Brackets uploaded. Jack, the randomizer was kind and you got your wish.  Discuss away, and I'll try and film a match or possibly 2 when I get home from work tonight.  As always, this is not a gaurantee.

Looks like Jack had the same idea as me.
 
FYI, the spinners on 6 Impossible Things spin down.  The plan is to hit the opponent, launch myself up, then come down and hit their top.  :gawe:
 
I'm a little worried about Riot Shield's tall front and side hammers though.

My guess when making the bot was that it was going to be choka with spinners. And for the most part that is right. I wanted something different that could withstand a spinner whilst my hammers had a chance to knock discs off. We'll see if that theory holds true soon, I hope. ;)

So imma fighting ogre ? REVENGE WILL BE MIIINE.

Anyways, seeing as how much I outweapon him, this fight should be easy.

PREDICTIONS TIME

Click > DSC : As expected and as happened.

Craaig > Kurt Wylde : Obviously. I don't even feel like being sarcastic and putting NO WAI !!! or something.

Naryar > Ogre : I outweapon him by far, and since this is hovercrafts it's pretty much all what matters along with weapon speed and torque. Unless you have a hammer against a HS.

Conraa > Yoda : This is quite difficult to gauge because while Conraa has moar weapon HP and weight, one spinner will just not be into the battle at all. I still think Conraa will outweapon Yoda and WBP 'cause he has more concussion weapons and maybe weapon HP in it's two spinners.

Second round -

Click > SM : While the outweapon match might be difficult to give to one or another, I do believe Click can win because he spins down, and therefore he can attack and damage the disc.

Nicsan > Craaig : Both weapons are equally as damaging, and 3c0p (it's piercing and concussion values) hammer VS 3c0p hammer usually results in similar damage for the two sides. But Nicsan just has more hammers, and more weapon weight.

Naryar > SKBT : SKBT's design would have worked against a flat design, my weapon however is not flat. I'll just outweapon him (or rip off one servo, resulting in one weird havok) and then spend my time trapped, pushing aimlessly on the near-invincible plow array and winning moar points, unless a WBP. Boring fight.

Conraa > Jack : Conraa just largely outweapons Jack's design. Not only these sledges has normals, and thou shall be punished for that jack, but this disc isn't even well protected by the tiny weapons. Also, Jack can't win by top-ripping since Conraa's bot is a flying juggler. Really.

Third round -

Nicsan > Clickbeetle : Yes, I'm serious. Click doesn't have the weapons to outweapon Nic, and I highly doubt Click's design can climb high enough to go on top of nicsan and win easily. If he can, however, well the fight is all Click's.

Naryar > Conraa : Yet another bot that I can outweapon. I think I can outweapon pretty much everyone anyways.

[Street Fighter 2 announcer voice]FINAL ROUND -[/Street Fighter 2 announcer voice]

Naryar > Nicsan : He has 240 kg of hammers. While my 140 kg of razors will probably just all fall easily, my 225 kg of beaters can do the rest. Especially with high fracture. Though somehow I am doubting my victory...

Post by: Naryar on November 10, 2011, 10:18:03 AM
wat ? It's a UPWARDS POKER ?

What a joke, it's even worse than I thought. You can expect to lose to click.

And yes nicsan, I thought your bot was horrible at first because it's just so simple compared to the others, but it outweapons a large number of bots here.

Looks to me like you would've been fine except the AI was a bit too trigger-happy and allowed 6IT to hit your hammers when you fired early.  That didn't happen as much in the second match and look what happened...

Quick update.  My computer has officially became a paperweight.  Finally gave up the ghost a few days ago after struggling on it's last limbs for 2 weeks.  I got a loaner from a friend tonight, however, so this is not the end of ITAT.  At least, I hope. This thing is old and slow as crap, (originally came with windows ME, if that gives you an idea) so i'm hoping things will run smoothly enough on it.  Will be testing sometime tomorrow after sleep and band practice. 


Thank you all so much for your patience.

It was an emachines, need I say more? It was always meant to be a temporary replacement anyway, it just became more permanent than I expected. 


So, yeah, this datasaurus that i'm using now isn't going to be able to do this.  Technically, It'll run RA2 and fraps simultaneously, but it's so laggy that's it's not even worth it.  And I don't think I'll be able to get my new one within the time limit.  So, it is with regret that I announce the cancellation.  I don't want to hold any other new tournaments back from starting. 


That being said, I don't feel right about people building bots and not getting the payoff for it, so if i'm allowed, the tournament will be completed in the future in an unofficial capacity, just so you guys haven't completely wasted your time.  I still willingly accept my tourney ban and host count reduction, though. 


My sincerest apologies.

Thank you all for your patience with this.  Yes, it's starting again.  There is a slight tidbit that I wanna make sure everyone is aware of.  I lost two of the bots in the computer transition, Ogre's "Awesome Drumfill" and the byebot, Sussudio.  Sussudio, I rebuilt to as close as I could get.  If there's a difference at all, it's a slight change to the chassis size, and the paintjob.    Awesome Drumfill was rebuilt by Ogre, with me making sure he got it as close to the original as possible.  I doubt you guys would've even noticed the difference, but I thought it right and fair to make it known.

smartzones are there.  It works the way I assume you meant it, but, since this is just an AI change, if you'd like to fix it, i'll allow it.  Make it quick though, I'm gonna be posting vids very soon.

Yup, I ran into the same problem with 6IT.  That's why I have that disc on an axle mount in the back.  If it just has a static support, it can't move.
 
Also, WYEDG doesn't work at all like how I expected, but it's a pretty cool idea.  Seeing that, I wonder if it would have been possible to modify my Thwomp bot into a downward poker.
Title: Re: In The Air Tonight SBV
Post by: Conraaa on July 18, 2012, 03:30:17 PM
How did you expect it to work? A straight juggler? That was the original plan but robots rose above it when it got under them.
Also modify that bot! I want to see a working thwomp bot. :P
Title: Re: In The Air Tonight SBV
Post by: yoda9726 on July 18, 2012, 07:11:03 PM
I'm with conraaa there about the thwomp bot.  I'm still depressed that the ai for the thrusters was screwy.  Would've loved to see that thing in the tourney.


So.....who's up for some round 2 action?  Get to the first post then, it's there.

seems to happen a lot. the closer the bots get to just hovercraft and chassis, the more they tend to explode.  Seems to be a much higher frequency than non-hovercraft bots.  The last match, technically I guess could have been either bot causing the havok, But I attributed it to yours based on the fact that it had more components knocked off, which seems to be the most likely to cause it.  as far as the 'squirrel monkey' declaration, I just typed the wrong name.  hope that clears it up

Your poor hard drive... having to process 10+ mins of video every stinking time you have a match.  I hope your new computer is fast at least!



Definitely faster than the one that died on me, and Lightspeed compared to the temp replacement.  It doesn't take all that long to get them processed.  All in all, i can't nor won't complain.


I'm gonna go ahead and say this now.  there will not be a sequel to this.  It was interesting to see what people would come up with, but all told, it's a bit boring in execution.  Main reason is there's not a whole lot of surprises.  For the most part, the second match is pretty much a repeat of the first match.   Also, I find it unsatisfying that when a bot is so close to being destroyed, it havoks into the ground. I kinda wish I would've left the normal havok restart rule out for this, as every time a bot has havoked, it's been at a point when we might as well just declare the other bot the winner of the match.  But, it is what it is.

That feeling when you think you lose a tournament, then learn there's a loser's bracket, do well in it, and then get your hope completely shut down. I'm not even happy with how I lost. Stupid wobbling making click dodge my attacks.

MARK THESE WORDS, CLICKBEETLE : I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE !

Even if top four isn't bad... the FIRST position is the only one WORTHY of the MIGHTY NARYAR !

Nevertheless, when I built that bot I had a feeling the slow weapon speed would be a problem. But I didn't took into account that hovercrafts are slow paced, so I thought "outweaponing everyone" was the best tactic when it wasn't.

No definite feeling about who's gonna win now that I'm out (apart from Jack Daniels which is definitely not gonna win), so I'm not gonna root for anyone.

I was rooting for you.  Mainly because if we both reached the finals I was pretty sure my bot would destroy yours.   :gawe:

He's doing a LOT better than I initially thought myself.   Had the same feeling as...I believe it was Naryar.  So simplistic.  Think we've got our unanimous "Bot that did better than expected". 


This should all be finished up when I get home from work tonight.  One match left to film, then it's just a matter of editing them and posting them.

I think I'm evan surprised at how well I am doing. I didn't think the bots would be that good. If I did I probably would have built something more complicated. But then again i most likely wouldn't have gotten so far.

Semifinals, Loser's bracket Finals, and Grand Finals (finally) all done and uploaded.   That means we have a winner!

Talk about a razor guy run...
 
Congrats nicsan, though your bot is actually quite a bit better than razor guy, it's still a very impressive victory.
 
Also:  :FFFUUU  at JD's discs fitting exactly between my discs.  Didn't see that coming at all.  If I had beat him... reckon I might've had a chance at beating nicsan and winning the championship.

Whoa, I wouldn't have expected that.  Did Destructonator hover too high and hit HoverVore's extender arm or something?
 
But thanks for satisfying my curiosity.   :mrgreen:

Pretty much.  First match HoverVore hit the chassis just perfectly and it was over quick.  the next two, Destructonator was able to hover just high enough to hit the perms as they were coming down, and it was game over at that point.
