BattleBots: Splash, Brackets, and Videos

[MikeNCR]

3rd place playoff up!

Building up the suspense for the final fight?

[Thyrus]

it`s Mike vs Thy...

So it`s a Mike Thyson battle :D

[Vertigo]

So it`s a Mike Thyson battle :D

Win

[Thyrus]

so freez. when will the final be up?

[MikeNCR]

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 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.

We could use the Battlebox Arena instead.

If Badnik can give me the information on how to remove the heckraisers, I will use the Battlebox 2.0 with no heckraisers. If not, then the Battlebox.

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.

Oh and well done Thyrus :D

Whoops, I meant removing the activity of the heckraisers.

[GroudonRobotWars]

Wow what an upset! Thyrus won.

[MikeNCR]

Good match and I think the judges nailed the score. I had damage by a good margin, but didn't do enough to really hamper Thyrus, so it's only a minor lead there, and Thyrus was able to stay much more aggressive.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the scorecards:

              Mike   l   Thyrus  l
Freez- l     4     l      11      l
G.K.-   l      7     l       8      l
SKBT-  l      6    l       9       l

TOTAL l    17    l      28      l

It's a deserved win. :) MikeNCR's bot was damaging, but you can never really see a controlled, aggresive spinner in RA2, much less one thats bouncing around the arena.

[Thyrus]

[Jack Daniels]

+rep to Freez.  Good job on this.

[freeziez]
