The Tank Tread Brothers will reign! Or not... I will be surprised if they win at least one match.

When the next one rolls around, I'll make sure I build something good.

And CB, can you upload some of the best robots from all of the BBEANS tournaments to this page?

Well Haymaker preys on VS's and FBS's especially, and any bot with any side exposure.

Hammers are really all that gives me trouble and theres only 2 in the tournament...One which i fought and beat 5/5 times.

I have a Heavy Weight Hammer bot that works quite well, except for when the Beta Motor starts seizure-ing.

It makes me feel good to know that there are still hammer bot builders around. I was beginning to think that the weapon class was going extinct.

Sorry, Clickbeetle, but I had to change my entry, and it took me awhile to perfect it.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #171 on:** August 01, 2008, 08:10:04 PM »

Woah, are we still allowed to change them? I may have a chance...

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #172 on:** August 01, 2008, 09:35:28 PM »

That's... kinda unfair if you're allowed to change it now, because you've seen all of the entries and know what to expect. Personally, I think that no one should be allowed to change their entry at this point.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #173 on:** August 01, 2008, 10:09:39 PM »

I agree.

Madiaba · « **Reply #174 on:** August 01, 2008, 11:26:00 PM »

CB's running this Tourney. But I agree...Once you've seen all of the other entries, it's not really fair to be able to tweak or mod afterward.

if the change is radical then i agree, but if things are minor, like i've been fidding with my wedge layout for instance, I don't think that would be a problem (although i've come up with nothing, its still pretty uneffective) but if i had added a wedge to a wedgeless bot, per se, I would agree that this kind of change should be dissalowed

back to the competitors though, wow, impressive selection, i don't think there is one robot i can look at and say "that has no chance of winning anything" im especially impressed with the rookies, good show!

my picks are robosharks bot, Hazardous Contraption (reminds me of Vains MW from the first BBEANS (which is based on the starcore bot, i forgot its name (waterbeetle or something))) and red tide looks pretty good, the axe bot looks good, but i fear the plastic extenders will be its undoing, psycolone's bot looks good too, but I question the effectivness of the weaponry, but then again its longivity should be pretty awesome. Naturally though i think silver will be one to look out for again, we saw many a bot flying away in BBEANS2, and the design looks like it has the same effect.

That's true, Barbie. I just don't know how one would define and monitor 'minor' changes. Once someone knew the competition, 1 change in the tactics.py could adapt it to compete much better....
