Im having issues witht he recording. When the file is played back it has flickering of the image so much its simply unusable. Has anyone got any ideas for screen recorders that are free?I use Bandicam. Not only is it free, it's easy to use and safe to download.
The AI on these bots is pretty bad too, example being at the very beginning when the robots kept jerking left and right. I would just throw that match out the window and fix the AI."I will try me best to AI for you, just dont expect perfection."
Some builders don't know how to AI, or might not have the time to learn, or flat out can't learn. You'd just not let them enter?
Yes the bot should move forward and fire it's weapon. Forward is not left then right then left then right... It's a relatively easy fix too, after a very quick test of the AI.
That's a pretty harsh rule and would reflect pretty badly in the number of entrants. I almost put a rule into a tournament that you could enter 2 bots if you AIed them both, otherwise just 1, so positive reinforcement rather than punishments.
But whatever. Just seems short sighted in that some people genuinely might have tried to learn but can't. In fact, it makes you look lazy as a host.
I never expect perfection. I expect adequacy.The AI on these bots is pretty bad too, example being at the very beginning when the robots kept jerking left and right. I would just throw that match out the window and fix the AI."I will try me best to AI for you, just dont expect perfection."
Thats true, quality over quantity ;).

I don't AI my bots. I've AI'd one bot in my five years on GTM. Does that mean my bots aren't quality?
Is this lazy? Yes. It is.It's a whole new level of laziness because you can't be bothered to change one number in a binding line so the bot drives right.
At least i put out the AI folder.
You're recording with Bandicam but it looks like you're also recording with a camera. Is that some effect you put in there for no reason or what? Also, are you actually saying you don't know how to mute audio in WMM? Just go to 'Edit', then you will clearly see 'Video Volume'. Then, if you don't want the video to be in silence, just import some music in. It really isn't that hard to do and I think that reflects on how lazy you are.No, im using bandicam.And I barely use WMM, so i didnt know that.
TL,DR: Axe Bot, Panzer Strike have possibly dodgy AI, great banter definitely has bad AI, kekscopes is ok,
new video soon, will be sped up 2x so dont use audio.
EDIT: Video up, and in testing only great banter has issues with driving. Im putting that down to too fast motors.
I don't understand why my bot keeps faceplanting. It's been in several other tournaments and it's never done that.I think i set the range too high for the drum. Ill lower it a bit in the next match to try and stop it.
is Ebony on the exchange? i want to play around with it. it looks awesome.It is now:
