wat

that makes no sense at all

is the motorID code correct in bindings?

Looks to me like the hammers are too heavy relative to the bot. The force goes into spinning the chassis instead of the hammers. You can see it starts working correctly once the 50kg hammers break off.

The problem might be fixed by using a faster tick interval so the AI will start retracting the hammers before the chassis rotates too much. Of course, Frenzy.py (which I assume is what you're using) does not have this feature, and ElectricHammer.py only supports one hammer. Blade Ace is essentially un-AIable with currently available .py's, and there's no way freeziez could be expected to make one (which would be hard even for me) for this tourney.

well then why did Ultra-Bisector (which Freez sent me for BoF1) have 2 motors and work fine when I AI'ed it?

Because I had the Firestorm flippers to give it frontal weight and the hammers were either not fast enough or not heavy enough to bring the bot into a spin.

Beat is a strong word where one bot was designed to look good, whilst the other simply pushed the border of realism to become more combat effective.

You see this is everything wrong with DSL IRL in a nutshell.

Quick question: how do you manage to zoom into the arena? I can't seem to get past some sort of invisible camera wall.
Sorry if this is off topic or has been asked before, but the search feature is down at the moment.

I use the mouse wheel and scroll in, using the the F10 camera.
