WBWAPS wins - better weapon setup, plus Craaig's chassis is more exposed.
...
Placebo wins - And another one that has a ridiculously easy opponent...

Placebo is my robot? XD

Placebo wins - Clearly superior weapon. For once Craaig is going to win something (Replica Wars doesn't counts :P)

WOOO I MIGHT WIN AN ACTUAL MATCH?

Against a robot like Hammerhead it's not much of a feat though...

RedSawn · « **Reply #24 on:** November 07, 2009, 02:46:57 PM »

Hm.. more spinners then rammers? That was unexpected. Thought it'd be mostly rammers.

Oh well. The first match should be alright.. worried about spinners though. Well, ofcourse not ChewCube.

The Last And Dead Unicorn - One iron isn't enough...
ChewCube - I don't know how well saws work on AWs, might fail
Mercury Drone - Should do well, reminds me of one of Click's AWs
Degausser - Bursted AW HS that should do good
Triceratops - I think it could do well, not sure though
Wedgy Bot with a Pointy Stick - Looks dangerous
Murderous Hummingbird - I believe it has DSA? If so, should go far but exposed drive is a problem
HammerHead - Should had went with Irons or razors
Placebo - Not too sure about this one
Sheer Death - Looks dangerous, should go far
The Five year old Arsonist - Reminds me of one of Click's AWs, should do well
Centrifugal Force - Does it have controlled movement?
One Spike Wonder - One iron isn't enough, better than TLADU though
Black Hole's Revenge - I'm guessing the maces will work as weapon breakers, probably might give the HSes trouble
Hypno-Ant - Looks like most bots will bypass its weapons and hit the chassis

Ah dammit. I must have thought it was 125 when i built it and not 225. I feel dumb. Can I send a smaller version in a second?

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #27 on:** November 07, 2009, 07:57:36 PM »

Uhh hehe. Ill just say i wasnt in the greatest state of mind when I built that(cough) and must have thought the 221 was 121.

The originaal had a lot more thought into it. Castors and a big chassis=big chassis hp. Smaller one probably isnt as good.

Accept it, don't accept it, I dont care. I just wish you would have told me this not on the day you post everything... I mean I sent you this bot over two weeks ago and your telling me now? Im not bitching do what you want.

Ehehe now that I dont have my weight that I thought I had it looks like a joke. :P

Centrifugal Force: It's a bumble ball = ghey

how did I know you were going to call that ghey.. o wait everything is ghey to you :P

it isnt a bumble ball it doesn't fly around it is AI'd for the Z-Tek to accelerate fast then slow which shuffles the robot across the ground, it does not like other robots of the same gender :P, it is a shuffle bot

its doesn't have really great controlled movement but when AI testing I put two of them in the combat zone and they eventually found each other within a 3 min match

Naryar · « **Reply #30 on:** November 07, 2009, 08:46:31 PM »

It might be original, but as far as i can guess it shows no real controlled movement, and as such should not be a valuable tournament entry by BBEANS rules, and these pretty much have become the standard value for all stock tournaments.

that was within a 3 min match ? its hard to AI original things sometimes but I gave it my best shot :-D dont turn into one of those people who hates originally Naryar D:

Naryar · « **Reply #32 on:** November 07, 2009, 08:58:54 PM »

I love originality, i just consider that all tournament entries should have real controlled movement, like a real life bot (at least all serious ones)

The 1WD HS are already borderline but i think they could be AI-ed easily.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #33 on:** November 07, 2009, 09:02:55 PM »

well I did the best I could within the weight limit while still entering something original :-D

Starcore · « **Reply #34 on:** November 08, 2009, 01:53:37 AM »

I too admit I am a fan of showing controlled movement.

I like the test of put bot in question in tournament area being used with an immobile opponent and the bot that is being tested has to find the other before they get counted out. I understand there are variations of this theme like Sit and Spins that approach to a given radius and start spinning but at least with them you can see they can approach and just switch to spin tactics when they get relatively close.

As needed, I am fine with one wheel bots that are actually AIed to handle being one wheeled. But claiming it could be AIed to have controlled movement and actually doing so is two different things.

And yes I will complain when I see bots that don't have controlled movement (I have tried to teach better then that). We all know that fudging that limit is just to get a damage advantage and planning on the other bot to come to you. A rather lame decision.

Predictions:

figth 1: The spinners gonna take it. WBWAPS will go out i think,so - Black Hole`s Revenge, Degausser, Chewcube.

fight 2: Bye Bot is in trouble. - Centrifugal Force, Triceratops, T5-JOA

fight 3: Sheer Death won`t have any problems to kick out one of us pushers. I just hope I`m not a first round victim again and say that Hammerhead will be bashed. -TLADU, Sheer Death, Placebo.

fight 4: Another fight which goes to the spinners. The one Spike Wonder might fly to win this.But it could be Hypno Ant as well. - Mercury Drone, Hypno Ant, MH.

its a game why does every act so serious about this ? its like nobody wants to even have fun with this anymore, that everyone just wants to treat this seriously D:

I enter these tournaments for fun, Im not trying to shave rules to win

Thyrus · « **Reply #37 on:** November 08, 2009, 03:12:01 AM »

I agree with Joe. we`re here to have fun. That`s the reason why we joint the gtm don`t we? and btw: I don`t think joe`s is the only bot like this in this tourney.

Pwnator · « **Reply #38 on:** November 08, 2009, 03:17:10 AM »

Don't judge a book by its cover. :D

To those who are complaining about CF's movement: I think it would be better for you and for JB to see the bot in action first before saying another word. Okay? :)

It is a game, and as all games it has rules. We are discussing over the rules.

Now i am not very aggressive against this bot because that's just for the sake of entering something original, not for the sake of winning (Yes Sage i am looking at you). If it enters, fine (doubt we'll see a lot of action though), but if it wins however...
