honestly I have watched the matches yet :P (been to busy) but the radius value can be changed depending on a robots width SB 

but really its all done so why bother debating it.. its going to achieve nothing :P

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I WILL PROVE I WAS 3RD BEST!!!
Nah, I'll stop now.

[Sage]

The radius of the bot is based on the chassis. If the chassis is small and the front of the bot is super wide or long with wedges or armor (like infection) then it's going to get caught. Pwn didn't test his bot in the arena enough to figure out this disadvantage. The wall counts as a hazard, so you have to build to the arena. Also, the floor is different on this arena than on other arenas, meaning the wedge tweaking is different. All this was took into consideration when I built DOA. It's not Clickbeetle's job to fit the arena to the robot. He gave us the arena to test in, so it should have been used for testing. Don't rant Naryar! :)

[Urjak]

Ahhhh... I beat G.K and I wasn't even in the rumble. Just breaks my heart... :P
All jokingness aside, congrats to Sage for that stupendous victory.

[G.K.]

Well, you should have lost earlier. :P

[Pwnator]

Actually, I would've easily avoided the hazards had I4 used Mag drive. I opted for NPCs (since it IS a rebuild of Infection 2) and it actually made my wedge better. So I did expect the skirts to snag some time, and it just so happened that it did during its match again DoA2. So it's all good. Runner-up's still an awesome award. :P

[powerrave]

that is something to be proud of yes.

[R0B0SH4RK]

At least I beat Nary in the grudge match :D

Congratz to Sage, Pwnator, Virus Bomb and all others who did well, and those who made the tournament entertaining.

And (I can't believe no one has done this) a HUGE thank you to Clickbeetle for making this not only the largest, but the best (no offence other hosts) tourney in RA2. I'm confident that this community would be dead without you. Thanks once again!

[Jonzu95]

Could it be possible, if there would be grudge match with me and GK?

[JoeBlo]

OR you could just wait for DSL BBEANS AI and have 10 million of your own grudge matches :P

[Jonzu95]

and how long I have to wait...?

[powerrave]

that long!

[G.K.]

And (I can't believe no one has done this)

I did! But I agree.

And jonzu, you would win, because you bot would make mine Havok, i think.

[Clickbeetle]

These finals make me cringle really. Radius fail.

So cheap really. While Sage's victory was somehow expected, In EVERY SINGLE MATCH but one I4 fails, gets stuck in the hazard  and gets flanked, making his victory MUCH easier. Click you really should have fixed that >:O

And i got OUTWEDGED by R0B0 ????

Oh well, at least i won the champion's rumble :P But pretty disappointed by my little robot there still !

^agree with nary.

Infection's radius issues can't really be fixed.  I did try making it bigger, but it seems like no matter how big it is, it will inevitably hit the center wall on occasion.  Less frequently perhaps, but the issue can't be totally avoided.  Also, using a bigger radius causes it to make much wider turns, which causes a whole new set of problems.  In the end, I decided to leave the AI as is, because that is how Pwnator AI'd it and that is how it's been for the whole rest of the tournament, and Death of Angels proved that it can still beat Infection even if Infection doesn't make any driving mistakes.

Double post: the final cumulative rankings are up, and the hall of fame has been updated!


The top of the rankings stayed surprisingly stable, with one notable exception (Sage).  There were more upheavals in the lower parts.  It should be noted that some people went down in rank even though they went up in score.  Don't be alarmed at this; it's simply because there are more total competitors now (notice the bottom rank is #112; it used to be #86).  The score is probably a more accurate portrayal of your success than the number rank.


Score scale that I just made up for fun:


0: Either you are very unlucky, or not very good.
0.1 - 0.25: You have what it takes to win, you just need to do it more often.
0.25 - 0.5: You can go far in the brackets, but you always run into R0B0 or Sage or somebody earlier than you wanted.  Next time, maybe you'll go all the way...
0.5 - 0.75: Good enough to consistently knock out several opponents in every tournament.  One of these days you'll get that amazing run that puts you in the top 20.
0.75 - 1: Great score.  This is the realm of quarterfinalists, semifinalists, and those who consistently rack up a few wins over several tournaments.  Good chance of performing exceptionally well in future BBEANS.
1-1.5: AMAZING score.  You must have at least 4 more wins than losses to get a score of 1, which is no small feat.  If you're not already a champion, you could very well become one.
1.5 - 2: You pretty much need to be a champion to be this good, unless you're R0B0.
2 and up: WHAT IS THIS MADNESS HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE SUCH A SCORE?

2 and up: WHAT IS THIS MADNESS HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE SUCH A SCORE?

hehehehehehehehe

[The Ounce]

76th... not too bad, but I'll need to make a lot of improvements next BBEANS, if there will be one that is.

If so, COOLRUNNER YOU WILL PAY!!!!!!!

[Jonzu95]

GK is 25th and I'm 26th?

YOU WILL PAY THIS, GK!

[Stagfish]

Ah well, 97th isnt bad for fail bot.

[JoeBlo]

its kinda annoying to have a worse score from entering more BBEANS then others :P I regret entering number 5 while being so bad.. but still it was the reason I actually decided to hang around on here so its not all bad.
