Winner's bracket round 2, part 1/2 is up!


Warning: MAJOR UPSET alert!  Actually this was, in general, a quite surprising round.


It might be a bit of a wait for the next set of videos though.  Just a heads up.  I'm going on another trip this week, and another one the week right after that.  I'll be home for the weekend, but I don't know if I'll be able to get the videos done in that time.  We'll see.

The razors didnt fire once during the first fight even though the razors were under the chassis... oh well.

Whoops... hope that didn't ruin anyone's day.


Actually, since I just discovered that you can do nested spoilers, from now on I think I'll do that instead of the white text.

I will double-check your smart zone... but I tend to always put the smart zone so the edge is perfectly aligned with the tips of the razors.  It's for that reason that I like AI'ing true popups.  Smartzone placement is a lot harder to get right on traditional popups.

Yea, maybe it was just poor luck. Oh well.

Ah, I'm getting my preferred matchup in the next round. It'll be tough, but atleast AoN gets a good chance with tactical (or rapid) play.

After seeing that upset in round 2, I was thinking that there should be a Razor Guy award, for the robot that best exceeds all expectations from the community. It would be nice recognition for bots like Insult to Injury and the like that go on completely improbable winning streaks or pull off massive upsets.

The thing is... ItI is not really improbable though... It made it to the final 4 of Badniks 128-bot tournament, it just LOOKS like it sucks. But I agree, their should be an award (and I like the name "The razor guy Award").

Slightly off topic, but where did the results of that tourney get posted?  I lost track of it after the original thread
