You are a saint, Massimo. I consulted with another user because I was afraid they might be a bit too far-out for the tournament. Good luck AI'ing the middleweight, I am so sorry.

Ok, the MW I'm actually not going to allow because like you assumed, I have no idea how to AI it. The others are accepted though.

I will spend some more time trying to build a system of translational movement that uses only motors. Right now the A/D turning buttons work flawlessly (albeit backwards I think). W/S was proving to be the hard one.

If all else fails, let it be a punching bag. After all, that's what the robot's namesake would have wanted. (SPOILER ALERT)

Truely is an honor to fight in the same group as Clickbeetle and RFS/Thumpertizer. Tex-Bots branding is set, and I am beyond excited.

RFS · « **Reply #159 on:** May 14, 2014, 05:53:24 PM »

I am flattered, but I don't anticipate Thumperizer doing extremely well in the tournament mostly because it's a goofy design and trying to rationalize it and re-interpret it via DSL proved to be pretty difficult. Of course, I wasn't aware of the ant/spin-motor battery bug at the time, but still it's a design that's kinda top-heavy by nature and due to the placement of its wheels the centrifugal force of the spinners constantly works against it.

I'm a little pissy about changing the design TOO much because in a way it's kind of an iconic robot so I opted to leave it as-is and just do my best, haha.
