All Round Bot Builder Championship SBV

[R1885]

I didn't expect such a clean sweep, though Ginger Ale gets to be useless as it should be.

[Philippa]

Predicting I'll lose either 4-1 or 5-0 against Pwn, not holding much hope.

[Virus Bomb]

well ribbs trashed me 


i should be able to beat rob collins' team. might lose to mystic though if that hw's wedges are better than mines.

[Fracture]

I really like these matches. I want to take a moment to show some appreciation for you, ian; this is the most exciting tournament I've seen in a while. You're handling your job as the host really well and bringing the Stock community back together, so thank you!

Thanks Fratcure, happy to see you guys enjoying a stock tournament again  .

First bonus match will be the HW ultimate rumble. I'm about to randomize the entry list, whatever position your bot gets will be it's entry number in the match.

Should I show the entry numbers or keep it a surprise like the royal rumble match in wrestling, where you don't know who will come in next?

[Merrick]

Wait, there's a loser bracket? And I'm up against Scrap Daddy? OH WELL TIME TO LOSE AGAIN.

Surprise. But what do I know?

[ianh05]

The HW Ultimate Rumble is up!

Most the match has no lag but there is some serious lag in one or two spots.

[Probably Rob]

How lucky was Triumph? Jesus, hah.

[ianh05]

Not lucky enough 

[ianh05]

Updated the tournament splash and Venko's team splash (for the videos) with new preview pics that actually show his robots, it will also be better for people when I release the AI pack.

[Clickbeetle]

So how did you AI my VS? It just drove at my opponent backwards and ran away as soon as it faced his bot

I'm guessing the "Srimech" control is wired to the drive.  You can make AI that self-rights by driving backwards, but you need a special .py to get it to stop.  10000V somersaulted on the first hit, which triggered the srimech drive for the rest of the match.  This should be fixed for future matches, if not by using a new .py, then at least by getting rid of that srimech control.

How on Earth did Plinkyde last that long?  This might be the overall winner of the rumble.

[ianh05]

I will get rid of the Srimech on S_M's LW before the next round if that is the case.

Grats to S_M and Phenomo.........2 for winning the HW Ultimate rumble, not too sure which bot lasted longer between Plinkyde and 36 Fangs but they both did very well.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Wait, I skipped to the end and couldn't even see my bot, then I saw it was that tiny little box. :D

[ianh05]

Your LW should now be fixed S_M it was wired to drive backwards as a srimech.

[Philippa]

Surprised at how long it took to get rid of me. Congrats to SM.

[Venko]

Let's just hope, that my extreme bad luck will end in the next round 

[Merrick]

Amazed that Phenomena last that long in the rumble.

And yes, that's my heavyweight, not Phenomenomnomnomnom or whatever S_M called his. Not confusing at all. xD

[Wolfsbane]

Damn, I think I lasted the longest.
