What is the max amount of people?
Off to make a HS.Off too make a Rammer that can kill HSs and maybe Pop-Ups.
So you're building a bot to beat a type of robot which is banned from this tournament?Off to make a HS.Off too make a Rammer that can kill HSs and maybe Pop-Ups.
Then tell Clickbeetle about it, then he might reserve you a spot.
aw man, i can't play ra2 till august 6 :rageYou should have told him before hand, because that's when he would have allowed you to have a spot saved.
Just to clarify, Hax Mode is too new and controversial to be considered a "normal" building technique, therefore it is NOT allowed.Do you know how tempted I am to make a bot and use HAX mode to stack 2 pinks together on it, just to get it disqualified during the filming stage?
tsk, tsk.. mr Beetle
Not setting a good example with all your sign ups system rule breaking :P
I'm sending once I perfect the AI.
i got a question.Did you even bother to read the rules?
let's say, if i got a flipper with 4 iron spikes at the top. if the spikes break off, do we get them back?
i did read the rules, it said if a component breaks off, it's gone, but it said something about a VS getting it's irons back
3.11 If a bot has vertical spinning weapons and it loses some weapons, the remaining weapons will be arranged in order to keep the bot as balanced as possible.
stratocaster may ride one last time
4.5 You can update or change your entry at will during the signup period. After signups close on July 31, entries are locked down and cannot be changed unless it is absolutely necessary for the bot's functioning or legality.
signups close on July 31
Wonder how many people are in the tourney.Front page is generally a good indication
CB, I really think you should extend the time to 2 weeks. Because 13 is not a good number for the creator of the best RA2 tournaments of all time.
I want to enter, is it too late? It has been so long since I raised heck. Also if you enter a stacked HS, you are gay and will be flamed.
I submitted mine two days ago
What do you reckon is the optimum design for this?
Front page updated. Up to 26 bots--a pretty nice number to have. Decently big but not overwhelming.
I submitted mine two days ago
ORLY? I haven't gotten it. You'll have to resend (don't worry, I'll reserve you a spot if you miss this and don't resend before midnight today).
I can't wait to call out every WIMP and P*ZZY that entered an HS. A True HS.
Send in something else then :PI can't wait to call out every WIMP and P*ZZY that entered an HS. A True HS.
I had no time to make anything else D:

I'm sure I sent you a PM. I'll send you another one. =)
I may need until tomorrow to send, but I promise to AI myself.
who has two thumbs and entered a nearly 2 year old bot? this guy!
Me too. I bot had a bunch of weight left over that I put into less-needy things, until I thought up some genius ideas for sneaky tactics for this. Today. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU

Out of curiosity, what sneaky tactics were those?
For those that want to try facing off against my entry (AI vs AI is a good comparison choice) here is my entry: T-888 Terminator
https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/HW/Starcore_T-888%20Terminator.bot (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/HW/Starcore_T-888%20Terminator.bot)
For the AI line use:
list.append(("T-888 Terminator","Omni",{'invertible':True,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'range':30,'weapons':(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39)}))
T-888 Terminator is also over 2 years old. I couldn't find the Component Look Up tool to map the Weapons part numbers.
A 27HS with 4 Ram Plates and 3 Casters to be more of an Ironbot.
It's weakness for Ironbot is probably only having 2 Wheels.
We will see how well the Maces, Ram Plates and Casters protect them.

DSA?
I'm supposed to fight THAT! help me dsa.
ikt, ms. failurejuiceWell you asked me how to use DSA, so I told you how to use DSA.

Starcore, you should use Rubber wheels instead of Grannies. They have a larger collision mesh, meaning they will still provide invertibility while becoming smaller targets and looking better as well.
Also, it might be beneficial to use the snapper loading glitch (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4512.0.html) to attach the drive motors on the inside point of the 40cm (see that little bit of extender we can see before it enters the batteries? attach them there). This will give the motors slightly more protection as well as allow you to rotate the drive motors flush with the ground, creating less ground clearance and making it tougher on those pesky popups.
The last thing would be that the backs of ramplates have never seemed very sturdy to me (perhaps I'm wrong here, but that's what I found in my experience). So, I think it would be beneficial to move the side ramplates back a bit if possible. The weight gain from the other modifications should be enough for another couple extenders.
27HS ? While it is excellently built, I don't think that's enough weapons to last compared to most rammers or standard 36HS...
Anyways, I'm off going to make my .py for this.
Actually looks pretty good. Is that AGOD on the right-hand wheel, though?
Oh and Starcore. i dont think anyone is mentioning it because they fear you...
But, you can Multi-quote in one post now. Just use the little multiquote button on the top right of each message. :D
And following choosing every post to respond to, you press reply.

Thank you for mentioning.
Didn't kill anyone for me to respond to each one.
I responded as I noticed and moved on. I am not trying to jack up my post count as you can see by my total posts across the years.
It was three separate discussion points and I was moving fast. Bite me.And following choosing every post to respond to, you press reply.
And yes I know how to hit the flipping Reply button. I am not monitoring as every post as it comes in.
Gall, I am Admin for a reason....

I wanted to make something like Vetearn Destroyer, but I ran out of time and had to send Overloaded Orbinaut 4.Same here. After making a custom AI for one of my failed prototypes, I wasn't left with much time (to make a new bot or AI). I ended up making something quick that could use the otherwise wasted AI.py (even if it meant doing a total of 3 battles for testing/optimizing). I may add something to the AI to make it more competitive. That is to say that I'll have the time.
I'm screwed. XD
i finished my entry, i hope i don't get my butt kicked in.Erm, sign ups are closed, aren't they?
No- because he was on holiday at the time of the signups, Click gave him some extra time to post his entry.i finished my entry, i hope i don't get my butt kicked in.Erm, sign ups are closed, aren't they?

#from every hitler rants about _________#Show them what?
GF.........Show them.
OK :redface:No worries, mate. After all, I'm here to help you learn, aren't I? :approve:
Argh I wish it wasn't so.. but I cant AI Blitzkreig the way I want to at this stage so unfortunately im going to have to drop out :rage
Sorry if this caused any problems or put any work to waste..
At least you have a nice 32 entry size now..
Is this still accepting?
SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED.EDIT: ninja'd. And you could just use the "remove post" button
sorry, but even if you send a bot.......Good to see you following the bits on keeping videos in spoilers, mate- just be more careful with your language in future.
