BattleBots/The Tourney of Awesomeness (BattleBots wins vote)

[Vertigo]

For judging are you using the RFL Judging guidelines or something else?

Yes, except for judging will be based on Agression, Damage, and Control, each category 5 points per judge, totaling up to 45 points.

Doubt this will work

Aggression: AI will always be equally aggressive, (AI never runs away :P)
Control: AI control will always be the same, the better control will be the bot you AI better making it quite unfair

I would suggest using the current style of judging, point given for every attack, e.g.
ramming= 1 point
flipping= 1 point
hitting with spinner= 1 point

etc.

[G.K.]

More points for more significant attacks?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

What about a pinning bot though?

Yes, the damage bar and points in RA2 will be completely ignored.

What about a pinning bot though?

As in a rammer that pins, I will use the Ram or Charge tactics so as to keep ramming and not pin.

If you mean something else...

So are you going with what Vert or I suggested or staying with what you said?

He means a bot specifically designed for pining, rather than bacup-and-charge ramming.

What Vert said.

There will be no set categories though, they just depend on the bots.

Pinning bots aren't allowed...?

I guess that's my only solution. :P

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Aw... that was the purpose of the whole drum thing.

[Preytor_4]

Just curious, is there a way to make the Hell Raisers unfunctional but still keeping the hammer(s) working?

[G.K.]

And what about scoring more points for more significant attacks?

[freeziez]

What's up with the Hell Raisers?

And what about scoring more points for more significant attacks?

What's up with the Hell Raisers

Cause if a bot does get flipped over and it isn't invertible it is pretty much screwed. (Unless facing a wedgy flipper, but this is unlikely because of the enclosed arena)

Well, wouldn't you make your bot to avoid that in real life?

[Vertigo]

I hate you all :P

They obviously selected the other candidates by mistake

Well, I still look forward to seeing your bot. :D

And by the way, I didn't vote. :P

[Vertigo]

Obviously a popularity contest, otherwise I would have won hands down
Wait, I lost a popularity contest? FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

:P

[G.K.]

Nonsense, I would have got -4 votes if it was a popularity contest.

OWAIT it's a GTM one, not an IRL one. :P

[SKBT]

I tried poking around in the GMF to remove the heckraisers once but I broke the arena. I might try again sometime. But I suggest you ask Click since it's his arena and he should know what does what. :P


So I guess I'm judging? And that means I can't enter this, right?

[freeziez]

I can't enter this, right?

Hopefully someone will klone it. :P

[Preytor_4]

I would give the judge's the option to enter or not

[freeziez]

I would give the judge's the option to enter or not

Actually...that's not a bad idea, since the judging is based solely on attacks.

SKBT and G.K., you can enter!  :DDDDDDDDDDD
