Congrats to LRA2 for entering an actual roughly decent bot in a tournament, unlike the current noob that entered a SFTW on purpose.

And obviously there HAD to be some gay-ass crawler in this...

It might get OOTA'd quickly though and i hope so... just like my bot and i don't hope so :P

I still consider yours the third worst in the tourney... it has clearly not enough weapons, but that doesn't compare with LLB's and Stag's bots that could be beaten by a few really good antweights as well.

But atleast it's original in it's obviousness. Meanwhile, 'Death Device' for an apparent flipper...
Is that "Gonna win" for me winning or you? Admittedly MCGD's weakness is that it's not invertible and doesn't have a srimech... but it does hover on the ground so it won't stay still to be counted out - thus doing a little AI abuse (Baiting the robots into thinking it's actually mobile) but anyway, if you can't flip it or get under it then... what else can you do?

I made it just for you :evilsmile: , Give me a F****** break I can't have fun my last tourney and besides Crawlers don't have tails and they don't spin like sns's so kiss my Assassain A$$ :p  . @JB I tried Nary .py it crashed my game three times and when the game finally worked my bot didn't move lol. I'm still waiting to see how your .py will affect my bot. If yours dosent work you can use the FBSPLUS.

You are underestimating probably half of the bots you said you'll beat. Five thousand dollars says your bot will get wrecked in the first round.

So, is anyone gonna say what's bad with my design instead of saying 'WTF' or 'lol'? XD it's hardly very helpful :P

The picture makes it look like it does not even have wheels... I know better though. ;D

The Full report:

123STW: Unique... I mourn the lost opportunity to paint that cube yellow with a smiley face of some sort... I suppose 123 is just too serious to think like that. Cant wait to see it in action.
90901: Tried and tested VS... nothing too special.
Ashman12: once the irons are gone (and there is only four) it is a sitting duck.
Avalanche: I wonder what is hiding in the box?
Badnik96: I like the design, it looks cool... I don't think it will be very effective though.
Clickbeetle: Why do I have a funny feeling that this thing uses a very special AI that will make our jaws drop. (you read it here first)
Condor33: Spiffy. because it has a fast drive I think it will do some damage... should have put a brace behind the saws to keep bots from going over though...
Craaig: Looks can be deceiving... I think this beast actually is meaner than we think.
Doomkiller: Nice popup! makes me wish that firestorm flippers were paintable like a chassis though.
GK: Tires: "Noooes dont eat me!"  All other bots: "Om nom nom nom!"
Hazm47: Sporty. I have a funny feeling this thing will launch itself Out of the Arena right off the bat by slicing under bots and not stopping when the walls drop.
JD: Anti-Death-from-above!
JoeBlo: If you squint... it looks like Megatron. I am hecka curious what this thing does.
Jonzu95: Nice bot! An excellent effort. I think it will actually do well depending on the weapon motor.
LdL: When the sawblades go... the DSL bars will do damage. I think this thing will be a PITA.
Linck: I like it! Getting to that cube without a wedge will be tough.
LLB: Y'know... I always liked the color green on those ant wheels... thats about all I can say.
MikeNCR: Looks like a beast... and one of the few bots that could pull off looking cool IRL.
Naryar: I am learning a few things looking at this design. Should do well!
The Ounce: Traditional gut ripping fun! nice balance to the design.
Pwn: This bot scares me... mainly because Pwn took into account that stablity is all important with an arena that does not have walls (sometimes).  This is my pick to win the whole damn thing.
Redline: This will be a very strong contender too. It will throw bots off kilter and feast on them.
Reier: I am disappointed with you... you had an opportunity to skin your bot to look like a lego and you passed it up. To the corner with you.
Ribbs: Nice design. Should be stable and capable.
Roboshark: If this wedge becomse superior... 123STW will be buying the Canadian some Molson Ice. Very unique design too!
Russian Roulette: In theory... a rammer/pusher would boot some bots out as the walls come down... However is it too fast to stop itself from going out?
System32: hmmmmm *thinks* hmmmmm... anti wedge eh? I hope it works.
Sage: Is that a castor on the bottom of that thing: Man this thing is wide... pretty risky if you ask me.
Scrap Daddy: Evil little beast! Should be able to chew up some of these bots really good! Semi-finalist for sure.
Somebody: All that within the weight limit? Gads! that is clever.
SM: Cutest bot in the tournament *gives it a biscuit*
SomeStrangeGuy: Best looking bot! Damage factor? I dunnoo... I guess we will see.
stagfish: Whoever gets to face these two in the first round won the clash cubes lottery.
STC: Looks menacing... I doubt it will stay on its wheels for long though.
TeamZOG: Yay! Kegger for us! *grabs the tap* Where do I attach it? You have some learning to do! But you are new... I hope you learn to make better spinners in the future.
Temi: Do slow motors with fast motors really pose any benefit to a bot at all with drive?
Thyrus: Cool looking! I am looking forward to watching this one!
Triton: you were two plows or skirts away from totally pushing bots around. I think this thin design will just graze bots after the first hit.
Trumpetguy: ahhhh! so this is why everyone thinks he is so awesome with building bots. Masterful. Another Semi finalist indeed.
Urjack: Its a flipper! a pretty nasty one too! It's going to piss some people off really bad.
Viper: The final song of Vipers album. I gotta say man, when you leave you leave with a bang. This thing is going to do some damage.

Post by: Badnik96 on January 11, 2010, 04:18:56 PM
my predictions:
123: Looks difficult to KO with raised chassis and protected extenders. Will probably lose.
090901: Obvious Mako clone is obvious. Might beat it depending on how good Mako wedges are :P
Ashman: Not much weaponry, will probably beat it.
Avalanche: Obvious fail is obvious. Not the worst bot still.
Me: I like my design. The original's weapons broke off too easily. You'll be surprised at how good the wedge is and how good it gutrips :P
Click: Can't tell what it's intended to do but it's Click's style to go form over function.
Condor: Not as good-looking as his other CC entries, looks like it won't do as well either.
Craaig: I like it! :) Very cool, will probably go far.
DK: Nice popup, one of the bots that will beat mine.
GK: Reminds me of Dance of the Freaky Circles, will do as well as said bot.
H@zm: I gotta say it will beat me.
JD: hmmm. Cool design and well-armored, but low damage potential.
Joe: Another flail hammer? I was expecting a flail flame SnS. Cool, but not very combat effective.
Jonzu: Ghey name. Pretty good VS. I can probably beat it though.
LDL: wat. First saw/SnS hybrid I've ever seen. But not that good.
LiNcK:Good HS, but has an exposed weapon motor.
LLB: SFTW.
Mike: Reminds me of Grey Matter. Will go far. If me and him meet, expect sparks to fly.
Nary: I thought flails were "ghey"? Nice use of Killalot Drills.
Ounce: Another bot I have no chance against.
Pwn: Another bot I will lose to.
Red: cool skin, effective bot. I like it.
Reier: MW Tofu! Effective, but I can see it losing to a popup.
Ribbs: Cool. Not sure whether I will beat it or not. It all comes down to the wedge effectiveness.
R0B0: Nice juggler. Can see it going far. Will lose to it.
RR: Good rammer. Average.
Sys32: Wow! An undercutter! Not my pick to win, but will go far.
Sage: Is that caster armor on the bottom? Good VS, but lotsa extender work. If I can get behind it I will win.
Scrap: Nice use of Vlad forks. Strong FS, but lack of wedge will be it's downfall.
Somebody: Hmmm... I will lose to it. Gotta pray it loses before me.
S_M: Pretty cool design, but not very damaging.
SSG: looks fast, but weapons with normals=fail.
Stag: Multibots have never fared well in tourneys. Also, weapon fail.
STC: Nice VS, but it has no wedge.
TeamZog: the chassis could have been made much smaller, giving you weight to add more weaponry. Another fail bot.
Temi: Nice weapon rack, but lotsa extender work and no bottom armor will be its downfall.
Thyrus: Another form over function bot, but with the amount of subpar bots here, could win at least one fight.
TriTon: Nice rammer, and cool name as well. will probably end up OOTA.
TG: Will win at least one fight. I can see me losing to it.
Urjak: One of my faves to win. If I can get under it though, I will probably win.

You have to stop criticizing us in a way LRA2 did (yes he is dead and gone but,) you need to look at others showcases because I'm sure as heck that the blade barrier design works. Don't be over confident you critical turd.

Really? How so? does the unrealistic physics engine make it so that the slow motors actually give it a little extra power rather than (like real life) slow the bot down with the added friction. I always avoided such a setup thinking it was of no benefit whatsoever. hmmm.

Exactly, but it's not really worth it since it could probably be faster with 2wd and better wheels/motors.

I'm going to lose... badly, and considering my current tournament record, that's saying a lot.  I just don't think my entry fits for a tournament like this, but I had no other choices.

Some really nice-looking bots though.   :bigsmile:

Post by: 123savethewhales on January 11, 2010, 05:13:10 PM
Some comments

Click - would be better without the axle wedge.  Axle wedge just isn't strong enough to get under metal hinge/small wedge in most cases, so it does not help in preventing OOTA.

Doomkiller - my guess is the wedge would be better if it's slightly longer.  Since it's a popup we will have to see how well the wedge performs.

The Ounce - Solid, should finish off bot relatively fast when get under.

Robo - I can't guess how well the wedge will perform.

Scrap Daddy - A solid bot in close arena, but might get OOTA in this one.

Urjak - I don't doubt it's ability to toss, so it comes down to how well the wedge performs.  I think it will have problem getting under small wedge/metal hinge.

As for mine, well lighten up.  Not everybody has to enter a bot intending to win.  And besides my very serious VS still lost on round one during the last tournament anyway.  With some luck this bot might just outperform my previous one.

That bot would fail in all the matches with things in the middle :\

Their is no hazards, The walls are low like  in the DSL tournment arena and the walls move counterclockwise or clockwise I forgot.( every 30 sec or so a part of the arena wall is removed so in some parts of the arena their will be no wall in 30 sec intervals).

My thoughts.

Flying Quillatine: Quite nice, one bot i don't want to face

Hammer on fire: Good, but it looks like the blade doesn't have very good reach since it's almost right next to the chassis

Prejudice Box Jr v2: I'm a little worried about that skirt hinge wedge

Death Device: SFTW #1

Masher 2010: Piglets probably wouldn't make those discs go fast, since those discs are quite heavy

Kheper: It's beautiful *tear*

Micro Phobik: I'm a little bit concerned about the wedges

BMMB-C: Does that thing even have wheels? I can't tell due to bad angle pic

Wizet: Kewl

100% No BFE: Fatboy wheels aren't the best choice for an SnS

Shortsighted Surgeon: That thing looks like it has a hard time turning

Haphazard 2: Another good one

Whiplash Effect: Looks good

Revenge of Dawn: Skirt hinge wedges fail on VS.

Face Gasher: Saw blades for a SnS?

Danger Box 1.9: Must be hard to control

Danger Cute Axe Upgrade: SFTW #2

Postmodern Cubism: I'm scared

Fallen Hero: *heart attack due to epicness of bot*

Tunneler: Nice

Anti-Matter: Metal hinge wedges and VS don't mix

Mobile Cube Grinding Device: Just razors?

Turbulence: Love it

Douja Raze: Not the best choice for weapons and wedges

Schizoid: Awesome!

Grucho Marx: Not the best choice of weapons for rammers

I'll do the rest later.

Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Doomkiller on January 11, 2010, 07:19:53 PM
Hmmm, first try at predictions:

123STW: Pretty sweet looking bot, with a hard to reach chassis. Some bots might be able to ripped off the exposed extenders though
90901: Looks like another DOAM ripoff. Wedges are my main concern for this bot, as most bots here have metal hinges
Ashman12: Too step of skirt wedge, and not enough weapons for my liking
Avalanche: ummmm, flipper? or pop up? either way, that chassis is gona be a snack to most bots here
Badnik96: Nice looking robot, lets just hope it traps and grinds well, or it's a gona
Clickbeetle: Ummmm..... What is it?
Condor33: Nice saw bot, could be deveastating
Craaig: Doesn't look too bad, some hang time can be expected
Doomkiller: Glad I made the desicion for more razors and less external armour. And yes, I wish I could paint the firestorm flipper.
GK: just don't like those exposed wheels
Hazm47: Fast, but maybe a bit too fast. Could've benefitted from a trapping device though. Looks good overall
JD: Loads of amour, might just win cause of all those firestorm flippers
JoeBlo: pop up, flipper? whatever it is, it looks pretty cool
Jonzu95: I am agreeing with everyone esle, just looks unrealistic. Looks good nonetheless, and might surprise some people.
LdL: Fast, but just doesn't seen to have the weapons to get the job done
Linck: Will be tough to get to that chassis, the hammers will just fling other bots away as they get close
LLB: looks like a bot my sister built....
MikeNCR: The master is back with a cool looking robot. Worried about how wedgy it is though
Naryar: Very nice, and good use of Sirk drills. Must clone it one day
The Ounce: Couldn't done better myself. Nice job, hope to see this go far
Pwn: Great, just what I wanted to see. Will go quite far
Redline: Fast, and hopefully wedgy, should also do well
Reier: Yeap, another bot I wanted to see
Ribbs: Quite like this one. should gut rip very well, and be a quick killer
Roboshark: YAY panic attack skirts. Quite a cool design, I expect it to go far
Russian Roulette: Another good idea here, could just push opponents right off the arena
System32: looks good, lets just hope I can get to that chassis, as it will be hard to do.
Sage: DAM INVUNERIBLE CASTORS!!1. Well, there goes my hopes
Scrap Daddy: Not too sure. Has the trapping capablilties, but no wedge on a FS just feels weird to me...
Somebody: I was wondering how you would make this bot. Nice
SM: just not long enough weapons to keep the other bots away from the wheels
SomeStrangeGuy: Very cool looking bot, but why are the eteks black? or is it just a skin?
stagfish: Kinda reminds me of the worms weapon, kamikaze, cept on worms, it was actaully dangerous
STC: Nice, but what about stabililty
TeamZOG: loads of defense, but not enough attacking capabilities. Might outlast other bots though
Temi: doesn't look to bad, but might've benefitted from better wheels
Thyrus: awsome. Wondering how it will do in battle though
Triton: Fast and pushy, nice idea with the extenders
Trumpetguy: another nice Fs. Will go far
Urjack: MOAR hang time FTW
Viper: Hah, you got some courage sending in a crawler with naryar around :P Can see it being a PITA to some bots, like mine

Part 2 of my thoughts

Prophecy: MW Blue Moon? Nice

CUBEBORG: Polycarb extenders are everywhere

Disturbance Strategy: Nothing too special

SnSnS 3: Custom component alert!!! Oh wait...

Flail Monkey: Taz wheels aren't very good

Crazed Fireman: Lovely

Kamikaze Cubes: It doesn't look very good, but the only reason it's not an SFTW is because it's a cluster bot

Navi: Zelda reference FTW

Spinny Cube Thingy: Shark teeth aren't very good, and impossible to remove

Skeletone of Rambo: Pretty good for a newcomer

The Atilla Cube: Kewl

Critical X: I regret putting on that DSL Bar, also for those who may be wondering, this bot is a rammer/wacker hybrid

Alphabet Without Letters: 50/50

Terminal Force: One bot I don't want to face

The Devil's Vortex: rammer/crawler hybrid? Nice

Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Scrap Daddy on January 11, 2010, 09:36:13 PM
123STW: Probably will be annoying for everything but VS, but there are a lot of them...
90901: A VS. Pretty well built with outdated wedges but who knows.
Ashman12: Not nearly enough weapons
Avalanche: Looks like a flipper? Might get a win since its not a total crapshoot like some... :P
Badnik96: Pretty good. All depends on the drive.
Clickbeetle: Not a lot of bots that Kheper would do extremely well against since there is a lot of VS but still awesome.
Condor33: Nice looking but but axle wedges :/
Craaig: Does it have wheels behind that? :P I hope its not some flopper.
Doomkiller: The only pop-up and its pretty good.
GK: Not bad just probably too much weapon motor power and not enough weapons
Hazm47: Could be too fast with this arena?
JD: Going to be soooooo annoying to kill. I expect some win by points :P
JoeBlo: Interesting flipper <33
Jonzu95: Looks like some of the other VS. Might do decent.
LdL: Saw blades on a SnS...
Linck: Pretty good bot. Could be a supriser
LLB: Hehe
MikeNCR: Nice but axle wedges...
Naryar: Easily my favorite bot. Should do well
The Ounce: Nice FS. Should do well
Pwn: The best of all the VS. Hinge wedge and overall awesome. Should go far
Redline: Looks fast and probably will push some bots off the side.
Reier: Another SnS. SnS wreck in DSL soooo
Ribbs: I like Ribbs' entry. Shoudl do well
Roboshark: Second favorite bot. Looks cool and I wonder how good these wedges are.
Russian Roulette: Could do well with the arena
System32: Pretty good but maybe a tad skimpy on weapons
Sage: Sage enters another bot that hides up high(just like in Brawl of Builders >:O) Should do well if it doesnt break its extenders. :P
Scrap Daddy: Doesn't need wedges since its covered in armor. My thoughts on doing pretty good are sorta dashed now with the arena. :/
Somebody: I just hate how sloppy Somebody builds his bots and im pretty sure Slimbodies aren't weapon motors unless they are prizes like the hammers.
SM: I like it but not enough weapons
SomeStrangeGuy: Awesome bot. I hope those axes are somewhat decent in DSL
stagfish: Waste
STC: I worry about wedges and stability
TeamZOG: I like how this guy builds but its not going to go very far...
Temi: Not bad but the drive is pretty faillll
Thyrus: Looks cool but dunno how well it will do.
Triton: Strikes me as a bot that will drive straight off the arena
Trumpetguy: A nice FS. SHould do well.
Urjack: Nice flipper. Should do well.
Viper: CRAWLERSS

ok bracket for the first "round" or "event" is up

everyone gets a base score of 10 then gain 10 points for each round they advance

you will notice the bracket ends with 3 remaining robots, this means there will be 3 robots finishing on even points, there is no final for the brackets until the last one (number 7/7)

Post by: Naryar on January 12, 2010, 05:44:25 AM
Complete predictions!

Flying Guillotine: Is a cool, well built an unique design, but will fail hard at one point.
Hammers on Fire: Cloning anyone ? It's decent enough but still outdated wedges.
PBJ12: Insufficient weapon weight is insufficient.
Death Device: Congrats for not building the actual SFTW of thetournament. Can win 1 or 2 fights but is too tall and not balancedenough to get far.
Masher 2010: Decent enough... now why these heavy wheels and snowplow ?
Kheper: I am sure the design was better without wedges :P. Also highly exposed plastic extender.
Mikro Phobik: Previous champion fails at drive motors for weapons. It's not half bad though.
BMMB-C: Not half bad. Not the top VS but might get some wins.
Wizet: It's well built, but it's not wide enough and not fast enough to be really good.
100% No BFE: Clearly not enough weapon weight.
Shortsighted Surgeon: <3 the name but it's way too fast to fair well.
Haphazard 2: Creative, but heavy armor doesn't wins fights. Unless it'sopponent is a flipper or has even less weapon power it's going to loseby points.
Whiplash Effect: Not sure about the wedge. Yet again i hope Joe doesn't enters some really cool bot that fails at fighting...
Revenge of Dawn : Not half bad, but weapon motor (i am guessing a single Mag) is clearly insufficient for this weapon weight.
Face Gasher : It's not badly built apart from one thing...  the weaponweight and choice ruin everything. I hope these are not Slimbodies.
DangerBox 1.9: Yet another decent bot but Linck failed at the battery setup, and also if someone gets to the chassis...
DCAU : I'm going to be honest: bot fodder.
Postmodern Cubism : Not half bad. Still might be outwedged and gettrashed by a gut ripper. Not as impressive as i expected from a formerchampion  :confused:
Fallen Hero : Ugly blue battery ruins the screenshot  :mad: It's damn awesome in a closed arena, but i just fell i'm going to be sent OOTA by a powerful bot.
Tunneler : Top FS here (i think). Total weapon weight would have been better used at the sides of the disc, NOT at the center !
Anti-Matter : Its damn well built but the chassis is exposed.
MCGD: I love the design, but it could be built better. Why heavy steelwhen you can get a half Ti sheet on this ? It might be outwedged easilythough.
Turbulence: Solid build. I think i can beat this still  :mrgreen:
Douja Raze: It just reminds me a lot of Dreadweaver... Another prettydecent bot, but it has a highly exposed and weapon motor extender work.
Schizoid: It's awesome, but i'm not sure about the wedges.
Groucho Marx: It's not half-bad but to be good it needs a wedge. Also weapon setup could be better.
Prophecy: Pretty good, not invertible though  :mad:
CUBEZORZ: I just can see this getting thrashed with that few armor. It's still well built.
Disturbance Strategy: It would still be better with a wedge :P
SnSnS 3: *See C33* Yes, Slimbodies are for DRIVE worthless as weapon motors.
Flail Monkey: Short reach is SHORT. Also a clear lack of weapons.
Crazed Fireman: Weapon setup fail.
Kamikaze Cubes: Goddamn worthless noobs wasting entries...
Navi: COuld fair much better with more reach and a wedge. It's not half bad though.
Spinny Cube Thingy: Surprisingly, the only shell spinner here. It fails a lot on weapon weight though.
Skeletone Of Rambo: Extender work could be better and the drive fails.2WD with grippy wheels and stronger motors is MUCH better than 4WD withweak motors and un-grippy wheels.
Attila Cube: Fun design. It fails at weapon setup though.
Critical X: Weapon setup isn't the best. With that drive it's going to get OOTA faster than my bot.
Alphabet Without Letters: It's pretty good, but generic skin is generic. Armor setup could be better as well.
Terminal Force: I don't like flippers and the JX's could be placed better but it's still a good build by a top builder and can fair well in that arena.
The Devil's Vortex: THERE HAD TO BE SOME STUPID GHEY CRAWLER IN THAT OTHERWISE GOOD TOURNAMENT !!!!

You were saying? :P



Copypasta time!

Flying Guillotine: I have absolutely no idea what to call this type of bot. There are lots of VSes here, but I'm pretty sure it can still beat some of them.
Hammers on Fire: Quite nice, but I don't think a weapon bar that short could benefit the hammers.
PBJ12: Armor setup reminded me of Grey Matter X :P. But 4 irons isn't enough (unless it's a popup).
Death Device: Well, chassis size aside, it can pull of tons of wins if the wedge is good enough.
Masher 2010: Kewl. But the plow could have been used for something else.
Kheper: The non-wedged design was still better. :P
Mikro Phobik: Drive motors could also mean that the opponent could stay there longer. But I doubt the wedges are good enough.
BMMB-C: For some reason Mecha Eel came to mind. I still love it. :D
Wizet: Well, it only has a single wedge. I hope it can steer fast enough to fight those double wedges.
100% No BFE: Having static weapons would be better. But the Perms are kinda useless with those weapons
Shortsighted Surgeon: The wedge better be good or it's gonna pull a Rage III.
Haphazard 2: Also kewl, but the weapons aren't damaging enough.
Whiplash Effect: I was expecting a flail hammer, but this works too. XD
Revenge of Dawn : CUBOID CHASSIS >:E And I'm also worried about the efficiency of the weapon setup
Face Gasher : Eeh. Saws already fail as SnSes, and they won't do more when on Slims. I clone would have worked. :P
DangerBox 1.9: The drive could have been sacrificed for stronger armor or weapons. But not bad at all.
DCAU : Ehmmm... at least it does some damage.
Postmodern Cubism : I'm worried about the efficiency of the extender setup, but it does look kewl. :D
Fallen Hero : And I thought Iron Storm was annoying enough. >:E
Tunneler : An awesome wedge, and a quick killer. I think he can win this. :D
Anti-Matter : It has a great wedge alright, but if there's anything that stops it from winning, it's its massive tendency to get flanked. It's also a quick OOTAer, but there are tons of bots that can give it trouble, so I'm not looking forward to a happy run. But it's still quite dangerous when self-righting. :D
MCGD: Such a simple yet potentially deadly design. I like it.
Turbulence: Awsum SnS iz awsum. But lack of Lego skin = >:E
Douja Raze: Dreadweaver's design is deadly because it can still damage bots when outwedged. But this doesn't matter if the wedge is good.
Schizoid: I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA NAME IT AFTER A TOOL SONG >:E 'm not sure about the wedges, but it sure does look cool.
Grucho Marx: A shell killer without any shell to kill (well, one. But still). Too bad. :(
Prophecy: Yay wedge killer! Boo not invertible. :P
CUBEZORZ: I know it can fling bots up into the air. But when weapons from a flopping bot hit your extenders while falling down...
Disturbance Strategy: Hahaha I thought 123 built that. The central armor could have been removed for a wedge, though.
SnSnS 3: Nary's guess for your previously unknown entry was better. :P
Flail Monkey: A 2WD with strong drive would have been better to improve its reach.
Crazed Fireman: Why fireman's axes? D:
Kamikaze Cubes: This is srs bznss.
Navi: Rear armor could have been transferred to the front. But it's decent.
Spinny Cube Thingy: Wait. Is that a dual perm? O_O
Skeletone Of Rambo: A NPCs with Technos would have worked. But it's okay I guess.
Attila Cube: Hahaha I would love to see that in combat, regardless of whether it's a fail or not. :D
Critical X: That DSL bar has to break first before it can perform at its full potential. Too bad.
Alphabet Without Letters: Somebody still uses Sage's skins XD  but the motors could have a better attachment setup.
Terminal Force: After seeing the previous flipper, I can't wait to see how this one fares. :D
The Devil's Vortex: I never had much success in building these kind of bots. But it's a terrible choice to enter this into the CC3 arena.

Whiplash Effect: I was expecting a flail hammer, but this works too. XD

It was the Flail Hammer I showcased a while ago but the wedges failed so badly and being pushed aroudn in this arena isnt a good thing, so I used my 1 update :D changed it to a flipper with door hinge wedges and added an extra surprise with the other weight :D

@Naryar's MCGD prediction:
Yeah, steel is heavy. But without the ramp wedge the game is up. Weren't the mags really weak? And if not, the structure for them needs to be protected anyway.
So yeah, went for higher HP option to avoid any avoidable trouble.

you receive 10 points as a base score once you are placed int he bracket, those in heat 2 dont get there 10 points yet.. its just easier that way

you get 10 points for each round you win... those who had byes won a round so they get another 10 points already

heat 2 will be made up of the 20 people who are not in this bracket

As a reply to a lot of the predictions of mine, it does have wheels, although sometimes I wonder if they're any use, it's heckish to turn. I'm hoping for stuff just to hit the hammers and fly out though. Feeble hope :P

Right, might as well get on with this:


Flying Guillotine - Too high. Will get toppled easily. Makes up for this with it's potent weaponry.
Hammers On Fire - Small cube + Big weapon = Runs out of power easily.
PBJ V2 - VS. Nuff said.
Death Device - Some kind of joke, right? Oh, wait, it's avalanche.
Masher 2010 - Big blades + Big Wheels + Big scoop = Big win.
Kheper - Don't see the purpose of the small blade at the very top, but since it's one of clicks. WIN.
Mikro Phobic - Motors look breakable, disk looks... Stocky.
BMMB-C - Confusing.
Wizet - Well armoured, good drive. Unsure if it's a flipper. May just be a wedge. If so, it's going out early.
100% No BFE - An SnS. It may look as though the blades aren't moving when it spins.
Shortsighted Surgeon - Long. Thin. Overbalanced. Good weapons though.
Haphazard 2 - Basically replica parts. Can't see the weapon though.
Whiplash Effect - Another one of JoeBlo's fantastic creations.
Revenge of Dawn - VS. Balanced.  Will go far.
Face Gasher - I hate SnSs, None-symettry, and that is why I hate this.
Dangerbox 1.9 - Very damaging.
DCAU - Joke entry
Postmodern cubism - Good weapons, but it may be difficult getting robots to the discs.
Fallen Hero - WINNAR
Tunneler - Will cause damage if it can get those discs underneath.


Will do the rest later.

Lol finally someone who get the bot.  Toppled over and OOTA will be the 2 primary ways it will lose.

If driven by player it's not so bad since it has front back symmetry, as such you won't make unnecessary 360 turns.  As for how the AI will function I have to say I don't know, since I can't AI it myself I passed on to JoeBlo to help AI it for me.  Rather or not it toppled over within the first 10 seconds would determine rather or not it's any good.

The Devil's Vortex: I never had much success in building these kind of bots. But it's a terrible choice to enter this into the CC3 arena.
It was actually kind of easy to make, I was fooling around one day around trying to make a sns with no wheels. I have to agree, For this arena it prolly was not the smartest choice(a closed arena is the best choice) but o well I wanted to have some fun my last tourney :evilsmile: .
 
Nary:The Devil's Vortex: THERE HAD TO BE SOME STUPID GHEY CRAWLER IN THAT OTHERWISE GOOD TOURNAMENT !!!!. You act like their has been a Crawler in every CC tourney, And you act like this is BumbleBee, THIS IS NOT BUMBLEBEE,  It can easily get beaten by a VS or a Flipper or the ARENA. And look at the chasis is it Heavily covered with Weapons from each side like a TRUE Crawler , No. The only thing that is Stupid Ghey is your complaining so give it a  rest. O and I thought Flails are Stupid Ghey so why are you using them????? I hope we meet in the arena lol :evilsmile: .

Event 1 predictions:
RR V.S Mike: I would have to give this one to Mike because of RR's lack of a wedje on his bot.
Condor33 V.S Temi: hmm condor has the advantage with wedje and Temi has no bottom armour.
90901 V.S JD: It's going to come down who has the better wedjes.
Click V.S ZOG: I still don't know what Click's bot does but Zog dosent have enough weapons, so I give this one to Click.
LDL V.S GK: G.K has better weapons so I got him winning this.
Sage V.S SSG: I got sage winning this unless SSG takes out that extender work before his bot goes flying out of the arena.
Jonzu V.S TriTron: I got Jonzu winning this if his weapons can outlast those hammers.
S_M V.S Doom: Doom with a fast win.
LLB V.S STC: I smell a massacre :evilsmile: .

Click, I'm ashamed! You made Kepher to NOT have wedges! Tsk Tsk!

I did some testing in the CC3 arena, and it is actually better with wedges in that arena.

FYI, the purpose of those wedges is not to get under the opponent.  Kheper couldn't care less whether or not it gets under.  The purpose of the wedges is sort of like a KE absorber... a fast bot has a very hard time OOTA'ing Kheper with those floppy wedges in the way.  On the other hand, the original wedgeless version is quite easily OOTA'd.

There's nothing I can do about all those VS's though... if I run into a VS I'm dead.  Good thing there's not too many in my bracket.

Post by: Naryar on January 13, 2010, 05:57:48 AM
@Russian: You should have used a wedge, that design is just MUCH better with one.

@Match 1: Not much of a surprise...

ROUND 1 PREDICTIONS

Condor33 over Temi: Gut-ripper against fast and wedgeless rammer, the gut-ripper usually wins. But since C33 failed on weapon setup and is outweaponed, you never know

90901 over Jack: Jack isn't just powerful enough to beat that Mako clone and VS pwn in this arena. Both have same drive so it'll be a push-fest.

Click over TeamZog: TeamZog completely failed on his bot's weapon setup and isn't even a threat to Click's clamping VS. Also slower - might be pushed OOTA.

GK over LDL: Yawn-fest unless one of them uses FBS.py... but GK has the better weapon. Unless lloopp's bot can rip off the Perm 80s, it's done for.

Sage over SSG: SSG still failed on the weapon setup because axes have normals, and the bot would have been MUCH better with just 2 DSL bars 45kg hammers. Sage gets it because of better weapon, but if he gets inverted he's in trouble

Jonzu over TriTon: Triton's bot is just too fast for the arena. However, it'll probably be more that rammer defeating itself than Jozu's bot defeating it... If it drove carefully it could toss Jonzu OOTA easily but with the AI it won't.

DK over SM: Yet another SnS that fails at the weapon setup with only 34 kg of weapons on a MW not to talk about the low reach... DK has either the setup to toss it OOTA, either to gut-rip it to death.

STC over LLB: Easiest match ever. I'll laugh if Navi OOTA's itself by error though...

I'll just find the link Joe. Here we go https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar)

I think the bot should be wired like FBS.py (apanx's one) with the additional thing in the bindings specified in the .py. Nary can explain it better than me, as he wrote it.

Edit:I've sent the bot with the controls re-wired to suit the new py. Bindings and the py are included.

I thought walls changed in longer intervals, This arena is going to rape me big time lol. The bots don't even last long enough to get destroyed, I'm not even going to get a win. It's going to be CC2 all over again :vista: .

Potter's Wheels - on the same dropdown menu as Mechavore/Clep/Backlash etc discs




And Joe, it's good to take pride - technically C33 should've stated, but yeah, it's all finished now :P

Little late on predictions but here they are.

123savethewales - Flying Guillotine - Interesting concept, but dependent if the opposing bot will fit under the udder of flailing doom

090901 - Hammers on Fire - Good, stable VS. Not a SFTW by any means

Ashman12 - Prejudice Box Junior V2 - Bit lacking in weapons department. A lot lacking actually. More weapons would make this a good

Avalanche - Death Device - Not a terrible bot, although it probably can’t self-right well on its side. Contingent on how good the flippers are.

Badnik96 - Masher 2000 - Weapons aren’t terrible, although motors are rather exposed. (8000 HP yes, but if hit, they smoke and go slooooowww). Probably will gut-rip a few lesser bots.

Clickbeetle - Kheper - Probably the most rigid bot in the tournament. But c’mon Click! You call THAT a weapon!? Can’t see this going too far with that weapon.

Condor33 - Micro Phobik - Good sawbot. TWM3Rs a bit exposed, but not too much. Will probably have a good showing.

Craaig - BMMB-C - ummm… Interesting to say the least… We’ll see how this one turns out…

Doomkiller - Wizet - Only good if wedge is good. As far as I can see, the underside of this bot has just about everything exposed.

G. K. - 100% No BFE - If weapon motors weight too much, it makes weapons weak and it doesn’t matter how fast they spin. Can’t see this going very far.

H@zm47 - Shortsighted Surgeon - A little too long and skinny. Have a feeling the sides may get hit regularly. Also a bit lacking in the weapons department.

Jack Daniels - Haphazard 2 - Not the best wheels and I’m not a big fan of those Potter’s Wheels. Interesting design though. We’ll see…

JoeBlo - Whiplash Effect - May not have enough power. The “surprise” will make or break this bot.

Jonzu95 - Revenge of Dawn - This stalkerish robot brought to you by!...just kidding. Drive may be too fast and flip the bot, also the weapons are a bit lacking.

lloopp de lloopp - Face Gasher -  It won’t be gashing much with those sawblades. Drive may send it out of control in Haymaker-esque fashion as well.

LiNcK - DangerBox 1.9 - Predicting slow spinup. May have trouble self-righting. Not a terrible bot though.

Little lost bot - Danger Cube Axe Upgrade - *facepalm*

MikeNCR - Postmodern Cubism - Very good looking bot. About what you can expect from mike. Polycarbonate extenders may pose a problem though.

Naryar - Fallen Hero - Good Design, Well Built. Those Killalot spikes are kind of fragile though, and this will spin fast enough for that to make an affect.

The Ounce- Tunneler - Well built bot. Chance to do well.

Pwnator - Anti-Matter - Not totally sure what to expect out of this. Definitely chance to do well though.

RedlineM203 - Mobile Cube Grinding Device - Gut feeling says that this has something in it that none of us expect. Brain screams not enough weapons. Not sure enough to decide its fate.

Reier - Turbulence - Hammer placement exposes motors more than normal SnS, we’ll see how this affects it. Will also have freakish tendency to climb instead of knock away.

Douja Raze - Can see bots flying right over top of this. Front wedge looks steep, may also be too fast for its own good.

R0B0SH4RK - Schizoid - Interesting wedges. Want to see how this will turn out.

Russian Roulette - Grucho Marx - Proven Design. Extenders holding bars look exposed from the top though. Wedge helps too.

System32 - Prophecy - Could this bot be a sign of things to come!??! Probably not, but will kill some wedges. Popup fodder though.

Sage - CUBEZORZ - What the… Polycarbonate galore. Cannot see this doing well with that much exposed polycarb.
Scrap Daddy - Disturbance Strategy - Wedge would help this. A lot.

Somebody - SnSnS 3 - Slimbodys aren’t terrible for weapon motors, and 2500 HP too. Hell’s Hammers are also powerful (10000HP, Piercing and Concussion of 3, only 20kgs). Definitely spins quick and slimbodys get up spinning faster than you would think.

Squirrel_Monkey - Flail Monkey - Not enough weapons. Too many wheels. Can’t see this doing well.

Somestrangeguy - Crazed Fireman - Odd setup. We’ll see how those motors do though.

Stagfish - Kamikaze Cube’s - Awwwwwww… Like he was going to win anyways. At least it will be amusing to watch them die.

S.T.C. - Navi - Looks unstable, and needs a wedge badly.

TeamZOG - Spinny Cube Thingy - Not enough weapons. Nuff said.

Temi - Skeleton of Rambo - Slow motors look like they are mounted up for invertibility. Powerful weapons could grind a few bots away.

Thyrus - The Atilla Cube - Powerful, but can see this getting its wheels clipped right off.

TriTon - Critical X - Not sure what the DSL Bar does there. Fast rammer though.

Trumpetguy - Alphabet Without Letters - Well built FS. Would beat more than a few of these bots.

Urjak - Terminal Force - Can’t wait to see this in action. Not many forward- hinged flippers in tournaments these days. (or flippers at all for that matter).

Viper89 - The Devil’s Vortex - Gona be a bit tippy. Whats all this about Viper’s final tournament???

My bot isn't a wedge killer.

Well, against Hinge wedges it rips them up, but it mainly scores lots of points if a wedged bot fights it.

I'm doomed in this arena...

Full breakdown of my bot is in my DSL showcase Mr. Viper.  It is essentially a very fat sumo wrestler. The chances of any parts breaking off are pretty slim.  I shot for some of the highest HP parts in the botlab to make it a pain in the ass to kill. https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,1887.30.html

Ok cool, Thats a really good strategy because this Arena is bascially a sumo match. I think your bot is going to go far in this tourney, I love how you owned that V.S :evilsmile:  , which I consider one of the most dangerous bot types in this tourney. I hade a tough time trying to to figure your bot out because I don't see  potterwheels often(I think thats what they are).

the names were added as a straight copy and paste of the sign up thread (so the order you sent it stuff)

once points were issued those people were taken out of that order  ;)

if you have the same points as somebody you are the same position as them, so we have 3 people in 1st

your main focus is at this stage to stay above the line  ;)

These Hell's Hammers are so overpowered. I mean 3 concussion AND piercing and 10000 HP for a 20kg weapon ? That's like 5 times better than a normal weapon ! Gimme a break, for any good enough builder, using these is a near-guaranteed win.

I'm only using them to get the win.
I know their overpowered and I tried other setups. Its the best one.

Piercing makes more damage to chassis, concussion more to components (roughly).

I'm going to make a wiki page on that.

ok, How do the Hammers compare to razor tips and small( or light  can't remeber) dsl teeth that have 400+ damage? Is the 3 piercing and concussion still better?

3 piercing and 3 concussion is like 3 times better than a razor (2.18 piercing, 0.2 concussion) or a hammer (3 concussion)...

:O I thought I changed that ??? I must have sent out the wrong one


I originally modeled it as the exact frenzy hammer except double the concussion & piercing but by accident modeled the cheat hammer, I did redo it modeling the values of a DSL Hammer while retaining the Frezy Hammer HP

ok Somebody you have the choice of the following


1 - change the weapon set up on SnSnS 3


2 - keep it the same with in mind that the Hells Hammer on my game has the Values...



Code: [Select]
hitpoints = 9090
fracture = 20
concussion = 3
piercing = 0
mass = 20

either way I ask all those with the Hells Hammer to check your Text file, you all may have the same.. I will re send it out too you all  :mrgreen:  also the (corrected version) Hells Hammer will be available as a prize for CC3 too.

its top speed is standard and its acceleration is slightly more then human controlled.


its probably because your focused on Wizet and not the fact there is a very small amount of lag that comes from FBSInvertDir.py  ;)

not yet buddy still got GK's match to go

speaking of which Mad has been working hard on that py for Somebody and LDL  (and maybe for use for The Devils Vortex) but hasnt fully completed it yet.

I was talking with him and since GK's robot uses FBS from memory AI'ing LDL's with FBS shouldn't give it a disadvantage for this match as GK's robot is unable to shove it off the edge

if LDL isnt ok with this then no worries we can wait for Madiaba to finish the py before continuing on

LCAU couldnt self right from that position anyway sp while keeping mobile it couldn't achieve a gain in that position. Navi self righted just after LCAU was counted out and that wasnt even trying (robots stop movement when the other is being counted out) so I wouldn't put it past Navi to get back on the attack

Same ending, different situation imo

its a new version expanding off FBS_1 that was the robot drive to the center of the arena before spinning

if it drifts to far away or is shoved away it will attempt to make it back to the center, if the opponent is to close the robot senses that it will be in danger if it stops and it which case will continue spinning

think you up that that nar ? :P

concussion = 3
piercing = 0
mass = 20


Whoa, that's still an awesome weapon.  By my calculations it has 136,350 efficiency (E = HP*DP/Mass).  Regular DSL components are balanced at 60,000 efficiency, so the Hell's Hammer is roughly 2.27 times as good as a stock weapon.  Plus the efficiency formula doesn't take into account the size of those things...


It makes sense that the prize weapons should be more powerful so you have incentive to use them, but we'll have to wait and see if they're too powerful.  In any case Somebody will be tough to overcome.

:( sorry ashman knocked the wrong button and removed your post

you get 10 points for each match you win plus a 10 point base score you got a first round bye so you won that match

10 (base) + 10 (win against a bye) = 20

*starts firing gun randomly*

isnt that what they do in movies ?

the brackets are in heats, you are either in heat 1 or heat 2 and your only goal at this stage is to win as many rounds as you can to build up your points score.

everyone has a minimum of 3 heats with another extra 1 if you make it into the top 16

D: I was stung by the tournament curse

first the game wouldn't load arenas, then would crash if I tried to use the test arena then wouldn't load at all :O

luckily I transferred the components and AI over to another DSL (1vs2 one.. I hope RR doesn't need a back up of the robots :P)

they all landed safely and Condor, I fixed your wedge and Condor vs JD is uploading now  :gawe:

that's my story for today.

Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Naryar on January 25, 2010, 08:32:19 AM
^^ I bet he won't.

I thought
would win... and he did !

After all,
are doing pretty well in this arena.

Also, predictions !

Click vs LDL: Hmm, hard to guess. Click's small weapon is far from being the ideal one to beat a SnS, it will also have issues lowering since lloopp's bot is just so fast. Still, lloopp's weapon setup really fails (ant that i consider a disgrace to FBSPlus  :mad: ). I really don't know - i'm going to say Click wins by OOTA since it can push the SnS OOTA but still...

Sage vs Jonzu: Not an easy fight for both. Jonzu has speed for him, Sage has power for him. I'm going to say Sage because generally on a VS fight, the most powerful weapon wins.

Doom vs Ashman: Ashman's bot is inferior in every department - weapon, armor, speed and wedge. An easy victory for Doom unless he goes OOTA first when pushing, but the chances are pretty slim.

Urjak vs STC: With no wedge, inferior drive and a rather high weapon that won't hit the opposing wedge unless inverted, STC will get OOTA'd quickly... as long as Urjak's AI does not fail.

its all in heats like robot wars or battle bots, it works like a championship

you each get 3 heats.. 3 trys to make as many points as possible

the top 16 after all the heats are placed in a final bracket

My bot didn't do much though :D I'm lucky it's high up, maybe more fast bots will just go right under it hehehe.


Watch the last round a little more closely, it's pretty cool in slow-mo.


Looks like Mike is well on his way to another championship.  PMC seems good at throwing bots OOTA.  And JD is doing well as I suspected--that bot is nigh unkillable; you almost have to get it OOTA to win.


I'm worried about my next match.  Along with VS's, SnS's are one bot type that Kheper is really ineffective against.  I can only hope that Face Gasher will get destabilized so I can either saw at it or push it OOTA.


Hmm... and even if I win, I'll be up against

I really didndt think about the Arena when building my bot...
I just saw: "Clash Cubes 3 DSL MW" & Made a cubed version of the bot i was building at the time (FlatLine)
Just like CC2... Just made a cubed version of QoQ 3 xP

Most bots will come under me (Since DangerBox doesnt have a wedge) and hopefully they will Eliminate themselves...
Or if i could like lauch someone coming at full speed with my hammers taht would be nice too :D

correct, since Im loosing time in my week I need to get the bulk part of this done, videos are easy to do since I can upload and leave them uploading while I got to work or something.

also I am wanting to give Madiaba ample time to test the AI so there is no match effecting bugs for Sombody and Lloopp de Lloopp.

dont worry its slow right now but once all the AI stuff is sorted out I will start getting a heat done per fortnight  ;)

work has been taking up half of my nights a week and now as of next week I will slowly start moving into daily studies working towards my career in Graphic Design (surprise, surprise :P)

so with these time restrictions.. dont get thew idea you wont see much of me online as I will be active most days, just less then lately and also wont have so much time to devote towards Backlash.

maybe in 1 or 2 weeks depending on how much time study/ work takes out of my days. the good news is I now have a copy of 3D studio Max 5.. small hiccup with my computer stuffing up the install but once I get it on/ learn how to export parts/ create GMF files correctly you will see some more brand new stuff rolling of the production line.

But yeah, Dont push Joe coz hes doing everything completly willingly, So he can just say: I wont do it anymore

the reason for the effectiveness of the robot is that it is basically that the robot is like a saw bot that maneuvers around the opponent.

You might be able to get the same result by just using FBS.py and wire the spinner to the left/right control.

yes you could...

but take a non invertible SnS robot that rely's on spinning weapons to move about like SnSnSnSnS the constant stop-start would potentially lower mobility 

its made now so we may as well use it :P

its a little flat but more cubic then "Vipers Wrath" or "LOL Another Nub Bot"

I was going to be rather strict this time but I had allowances as long as no advantages were gained due to the not quite cubic shape

I can't beleive I took out Click.

Now its just Zog!

Ill take back what I said for now in the memorable quote thread, but honestly I'm still not impressed you beat two people will terrible weapon setups and both bots were slow  so you winning still ain't saying much( No offense to G.K or Click). Great Videos so far. Looking at Heat 2 just my luck to get a buy and still have no idea how my bot is gonna do in this arena, I hope R1885 pulls the winner over Pwn  because I think I have better chance of winning with his fragile weapon setup. Looking down I also see Somebody is in this division to, I think it would be  pretty sweet to face the the Legendary SNS builder :evilsmile: (If I beat the winner of R1885 and Pwn and if Somebody beats Robo).

Kepher has no terrible weapon setup... it's just highly specialized and fails against a non-shell, long-reach SnS.

Kheper is a wonderfully built robot and the AI is a piece of art too, it just doesn't fair to well with SnS robots,

hopfully in the next heat click gets a few battles that lets Kheper show its full potential

I think you two misunderstood what I was saying and also we might have different interpretation for (terrible weapon setups). I wasn't saying his bot was poorly built or anything about his AI, I meant that for the weight class and the type of weapons, the durability, and how  many weapons he is using it dosent look or seem like it was the best choice. Basically what I'm saying is that if loses that weapon(I'm not sure what to call it) then he is out of luck because that's his only weapon " That's what I consider terrible, and like I said this is just my opinion I know people have different opinions on weapon setups and etc...... Also looking at heat 2 again it's actually Sys32 v.s Robo, Somebody has the buy( I read the bracket wrong my fault :redface: ).

What he entered is a servo clamp VS, and an entry for originality and creativity more than raw efficiency. These generally don't have a lot of kg's on their weapon because it's not supposed to touch the opponent's weapon, but "top-rip" him.

Who cares?  A win is still a win.

Let's see where I stand...

I'm pretty sure my entry can beat Badnik's, and I doubt Redline's juggler is better than mine, but Trumpetguy's entry worries me slightly.  The only other bots in my heat that I am worried about are Scrap Daddy's and R0B0SH4RK's.  123's entry somewhat worries me but my bot seems wide enough that it can "trip" it.  I'm not worried about Fallen Hero or Antimatter because my entry did very well against them in testing :P.

Viper: dont have to worry Viper we were not having a go at you, just issuing our opinions of Kheper


Avalanche: your robot is pretty big im sure it will have no issues


Sage/ Naryar: there is a lot of VS robots in this heat which seem to end out of the arena the most... you can expect more KO's later in this tournament though  ;)


but really its just because your all used to the same old thing, its something new and different... think of it like the Robotica 1 on 1 battles.

@Somebody: FBS_1_Central.py is essentially done, Madiaba has your robot and is working on getting it to run nicely on your robot (much appreciated)

LDL used FBSPlus (as Naryar said) which is what he opted to use for this heat.. I actually blame his success on the FBS/ FBSPlus strategy. I personally think its wouldn't be very good as a normal SNS strategy since saws lack concussion like hammers

right now its basically a gut ripper/ saw robot that circles around opponents grinding away at them.. something that FBS_1 wont do

since I took a break off this tournament thread was a litle dead even when I started posting matches again so I just added the line ups for heat 2 on the brackets page to bring some interest to the other 20 entrants

The Format (easy to understand version)

Heat 2 - remaining 20 people
Heat 3 - randomized list of 20 entrants (from heat 1 and 2)
Heat 4 - remaining 20 people who weren't in heat 3

people in contention for the CC3 title is cut to only the top robots on the points ladder (aiming for the top 8 if there is no ties)

Heat 5 - randomized list of 20 entrants (from any heats)
Heat 6 - remaining 20 people who weren't in heat 5

people in contention for the CC3 title is cut to only the top robots on the points ladder (aiming for the top 4 if there is no ties)

Heat 7 - only the top 8 are in this event and there is a grand final (you may move up the points ranks to get into this event even if your not in contention) the winner of the grand final may NOT be the overall winner as that will be the highest placed title contender.

-------------------------------

points, global ranks and brackets all updated also

So do I!  I was expecting Kheper to get knocked around and not be able to do any damage, but I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!


(Spanish Inquisition = getting my back armor which I thought wouldn't get hit ripped off and my chassis destroyed.)


If Face Gasher just sit and spun like a normal SnS, Kheper could have survived its attacks and maybe gotten another TKO.


I hope I don't get more SnS's in my next heat.  Of course, then I'll probably get VS's... we need more popups and HS's!

I prefer arenas like Combat Arena, Were you cant be OOTAed & without hazards... Its total bot vs bot thing.
:P
 
About the Arena Vid... I should pay more attention >_<

its ok I am just messing with you :P

I wanted something different, SnS robots were becoming greater in numbers and dominating too, so Mad and I basically brainstormed ideas to level out a match to make basically any-bot type could win an basically any point. the result was shifting walls

it doesnt disadvantage them though... just evens out all the odds


look at the finals of heat 1.. 2x VS, 1x Rammer/ Gut Ripper, 1x Pop Up, 1x SnS, 1x Flipper


a pretty nice even mix there

But If they had an advantage for being a better design,
And then you take away the advantage cuz your haterz,
Then that is putting the SnSs at a disadvantage from what they were at.
Thus, I demand immediate disqualification of 99% of the bots, the 1 left being SnSnS 3, and that it is crowned immediate champion.

Sns have bigger hits than FBS. FBS are slower because they need to move forwards too.

Anyways, I dont understand why an AI would disadvantage a bot, Why are those Super AIs not allowed & Stuff like taht :S
If the AI goes for the weakest point of a bot its better, SInce IRL people would do that too, WIch would make all matches more realistic...
I dont think a dude would smash into a wall of Razor tips straight forward if you only have 5 razors
 
In real life, SnSes would have the disadvantage of just having to stand there.
While the attacking  bot can wait outside waiting for a chance to hit at its best instead of the dumb stuff some AIs do, Crashing into a 70KG at full speed

There are real melty brain bots.
Team Velocity Robotics (Google it) has a bot called Death by Translation with 1 wheel and 1 big spike, and it uses the melty brain to move.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos

lol this is going off topic for no reason :P

also Y-pout and Why-Not are both examples made by Team Whyachi of Melty Brain SnS robots....

they have a small computer system that constantly changes the wheels angle while it spins to it can move

Predos for this next load:

TG over Thy: More solid bot. I love Atilla, but I can't see it winning.
Scrap over Reier: I think Scrap's armour will be enough to let to get to Reier's wheels and chassis.
LiNcK over Nary: More weapons.
Pwn vs R1885, unsure, if I have to say one, Pwn
Ounce over Badnik: Wedge looks more solid, then Badnik is toast.
123 over LRA2: It will tear the unprotected top to pieces.
Joe over H@z: Looks like it could easliy tim H@z over.
R0B0 over Sys: Looks consistent and powerful

Post by: 123savethewhales on March 01, 2010, 04:58:50 PM
My prediction to my match and LRA2

LRA2 will charge at my bot, it will flip my bot out of the arena.  However, since the wall opens up, it will also drive out of the arena.  Because of my elevated chassis, LAR2 will get the "eliminated" tag before I do.

Result:  I get the cheap win that I wanted.

not very :P its not designed to throw very far, only turn over and then (with a bit of luck) set of the smart-zone in another location that I set so that it will quickly fire as soon as it retracts making it act like a vertical clamp.. then burn away like there is no tomorrow  :mrgreen:

Well, the admins said when he was re-allowed he had to change his behavior or he'll be perma-banned.

Visibly he didn't really improved (doubt he is able to genuinely do it before a few years though) so i call either he will start to behave better right now or he'll be banned.

I am willing to give him another chance but the point is that he hasn't brought much to the community apart from failure and conflict

Joe, I didn't see it.  Did you delete it Joe?
I understand the context of you having to 'redo' some bouts due to your own error, NP.  But what was his response? 
 
 
Avalanche, for objectivity,.... if the roles were reversed (your bot had the error), would you respond the same way?

it was a claim that the smart zone was not high enough to reach 123's chassis

I really don't mean to unload like that  :embarr I should have just left the result as I knew it was coming.. but that wasn't fair on 123 since it was his robot I messed up  :embarr

You really shouldent allow bots that just look worthlees Joe, Instead of a moving box we could have something else fight 123STW's bot :\
It doesnt even look like a MW D:

can anyone explain that ?

I mean when he first joined.. virtually everyone told him to leave and I was asking people to give him a chance ? I wrote tutorials, offered help and guidance though pm's too

yet im now his main target ? because his 360kg robot with Aluminum 3 Armour lost ?

Obvious Nary is Nary.
 
Joe: I doubt he'll hold a grudge. His bot has proven itself to be able to fight well and may do good.
 
Somebody (Read: SOMEBODY HIMSELF) thinks that his attempt at an egowank is his tantrums.
 
I suggest that he takes a sociology class ASAP or reads what he used to be like for a nice comparison. (AKA lurk moar.)

Post by: Somebody on March 13, 2010, 09:08:20 PM
SHUT UP YOU LOST.

The SZs were fine because it was still flipping FG, especially in the first match. You cant just accept that...
A. FG Preys on open tops
B. DD has an open top
C. You gave it effing DSA! DSLs Weakest armor!

And for the record, that underweightness couldve added a convenient titanium sheet on the top of that piece of sheet and still be the correct weight. Stop whining.

the flails virtually touch the ground so they were inside the smart-zone anyway...

it was finding it hard to get a good flip in since FG constantly moves backwards and forwards but its not like it didn't flip it as I believe if overturned it in at least 1 match 

the smart-zone placement I gave it was to perform well against most other robots (and it did well in testing)

And he can reverse your changes as well. This can go on and on and on and on until one of you gets tired of it. If you gave it titanium, you probably didn't export that version and you probably sent JB the previous version (which I'm assuming has DSA).

It's just one match, dude. Your bot isn't even entirely a bad build. Click didn't complain when he lost to LDL, so it's best if you don't complain as well. :D

Joe, remember this: Everybody not BAWWWWing right now really, really appreciates the immense amount of work that you've done for the community, myself included. CC is one of my favourite tourneys, so keep up the beyond-excellent work that you're doing.
 
Also, you are not obliged to even reply to any of Avalanche's posts. If HE did not put in the effort to AI his own bot, and had you do it for him, only creating more effort for yourself, he has no right to complain. Beggars can't be choosers. We had this argument before way back when on the old forums during ianh05's Tag Team Challenge Tourney, and we came to the same conclusion then: If you do not AI your own bot and trust the host to do it for you, you have no right to complain.

they had there own section

Quote from: The Mighty Forgotten Rules
Multibot/Clusterbot:


Multibots or Clusterbots are allowed if you wish to make one, the rules are

limited to only 2 "parts"

both parts must be in the same weight class (including AW and BW)

both parts combined must not exceed 398kg

the whole robot will be eliminated if 50% of the weight is knocked out

Watching the video: TDV is spinning wierd the spin up time is way faster than that. JB can you please use the original.py file(I think it was FBS PLUS or 2 not sure?) for the rest of the tourney thx. @PWN good win, I honestly really had no chance with how low the walls were and that they moved :smile: . Entering this bot was just a experiment To see how this bot type will do in Tourney's. I a have a better version of this I've been working on for The MW Tag Team Tourney with Somebody and the spin up speed is scary :evilsmile: .

Watching the video: TDV is spinning wierd the spin up time is way faster than that. JB can you please use the original.py file(I think it was FBS PLUS or 2 not sure?) for the rest of the tourney thx. @PWN good win, I honestly really had no chance with how low the walls were and that they moved :smile: . Entering this bot was just a experiment To see how this bot type will do in Tourney's. I a have a better version of this I've been working on for The MW Tag Team Tourney with Somebody and the spin up speed is scary :evilsmile: .

the python used is FBS_1 which is the same as FBS_2 only it wont stop spining... FBS_2 will stop part way through a match and follow an opponant rather then spin.. I figured that FBS_1 works best for what you described to me the effect you were after.

FBS.py / FBSPlus.py wont work on your robot for the same reasons Madiaba told you about FBS_Central.py

the python used will spin the robot from the start of the match, the spin up time would be no different from human controlled... I could make a custom python to increase the speed but that would be borderline cheating...

FBS_central is a double edged sword... I can see some bot coming up and mauling SnS 3 while it's trying to get to the center of the arena.  It's all but unstoppable when it's spinning, but it looks vulnerable in that stage.


On the other hand, it should be difficult to push OOTA.  It's an interesting tradeoff.

Ya I noticed that to :smile: . Your bot is perfect for when it's in sns3 vulnerable stage cause you can hold him and saw him to pieces but how durable is your bot against those hammers :evilsmile: .

Well, I can't say that this was a suprising result for me at all. Schzoid is decidedly vulnerable to any horizontal long-weaponed robot.

If I'm not mistaken, there's still about 12 000 000 more rounds though, so I should be in decent shape :P

If I remember correctly Naryar you used the prestacked blacks on PiTA 8. Not only were they also technically cheat, but you stacked them, equaling 4 stacked blacks. I do not think that you ever would have managed that on your own.

They might be cheating but are balanced, what your hammers are not.

the hammers are the same as the rebalanced stock hammers (30kg) just have the handle and are a bit lighter, alsio you cant say the hammers "make the design" as in the last 2 CC tournaments you all no full well only one robot has ever beaten that design

I don't really blame you, to be honest. You've run three in around a year and tourneys are a huge task, so it's understandable that you'd get tired. I mean, you're only human (unlike Clickbeetle. I have no idea what he is, but he's not a mere mortal like the rest of us...).

Who cares about the hammers, their not even cheap if you win a CC tournament you can pick and use prizes in previous tournaments to come and their the same as the stock hammer with some modifications done  :ermm: . @JB I think you should do a LW CC before you stop doing them :evilsmile: .

I have no idea why everybody is getting mad after my first match I asked you to use the original FBS_1 I sent I didn't ask for any modification I only asked for future reference about the speed increase  for the Tag Team MW DSl tourney??????

becasue you never had anything but FBS_1

you complained about the slow spin up time

I made you a version of FBS_1 that increased the spin up speed

your still complaining

--------

I get annoyed at people complaining before even thinking about the amount of time I spend putting into this making sure its correct, I went really over the top this time attempting to bring this to a BBEANS level of AI including (now 4) New AI python files for robots.

and still all tournament I get an ear full of complaining

if the case you were not complaining then I suggest you place better care when you are choosing your words rather them seemingly pointing the blame towards others.

in testing FBS_Crawler halved spin up time from standing still to full speed, this is not my fault if another robot reaches yours before this time

I will follow your wishes once again and use FBS_1 in the next round

Or here is another simple solution that you and I both win, you can remove my bot from the tourney or if you can't do that, forfeit all my matches. I entered the wrong bot type for this tourney and have no interest in following any of my matches anymore because it's pretty clear and obvious I'm not going to win a single dam match unless it's a bye. I just can't see my bot winning any matches in this arena, any bot that can push which is like 95% of the entries will automatically win and the rest which are SNS'S will just make  boring matches. With that said I'm sorry for wasting your time and tourney space. Cya :smile: .

Whoa Whoa! O.K.  Time out for a sec everyone.  Take a deep breath.  Just take a look at page 42 and re-read it in case there was any confusion.  We established that FBS_1 was indeed used for the first match.  And it did not perform as expected.  Joe had the .py adjusted to make it more effective to give the bot a better chance because he was under the impression that the original .py was not going to suffice.

But, essentially, Viper's bot really is not cut out for this type of arena.  And it resulted in its demise.  In an enclosed arena that bot would have done a ton of damage.  Altogether, it does not have much to do with the AI, just in the design itself.  Which, I must say, I would not want to face that bot in an enclosed arena... it would make me rageface.

Joe, you are putting on a great tourney as usual.  I get the sense you are getting a bit burnt out, maybe just take a break for a bit and come back to this in a week or something?  You take on sooo many projects, I would hate to see you wig out and lose it.  The tourney is only fun for us if it is fun for you.

That is the issue.  Viper's bot is truly nasty in an enclosed arena, but in an effective 'tabletop' arena it doesn't have the traction to not be pushed around by anything else with wheels...
I tried to mod an AI.py for it too, but no matter what I had it do it was like driving a car on ice. Nice bot, but wrong kind of bot for this arena.

this has already had enough lack of activity imo, I was probably more on edge last night at I was up at 2:30am trying to give you all more videos...  :frown:

if I make AI mistakes I will admit them, I did for 123 but I dislike the fact someone is telling me i am wrong when I have done everything but bend over backwards for them.... (its usually the "LRA2 Effect")

it seems Viper rather then wanting to understand the situation, feel the need to pull his robot out of the tournament, I will respect his wishes like I do everyone's if he so chooses.

I will press on but whatt I still find rather unbelievable is how this forum has progressed over a year, 1 year ago I made CC1, I was a n00b screwed up 50% of the robots AI's yet everyone still stayed happy and enjoyed.. not a single complaint from such (now it seems) obvious mistakes.... nowadays I feel I am at the highest peak of AIing ability and I get myself into more conflicts then ever.

some people are well lets say a little burned out, there's bin a couple tournaments and some have not gone well and when that happens, people get a bit more picky something like that.


Considering all the projects you are working on maybe its time to give your self a break, relax and when and only when you feel ready to continue start off slow.


Your (to me) sounding a bit burned out your self.


Just trying to help out thats all. As already said you are doing grate.

No hard feelings than, it just seemed like I was being singled out because their was only 2 other people that fit your guys description and my AI discussion was 1-2 pages back so I just assumed. Back on topic: I think one of the well built flippers are gonna win this whole thing :evilsmile: . Also what other effect does  flames have on bots besides frying the control board? And what happens if the control board does get fried how drastically does it effect the bot? Would like to know these questions for future references :smile: .

I just dropped 1 tire off the edge giving the other all the grip driving itself off.. R0B0's robot was pushing it towards that direction so I dont know if you could call that an AI hiccup that warranted a restart.

I did however test the problem in another match which was a win via Control Board Destroyed by R0B0.... so yeah... if it was restarted anyway im not sure of your chances.

@Red: still one more heat for you :P the highest position you can fight for is 9th overall though and if you get into the top 16 you get into the final heat which has a grand final match (so you can win the grand final even if your not in contention for the CC3 championship)

O how did I miss that in heat 2,I'm going to have to re watch that match :smile: .Edit: Watching that match, that match was super close and that last otta in match 3 was alittle skeptical IMO, are you surprised that your doing so well in your tourney?

Man, I really thought I could win after my first fight against Condor33 (Epic surgical chassis removal FTW.)  But then the arena happened...


Let's see, if I did win then I would have fought JoeBlo.  Don't think I could have won that; Whiplash Effect has too much top armor, and more importantly a flipper.  Kheper would have been OOTA'd before it could do enough damage.

so your going to take it out on the large amount of work madiaba and I put in ?

The arena was designed over multiple discussions... we decided to have one that would allow any robot to win at anytime

the walls don't just open for your robot.. they open at set times so it is completely fair, I gave you all fair warning of what it did so if your robot isn't subtitle it rests of your actions alone.

I am aware of this, but it's not like the robots will know when the walls open... ah heck, i even remember putting a higher radius on FH but obviously it didn't worked...

...

...Oh wait, why is a Chaotic complaining of un-fairness anyways ?

Nevermind, i'm off and called my loss by OOTA anyways.

I'll just try to be more picky about arena choice in future tournaments.

I agree with Nary in the sense that its unfair to SnSs. I remember when Joe said that Afterburner took two out of 3 from SnSnSnSnS in that arena. Afterburner is crap, but it shows the anti-SnS qualities that may not have originally been intended but have sprouted from this arena, which I must agree is awesomely awesome.

coming from the builder who currently has not lost a round ? Afterburner won 2/3 against SnSnSnS  as it used FBS_1 which is why you jumped up and down for Madiaba to make you a new python.

the wedges of afterburner arnt that good anymore but the robot is still good

why is it if something isnt praising SnS robots you hate it ? same as your complaining over backlash.

If you all hate everything I do so much why do you bother being involved ?

Clash Cubes 1 was originally a 1 off tournament as learning curve for me

due to the support it got I decided to make a trilogy with another soon after and the 3rd half a year after the seconds completion

beyond 3 its fate would sit with how well they went.. so much controvercy, complaining, etc in this one which has been so tiring (not forgetting to mention annoying) so basically this is it.... no more after this....

Well I think that Clash Cubes will go down as the most popular non-BBEANS tourney to date. And always remember that it was very appreciated. Even BBEANS will probably end someday, so its kind of inevitable that this would happen.

However, I would suggest for Joe that instead of leaving all together (and making everyone sad  :( ), he stays ( :gawe: ) but stops modding and all of those other things that make people bitch at him all the time for a while.

it was always my goal.. I went over the top for this tournament trying to crack the 32 mark.

2-3 months in pre planning, 2 new arenas, new prize components GMF's (not just re-skinned stuff this time), format to allow everyone to see there robot at minimum 3 times, 4 new AI.py files for robots in an attempt to get them right for users,

and its ended up with half the people complaining to me over there losses :/ not exactly the trade off I was looking for when trying to make an awesome tournament for you all.

This isnt directed at anyone in-particular so you dont have to go defending yourselves.. I just merely want you to realize how much goes into tournaments (in general) to try and bring you some fun and excitement.

go ahead an bash luck like crazy, post ragetoons, say aww that sucks, etc.. I wont stop you but be wary about what your really bashing when you think about things like the arena or AI.

The people who entered SnS knew what the arena was going to be, so they can't blame the arena, they can blame themselves for taking the risk of entering a SnS.
And to the ones who are complaining about the AI of your bots, AI it yourself so you don't have to blame Joe.

@Joe: I think that when people are doing something or recently have done something big, all they focus on is the bad stuff, but then the good things become more prevalent in there mind as time goes on. I went to a Red Sox game in 2005, and the seats were horrendous. That was all I focused on for about 6 months, but then I realized that I was lucky to just go to it, and in retrospect it was great.

The effectiveness of Tritons robot from that match actually comes from its ability to drive up walls (small chassis, uber fast drive, really grippy wheels) 

made it easier to throw 123 oota (since it was under it a lot)

Well, you better change it to a button then.

I remember that Destroyer VS Mako 4 in RAW 1 caused BAWWWing because Destroyer's 2Perm did not spun fast enough because it was wired to a switch.

And Click said the AI kept switching the switch on and off, hence failing to attain maxspeed.

is was hard to pick up as it was an SnS + they normally have that illusion of not spinning when they actually are

of battle 8 and 9 are up

half of the round was meant to be up (3 vids) tonight but the uploader has failed on me and is now going uber slow (rest of my internet is still fast ?)

so another 20 min wait for battle 10 I think ?

Edit: ah Youtube's failing to much tonight, I will just upload you guys 4 tomorrow, then the finals on friday  ;)

Its not fail, it was desinged to give additional protection to the motors and wheels and I traded weapon weight and durability for higher DP, trading weight also enabled it to stay stable even when it lost weapons.

if you asked me to AI with FBS.py then it would have had that  ;) you either asked nothing (in that case I just choose FBS_1) or for FBS_1... it was said in the sign ups that you explain how you want your robot to act so I could AI it correctly

SnSnS 3 was AI'd with Mads new Central python.. so the only thing that robot cares about if hugging the center of the arena

I cant do the global ranks for the finals right now as the website is being screwy

but the brackets are updated and you may notice 7 people on a tie for the last place in the cut off ?

they have been randomized into a play off bracket for the last place before the semi final heats

Post by: Clickbeetle on May 29, 2010, 10:59:44 PM
SnSnS 3 vs. Crazed Fireman - that's why I use FBS_2.py... it has the 'chase_time' parameter that makes the bot stop snsing and chase the opponent after a certain time with no hits.  I think the result would be the same (SnSnS 3 outweapons CF) but it would make for a more interesting fight.


And where was R1885 this whole time?  His bot looks really good now.  Wouldn't be surprised if he wins the playoff for the #10 spot.

Post by: JoeBlo on June 02, 2010, 10:24:47 AM
for anyone who actually still cares about this tournament...

final of the play off is up



as a result is awarded 10 points to break the tie, so we now have the final 8 contenders (this is when its meant to get exciting)

this if how it works encase those dont know... 2 more heats just like before those not in the top 8 cannot move up any higher then 9th on the ladder but the fun part is can ruin those in the op 8's chances of winning the CC3 title.

after those 2 heats we cut again to 4 and have the final heat of the top 16

then we crown.. pretty much the ultimate robot survivor since this is the largest DSL tournament (in match amount size... basically 6x 24 bot tourneys and 1x 16 bot tourney make this up) ever been made.

Doom > R0B0 - simply based on the fact doom won previously
JD > Red - I think JD has the better wedge here.. but could be close in this arena
Urjak > STC - same deal as Doom's match
JoeBlo > Nary - umm yeah.. normally I would say Nary but this arena plays more in my favour then Nary (famous last words)
Craaig > Click - if it can fend off Kheper without loosing that Perm it will win
Jonzu > Stag - Jonzu is doing pretty well in this tournament so far
Ounce > Badnik - another rematch so I predict same results

How does Stag have 20 points when he only had one bye and won no matches?
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Somebody on June 11, 2010, 07:11:15 PM
10 auto points for being in the bracket and 10 for a bye... so he should have 30 shouldnt he?
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Reier on June 11, 2010, 07:15:07 PM
10 + 10 = 30...?
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Somebody on June 11, 2010, 07:23:52 PM
But he was in two brackets for the qualifying part (first four brackets), and another 10 for this last bracket he is in, so technically 40 points for Stag.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos

sorry it seem you have lost the plot :P

10 points at the start of the tournament (your first bracket) just so nobody is left on 0 for the tournament.

10 points for every round you advance including byes

in the first 4 heats the max points was 70

30 (3 rounds) + 30 (3 rounds) + 10 (starter points)

oops I forgot the bye points for that bracket... I will double check but I think everyone except RR missed them (with 40 being the play off amount all 30 point people were double checked at the time to make sure)

So, if my understanding of the format is correct, I could theoreticly win all of my remaining matches, get into the grand final, win the grand final and still not finish first? If that's the case, then the grand final champ > the overall champ.

Wow, Kheper beat B... uh, Craaig's bot?  Wasn't expecting that.  I suppose beating 2 VS's in a row is too much to ask for though.


If only Revenge of Dawn could have driven off the arena one more time in its last match... then I would have gotten the Kamikaze Cubes instead  :mrgreen:


I think Urjak has the best chance of winning this.  Seems like his bot is effective against pretty much every type of design.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on June 14, 2010, 06:35:47 AM
its hard to pick Urjak, Ounce and Somebody have all been good

but the fact Urjak has never had a match over 40 seconds 0_0 my money would be on him

if ounce and urjak keep on with this undefeated streak they will meet in the grand final of the grand final heat (what and epic match it will be)

Because the top eight performers are now locked. They are fighting for positions 1 through 8. But, they are not fighting each other, they still fight the likes of you or I.  The rest of us are fighting for the remaining positions.  So, technically, you are king loser at the moment.  But you might become de-throned.

The cool part about how Joe set this up is that right now anyone can be a spoiler to the chances of a top 8 bot.   But, you my friend, will not finish higher than 9th no matter how many points you get.

Beating me comes down to beating my wedge. If I get under you, you are toast, if you get under me I am toast. My wedge is not great, so you could beat me.

I also think both Ounce and me have a shot at beating somebody, especially if we rush him at the beginning of the match.

My bot is capable of beating Fallen Hero so I think I have a shot at Somebody.  What I don't trust is that my wedge can get under Schizoid's or Terminal Force's.

Well it all depends if SnSnS 3 can knock you two away or not.
@Ounce: I need to beat you again anyways. We are tied 2-2 and I need the equalizer match. >:)
@Urjak: I'm more afraid of your flipper because all it takes is just one flip and I'm gone, instead of Tunneler which SnSnS 3 might be able to escape from.

And I will miss the days of going to youtube and seeing a new match that I can watch in 45 seconds its like an instant gratification type thing. Even though the arena was originally thought of as bad, I think its good because it sped up matches (killed the WBP almost completely, thank god), and overall the best robot has come out on top in almost all of the matches.

Pwnator

my Predictions

R1885 > LDL - Fast VS's have beaten it before

Pwnator > Jonzu - more stable build and better wedge

Doom > R0B0 - they had a match before and it went Dooms way

Ounce > Sage - Sage has fallen victim to fast robots before

Me > Haz - I wouldn't think so normally but I beat Haz last time

Scrap > Condor - last match for the champ, :O better weapons

Urjak > Somebody - heck of a match for Urjak I dont expect a clean up like previous matches but I think it can pull a win. either winner will have one hand on the trophy afterwards with only 2 contenders left.

Mike > Russian - Mike has this with wedge's.. this makes for another epic contender match up next round too

You're still in the grand final, but apparently the winner of the grand final isn't the real winner, if I'm reading the format right.  The real winner is whoever has the most points at the end out of the top 4 bots right now.


My prediction for grand final winner = Urjak.  MikeNCR or Ounce could conceivably beat him, but I think Urjak has the edge.


Would that be the first time in tournament history that a flipper is the champion?  I think it would be... cool.

First time a pure flipper would win a tournament as well; if I recall Smashbox 2 had weapons.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes 3 - Brackets & Videos
Post by: Clickbeetle on July 10, 2010, 09:08:56 PM
Ah right how could I forget about Smashbox 2?


It did have a couple of spike strips for stability/armor, but for all intents and purposes it's a pure flipper.


Well if Urjak wins this, we'll say it's the first time a pure flipper has won in recent history.  BBEANS2 happened in 2007.

yeah, its based off the NHRA drag racing series

the original format was just to be a regular series of tournaments with points but I decided to add the contenders situation to make it more dramatic (look at the bracket, 3 contenders will meet early on)

I liked it as it gave everyone a chance to prove themselves against different opponents (Look at Hazm47, last in the points until the Semi Final 2 and is now in the Grand Final heat)

In retrospect... a giant pyramid filled with ballasts would have won this tournament.  :P

Hey Joeblo, I have a question about your Global Ranking system. Do you count playoffs/tie-breakers as match wins? If so then the global ranking system doesn't really give  good representation of who has done best.

Just something that occurred to me after watching the playoff videos.

global ranks are not up to date right now :P they are way behind.

I did add playoff 1 and heat 4 last night but I noticed the inconsistency caused with the playoff results so those will be removed, just testing as I said before just ignore them right now, they need the 2 semi's before they are balanced  ;)

the rest of the Grand Final will be played out and the winner gets some prizes also, so still some stuff up for grabs.

I was expecting an Ounce / Urjak encounter but it goes to show that if a robot wins a tournament it may not be better then everything else.. thats why I devised this formant so the winner would essentially do well in 3 smaller tournaments.

I'll give CC3 a solid B.

A+ for asthetic quality.
A for AI'ing.
A for arena.
A- for fairness.
C+ for format.
C+ for match entertainment (to be fair, there wasn't much that could be done about this).
D for completion time.

I'll give Joe beyond 100% in the commitment and effort departments though, as CC3 was probably one of the most ambitious tourneys of all time. The huge amount of matches he had to film, edit, wrap into video form, and upload, not to mention the AI'ing, the website and the arena must have been a massive amount of work. Huge props to you. Joe :D

And a big congrats to Urjak. TF was clearly the best bot for this tourney and fully deserved the win. Entering a flipper takes lots of guts too. +1 rep, courtesy of me :D

heyy it seemed slow at some points but that was 7 tournaments (6 24 bracket and 1 16 bracket) in 6 months ? I see that as a great achievement around my busy life  :gawe:

I dont know if I will tackle this again though... I just always wanted to run a league and what a better way to finish the Clash Cubes trilogy then with an epically long tournament.

thanks for everyones support, the keen and main followers though this whole tournament.

and a huge thanks to Madiaba for endless efforts behind the scenes through this whole tournament, been there every step of the way on this one  ;)
