Would I be able to reserve a spot until tomorrow? I'm needing to keep my girlfriend company tonight, but I should be able to sort something out either tomorrow afternoon, and I don't really want to miss out on this.

I'd really hate to open up a can of worms by saying yes, so I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that.  :ouch:

I understand. =) If that's the case, I might just fish Revolutions Per Minute from the Bot Exchange if it's legal.

...no, seriously. :P

OK. So that's your entry?

I hope so. It's a ring spinner (disc intersects wheels/chassis), and it doesn't have a proper sponsor decal, so they would be my only concerns.

It's okay, don't worry about it. Revolutions Per Minute's going into Blades Of Fury anyway, so he should get a good run there. Besides, even if I don't get in, this tournament's still going to be fun to watch. =)

ALL BOTS RECEIVED!!!!!1one1

I just have one AI problem... :P

You've seen Pressure's bot (if not, then here:
). How am I supposed to AI a linear actuator. I would think with Omni, but even then, what would I name the buttons?
Title: Re: BattleBots: Season 2 Signups
Post by: Enigm@ on August 15, 2011, 02:00:30 PM
Did you put a smart zone in between the claws ? I believe it'd just have to be named "fire" (no caps) and then you'd name the button something...

No, but there's a button for when the bot clamps and when it releases.

BTW, when I said

ALL BOTS RECEIVED!!!!!1one1

I meant

ALL BOTS RECEIVED other than Thyrus and Mike's

My guess would be something similar to Snow.py, which is what Seism 13 used, but I'm not entirely certain how to implement it...

Yes, and I already got my bot done for season 3, and what was going to be my entry for season 2 is going to replace one of the bots on my BoF team.

Mines a walking overhead hammer with a ground clearence which makes a monster truck look like it's flat to the floor.

How the heck did it get in? Or has the; "got to be like a real-life design" rule disappeared or something?

My bot's just a rammer, with some slight trapping elements. Not as good as my rammer/pusher/flipper thing for BoF, so I'm not confident.

Mines a walking overhead hammer with a ground clearence which makes a monster truck look like it's flat to the floor.
Might be better against that, I suppose.

No, because he's only got 2 spikes that don't intersect anything.

BTW, now we just wait on Thyrus and Mike. I AI'd Pressure's bot with LittleMetalFriend.py and it works. :mrgreen:
