Natef, same here.

Im not too confident in versus Popup, because all popups during testing beat Minesweeper like it wasnt even there! Tough, those were SC v4 bots so this might actually end up different.

We'll just have to wait and see...

Forgetting the Cheap ass popups?

Also, You build a crawler?

Since when were popups cheap...? Your just mad cause you cant build, well, worth sh*t.

I cant wait to see the first one wheeled HS fight.

Technically, your bot shouldn't be allowed in this tourney, so, good luck?

When popups first came onto the RA2 scene, there was a similar backlash against them for much of the same reasons used against Bumble Bee. It was seen as cheap and unfair to get under the other bot and hit their unprotected bottoms. And now look, popups are basically a staple design of RA2, and they're also beatable.

NO.

Jack Daniels, eh? I think I might actually have a chance, but if the popup AI decides to be a bitch, then...

Yeah, you do. Guybrush does not fare well against popups usually. But it will not be your AI that you should worry about, it will be your speed I think. What drive motors do you have on that rig? If you got something zippy, then my bot is surely toast.

JD: Kinda feels like his ARBBC (did I type it right?) bot. I like it, but 6 irons can't do much.

Yeah, wicked similar (wow, I can't believe you remember my other bot.) ARBBC bot "Stormcrow" is a similar design but never seemed to fare well in combat. I really like this design because of the funky srimech, it is amusing to watch.

And you are right, six irons is grossly out-weaponed by a lot of bots here, but the dual-plow protection allows for a nice long fight in most cases.

It's got rubbers on HPZs and 8 razors. It's kinda like a MW SurgicalStrike in my opinion. And Guybrush seems a lot like the SCv3 Fury, which Go Up Here can easily beat. But I've still got that exposed front, so anything can happen.

Good luck to both of us!

When will the 1st round begin?

pyscolone · « **Reply #26 on:** August 10, 2009, 04:48:39 PM »

Kind of lame that JoeB entered about 6 different bots. If its just because of the same chassis that should've been clarified in the rules. No big deal though.

Pretty cool that most people like my bot. I'm not sure about my fight against Nary though. Seism 16 was meant to take out anything wedged and HS but Nary usually has pretty good wedges.

System32 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 10, 2009, 04:50:01 PM »

Yeah, it's pretty much done like ELBITE.

You forgot to include me in the splash. D:

Did i? *check splash* Beep i did, shall go fix that now XD

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #30 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:16:35 PM »

One question popped into my mind just now: Since Joe's bot was splashed that way, does it mean that he can choose wich weapons to use in each round?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:34:37 PM »

yeah SSG ^^ its the first interchangeable bot in an AI tournament :P pretty much everything is the same except what is on the end of the DDT

I'm dead.

funny enough I didnt want to vs you either :P your plows scare me

pyscolone · « **Reply #32 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:35:49 PM »

Thats pretty lame IMO, unless it has to go in order of the row his bots are in, which isn't as lame. Also it doesn't have the same internal parts.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #33 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:38:16 PM »

but I didn't ask a particular way for DK to splash them ? I dont think there is anything wrong with building something different... btw Reier its a popup first round

pyscolone · « **Reply #34 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:39:45 PM »

If they had the same internal I would think otherwise.. maybe, but since they don't even have the same parts inside the chassis I just think its a bit cheap.

I really don't care because I'm not facing you, but if I were and I had Militant. You could be like hmm.... Who can I choose from my arsenal of bots... The anti-HS thats who!

Natef · « **Reply #35 on:** August 10, 2009, 07:17:57 PM »

I hope my new bot will do better than the old one I entered...

Booooo...
My wedges aren't really that good. The difference than the MR in my sig/shocase is that MR/DR has internal SnapperIIs, as opposed to external Snapper2s, and 4 razors/4 irons as opposed to 2 razors/4 irons. And a slight chassis rebuild. IDK which is better, I just sent in some entry @ the last minute. =P

everything is the same except 3 robots have a second ddt next to the original but other then that its just what is on the ends that are different... I dont want to get in an argument over it as I respect you and your opinion but

it seems that the going way is that is someone makes something different from normal that can provide results it is considered cheap winning ? Sage got it from BBEANS 5 but really it was only another way of doing something ?

its is nearly imposable to build something that can beat anything it will encounter in its same weight class so why criticize something when theoretically it still has the odds of losing ?

anyway thats just my opinion

SC: Most of us built our bots specifically to beat this. Not me, however. Darn. D:

I figured many had faced an earlier version of Starcore V4 Fury Human Driver vs AI. Fury may be out of date by now which could be a compliment of my helping many to get better and refine their bot building skills.

My main goal was to see how long Fury lasts AI vs AI.

So now there are 2 things being argued in my thread, The 2 crawlers, and joeblo's iron outlaws....
Just can't win them all eh?
