360: An overall nice looking design, something i'd expect from nfx
Your Final Croak: ehh, looks like it's moar focused on bits and bobs then weapons.
Twilight Scream: Don't like how it's not invertible, wep system looks solid tho.
Patriotism 2: Fairly indifferent on it. Looks like it might get far.
Scope: Too much open chassis to be good.
Slasher: Looks like the drive might be on the wayside, but it's fairly decent i reckon.
Forget About it: I can't tell if it's a rammer or a spinner. o_0
Misinformed: Very nicely built, if a bit generic.
Spawn of PA: Looks like it's moar for looks than winning, but i like it.
Scar Spangled Banner: I liek it because of name alone. *metalbrofist*
Bully: Looks like an overall even amount of armour and weapons.
Drumbledore: Very nice looking. Definitely could win.
No More Mister Nice Guy: *cue Alice Cooper*
Ironside MK IV: Overall very nice looking. But alas, with most flippers, I don't see it getting very far.
Stampede: Lots of eyecandy. :]
Hammer Metal:  :SFTW

ORLY?  That same bot placed 3rd in BB4, and against some tough opponents.
 
Hammer Metal:  :SFTW

DoubleORLY?  I think 90 kgs of weapons will say differently.
 
Also I think Bully is going to do good this time, maybe even win it all.  It seems to have a fairly clear shot to the finals.

I could win this. For proof, my oppenent's 2 Pussycat Blades have a total of 9600HP with 2 Piglets, whereas Hammer Metal has a total 16000HP, and it is powered by a RAD look-a-like motor.

My thoughts on the LW bots:

360: I see you made a darn near perfect replica of the British robot there, NFX. However, I can see it suffering the same fate as its British brother against some of the flippers here.
Your Final Croak: Interesting look with all the front armor. However, if one or two of those pieces takes too much damage, it'll just flop around while the opponent just snaps into it like a Slim Jim.
Twilight Scream: Looks a little light on weaponry, even though the 20 to 30 does provide some alright damage. It also works real prone to robots getting under it and having their way with this one.
Patriotism 2: Very Revolutionist, I must say, with lots of armor on top. However, it may suffer from the same problems as 360 if that SRIMECH doesn't work as planned.
Scope: Nice look to the robot, though I'm not sure if the flipper will do too much to keep other robots away from its exposed body.
Slasher: Good weaponry, solid stabilization idea, and at least partial invertibility. As long as it doesn't get flipped into an unwinnable situation, I could see this robot going far.
Forget About It: It is improved compared to his BattleBots 4 entries, though it's still not terribly realistic. It'll do alright until it faces a vertical spinner. Then, its days are over.
Misinformed: Looks like you took Mr. Self Destruct to a lightweight design, and it looks pretty good. If its powered by anything better than a Piglet, this one could go far... barring getting a flipper underneath it and tossing it into a corner.
Spawn of PA: The Rule of Cool reigns supreme here, as it does look like a mini-Panic Attack. However, I fear that body might be a little too prone to attack here and if the robot is outwedged, it's all over.
White Thing II: Great in terms of weaponry... however, I'm slightly worried about the amount of armor it has and whether or not its drive is powerful enough to keep robots on the beaters.
Bully: The first of four returns in the LW division, it still reeks of cheapness. Firestorm flippers are very overpowered as armor and should have probably been changed to something on a more level playing field. As for its chances... it'll have a shot, though I don't know if there will be a repeat of the past coming to it in short order.
Drumbledore: Really good robot that only lost because of the uppercutter in No More Mr. Nice Guy. This robot stands a very good chance of making it back to the finals and claiming the title of Battlebots 5 champion.
No More Mr. Nice Guy: Speaking of the incumbent champ, the robot once again has a real good shot at reclaiming his title- something no robot was able to do in the last competition.
Ironside Mk IV: The last of the returns also yields the best flipper of the bunch- not only is it a good flipper, but its the best protected of the bunch.
Stampede: Looks very nice, but the attempt at trappiness may just make it fodder for anything with a good weapon.
Hammer Metal: A weapon amount the same as Battlebots 3 champ Flood 2... though the strong likelihood is it's obscenely underpowered (mine was powered by a Quad Mag; this? Probably no more than a Mag). It'll be fodder for most of the wedges here, as well as anything with a good weapon.

Bracket Predictions:
Prelims:
-Drumbledore over Forget About It
-Slasher over Hammer Metal
-Patriotism 2 over Misinformed
-Ironside Mk IV over Stampede
-Scope over Spawn of PA
-White Thing II over Twilight Scream
-Bully over Final Croak
-No More Mr. Nice Guy over 360

Quarterfinals:
-Slasher over Drumbledore
-Ironside Mk IV over Patriotism 2
-White Thing II over Scope
-No More Mr. Nice Guy over Bully

Semifinals:
-Slasher over Ironside Mk IV
-No More Mr. Nice Guy over White Thing II

Third Place:
-White Thing II over Ironside Mk IV

Finals:
-Slasher over No More Mr. Nice Guy

(edit: modified to correct robots in the division)

hard bot can't win this if he goes against a flipper or a VS.

Anyway, LW tiem:

360: Good build from NFX, could see it doing good if it has luck on it's side. Any VS will rip it up though.
Your Final Croak: Looks interesting, if i can get the stabilizers i can have a chance here. Considering we have the same weapons and it is another VS...
Twilight Scream: If anything gets under it, it's dead, otherwise it could possibly do well.
Patriotism 2: Looks very cool, if it can self-right it should be fine.
Scope: If it can get under anything it could get past round 1, with a bit of luck on it's side :P
Slasher: Very nice looking bot, if it gets turned it could all go wrong.
Forget about it: Could go far unless it encounters a vs or anything that outweapons it.
Misinformed: I think this might have a chance actually. Provided the unprotected chassis doesn't let it down.
Spawn of PA: Very cool, it wont do well though.
Scar Spangled Banner: Cool names wont get you very far with that exposed motor, that flipper segment will get ripped off pretty fast aswell.
Bully: yay i made it in. I might have a chance if i dont hit conraaa or SKBT again, i probably will though D:
Drumbledore: History will probably repeat itself here, if will get very far (probably to the finals again) until it faces a VS like conraaa.
No More Mr Nice Guy: This will get to the finals, might even win again.
Ironside Mk IV: It looks sooo cooool. Sadly that wont help it, judging by how far it got last time it could go that far again, perhaps further.
Stampede: Looks cool but anything that gets through that massive gap to the chassis will rip it up.
Hammer Metal: it doesn't even look irl with those weapons. Knowing hard bot, it will be severely underpowered and wont be too much of a problem.

I don't wanna go against any vs or anything that outweapons me D:

Post by: Philippa on December 11, 2011, 06:03:02 AM
All bots. A positive and a negative.

360 - Nice Rep. No srimech and High ground clearance.

Your Final Croak - Nice any way up chassis. I don't think the weapons will do that well at that size.

Twilight Scream - Good reach of weapon. Not invertible and no srimech... Round 1 vs flipper. Round 2 also vs flipper.

Patriotism 2 - Mauler-esque design - I like. :mrgreen: Bit worried about the reach of the beater bars though.

Scope - Good flipper. If the end breaks off then your in trouble.

Slasher - Nice design with the double blades. If a pickaxe comes off then the blades are gonna hit the floor and be useless.

Forget About It - Good side protection. Umm... The Panic Attack skirts reach further forwards that the beater bars.

Misinformed - Good weapon reach.  Too thin for me.

Spawn of PA - Love it over all. All except the combat effectiveness. I think it's more for looks.

Scar Spangled Banner - Nice flipper. Same with scope - If the end breaks off then your in trouble.

Bully - Great chassis protection. The disc will be unbalanced quickly.

Drumbledore - Like the drum* design. Seems a bit weak at the front.

No More Mister Nice Guy - Nice VS. Looks topheavy to me.

Ironside MK IV - Nice flipper. Again - If the end breaks off then your in trouble.

Stampede - Looks good, if very plain.
Hammer Metal - Nice LW SS. 2 45kg hammers seems a bit much though.

*Is it classed as a drum?

I honestly don't think Hard Bot's bot should be in there. That's over a third of the robot based on weapon weight. It's absolute nonsense.

360: Hoping to do well. And to all you nay-sayers, yes, it CAN self-right. =D
Your Final Croak: Looks okay to me. Could do well if it remains stable.
Twilight Scream: Very nice looking machine. Lack of invertibility could hurt it, though, but it should do alright.
Patriotism 2: Looks okay. Chassis's a little exposed for my liking, though.
Scope: Nit a bad looking flipper, if a little flimsy. Will be interesting to see how this fares.
Slasher: Looks very nice. Could tear up quite a few opponents. One to keep your eye on, in my view.
Forget About It: Rammer? Not too sure how it'll fare. PA skirts as stabilisers look a bit too flimsy for IRL to me.
Misinformed: Looks excellent, could do very well. Provided it doesn't become unbalanced with that short stance.
Spawn of PA: Fantastic aesthetic appearance, probably won't do that well in a fight, but who cares.  :gawe:
Scar Spangled Banner: Nice name. Not sure how powerful it'll be, I'm not certain about this one, unfortunately.
Bully: Could stand a chance of going very far, provided it doesn't have a repeat of last time.
Drumbledore: Again, very nice looking bot. Should fare well here again, I'm predicting the semis.
No More Mister Nice Guy: Front wedges are still a bit dubious, but we saw its potency last season. I'm looking forward to our rematch, let's hope I can turn the tables.
Ironside Mk IV: Probably the best looking LW here. Could go very far indeed, hopefully it'll make the final this time. I hope it does.
Stampede: Some kind of pusher? It's a pretty good idea, it'll be interesting to see if it works.
Hammer Metal: Bad DSL.  :SFTW

Good to see that Ironside MK IV is getting a warm welcome back :D.

Here's my thoughts...

360: Looks great, like a proper IRL bot, sadly can't see it going far though.

Your Final Croak: Nice looking but does the waepons have the reach to do decent damage?

Twilight Scream: I like the look of it, but with the motor attached with Polycarb, it could be fragile.

Patriotism 2: Good looking but unsure of the damage potential.

Scope: Unsure abut the flipper. Could get a win...

Slasher: Probally will do a great deal of damage, could very well win.

Forget About It: Can't really see what type of bot this is. Dunno about the chances.

Misinformed: Love the look of it. Can't see it doing well unfortunatly. Maybe one win.

Spawn of PA: Great looking but can't see it winning.

Scar Spangled Banner: Another good looking bot, but the flipper looks weak and with no armour, it won't do well.

Bully: A returnee from BB4, could very well win.

Drumbledore: The bot that beat Ironside MK IV in BB4, don't want to face it again.

No   More Mister Nice Guy: I really like the look of it. Could win one or two.

Ironside Mk IV: My bot, hope it goes into the final this time.

Stampede: Unsure what to make of Stampede as i'm confused about the weapon. Hope I beat it though :P

Hammer Metal: All depends on if the motor drive is any good, probally won't win.

LW: Tricky, but not impossible. Will need a good amount of luck to pull this off, I think.
MW: Another tricky opponent, but I could pull it off. Again, probably requires a good amount of luck.
HW: I should win this, as long as I don't get stacked up on the spikes. They're due to help me out.
SHW: Should win this one. Provided my chassis can take the hits, I'm not sure how powerful his hammers are.
 
Nice to see there's not so many "Bad DSL" bots in this one. Still a few knocking around, though, but there's more of the IRL style that I like in this season. =)
 
Favourites
 
LW: Bully, Ironside Mk IV
MW: Ironside Mk V, SkidMark
HW: A Social Grace, Steel Raptor
SHW: Carbon Copy 3, Thunderhead

Moar biased predicshunz:
Taur 2 : <3 the look of it. Don't know how powerful the flipper is, but it should be good.
Bullfrog: eeh, kinda generic looking tbh :/
Tracer Bullet: I don't really see a wammer going very far but i might surprised.
Angered Mystery 2: Fairly decent i reckon
Bloodred Flags: Lots of frontal armour, but the wep system seems lacking.
Black Banshee: My overall fave, and one of the two bots that has my vote to win.
Tragedy: The other bot i think might win.
With A Purpose: Again, can't see a wammer getting far.
Society's Outcast: If it's able to constantly ram 'bots into the walls, it should be pretty good, but if not, it's just wedge bait.
Ironside MK V: Fairly good looking.
Sir Lance-A-Frog: Looks good, don't know how it will do in combat.
Crimson Blade: Very deadly looking.
SkidMark: A very good looking drum, should go far.
Rush: ^ see comment about skidmark

Heavyweights:
White Rhino: very cool and very lethal looking.
Critical Hit!: While lacking in armour, if it's able to constantly hit at it's opponent, it should do well.
Garrison 1.5: not my favourite, but it might get thru a round or two.
ShiniGRRL: I like the look of it, and it has a pretty solid wep system.
Steel Raptor: My favourite heavyweight, really hope i don't fight it if i win my match.
Nyx2: Very good looking flamer, i nice bot like all of NCR's bots.
Thump: Very solid setup overall.
Gotcha Back!: Pretty good spinner, but it looks like it's wedge bait.
edit: oh goodie superheavies.  :gawe:

Tritium: <3
The Turbulator 2: Nice looking imo.
Blade Ace: I like just because of the diescetor vibe it has. :D
Sound: Needs moar hammer. /sarcasam
Krude Oil: Looks like a freakin' tank and about as mean as one.
Void: Not too sure about how those wedges will preform.
CRASH: love the look of it.
Without a Purpose:  a SHW wammer = don't see it getting past round one.
Civilization's Outside: Ehh, too much extenders.
Monster: looks nice, wish it had a better skin.
8th day 2S: Very nice looking.
Carbon Copy 3: Love how it looks like warhead.
Death: Should go very far.
Octave of Speed: The drive is lacking imo. /sarcasam
Thunderhead: Best looking bot of all the weight classes.
Mach 9: a very nice looking flipper. Might go pretty far.
Ivan: I don't think it has enough taz wedges. /sarcasam.
A Social Grace: Solid build overall.
The Defenestrator: If it doesn't get flipped, should do well.
Mecha Bull: My favourite in looks.
The Highlander 2: Lots of eyecandy, but because of the exposed chassis = don't see it going very far.
Social Misfit v5: Ehh, too much extender work for my liking.

To the Middleweight Predictions!

Scar Spangled Banner: What would've been considered a mediocre LW is now a pitiful MW. The chassis is begging to be hit, and a few good whacks to the JX motor will turn the robot into robo-chow.
Taur 2: Beautiful design, and plenty quick I bet as well. However, I do fear the lack of weaponry will be its downfall, especially against the vertical spinners here.
Bullfrog: Alright design and weapon, though I fear if anyone gets under it, it'll turn into a bumblebot until its dead or its opponent is dead.
Tracer Bullet: Nice and pushy, though I wonder what would happen if its gets stranded on its weapon...
Angered Mystery 2: Better than Tracer Bullet on the weaponry, though much worse on its chassis. Any robot with the ability to get under it will make it submit in no time flat.
In the Sign of Evil: Solid Tombstone design, though it doesn't have much in the way of guarding those rather large Tazbot wheels from getting hit.
bloodredflags: Okay weapon and nice looks, but I do worry what would happen if either the weapon comes off or the segmented armor comes off.
Black Banshee: Good looks, though the Hworf blades may be a touch on the cheap side. Also, wedges can end the run for it as well.
Tragedy: My 2nd favorite robot of the bunch; great design, great weaponry, and a good chance of going all the way.
With a Purpose: MUCH better than Top Comment, though the weight from the Overkill wedge gives me a slight worry that it won't be able to keep up for the full time.
Society's Outcast v3: Fast, powerful, but with fragile weapons. Once the Heavy DS teeth come off, it'll be toothless aggression from this one.
Ironside Mk V: My favorite bot by far. It's just... BEAUTIFUL... not to mention the weaponry.
Sir Lance-a-Frog: Nice robot, but as seen in Battlebots 4, it's much too easy to avoid the weapons altogether and go for the kill.
Crimson Blades: Hopefully, the robot has been cured of the constant flips it endured in Battlebots 4. Otherwise, a quick exit may follow.
SkidMark: May not be the best looking robot here, but it has shown its pedigree. However, it does show its age a little bit, as I fear that a few robots may have surpassed it.
RUSH: Nice eggbeater weapon, though I wonder if the robot will be cannon fodder if one of its beaters falls off early on.

Bracket Predictions:

Preliminaries:
-Society's Outcast v3 over bloodredflags
-In the Sign of Evil over Sir Lance-a-Frog
-SkidMark over Scar Spangled Banner
-Tragedy over RUSH
-Bullfrog over Angered Mystery 2
-Ironside Mk V over With a Purpose
-Tracer Bullet over Crimson Blades
-Taur 2 over Black Banshee

Quarterfinals:
-Society's Outcast v3 over In the Sign of Evil
-Tragedy over SkidMark
-Ironside Mk V over Bullfrog
-Taur 2 over Tracer Bullet

Semifinals:
-Tragedy over Society's Outcast v3
-Ironside Mk V over Taur 2

Third Place:
-Society's Outcast v3 over Taur 2

Finals:
-Tragedy over Ironside Mk V

No it doesn't, it just sits there. Besides, you could still hear Tracer Bullet's drive motors, meaning it was trying to move. It wouldn't have done that if it didn't have an "invertible" line. And your bot was definitely moving backwards and forwards, just not enough to avoid the immobilization counter.

In Badnik's defense that did look like a bit of an unfair loss there.  It's hard to tell what happened due to the camera being in the wrong place, but it looks like Tracer Bullet was flipped by the saws exploding out of their slots.  Of course, odds are Crimson Blades would've worn it down in spikeball mode eventually anyway...
 
Scrap also should've beat Mike if it wasn't for getting stuck on the spikes long enough to expose a flank.
 
Also, yay hammers!  Hoping I can repeat Craaig's victory in the SHW's.  :mrgreen:

I think it should become standard for all tournaments to have a 'no complaining about AI' rule - you can AI it yourself, then it's your fault if it doesn't go right, and if the host AIs it, they shouldn't have to make it 'perfect' as the competitor is using their services and it's their risk, etc.
Title: Re: Battlebots 5: Splash, Brackets, and Videos
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on December 27, 2011, 05:00:39 AM
If the host says they can AI, then I'm surely to assume he can AI the bot to function properly...
Flippers flip bots that are on their flipping arms, not ignoring those on top and also not firing when bots are in front of them.

You always run that risk if you leave the AI'ing to the tournament host. If he'd AI'd it himself, how he wanted it to operate, then this problem wouldn't have arisen. I'm going to side with freeziez and marty here, if you wanted to be sure that something like that wouldn't happen, then you really should have AI'd it - or at least placed the smartzone - yourself.

Issues like this are precisely why I placed my own smartzone. I knew where I wanted it to be, and the best way to make sure it's just right is to place it yourself. Freeziez had a ton of bots to AI and add smartzones to, so high precision is not something you should expect with smartzone placement, especially if you're not very specific when mentioning location. (or if you don't mention it at all)

Seriously, who cares? It's not like your builders skill is being betrayed or something just because he AI'd something poorly. I, for one, don't give a toss about IRL, so give it a rest guys.

Yes, I can't AI them at all, even though I've had about 40 matches with flippers and only a couple have gone wrong with minor things, such as turnspeed or inch-off smartzone placement. I had a lot of bots to AI and the last thing I'm going to worry about is a SZ a millimeter from where you actually want it. AI it yourself or deal with it.

Maybe a blanket "if you don't place the smartzone yourself or even make the effort to give a good description of where it should be, your complaints about precise placement will be ignored" for BB6.

Post by: G.K. on December 29, 2011, 12:13:02 PM
there's enough commotion on this for me to make a ruling on this. It will be along the lines of saying Hosts' AI'ing errors fall into 2 categories, Critical and Minor.

Critical errors will be like not wiring drive correctly, missing off smartzones totally, putting in the wrong nose value in the AI line, and using an utterly wrong .py class.

Minor will be things you don't like about AI lines written by the host if you didn't AI your bot (turnspeed, radius, etc), smartzone placement, or using not the .py you were thinking of, but another that funtions well enough (Like popup vs Omni).

Hosts will be obliged to redo if they make a critical error, if they make a minor error then they can redo it if they want or let it slide if they want, unless the sender of the bot produces evidence to show that they told the host how to AI the bot and the host went against that. If the evidence is there, the host must redo/fix mistakes. If there isn't evidence for this then correcting/re-runs will be entirely up to whether the host wants to or not.

If you AI'd the bot yourself correcting any errors/re-runs are again up to the host.

It may have been firing due to the hammer coming into the smartzone, rather than the chassis. Perhaps Popup.py would have been more effective in that situation.

Same way I AI'd King Crab, it's just that since your hammers were so long compared to your small, square body, it was propped up and started spinning.

Title: Re: Battlebots 5: Splash, Brackets, and Videos
Post by: Clickbeetle on May 24, 2012, 12:32:31 AM
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.

Title: Re: Battlebots 5: Splash, Brackets, and Videos
Post by: freeziez on May 24, 2012, 05:25:41 PM
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.

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.

I am not familiar with this but this went on for over 2 years? Was this not under the normal tournament rules?
