Well...

I MIGHT (keyword might) make it past round one. I think I'm toast after that.

Post by: NFX on July 11, 2010, 04:37:31 PM
XD Nice one, Sage.
 
Looks like a fantastic tourney once again, GK.

Initial favourite, I think, would be Ounce. Looks like quite good, even though the hammers are only the 30kg variety.

And I seem to have drawn R0B0 here as well as BBEANS.

I'll probably be screwed after Round 1. I mean, a bye for the Reigning Champion? Come on  :FFFUUU

But as long as I beat Jonzu, I'm happy, and I can be eliminated safe in the knowledge that I achieved my main aim, and lost to one of the best  :approve:

He is the reigning champ. Sometimes you get a good draw, sometimes you don't.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on July 11, 2010, 05:18:03 PM
Suppose. But then again, it happened to me in n00b Warz 3 (When Jack Daniels was champion with Rust Monster), and I was able to put up a fight before eventually beating him (And unfortunately myself in the process  :FFFUUU ), so if I can get randomly lucky and knock off one of the hammers and prevent him moving, I could get him.
 
Will probably lose though  :embarr

Hopefully the walls aren’t too low for Magmatic to be tossed out of the arena from the initial charge.  Even if they aren’t I don’t see myself being able to hold on to my championship title.

Round 1 Predictions:

Stealth Destroyer 2 over Minimus – Even with a long singular wedge I’m not sure if it’s going to help against a VS like that.  That is still one of the coolest looking drums I’ve seen though.

Son of MSHD over Hurricane – Hurricane doesn’t look like it can get that shell up to speed by the time SOMSHD is hammering at it.  Still Son of MSHD needs to keep it pinned otherwise it will risk losing its armor and having the vulnerable parts exposed.

Drumbayotch over Flipperization – 36 batteries?!?  Still it clearly has the better wedge here, but the flipper is faster so if it can escape the drum then it might be able to get under it and flip it out of the arena.

Dr. Spin II, S.D. over Forgot the Food – Dr. Spin just looks like it has the better wedge, and that’s about it.

2 Vroom or Not to Vroom over BLT (lol @ acronym) – Another battle of the wedges.  Vroom’s speed will help it here, but if it’s too fast then I could see it going the other way around.

Renal Calculi over Please Re-Enter Bot Name – Renal Calculi looks to have the better wedge, and even if dual HSs are more stable than single HSs, I can still see PRBN going out of the arena very quickly.

WiLd cUbE: VENGEANCE over Whiplash Recoil – So many wedges... Wild Cube might have the better one, but Whiplash Recoil looks like it has a good wedge as well; it could go either way.

Doom Donker over OverOverkill – Doom Donker just has the better weapons here.  If OverOverkill can get underneath its opponent and deal enough damage to the disk, then it can win via immobilization, otherwise the odds are against it.

Crown of Flames over Stiletto Violence – You just HAD to give it a wedge didn’t you JoeBlo.  Even if it does have the better wedge, I don’t think it can remain under its opponent long enough for it to tear off its wedge.  Crown of Flames just looks like it has a lot of chances to get under its opponent.

Do you really think so Ounce? I'm quite flattered! And good luck against me in your first fight if I do qualify.  I have a gut feeling that you might be able to whittle down Son of MSHD's health if it's not careful though.

the wedge is more Armour then anything.. the big hole in the middle is asking for robots to go there

Slimbody Motors for drive are bad. NPCs or Magmotors are your best bet. Sometimes E-Tek Drives as well.

8 vald spikes doesn't cut it on a hw shell spinner IMO.
4 30kg hammers on a hw rammer doesn't cut it at all, there are some mws that have the same amount of weapons.
So GF VS. Jonzu will be very boring IMO.

Mines going to be quick. Either BLT is going to be flipped out or my bot is going to get juggled and die in 10 seconds. :P I'm voting the latter.

Nice job JD, but APIII was never good (duh) so yea....

Heh thanks. I kinda feel bad though... I rushed that bot just before I left on vacation to meet the deadline.  I didn't really try to make it look like your bot much at all... I just stuck to the guidelines that GK set.  I can't believe how fragile OK blades are.  During testing, those blades would get lobbed off like crazy. 

My only hope is that the motor can get up to full speed, because it launches opponents quite nicely after a few moments to speed up.

I <3 what Sage built btw.

I'm not sure how it'll go. GF's hammers look like 60kg's, while yours, mathematically, must be 30 kg's. He could take a couple of them off pretty easy, I think.

Post by: yoda9726 on July 12, 2010, 09:17:57 PM
Welcome, one and all to Yoda's totally inaccurate predictions...
 
Minimus vs Stealth Destroyer:  my only hope is the wedge saving me or some great flanking. Prediction: Stealth Destroyer
 
Son of MSHD vs Hurricane: If Hurricane can sweep him to the side, he'll stand a chance.  But i think Prediction: Son of MSHD
 
Flipperazation vs Drumbayotch: I think the wedge war will be lost by Flipp, therefore Prediction: Drumbayotch
 
forgot the food vs Dr. Spin II: I'm rooting for FTF, So probably Prediction: Dr. Spin
 
2 vroom vs BLT:  2 vroom looks cool, (great job) but i think the power here lies in BLT Prediction: BLT
 
Renal Calculi vs Please Reenter Bot name: Both look well built.  But I think Renal will flip Please Reenter easily Prediction: Renal Calculi
 
Whiplash Recoil vs Wild Cube: Vengeance: I'm just gonna say Wild Cube, because i love the look Prediction: Wild Cube:Vengeance
 
OverOverkill vs Doom Donker:  saying "Donker" makes me laugh.  Overoverkill's best chance is to just not to touch Donker until count out.  Prediction: Doom Donker
 
Stilleto Violence vs Crown of Flaames: based on looks, Stilleto all the way.  But I think i see more power in Prediction: Crown of Flaames.
 
 
And everyone that got a bye is gonna lose :P
 
Now, reverse all my predictions because i'm always wrong.
 
 
Ohh, and thanks Ounce, for the 'coolest looking drum' part.

its not ruled by wedges as much as stock I dont think.. plenty of robots can still kill without wedges it just takes the right strategies

but even real life wedges are big business.. getting under an opponent is always an advantage

Really good matches so far, but when making the vids, could you make the robot intro pics last for just a bit longer (like 3 seconds perhaps)?

Also,

And I think that he's doing them in a random order, Ounce :\

Ounce, I've not uploaded it yet. I didn't think I would have time this morning for it, because it was a big file. i'll prolly upload it tomorrow morning.

R0B0, thanks, and I will sort that thing about the intro pics for future rounds, I've already filmed a few more vids with the intro like it is.

DP: Those two matches are up. I cut out large chunks of matches because they were just:

In Yoda vs Vertigo, the bots just spinning around in circles, and in JD vs bubbles, the bots justvaguely wandering around the arena, occasionally coming together.

At least partially my fault, Minimus seems to almost specialize in drawing matches out.  I've had more matches go to time with it than any other bot i've made.

I need to drop one person. The fairest way to do it wouuld be to randomize them, and give every bot except 2 byes, and those bots fight it out for the last place. But I don't want to make anyone feed vindicted.

Yeah, I was glad to not get it this time either, like I did last time. But one thing does puzzle me. If I was ranked #11, then that must've meant I ranked above at least one person, if say, 12 people entered last time.

The drum is quite afraid of your weapons, but pretty sure i've got you outwedged.  With a bit of luck, i might be able to buypass those hammers alltogether.  Win or lose, i think i'm gonna enjoy this match.
But you're forgetting that even if you do outwedge me at the beginning, I've got good protection on the bottom, higher speed, and slightly better agility from my 4-wheel drive. As a result, I could manouver round to the side if possible (Minimus' turning might be a bit slow because of its rear 2-wheel drive), and then it's Hammer Time!
 
Sorry, I had to  :laughing

GK's life is an equal split between sleeping and GameTechMods. Interspersed with eating and going to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, I'm learning to drive a car.

Matches threw up a few surprises, definitely. One of them, I was just sitting there like "......wat"

Equal split between GTM, listening to R.E.M. and Muse, and acting. Sleep is insignificant.

I know, but it was mainly losing to Jonzu* and not winning any of my six potential rounds that did it for me really. Maybe I'll improve it if there's another BTTB.

Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: G.K. on July 26, 2010, 07:25:02 AM
The turn value's 80. I think your bot does that because of the angle at which you built it.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on July 26, 2010, 08:04:24 AM
by turn values I mean turn speed and turn,

I dont normally get that issue with angle building
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: G.K. on July 26, 2010, 08:05:40 AM
Turn is 80, turnspeed 1, because anything higher made the bot uncontrollable.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on July 26, 2010, 08:10:47 AM
I think that could be the issue right there

test out a higher turnspeed: such as 2.5 and drop the turn to say 40 (on estimating) 

if not I will play around on my end
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: G.K. on July 26, 2010, 08:21:59 AM
The major problem was the turn value. 40 fixed that. However, a turnspeed of 2.5 makes it sway while driving. I need to find a good balence between turning speed and the swaying.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: G.K. on July 26, 2010, 08:27:23 AM
DP: 1.5 seems a good compromise.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on July 26, 2010, 08:34:49 AM
hmm... ok.. I might play around myself also

generally when AIing (for future reference) you dont kill off the turn-speed then try and compensate with turn analog, all that's doing is turning more but slower. turning less amounts faster is better from my experience

And GK, would it be alright if you moved the snappers' starting positions back a little bit on my bot? Kinda halfway between where they are at the minute and horizontal, I think? S'just I can't actually update it myself without my laptop.

Oh, one more thing G.K, the next time you leave your house pick me up a jug of milk. Thanks :P
 
On the topic of the videos: you're over-editing them IMO. There were match defining moments in your match with Somebody the you cut out. Please, unless the bots just circle one another, just show the entire match. It saves you editing time and it dosen't make me feel like I'm watching a highlight package :3

The next round is up. There is 'overediting' present in 1 match, but that was beause I filmed the matches before R0B0 informed me about the 'overediting'. All that happened in the matches was
There are also a few little jumps of a few seconds, which I faded in, because fraps kept going off at the wrong times.

Absolutely marvellous. First you steal my Pac-Man high score, now you ruin the recent win streak I had!
Why do you keep taking my few prides on GTM away from me?   :(
At least you're still in.  I did absolutely horribly this time around.

Wasn't his fault though. He was unlucky with the bot he got.

That break felt good. I'll be getting more stuff up tomorrow.

Awesome.

I'm just not that great at buiding in DSL. I hate long wedges, which might be why I suck.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on July 30, 2010, 09:00:39 AM
All I do with wedges is use metal hinge+half sheet+small wedge.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: martymidget on July 30, 2010, 09:03:01 AM
I use metal hinge+DSL bar+small wedge. I prefer using dsl bars for their middle attachment point. Not that my wedge is brilliant.

Post by: NFX on July 30, 2010, 09:35:22 AM
Yours was still a tough bot to build effectively.

I thought I'd do a bit better, tbh. Though I didn't really count on fighting R0B0 twice in three rounds.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: powerrave on July 30, 2010, 09:42:04 AM
lol ok.

and i agree there. though i think i shouldn't have gone for a wedge. the spinning disks lift the front a bit, making my wedge a big weak point. maybe i should make a newer version of Forgot The Food and make it like some fortress on wheels that somehow also does a little bit of damage.

I do that as well, but mine almost always suck, because if my robots hit walls or opponents with them, the wedges almost always flip themselves over.

I accidently forgot the pictures of the bots in Pwn vs Yoda.

I cut so much out of some of the matches, because the bots were just spinning around.

To tell the truth, I'm not confident at all against a face spinner. I think there is a likelyhood that Doctor Spin will chew up my hammers before I can even get close.

At least that's the plan. Son of MSHD is pretty quick and durable though, so if I could damage the rear with the 60kg Hammer payloads, I could win. Hardly likely though, so I think my run ends here.
 
Still, at least I beat Jonzu, Joeblo, AND The Ounce, so I think that's a pretty good consolation prize.

Get the anonying alarm clocks. Like the 1 that shoots 4 puzzle pieces throughout your room and won't stop ringing untill you put all the pieces back on the alarm clock.
Or the one with wheels. Shoots of and around your room. Gotta catch it.
Or the one with a flying key. Open your window and watch it go out :P

Myself, the great Naryar and quadruple DSL champion, going 0-2 ? How pathetic.

I didn't even tested Aldebaran, just AI'ed a NAR AI v2.4 bot and sent it without even one fight to see if it was stable when AI-ed because I was rushed :P

I forgot how much linear SnS are a bitch to make stable - It happens nearly every single one i built. Epicenter, now this one...

[/BAWWW] Oh well. Obviously I must kick my ass more if i want to win something.

Most likely he's referring to double-bar SnSes (at 180-degrees apart they make a 'line'). Disc SnS and SnS with multiple arms are much more stable.

Building skill =/= tournament success. Look at ItI.

Top DSL builders are the guys that not only are very good, but know most aspects of the game and innovate.

About that linear SnS...

Is exactly this.

But I won't
Or I could keep you guys waiting for an indeterminable amount of time.
Or I'll post the final as soon as it's done, which may be soon, or may not.
Coming to a decision is hard.
It's not really
But I think I may have to cancel it. Sorry guys.
Don't worry, of course I won't cancel it. :P

@G.K. Maybe there should be an allowance, in the sense that you take something like a 7-day ban for each day extra, but you must ask for.

For example, G.K. could say, I need another week, and gets a 49 day ban once the tourney is over. There can be a limit of 10 days, but there must be the host posting how many days he wants BEFORE the tournament ends, and he can't extend it. IF he doesn't post, the tourney is closed.

My guess is you would be, alongside Pwn, TG and Badnik. Just my guess, though.

WHY HYDRO?

Because he gave his place in the tournament up so it would be easier to run.

It is.

Full rankings, would you lot rather wait till I calculate all the KO's, or do you just want the positions / scores?

Also awards thread is up.
