uhm freez? that splash looks pretty messed up. Or is that only on my computer?
Splash is corrupt
Bit dissapointed in how some made no effort to make a realistic design and just spammed weaponsSame here, actually. I was trying to make a truly realistic one meself, actually.
*cough*Garvin*cough*Yes- he didn't even try.
No way my bot will stand up to it for 3 mins, TBH that bot should be disqualified as it shows no attempt to make an IRL style appearance*cough*Garvin*cough*Yes- he didn't even try.
027 and Garvin should be disqualified.Garvin yes, 027 no. That design could be done like that in real life- look at the Revolutionist for instance.
Garvin's robot is absolutely dreadful. why was that even allowed into the competition? I told you we'd get PO'd at someone who entered a robot with no skin and no attempt to look IRL, and sure enough, we did. I hope Garvin goes straight out in the first round.And worst of all, he's pretty much robbed me of a place :/
I'm actually reasonably confident with my match, in all honesty.

I thought I send in the reskinned version of my bot.

It won't, only has Plastic 5I thought I send in the reskinned version of my bot.
Yes, you did, but they kept crashing my game, and I was tired, so I didn't bother.

erm... If Vertigo's bot lasts the entire 3 minutes, I guarantee you it will win, judged by my points system.
Did you notice I changed the "name" of the reskinned bot? I did send you the new binding for it.I thought I send in the reskinned version of my bot.

S_M: another favorite of mine. It will do well I guess. chassis is protectet and it`s invertible. just wondering where the sponsor decal is ;)Decal on top of the chassis. 123stickers.com
R1885 > Thyrus
Thyrus < R1885
I meant Thyrus beat R1885. >_>
Where's the sponsor decal on garvin's bot?
Thyrus: TAAAANK. Looks like GBH2 in a different paintjob, but may not do too well in combat. Depends on what it does.
Where's the sponsor decal on garvin's bot?
Right under the titanium sheet.
Heck, even mine had decals!Where's the sponsor decal on garvin's bot?
Right under the titanium sheet.
Why? What's the <expletive>ing point of that? Why would you bother putting a sponsor logo on a robot if nobody can <expletive>ing see it? You don't see Formula 1 sponsors putting their logos behind the <expletive>ing steering wheel.

No. I'll just let you win ;D
YES. DO THAT IMMEDIATELY.
Sadly I couldn't get my shuffler to work without it going insane.I think I would have liked that one more :o
123STW: the bot itself looks great BUT I dislike the hingewedge and the razor spam.What razor spam? They are not even placed to hit. If I want to razor spam I would put them all in the front, and it will not violate the current rule requirement.
Erm...yeah...about that...Where's the sponsor decal on garvin's bot?

Garvin just didn't bother trying at all.Hence the whole thing about me getting the place if I can beat him in a match :3
What robot have you seen that looks like it, then?It looks too hideous for anyone to actually spend money to build it in real life.
I was considering suggesting a Battlebots tourney like this one. In my opinion as many entries as possible could be accepted, but only 16 would be voted in via poll based on their realistic appearance.
IDEA GET
Garvin vs. GF93 for that spot! :D
I somewhat agree with Urjak. He got a spot fair but hopefully that bot will not win.IDEA GET
Garvin vs. GF93 for that spot! :D
What?! You give Garvin the spot, and then twist right around and stab him in the back? I know his bot looks terrible, but as the tournament host you gave him the spot, and you accepted his entry. You shouldn't be allowed to just throw in a random Wildcard match just because Garvin's bot is unpopular.
Agree. Nothing in the rules suggest the bot must look good, and I can't conceive what realism is suppose to mean if a box with 2 wheels and some poles are consider impossible in real life.IDEA GET

I got a feeling that GF93 will lose anyway.Not necessarily- you haven't even seen my robot, so why judge me on that?
Wow, some pointers...
1. Quality of the first match was bad, at least take the time for us to get the full match (Sounds cheesy but that is why we like Battlebots over some robot inspired docu-drama)
2. Saw Havoks (Can't really point that out but it should if they are going to end matches badly and you end up publishing those matches)
What Recorder do you use?
OK guys, listen, I can't please you all. If I let Garvin continue the tournament, half of you will be upset, and if I disqualify him, the other half of you will be mad.OK then- what should I do? Is my entry still required?
Honestly, I didn't see anything unrealistic about Garvin's bot, so I won't disqualify him. I'm sorry to anyone who finds this unsportsmanlike.
1. What do you mean?As in you cut out 23 seconds in the first video, you should have re-done the match if you pressed the Fraps record key late. Don't be lazy ;)

No. I'm sorry.Nads. All that work for nothing...oh well :/
Freez could do a special video after it`s over: GTG vs. GFOr a rumble, Challenge belt, or other sort of cool side event with me in it :laughing
As much as I respect the builders, that entire third row of bots is IRL unrealistic if you ask me. Four VS on one bot in real life?
Four VS on one bot in real life?It's definitely doable. There's plenty that have two, and there was one Robot Wars Series 2 (or 3) applicant that had three.
How can you be sure Vertigo?Dunno, thought there were only 4 fights XD

will the other videos come today too?
What exactly is this marked on? 100% aggression?
Have to ask, why isn't there a loser's bracket Freeziez?
Killerhurtz <3
Killerhurtz <3LRN2SHUT UP MAN PUNJAR IS WAY BETTER >3
Chill out, atleast you haven't been beaten by a complete n00b who didn't even make an IRL style bot :P
*Godzilla-roars at the mention of place-thieving n00bs who can't make IRL-style bots*Chill out, atleast you haven't been beaten by a complete n00b who didn't even make an IRL style bot :P
Freez, can you show me your smartzone placement on my bot?
ThanksFreez, can you show me your smartzone placement on my bot?
Yeah, I put it a little too far forward, fixed it for next matches.
Hey, Freez, I went 10-5 in Vertigo's favour, not 9-6!
(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_21.gif)
Ah, okay. It may have been useful to lower the turn/turnspeed a little in the bindings line, though.
It wasn't the AI, I tested it out myself and it's way too fast.
TBH, your AI'ing seems a little rushed FreezI agree
Anything I say about the quality of that AIing is going to seem like very sour grapes from someone very hacked off with that match.
So, congratulations 027.

but you sir have reasons for this. It really was a not so good AI job. but on the other hand you knew what can happen if you don`t AI by yourself :/
Nice. Should be a pretty good match between myself and Vert, I reckon. I wonder if it was that one that went to the judges.Hope so :P
I can't even remember the swear I used. But i'm so happy that it makes me look as scummy as the Drama Queens on this board. ;)

I'm pretty sure you said another members bot was bad--(synonym for butt)
I still think a 75% warn for one instance of cursing is completely unjustified, when you consider the amount of other stuff that goes on in this place.Did someone call for me? :P
I'm amazed by the amount of videos you've done. Most tourneys it takes about 2 weeks to a month to get this far.
At least you got it in the right thread this time :PQuiet, you. My post jumped threads. Yeah, that's what happened.
3rd place playoff up!
So it`s a Mike Thyson battle :DWin
Figure I'll make a suggestion while we wait for the final:
The only real issue with the tournament was the arena, specifically, the path finding around the hazards. Not sure how much work it would take to fix it, but I think an arena with proper hazard mapping would have drastically changed the results of the tournament. It seemed like almost every fight started with the faster bot racing across the heck raisers and getting launched into the arena wall.
I don't know how hard setting up proper pathfinding would be, but I think either mapping the hazards properly or using a real world style arena with good hazard mapping would make for much better matches.

Removing the heckraisers would leave a hole where the heckraisers were. Your best bet would probably be screwing with the .py so they don't activate.
