly to your rules it's a HS , and it's not.

[Pwnator]

lawl totally knew the aw's a dud but that hw match looked like a fluke imo

BTW, is it okay if the AI of my BW be changed from Omni to Rammer?

[Merrick]

I don't want to know what Silver Dream Machine was doing to Cooler than Conraa 

It felt the love. Were you not feeling it?

Can't believe I came within one hit of winning that match. 

[Probably Rob]

*Shrug*
I ain' even mad.
