even though I didnt enter i will still pick apart robots :P

Micro Vulcan - interesting wedges.... looks like it may win by pinning others
Arcade HW - cool robot but the razor set up will roughly half its effectiveness.. shame couldnt have been a bigger threat
Crush's Big Daddy - err nary dont quit DSL kay :P the wedges could be good but doesnt hold the weapon power compared to others
TtTtM - wedges dont look the best but could pull a ItI.. it looks similar :P
Altitwude - probally one of the best of the bunch.. wedges will depend but we have high expectations from sage :P
Embodiment of Blockbuster - is it a wammer ? if so the weapon sets together woudl have been better.. but it could just be fired for the splash.
Shaver BX^2 - some funky set ups there could do ok against some of the lower weaponed robots
Radioactive Meltdown - could do ok if the wedges (yet again :P) are good
Black Knight - looks cool, as I said in the showcase I think those extenders wont last long in that position.. also whats with the brown extenders ?
Rusty Syringe - could do well actually ... is a threat to numerous robots with that weapon count
Killdozer 2 - <3 best looking robot of the bunch, possible winner too, if (can you guess this next part?) if the wedges are good
Nuclear Fallout - if the battleshots that were posted mean anything this will be a robot to beat
EoBOSS - 36 weapons with that setup.. could be lethal but im guessing batteries or drive were neglected
Windmill - thats.. umm a bit odd.. question I have is the outer Z-teks and center razors ? how are they attached
Atomic - another good weaponed robot but also another that has weak drive
Go Up Here 2 - cant see the drive from the picture.. but MW drive will hurt
Press This Easy Button To Die - could pin well but I fear its chances against one of the pop up's

also 17 entries ?

To answer a few questions:

Stag and Sage are in a wildcard.

Powerrave's bot is a popup.

Those extenders just happen to be the skin I had at the time of the screenshot.

Go Up Here 2 is 4WD

Also, the brackets are up.

Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Pwnator on June 01, 2010, 06:31:44 AM
My wedges aren't that good. I built it mainly for the looks.

And Sage's bot looks the best IMO, but unless that ballast works well enough Ounce will win this tourney. XD
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: NFX on June 01, 2010, 06:40:23 AM
Me against Jonzu, HS vs. VS/Flipper......that's going to be interesting. =D

Wildcard: Depends on wedges, but I still reckon Sage'll clinch it.

Ounce vs. Sage: Popup vs. Popup, Wedges vs. Wedges......Ounce. Just.
Naryar vs. Gazea2: Two similar wedges, but that plow could stop Nar just short of the weapon. I'm gonna say Naryar takes it.
Jonzu vs. NFX: Traditionally, HS always beats VS. Kinda depends on the speed that we meet, but I think Jonzu just might win.
Pwnator vs. S_M: There are ten plows on S_M, which is a lot to get through. Pwn's wedges'll definitely get under them, though, but I reckon S_M'll probably rupt at that point, and possible throw Pwn OOTA. S_M gets my pick.
GF93 vs. Doomkiller: GF's weapon setup is a little bit awkward, and Doomkiller is somewhat better protected. Doom to go through.
090901 vs. G.K.: Really tough one to call, but I think Windmill could just pull it off.
Somebody vs. JD: I do like the look of JD's wedge, but I think Somebody could grab an opening and take a wheel off. Somebody, I think.
Bubbles vs. Powerrave: Iron meets iron with a similar drivetrain, Powerrave has the wedges, and the extra protection, I think Powerrave.

Ounce vs. Naryar: Ounces wedges definitely looked more potent in the showcases...I'm gonna give this to Ounce.
Jonzu vs. S_M: I don't think S_M'll be able to get close enough to use the flippers effectively, but the plows could prove crucial here. I think Jonzu wins on points, personally.
Doomkiller vs. 090901: Gonna be close, but I think Doom just edges it.
Somebody vs. Powerrave: Again, depends on the wedges, but I think Somebody could clinch it.

Ounce vs. Jonzu: Ramplates come in very handy, and Ounce goes through to the final.
Doomkiller vs. Somebody: Wedges, wedges, wedges.........really tough to call, but I think......Somebody.

Ounce vs. Somebody: Personally, I think Ounce has the better wedges, but it's probably gonna be another close fight. Ounce becomes champ, for me.

Post by: Gazea2 on June 01, 2010, 07:40:42 AM
My predictions:
Micro Vulcan - Strange wedges...I'm not too sure how far this will go.
Arcade HW - Looks good but the razors may fall off quickly.
Crush's Big Daddy - It could do a lot of damage. Looks like I'm in for one heck of a fight. :P
TtTtM - Could do a lot of damage but the wedges could be longer.
Altitwude - Strange wedges but it looks like a killer.
Embodiment of Blockbuster - Looks a bit messy. If it is a wammer then it could do a lot of damage.
Shaver BX^2 - Looks good. Will the face spinners reach the opponent?
Radioactive Meltdown - My bot. I won't comment on it. :P
Black Knight - Looks like it could take out wheels easily. It could go very far.
Rusty Syringe - It looks like a good rammer. Is it fast enough?
Killdozer 2 - A rebuild of my bot! It looks good with a very scary weapon rack.
Nuclear Fallout - Looks good. Are the wedges good enough?
EoBOSS - A 36 HS. The motors look a bit exposed.
Windmill - A bit strange. It looks like the weapons are slightly off center.
Atomic - Has a lot of weapons. Maybe the wedges could stick out a bit further.
Go Up Here 2 - Looks like a good popup.
Press This Easy Button To Die - Looks like it could deal a lot of damage.

:D

Notes about Go Up Here 2: 14 razor tips on 3 DDTs, 4 HPZs, and above average wedges.

I think your bot is actually quite potent, Powerrave. =P

rawr i forgot i have to get out of the wildcard... oh well.

@ Joe- The wedges are good :)

Sage, you're only against Stag.
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: nicsan2009 on June 01, 2010, 03:33:45 PM
prediction time.
wild card i say sage will win it

Ounce vs Sage i think ounces bot has the lower wedge sooooo i think ounce would win
naryar vs gazea2 naryar takes it due to his beter weopons
Jonzu vs NFX classic HS vs VS but HS always win so i give it to Jonzu
Pwnator vs S_M Pwnator has better weopons and a better wedge so i say Pwnator
GF93 vs doomkiller doomkiller has the edge all the way to much more armour than GF93
090901 vs G.K. 090901 due to supperior gut ripping skills
somebody vs jack daniels somebody because he has a lower wedge
bubbles vs powerwave power wave this one was easy

R2
Ounce vs Nary whoever gets lower will win so i think the ounce will win
Jonzu vs pwnator oooooooooooooooh close one but i say pwnator cause of his raw power
doomkiller vs 090901 simmalar designs but i say doomkiller
somebody vs powerwave powerwave because he has a supperior design

Semis
Ounce vs pwnator the ounce will be able to get lower so i say the ounce will win
doomkiller vs power wave it looks like power wave has more power but i say doomkiller does so i say doomkiller

finals
Ounce vs Doomkiller Ounce has a lower wedge more power and a better design so congradulation to the ounce you have my vote to win this

Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: The Ounce on June 01, 2010, 05:47:18 PM
Quite the competition here really.

Anyway, thoughts:
Macro Vulcan: If it has good wedges and can flip well, then this is a bot to watch out for.
Arcade HW: I'm not a fan of the two-extender setup, much less when it's even more exposed than it normally is, but at least it has front armor.
Crush's Big Daddy: If higher concussion does equal more damage to components, then this should be able to take out those HS motors with ease.  I don't know about the wedges though.
Tribute to Tribute to Mayhem: Long name is long.  The weapons look good, but I think they're too far back to do the wedges any good.
Embodiment of the Blockbuster: More weapons = bigger hits, except when there's not a lot of force behind them.  Hopefully it has enough power to wield those weapons.
Shaver BX2: Interesting hybrid, but how good is the wedge and drive?
Radioactive Meltdown: Not enough armor for my tastes, and why so many wedges in this tournament?
Altitwude: Well-built, as expected from Sage.  How well it fares will depend on the wedges.
The Black Knight: Are the spinners the only weapon on this?  Why does it look like a popup?
Rusty Syringe: That is an uber-exposed weapon connector; it's toast if its opponent hits this.  Looks good other than that.
Killdozer 2: Deadliest stock wammer I've ever seen.  Again DoW.
Nuclear Fallout: New title holder of "best non-ballast wedge ever", but sometimes has trouble against PitA 8 and a few HSs.  I'm pretty confident in my chances other than the arena.
EoBSS V: Doesn't look as deadly as some 36-HS, but it should do well just because it is one.
Windmill: I wonder if it performs well with the absence of a trapping mechanism.  Should do well though if it has good wedges.
Atomic: Wedges look too short, but might have a lot of weight in front of them = theoretically better.
Go Up Here 2: I'm kinda disappointed Somebody :P.  I personally think the rebuild should have been based off of the Doomed Bots Version.  Lots of weapons and enough armor to beat the HSs, but what about the wedges?
Press This Easy Button To Die: If the wedge is good enough then it might beat another wedge or two, but it might not sadly.

Match Predictions:
Nuclear Fallout versus Atomic or Altitwude: If either of them can out-wedge both Hot Wheels and PitA 8, then I'm screwed.  Chances are for Nuclear Fallout though.
Crush's Big Daddy versus Radioactive Meltdown: Generally Popups tend to have the better wedges than VSs, but this VS's wedges look good.  Could go either way but I'm leaning toward Crush's Big Daddy.
EoBSS V versus Tribute to Tribute to Mayhem: If TtTtM can get to those vulnerable weapon motors fast enough, then it could win.  Otherwise it looks like EoBSS V will win this.
Killdozer 2 versus Macro Vulcan: Killdozer 2 would win because it has wide wedges compared to Macro Vulcan, but if Macro Vulcan can flank it then it's all over.
Arcade HW versus The Black Knight: It depends on how quickly they can do damage to each other, but Arcade HW just might be able to KO its opponent's chassis faster.
Windmill versus Shaver BX2: Windmill looks like it has the better wedge here, but its lack of a trapper could give Shaver BX  a chance to recover.
Go Up Here 2 versus Press This Easy Button To Die: PTEBTD's wedge doesn't look too efficient, so Go Up Here 2 is very likely to win.
Rusty Syringe versus Embodiment of the Blockbuster: Popups usually beat rammers, and the armor on this one will help against Rusty Syringe's high weapon count, so Embodiment of the Blockbuster wins.

Hahah. I'm dooomed. XD

I didn't even test the bot outside the bot lab.  No idea how the wedges will fare.  Somebody will surely take the win.

Will be nice to see Somebody win with a bot that does not spin in circles.  :P

I love the fact that everyone's going on about how good Bubbleman's bot is, and it is good, but the bot isn't even 500kg.
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on June 02, 2010, 04:34:02 AM
Just like to say my middle wedge sometimes goes under the ground, therefore it is unoutwedgeable (Is that a word?)
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Doomkiller on June 02, 2010, 04:37:11 AM
@G.K. Wait what?

And where's MEH?

Anyway, I reackon it's awsome that just about everyone (cept ounce :P) thinks I will get into at least the semi finals :D

Just wanna say, my robot is a wedged HS, pins very well and is a wedge eater. Unless your NWb :/

Doom's only just been able to get his update to me. He accidently sent the wrong update before, so I think it's only fair to let him have his update. The splash is updated.

Doom, AoR had to pull out due to lack of time. You took his place in the main bracket. Badnik had to pull out too, but because he can't build in stock.

I'm hoping that when I come on tomorrow, in 9 hours time, I shall have a skin to use, so I can crank out a match before I go to school. *hint hint* *nudge nudge* *quack quack*

I can do a skin right now if you send me it. Compare the two, and choose the best.

Quick work, but i thought it looked good. Went into the GMF and changed the wall color, also added transparency for ease of viewing and camera work. Changed the sky color from blue to black to make it less contrasted and sleeker looking. The floor is just a really cool version of the logo with emphasis on the flame and the words "etched" into the metallic background. Used a large .bmp file for higher quality.

Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on June 07, 2010, 06:22:59 AM
can easily be changed

I just like the blue as warm colors draw attention and give the optical illusion of being a lot closers to you making veiwing not as good, look at Sage's.. the fire of the logo pops out more then the robots making it distracting or annoying to look at when the robots are near.

TBH, I really like both. The best scenatio would be if I could I have both, and use Sage's for the main bracket, and Joe's for the losers bracket and rumble. Would that be ok with you guys?

They both are nice, IMO... better than I have time to turn out.
Another idea: You could also write a simple py edit, so that it loads both; each one alternately, or randomly.... NP.
Whatever you like...

lol always thinking arnt you

the code would have to randomize GMF's as myself and Sage edited them differently

also did I send along the new python GK ? I changed the arena background in it to black?

if you want the black background

In ALL other arenas, my middle wedge goes under the ground, this allows all wheels to touch the ground.
Apparently in this arena this doesn't happens so I get no traction.

Take pride in your robots, embrace them, try to convince others that they are semi-acceptable even though you know that they are not (Like I did with Ripterra).

You do, I got my words muddled up. I meant a match away.

@Sage: I dunno, but that's how tourneys go. You're not out of everything yet. You might make it to the rumble, and then win that, and there are awards too.

Post by: NFX on June 12, 2010, 06:21:48 AM
Doomkiller vs. Pwnator: I'm gonna give this to Pwn. Frontal armour should stymie DK's spinners, and then it's just a case of getting through those ramplates. Just don't pull a Rage III.
090901 vs. Naryar: Again, depends on wedges, but I think Nar might win this one. Big hits will probably beat consistently damaging here.

Pwnator vs. Naryar: Really not sure about this one. On instinct, after watching my epic failure (=P) I'd say Pwn. 6WD Rammer's got a heck of a lot of force behind it.

Somebody vs. Pwnator: I think I will give this to Somebody. I can sense Pwn riding up Somebody's wedges, possibly being stopped by the ramplates, but eventually a Rage III will occur.

Somebody vs. Ounce: Pretty much a carbon copy of the Winner's Bracket Final, really. Ounce 4 Champ. =P

Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Naryar on June 12, 2010, 06:49:16 AM
I call that a popup/wammer hybrid... plus it drives like fail

And your bot should NOT have been AIed with rammer.py ! It's the second AI failure i see for wammers !
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Pwnator on June 12, 2010, 06:50:49 AM
Popup? O_o

And it uses OmniRam. :P
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Naryar on June 12, 2010, 06:54:42 AM
OmniRam uses Shove... aka the same tactic as Pusher.py (that is close enough to rammer.py). My point is that wammers need Engage tactic, not ram back and forth. At least against wedges.

Yes, i consider my bot a popup... well it's not like the generic popup, but it doesn't exactly attacks the top of bots like a real hammer does

What the heck are you talking about nobody ever said anything like that. Take pride in your robots, embrace them, try to convince others that they are semi-acceptable even though you know that they are not (Like I did with Ripterra). And if you do not like thae level that your robots are at, and you dont know how to fix it, get showcasing and it will help.
Well, that was more typed in a blind rage really, seeing as that mistake involving spinner layout meant I didn't even win a round, even losing to Jonzu of all people.
 
And I do have a showcase, but I haven't updated it in a while. Might post something soon, though.
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Somebody on June 12, 2010, 12:45:05 PM
And remember, it could be a good bot, and not win, or be a bad bot and win.
Chernobyl was a good bot and did below expectations in BBEANS 5.
Psyco Sweeper was a poor bot and matched the record of Chernobyl in BBEANS 4.
Its all in the matchups!
For another example, either The Mini Warrior or AAAAAAAHHHHHhh COME ON are going to fin a match, and neither would have a chance against pretty much any other bot.

You got a bad matchup against Jonzu, because he went for the tougher weapons instead of armor.
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: NFX on June 12, 2010, 01:26:18 PM
It is a lot to do with matchups. Like in Wild Robots 2, I got some lucky matchups in the first round, but Pwnator got possibly one of the toughest brackets against ACAMS, meaning I got through to the second round and Pwn didn't, even though Pwn's bot was probably a lot better than mine.

Maybe I'll rebuild it to Starcore standards sometime. I've got the v3 version, so maybe I'll try to learn from them.

Post by: The Ounce on June 12, 2010, 03:26:51 PM
I honestly think that I'm going to lose to Naryar in the grand final.  CBD clearly has the best wedges in this tournament (though if this were in the Combat Arena, NF would rape), and I don't think I could get lucky like I did in round 2.  Anything can happen though.

I've tried to pull out all the stops for the final, I made slightly better presentation, and used my best music which I saved for the occasion.

I've not got any prizes thought out yet, and probably won't have, except automatic entry into BTTB 2 for the champion.

EDIT: BAH! I just realised that I forgot to credit Reier for the Music.

Hey Ounce. I'll trade you the third round of our BBEANS Match for the third round of this match.  :bigsmile: Good deal isn't it.

But really, I had no clue that Go Up Here 2 would do this good at all, never mind in the finals. And when it won the first match I was freaking out because I thought I had just won the tourney and then I had to win again and I was close and oh well great match Ounce and great tourney G.K. I'm definitely competing in the next one.

Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on June 26, 2010, 08:42:48 AM
yeah you can

just make a second forward back command called Hammer

THZ should "drop" all other controls while another robot is in the SZ (hit area)

a version of THZ was used for 123's CC3 entry.. to drive back and forth when a robot is underneath
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: G.K. on June 26, 2010, 08:48:44 AM
I don't fully get you. If it's not working at the time I try it, can I PM it to you so you can have a look at it and fix it?
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on June 26, 2010, 08:52:34 AM
a torque reaction hammer needs to drive forward and backward to attack correct ?

so make a second "Forward" control only name it "Hammer"

add the SZ (Whipzone I think) in front of the robot

and when an opponent is in that zone the robot wont attempt to drive forward or left/ right only "hammer" (which you wired to go forward and backward)
Title: Re: BTTB - Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Naryar on June 26, 2010, 08:56:08 AM
OK, so if THZ forgets other controls it's perfect for it.

But the smartzone should be circular, vertical and between both discs.

the difference is in the event of a count out THZ will use the Forward controls to break the count, Frenzy.py does nothing which was the problem I had with Terrorhurtz.
