Lookin good. ETA on the first vids?
what in the world is my robot supposed to beA Robot built by the one and only Pizzaguy?
nah pizzaguy didn't make it; i can barely get him to play the game to enter my tournamentswhat in the world is my robot supposed to beA Robot built by the one and only Pizzaguy?
I believe it's actually a standard Flipper Thrack, though it's properly not a good one, but has a nice theme on the other hand.
Don't put the time in the video tab, put it in a results spoiler. And you really, really should do this all in one video, or at least upload all the videos at once.

If you upload a bunch of videos at once, I will only watch the one I'm in. If you spread out your videos, I am more likely to watch all of them.

Aaaand that's this tournament ruined in one fell swoopTo be fair, that's not his fault from a hosting perspective. Upsets happen all the time (case in point: razor guy and insult to injury V from bbeans 1 and 5 respectively). At the very most it could be an AI issue, but that's about it.

What is 100% his fault though, is making such an unstable VS. :rolleyes:

Doesn't really have the same ring to it does it mr strawman?
And only the best time counts.Honestly what's the point of even including the VS in the tournament if you can only get a good time by having it suicide? To ensure unlucky people can't win regardless of their bot-s quality?"The tournament winner has all but been declared 3 bots in due to only having to fight half the bots of everyone else.

he only won one of his fights, the other two he lost pretty quickly. it seems feasible that someone else could do similar

IIRC it's only your best time. Total time would make this situation a lot less ghey because it would reduce the impact of wins-by-anomaly like thisAnd only the best time counts.Honestly what's the point of even including the VS in the tournament if you can only get a good time by having it suicide?

wait do the fights not get like added together or something

Nice driving with Dark Al's bot.(http://i.imgur.com/iy6cHy3.png)
First of all, I have a few points that needs to be clear up on Malleus and how it struggled to move before everyone decides on the "Shield is manually driving/rigging" the tournament conclusion that Geice and some other users had being pointing out. During when I was manually controlling Malleus in the test lab. Malleus show signs of having a large turning circle, the result of this was mainly due to the gyroscopic effect of the dual perms for Malleus' weapon. This isn't a problem when the weapon motor is off, but when I hold down the "Spin" button while turning the bot 45 degrees, a similar effect happen in vain to IRL bots similar to Sunshine Lollibot. Due to this, everytime when Malleus turned in large bursts such as turning 90 degrees sharply in any direction, the gyroscopic effect kicked onto one sides of the bot, allowing one of the law enforcement bot to easily get under Malleus and hitting Malleus around. Why Malleus struggled to move forward was heavily due to the position of the front plows and back, extender protection of the bot itself. If you looked carefully while watching the video, the front protection was completely low to the ground due to the Skirt hinge I used to put the extenders for the two front plows and the skirt backs, you did see that Malleus did move, but that only when the wheels were touching the ground and the plows weren't preventing the bot from moving forward from the plows being so low to the ground due to fears of having bots getting under Malleus. This may look like Shield wasn't moving the bot itself, but trust me if honestly wished to download the bot itself and tried to drive it, you'll see that the plows prevent the bot from moving far, unless the weapon motor was on and you have the drive moving forward. The same problem will occur even when you do drive it or AI the bot.Nice driving with Dark Al's bot.(http://i.imgur.com/iy6cHy3.png)
Peep those numbers. In all honesty, I'm glad the RA2 devs had the foresight to give a sign as to whether robots are AI controlled or not.

In truth no. You see, I never told Shield through a PM that I messed up on the bot design and wanted him to drive it. At the time I thought that this was going to be like numerous other tournaments when the Host was going to AI like every other tournament I enter up to that point, so out of common sense, I expected that Shield would AI the bot instead of him Driving it. Also, I never told Shield about these faults either in hope of keeping the problems to myself to learn from my building mistakes. So, your assumption is nothing more that just a slip up into thinking that Shield was driving the bot, but this was nothing more that just a few build faults that I kept quite.Nice essayFirst of all, I have a few points that needs to be clear up on Malleus and how it struggled to move before everyone decides on the "Shield is manually driving/rigging" the tournament conclusion that Geice and some other users had being pointing out.

So you got SHIELD to drive your bot because you ****ed up designing it and didn't make it stable enough. Seems totally fair.

So, is there a particular reason Dark-Al's bot wasn't AI driven?
