Most of these robots appear to be "front-loaded." I had an idea for some sloped armor that turned on a motor but never went through with building it, sorry. Hopefully, Mystic's robot does well because I've built similar designs in DSL.hopefully my driving can lead it to victory!

If you can call "getting to the semifinals with a noob bot because half the competitors dropped out due to scheduling issues, and then getting completely destroyed by a generic HS in my one and only fight, but not seeing what even really happened because lag had me jumping all over the arena and even winning at one point" experience, then I suppose I do.
This mini tourney was really fun to participate in. I really need to get used to the speed of ironforge bots now lmao;)
(I wonder though, is there any risk of sabotage if you let strangers push buttons on your keyboard?)in theory yes. not much we can do about it unless one party uses a controller and one uses keyboard (the host can mutually exclude these) but many people don't have controllers and it's a bit tricky to get them going even so.

What I meant was, could some dipwad hijack your PC and delete system32 or something nasty.https://support.parsecgaming.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003442732-Security-At-Parsec-
Just seems like letting strangers on your computer is slightly risky.
It's not a problem here, but if anyone ever tried to do larger-scale Parsec tournaments, it could be. I hear that AI tournament hosts have to check any custom Python scripts they get sent now for that reason.
Anyway, ROUND 1 HYPE. I don't know what happened in the other fights, but there were some nail-biting moments in mine!

i've been watching all of this and enjoying this. ya know, i had this feud against pits... but when there is no AI they're actually fair, because you usually just drive into them and could have been more careful.
Also those arena flippers are entertaining as hell. The bots just fly all around the arena all the time.
seems people still build DSL-S even when the arena is meh for it. those wide plow/wide wedge robots are pretty bad in that arena cuz you get snagged all the time by the flippers. then again it makes for a funny match so :p also some bots are really too fast for that arena.
my favorite bots in no particular order are Pit Viper, Falling Star 2 and Vipress.
