-
can i get an award for not using shinys? :P
-
can i get an award for not using shinys? :P
NO!
Edit:I BROKE 500!!! Yeah!
-
nice turnout overall
for those wondering about mine, its a prototype shuffle-bot, as the name suggests the chassis spins and the centrifugal force shuffles the robot across the ground :-D
not terrible effective but fun... it can self right with the tribar too :P
Edit: Thyrus, mine uses no wheels though :O
-
yeah it looks nice. I think it`s obviously that i`m not building so many AWs.
Do i get it right:
3 bots will go on from every match in the first round?
-
yes...
-
I'm the only one with bursted motors? Kewl. :D
-
PREDICTIONS !
The Last And Dead Unicorn: The only thing approaching a wammer... it might either use it's wedge well or fail.
ChewCube: Sawblades fail in stock.
Mercury Drone: Probably would have been better with just 2 irons.
Degausser: The first 1WD AW spinner here.
Triceratops: It's built by Starcore, but weapon with normals ?
WBWAPS: Most likely the best bot out there.
Stick Murderous Hummingbird: Second one.
Hammerhead: SFTW anyone ?
Placebo: It's not bad. We'll see how it fares.
Sheer Death: Never two without three !
The 5 Year Old Arsonist: Not a bad bot as well...
Centrifugal Force: It's a bumble ball = ghey
One Spike Wonder: Yeah, more like One Spike Failure... Not the worst bot still.
Black Hole's Revenge: Similar to Craaig's but probably better at breaking weapons because of maces.
Hypno Ant: I am guessing it is a SnS... but the extender work fails. Not the worst still.
CombatAnt: Roughly equal to Hammerhead in fighting prowess
-
PREDICTIONS !
The Last And Dead Unicorn: The only thing ... fail.
I corrected it :D
-
Scrap Daddy was Disqualified, It was overweighted so the BYE bot took he's place.
-
What's the weight and what are its specs anyway? Maybe he forgot to use plastic armor or something.
-
It's weight was 221.3! :mad:
-
why don`t you check things like that before you AI the robots?
-
It doesn't matter anymore...
-
Just let him rebuild and send his entry. It's better than a cloned byebot anyways...
-
Just let him rebuild and send his entry. It's better than a cloned byebot anyways...
No I won't! He insulted me.
-
And so did LRA2 when JoeBlo supposed AI'ed his bot incorrectly. :P
[Edit] Also Nary, I actually didn't build the first AW tribar HS. ACAMS did.
(http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/onewayticket.jpg)
Though I might have been the first one to build a bursted AW HS. :D
-
I built my bot 2-3 weeks before this tourment was posted, so I'm wondering how it will do.
-
Analysis:
The Last And Dead Unicorn: Chassis over-exposure... should die pretty quick.
ChewCube: Sawblade wont do much for damage... might offer decent protection though.
Mercury Drone: Factoid: Skin is actually Mercurys Planet surface.
Degausser: If this was a 1v1 tourney, I think it would fare well... but being flanked might tie up that tribar pretty well.
Triceratops: Best of tourney.
WBWAPS: Nice design. I think it will fare well.
Stick Murderous Hummingbird: same as Degauss... but with exposed drive that will take a beating.
Hammerhead: Looks cool. Will not do much damage though.
Placebo: Purple chassis good for snack (nom nom nom)
Sheer Death: At first i thought it was 2wd and I couldn't figure out how. But... another 1wd AW that will probably show no controlled movement due to the placement of the wheel.
The 5 Year Old Arsonist: Astoundingly good for Badnik. I am impressed. Should do well.
Centrifugal Force: If it wins there will be an uproar... but I am curious to how well it shows controlled movement.
One Spike Wonder: One spike to rule them all? Probably not.
Black Hole's Revenge: A+ for being different... B- for overall effectiveness.
Hypno Ant: Cool looking and original design. I hope it fares well!
CombatAnt: no comment
-
@Pwn: I know this, i just implied first AW 1WD HS of the tournament.
EDIT: Predictions first round !
WBWAPS wins - better weapon setup, plus Jonzu's chassis is more exposed.
Degausser wins - The first 1WD HS has an obviously more damaging weapon.
Centrifugal Force wins - Same, if it doesn't gets immobilized...
Triceratops wins - Spinners like this are pretty weak, SC outweapons Badnik, and that's just Starcore...
Sheer Death wins - Again one of these highly original HS takes the win, because Thyrus has a very exposed chassis and hasn't enough weapons to compete with such an opponent.
Placebo wins - Clearly superior weapon. For once Craaig is going to win something (Replica Wars doesn't counts :P)
Murderous Hummingbird wins - DO I REALLY HAVE TO MAKE THE SAME COMMENT 4 TIMES ???
Mercury Drone wins - Better weapon. I might be very wrong however because Hypno could hit MD's chassis first.
-
...
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
-
What ?
*c splash and brackets again*
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Editing right now 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?
*insert R0B0 smiley here*
-
Against a robot like Hammerhead it's not much of a feat though...
-
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?
-
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.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/1272Macho Man Randy Savage.rar
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
-
Ill just say i wasnt in the greatest state of mind when I built that(cough) and must have thought the 221 was 121.
^^ Alcohol much ?
EDIT: eh wait you're not 18 yet...
-
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
-
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.
-
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
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:
-
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.
-
well I did the best I could within the weight limit while still entering something original :-D
-
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.
Starcore
-
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
-
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.
-
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? :)
-
its a game why does every act so serious about this ?
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...
-
I just dont see why people care so about Crawlers, Flails, Controlled Movement, etc
its not anything im taking personally over my entry (if you dont like it just remove it because I dont want to be on the receiving end of abuse if it wins)
I just think its stupid to see like the 5th tournament in a row degrade into another debate about something being cheap or ghey?
-
I'm not taking your bot out of the competition. :)
-
I just dont see why people care so about Crawlers, Flails, Controlled Movement, etc
Now, I'm with you in that you should be able to use that bot (This is a pretty much fun tourney)
But controlled movement is pretty much a foundation of robotic combat, isn't it? We don't see spinners like that on TV or events, because they're impractical and a safety hazard.
-
sorry to anyone and everyone if I came across a little angry, its been a frustrating day IRL :frown: its not normally like me to drag other problems in things (I do think people still need to lighten up a bit of particular things in this game though)
now that I have had a bit more time to relax... here is a (very crude :P) plan of how my robot was AI'd (to the best of my ability lol)
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/AIplan.png)
the robot is trying to track the green box :P
it will spin slower in the first 3 phases but once the chassis is facing the target the robot will accelerate hard shuffling it towards the opponent, it will then continue the same patten from phase 2
-
Did you write a new .py for that, or is it just some creative SZ placement? :D
-
neither are correct :P I did originally write a new .py but the end product was completed with some very cleaver binding work with omni .py :-D
-
Right, right, as this seems to be a product of pure genius, i'll shut up.
-
I understand this robot now JoeBlo actually managed to make an explanation that was understandable
fixed :P
I think lack of a good explanation was the issue here, the controlled movement is still far form perfect, its probably on par with one wheeled spinners though, its only an idea I got while failing at making a one wheeled HS lol
glad we could work out everything and I apologize again, I want to maintain my status of residential nice guy :P
-
Joe you realy deserve the title of a peacekeeper!
-
I have suddenly Technical problems on ZD Soft Gamerecorder, Does anyone know how to remove that stupid number in the screen
-
Cmon, I gotta fight a crawler AND Starcore?????
luckily the Byebot is in my fight as well.
EDIT: my Predictions:
FIGHT 1- either Black Hole's Revenge or Chewcube goes out.
FIGHT 2- CombatAnt.
FIGHT 3- Hammerhead.
FIGHT 4- One Spike Wonder.
-
haha someone doesn't read threads before posting :P
for those wondering about mine, its a prototype shuffle-bot, as the name suggests the chassis spins and the centrifugal force shuffles the robot across the ground :-D
its been the topic of the last 2 pages I even drew up a terrible diagram that resembles how it works on page 5 :P
-

On a final note... I would like to point out that Joe plays by the rules every time. He thinks outside the box and people find that a bit threatening. Hell, half of the time I slap my forehead and say "Dammit! Why didn't I think of that!?"
Outside the box thinkers are often feared and will take a decent amount of heat. (Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Gandhi, etc etc.)
Ultimately, he plays within the rules of the tournament and we should respect Jonzu's assessment in letting bots compete upon his inspection. (Kudos for standing by your original opinion and letting the bot stay in the tournament)
In the future: if you forsee a possible loophole that might be exploited in a tournament... suggest a rule before the entries are accepted. If this AW tourney also had a rule that required at least 2wd for every bot, we would not be having this discussion. Also, maybe the BBEANS rules need to be refined some? like an actual test that can be run to determine the mobility capabilities of an entry? (If bot1 can reach block on other side of arena before x amount of time? or something like that)
/end rant
-
that has to be the friendliest rant ever.. I didnt even know it was until the end :P
thanks for the kind support JD, its good to have everything sorted with everyone, conflicts arnt much fun D: lol
-
I understand this robot now JoeBlo actually managed to make an explanation that was understandable
Yes, that would be me on a good day XD
Anyways Badnik's predictions are pretty much the opposite of mine, but WAIT THESE ARE RUMBLES ?!?!?!?
So i have to redo all predictions...
Round 1: WBWAPS wins. Pwn has a chance as well
Round 2: Triceratops wins, unless CF drives well, in that case it's Joe's victory
Round 3: Sheer Death wins. Craaig has a chance as well
Round 4: Murderous Hummingbird wins
-
First Round is up!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9IMns0pQ8
-
LOL at Degausser
Wait 1 minute match ? WTF is that ?
-
I think my main worry is HS robots.. shame majority of the field is them :P rammers kinda do the damage for me smashing onto the irons lol
-
Rules:
1:This will be Stock AW (Maximum weight 125.0 kgs.)
2:No nasty pickles or like that
3:Cheatbot2 & custom parts are not allowed
4:This competition is for 16
5:Arena will be Small arena
6:Matches are 1 minute
Here...
-
my predictions for the next battles
Battle 2: Starcore, with a 1 min match I may be in a shot with points though...I still think its Starcore's Match
Battle 3: close one between 090901 and Craaig but Im going with my Team Mate on this one :-D
Battle 4: I think Virus Bomb with have this one, I like Hypno-Ant though is it AI'd with FBS or Whipper ?
-
who has won and who`s out?
-
is it one goes through or multiple robots going through ?
-
3 go through. the first placed straight to round 3 and second an third to round 2.
-
The first one wins and moves directly to round 3
The next 2 move to second round
The last one is dropped out
In second and third rounds First 2 move on and the 2 last ones are dropped out.
4th round is final.
-
Whoa.. the 1 minute matches took me by surprise too.
Thought I had that even so (Qualified atleast, but still, a full win would of been good). WBWAPS didn't show that much control though, a possible AIing fault. When it wasn't flying from it's too-fast drive, it seemed to be attacking with it's rear end, which is.. well, you can tell it isn't a good idea.
Oh well. Should of AIed it myself.
-
I surprised that I won! I quessed that WBWAPS would beat me but it was really surprise!
Next battle in next weekend!
-
Next battle in next weekend!
So that means it will take a month just for the first round?
-
Jonzu you can thank the 1-minute match for your win...
it seemed to be attacking with it's rear end, which is.. well, you can tell it isn't a good idea.
Rammer.py always does that. (Pusher as well)
-
it seemed to be attacking with it's rear end, ....
I know people like that, but the crap comes out their mouths instead..
Jonzu you can thank the 1-minute match for your win...
Rammer.py always does that. (Pusher as well)
Very true.
-
Rammer.py always does that. (Pusher as well)
I believe I'll be looking into PY files a little then...
-
I'd like to see an AI that makes the bot attack from behind instead of just charge like a retarded suicidal robot.
-
I'd like to see an AI that makes the bot attack from behind instead of just charge like a retarded suicidal robot.
That'd be complex... or so I think :| Is there a function or way to detect which direction the targeted opponent is facing? That's the foundation of a dodge and backstab AI.
Then you'd need trial and error and a bit of luck to create a control output that swerves around bots of many sizes, not getting too close to be blindsided, but not being too far away to avoid it being a waste of time. That's without taking both bot's speed, movement AND turning-wise into account.
How would it detect a wall too, when the conditions are met, but the target is backed into a corner?
It's probably all wrong.. but eh.
-
I played with the idea long ago. Easiest way I came up with was to offset the drive wheels just a touch so that as it charged at a foe it would be off by a few degrees, miss them and swerve around and try again.
Since the 2nd pass was generaly closer, the angle of attack was smaller and it was able to hit from back or side (depending on how fast the other bot could turn around).
Issues of the other bot just needing to turn around, HS bots that could attack in all directions and yes hitting the arena wall as part of the charge, turn and charge again attack style all reduced effectiveness of the idea.
Starcore
-
So that means it will take a month just for the first round?
Not necassarily, he could upload a few more vids during that weekend, but he is only able to upload during weekends due to shcool.
-
Gah! Degausser moves in a straight line in my game. D:
Oh well, it's for fun anyway. XD
-
Phil created a Plow.py that is supposed to "flank then charge".
-
I'ts possible that I can upload 3 battles on next weekend because I'm thinking that one battle in one day like Friday: 2nd Battle Saturday: 3rd Battle and Sunday: 4th Battle Next week Friday: 2nd Round 1st Battle and so and so...
-
Or you could just record everything and just upload them on fixed intervals. :D
-
Or you could just record everything and just upload them on fixed intervals. :D
Nah... I don't like that idea... Sorry.

'Tis okay. It's just a suggestion. :P
-
'Tis okay. It's just a suggestion. :P
Yeah, I know...:approve:
-
DP, Battle 2 is up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVb68GxzJos
-
Not that exciting.
If CF puts in that kind of performance again it's not going to last any longer. Lucky CombatAnt was counted out - a sort of safety net.
-
I am going to really grow to hate the 1 minute time limit. A fun battle that just needed to play out.
I admit I built a fighter that would happily break off the parts of the opponents and crack their shell.
One minute time limits will give advantage to pusher/grinders and clinch encounters.
But such is life,
Starcore
-
I agree. I saw SawCube getting a nice KO and just before the final blow: Time is up, the The winners are in. Pretty cheap, as it would have been a nice match. (2 possible KO's)
So... GHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY
-
I will agree with this as well.
The match started well, but the 1 minute thing pretty much killed it.
Also i am pretty surprised that this isn't being a yawnfest.
-
I can see where you guys are coming from... But, it was stated in the rules long ago that the matches would be 1 minute. Saying that it is ghey now is kinda null. If you objected with that rule why didn't you speak up before the tourney even started?
While, I too, like to see a match play out until carnage is fully achieved. But, these are Jonzu's rules and I think he just wanted to keep things short and simple for his first tourney. So far he has done a decent job.
Maybe he will have longer match times for his next tournament. It think he is just learning the ropes right now, so chill out.
-
Okay match. Not as exciting as it could have been though....
-
I didn't mention before because I too was willing to have him give it a try. And in seeing it for the 1st and 2nd match its too short and I don't like it.
He also didn't mention in the rules that it would be 4 way matches. So that is 4 bots in only 1 minute. Does that feel right to you? Now with Warmachine I can sometimes get 2 second kills but even heavy weights it is often not decided in the 1st minute.
Also remember that in the past many Ant Weights used plastic armor but now DSA for Antweights is much more common. Much tougher shell need longer to see who will win. I know Triceratops has DSA and I am sure most the rest do too.
I am voicing my concern that 1 minute tourneys are a bad idea in the future. Even worse for 4 way matches. Triply worse for only 1 match, winner advances (also not mentioned), thats the end of that.
It will be the main negative point of this tournament. That the matches were too short. I am sure Jonzu95 is feeling the same way.
I have tried to help shape in good directions in the years of being involved with RA2. One minute 4-way matches with one chance to advance is not a good direction.
Starcore
-
Good points Starcore. I guess I was just being defensive for Jonzu because this is his first hosted tourney. You make some valid points about what was omitted from the rules as well. Hopefully he will learn from this and improvise for the future.
-
Honestly I hope he gives the bots in a pack afterwords, I'd like to do the bracket in a 3 min fashion...
-
If I will do CombatAnts 2, Matches will be then 2-3 minutes. :)
-
If CF puts in that kind of performance again it's not going to last any longer. Lucky CombatAnt was counted out - a sort of safety net
can I ask what you mean by that ?
I have a feeling rumble format confused CF, you can see it fighting correctly against the winner in the closing seconds, didnt fair to well with multiple targets. o well at least im trying new things :-D
-
Will the next match be up soon? I wanna see how Placebo does :D
-
Just updated! :D
-
Pusher.py fails again :P
-
-.-
-
I just realized that i`m still in xD

With CombatAnt immobilized you wouldn't have to worry about CF getting eliminated from the competition, as 1st to 3rd go through, though 1st gets that boost into Round 3. Yeah, it doesn't exactly have the control for a rumble. Well, kind of, but not for point scoring in 1 minute rounds.
-
If I will do CombatAnts 2, Matches will be then 2-3 minutes. :)
and please make it DSL.

ah I see what you mean now, dont worry I wasn't angry just wanting to know what you were getting at. it would be nice if the other robots came to fight me before the end of the 1 min match :P
the control issue, if you look back to that picture I showed earlier, if a robot is in front it will accelerate the z-tek to shuffle towards it but with 3 robots and the z-tek accelerating about 180 degrees to shuffle the robot became a spinning top part way through the round
is it still rumbles from here on now ?
-
Ah, why did Placebo suck so much? XD
-
Because of Pusher.py and the 1 min time limit...
And i laughed at Thyrus's sig. You just need to put them in bold now XD
-
If I will do CombatAnts 2, Matches will be then 2-3 minutes. :)
Why don't you make all the matchs after the first round 2-3 minutes?
-

Yes, I will
Why don't you make all the matchs after the first round 2-3 minutes?
I'm Thinking That Round 3 will be 2 Minutes & Round 4 (Final) Will be 3 Minutes. Good Idea?
-
Yes, I will
I'm Thinking That Round 3 will be 2 Minutes & Round 4 (Final) Will be 3 Minutes. Good Idea?
Well, yeah.. but are you sure? You'd be changing tourney rules after it started. That's not exactly good practice, caving in like that.
-
I say follow the original plan, make your improvements next tournament :-D
-
no the batterys will run out
No they won't, Sheer Death only has one pink and is able to last 2 mins. atleast.
-
Because of Pusher.py and the 1 min time limit...
Damn Pusher.py >.<
-
Did Jonzu say anything about having to take a break for this week? The weekend's almost over here and not having the weekly video would be crippling to an already slow tournament.
-
Well, Should I record now the last battle of round 1?
-
It was your own promise to upload a video every weekend, heh.
-
Yup! xD
-
*DP* Odd, I can't upload. There must be technical problem..
-
as described in the doomed bots thread youtube is having technical problems with there uploader lately :-D
-
I see...
-
Hey!
how's that 4th battle coming along. I'm excited! :)
-
Yes, I'm curious too. Unless Youtube is just that crap, you should be able to upload multiple 1 minute rounds with ease.
Isn't there a mult-uploader?
-
youtube is working again because I started uploading videos again :-D
-
I will upload the video soon...
-
Or not..?
-
Or yes...
-
Well... you really need to call for help. A video a week is pretty bad for a tourney with such short matches, but you can't even keep up with that. :|
-
That's your opinion...
-
Sorry, but you could get it done a lot faster. Not to be rude, but 1 vid a week is slow. If you need help, ask someone.
-
Well... you really need to call for help. A video a week is pretty bad for a tourney with such short matches, but you can't even keep up with that. :|
This. The last match was uploaded at least 2 weeks ago, and I pretty much forgot about this tourney. If you need help, ask for it.

This.
Haha, sorry, it sounds so badass when used in that way.
-
this is going to take forever
-
Well, I have a one problem... The Brackets! I'm Not sure How I'm gonna update them...
-
you edit them in a program and re upload
pm me who goes to which round and I can do it if you like
-
Ok, Thanks!
-
Stupid youtube! It doesn't let me upload the video...
-
Bracket Updated/ Constructed ;)
-
Thankyou Joe! I'ts great!!
-
3 videos uploaded but 4 fights are done? how could this be?
-
Jonsu PM'd me all the results, I had no idea the forth fight wasnt done otherwise I would have left it blank
:confused: sorry guys
-
bad bad joe :D
-
Hey, it's results. We're finally getting results. Not a video, but we know what's going on, finally.
-
I'm sorry of that but youtube didn't upload my video so I had to tell the first round results...
-
I have Good News and Bad news... Which you want to hear first??
-
how about both :P
-
Okay, First Bad news, I can upload videos on 21.12 And good news, Tourney WILL end before 2010
-
why can you not upload on youtube ?
also 3 weeks... Im guessing school has finished ? otherwise I feel your putting pressure on yourself
-
School finishes 18.12 And I go to my dad on 21.12... And my mum took my computer because of bad language
-
And good news, Tourney WILL end before 2010
This better be true.
-
I just dont want you putting any extra pressure on your self to get these done :mrgreen:
but funny enough I have set starting dates, closing dates and splash/ bracket dates for CC3 already :P
-
Extra pressure ? EXTRA pressure ? You've got to be kidding me...
-
Can I know how my bot did in its match?
-
Look the brackets!
-
I already know where it placed, I just want to know how it preformed. Did any motors get knocked off of it?
-
How about you give the bots to somone who CAN record a match?
-
sorry I cant do it this time :P
but getting help could be an idea
-
I'm disabled at the mo, besides- I can't record sound.
-
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,1833.0.html
try that for help
make sure non of your sound volumes are muted ;)
-
Battle 4 is up!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNvUb1RXGU0
-
Thanks for posting the match Jonzu. Much appreciated!
-
The Round 2 will come soon! :approve:
-
I didn't even last the full minute. I knew I made that chassis too tall! :/
-
I updated the Prizes to the front pages. You should watch them! :mrgreen:
-
I'm suddenly demotivated to win.
Maybe that's just the needlessly long waiting times but I'm putting it to the prizes. Not that I actually like Dawn, but choice of death isn't exactly tempting.
-
The winner can choose what happens to Dawn but if he doesn't want, i'ts ok!
-
who said anything about death ? I though we just get her ? :P
*joking, dont go accusing me of anything*
-
ROUND 2 HAZ BEEN UPDATED! Both Battles...
-
For a not well build bot my LADU performes very well :D

I wish I could say the same about mine.

When you want Round 3? ;)
-
My favorites are Placebo and WBWAPS.
If only they used OmniRam as well...
-

I vote for 3 months :P

The funny thing is... apparently they do. Jonzu gave me his copy of WBWAPS (just to be sure) and the bindings and it apparently uses OmniRam.
So unless it's some twisted version....

Why so imprecise Thyrus?
I vote 7 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes, 59 seconds and 2 milliseconds. XD
-
Nah, The round 3 will come 12/28-29!

Jonzu said the tournament would be finished by the end of the year.

It's little messy...

Put a line space for each binding and put them in 'code' tags. :D
[Edit] CF runs on Omni?!?! Whoa. O_O

im a smarty pants :mrgreen:
I did make a CF python but it ran better with some cleaver omni work :mrgreen:
(not to mention 2 days of just testing :P)

Never heard of this AI before...what does it do that an AI like FBS_1 doesn't do?
-
Only spins one way I think.
-
Only spins one way I think.
ok, just wondering.
-
PillarPlus will chase the opponent and only spin when within range of them.
take a look at BigBadBrother from CC1
I dont have the .py in front of me but it either works off a whipzone or the range in the bindings python commands, if the latter Range: 1 wont do it much favors I think

Round 3 is uploaded!
-
Round 3 is uploaded!
While still not efficient going about things, WBWAPS shows the power it should of done before.
Left itself open far too many times though....
-
ummm the link says the video was removed.
-
DP
My predictions for the final:
WINNER: Wedge bot with a pointy stick- fast and powerful.
2nd:Sheer Death- tough weaponry, but tough to drive.
3rd: Mercury Drone: better version of my bot.
-
Yeah, he had to take it off because it only displayed: An error has occurred, please try again later.
So he should upload it in a few hours or tomorrow.
-
Here it is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SzAKaievMg
-
Well that sucks, 1 second away from winning.
-
And you placed 4th...
-
And you placed 4th...
I got counted out with ONE second left.

-
The Stock AW sucks but CA had 2 thight battles..
-
Hey whadda ya know? I had the right predictions!
-
Nope, Sheer Death was LAST!
-
But still... Redline, what do you wanna do to Dawn? :P
-
I'm shaking! I'm so excited what Redline will do...
-
I'm shaking! I'm so excited what Redline will do...
If in wasn't for that last second, that ONE second, she would be dead by now.
-
Oh cool... Sad that I didn't win but we will see what happens...
-
Hey Jonzu. Thanks for taking the time to finish up the tourney. Despite a few delays you came through and got it all done. I hope you learned a bunch while hosting the tourney. I think the 1 minute length of the matches turned out to be a pretty cool rule and resulted in a pretty close final at the end! Great effort man.

Thanks JD, Congratulations to your 2nd place...
-
Well that sucks, 1 second away from winning.
you should see my BBEANS 5 match, I was winning by points and fell oota with 1 second to go in the match :P
-
Wow... that match was tight.. so damn tight.
Doesn't feel like much of a victory. Sheer Death was clearly winning, and then that.. then again, that's the thing with 1 wheel drive.
Unsure if I should give the win away as sympathy or keep it because that was it's glaring flaw.
-
This tournament is officially the cheapest one known to man, with about a third of the matches being one by a lesser bot and a WBP.
-
Well... I think all of them were WBPs. I'm not checking.
Either way, it doesn't have to be a outright win to be exciting.
A lesser bot winning... has that ever been a problem?
-
Not neccicarily, I just did that to get 123STW and nary on my side.
-
Don't know if that'd work after you say your intentions..
Anyway... 090901, I don't really care how she dies or whatever. Choose.
-
Okay,I say she is beheaded. Jonzu can start crying now
-
<3 WBWAPS
I so called it as the best bot :P
Anyways, the Storm wheel choice is really game-breaking...
-
Okay,I say she is beheaded. Jonzu can start crying now
I'm not Crying... I... AM... VERY... ANGRY!!!
-
does it really matter ?
I don't see why we are having a discussion of a fictional pokemon character like this ?
how about a new game for everyone to play, its called... stay on topic :mrgreen:
-
Well... the winner of the tournament gets to choose how Dawn will die.
I don't know how it'll be shown.. but nevertheless.
So yes, it actually -is- relevant. ^^;

Yeah... I am not sure how motivated Jonzu will be to photoshop Dawn being beheaded...

I might have some extra time this weekend... I will see what I can do. :gawe:

he have a lot of sadistic Pokemon on this forum.. and they all seem to revolve around Red ?
-
Should we do to the chatterbox a pokemon thread because of that what joe said?
-
@Joe:
Ahaha, it's purely concidental, but so damn awesome.
I gave the kill choice to 090901 but .. nomatter how much luck it was, it was a win for me. But you knew that. Well, maybe not it was 090901's choice.
... Whoa, I didn't think I could (basically) put 'me' and 'lucky' in one sentence.
-
If you are talking of dawn, STC didnt kill her... It was 090901

She is Beautiful, Cute & Pretty... Dawn is perfect for me.

Thankyou system32... :mrgreen:

Say that to jonzu - I'm like 5 years older than you.
-
So what?
-
twas only a joke Nar.. oh and try the number 3 but im 21 in spirit :P
anyway the point is
The whole subject of Dawn seems to only cause spam now to threads not to mention providing others "ammunition" so how about we just keep that whole subject off this forum or if you must express your love for a pokemon character please use the correct Pokemon thread within the other games section.
I will delete all other out of place Pokemon - User relationship motivated posts within this area

Not a surprise...
