It does not seem too laggy on its own, but it must be a "straw that broke the camels back" situation along with the hundreds of beater bars on Runtime Error.

Well done

not sure what to say about the outcome of the first fight. that havok influenced the outcome of that one in my eyes. but SB`s the host so he decides what wrong and right. Good luck SKBT (hope you kick narys ass :D) and good luck NFX in the loosersbracket.

Lag amplifies Havok, and there's never any shortage of lag in UHW fights. The sheer number of beater bars almost certainly has something to do with it as well, though. It seems that certain rammers tend to Havok against certain opponents--see Vetearn Destroyer vs. Anti-Christ V.Pincer in BBEANS5. VD Havoked every single match against Anti-Christ, but never against any other opponent. If that's the case, Runtime Error should be less Havoky in its next fight.

That said, I think the "mystery disappearance" of Runtime Error at the end of the last fight was caused by a Havok explosion from Squish. There wasn't enough time for Runtime Error to accidentally drive OOTA, it wasn't anywhere near the blade, and there wasn't any contact between the bots, so it couldn't be the beater bar spam thing. Squish was the only bot to lose motors and you can see an obvious Havok explosion that happens when Runtime Error breaks the BSG holding on Squish's side plow earlier in the match.

However, even if Squish did deserve a Havok penalty it would still win so it's not that big of a deal.

OK guys I was filming Revolution/ROFL Flying Kamikaze Cube vs. Perfect cherry blossom when the match ended with 30 seconds left when Revolution was up on its wheels (discs?) but was unable to escape immobility. It isn't able to easily escape it anyways, and it did not have less than half battery life? What do you guys think I should call it as because I really cannot decide? Free restart or loss for Stagfish?

Isnt there an AI for slow bots so they dont get stuck when being counted out?

Somebody · « **Reply #266 on:** January 16, 2011, 10:19:04 AM »

I can't recall one but if you can find me one I can AI Revolution with it for the upcoming rounds.

NFX · « **Reply #267 on:** January 16, 2011, 10:21:09 AM »

I think AI tries to move forwards to escape immobility, and then if that deosn't work (it's facing a wall, for instance), then reverse will work by default. Unless, as you said, it's low on battery power, or it's slow as

anyway.

Now who's spamming? =P

In my view, I'd probably say a loss for Stagfish. It doesn't mention anything about immobilisation and battery life in the rules, so if it was Immobilised, then it was Immobilised.

Somebody · « **Reply #270 on:** January 16, 2011, 10:26:31 AM »

I was thinking loss for Stagfish, but then I watched the videos and realized that I had messed up on the sound real bad. I forgot to set it to the right level so it just sounds like a giant earthquake

Off to re-film...

MassimoV · « **Reply #271 on:** January 16, 2011, 10:30:03 AM »

Sooo... redo?

Somebody · « **Reply #272 on:** January 16, 2011, 11:05:26 AM »

Pretty Much. Editing now...

EcoOmni.py. It doesn't guarantee that bots won't be counted out, it only makes them turn off all weapons, put all power into driving, and then drive in one direction as long as possible (instead of driving forward and backward according to a timer).

Somebody · « **Reply #274 on:** January 17, 2011, 11:47:20 AM »

And that wouldn't work because Revolution runs no weapons.

Stagfish · « **Reply #275 on:** January 17, 2011, 11:49:16 AM »

Still, it makes them drive in one direction.

Well you AI it and I'll use it.
