If more than one bot is allowed per person, I am sending something I came up with this weekend. Raw and un-optimized but fun to watch in action!

No, just one bot per person.

If you'd like though, you can still switch out your current entry for your new one. You've got about 2 hours left.

Edit: Nevermind just saw your email. Looks like you don't want to switch.

Doubleedit: That goes for the rest of you too... TWO HOURS UNTIL SIGNUPS CLOSE!

Nature of the tourney changes the type of bot that might do well. 30 second survive with minimal damage is a very different way to build. So a durable bot from earlier times might do very well this time around.

All right, signups are officially closed.

I'll give any last-minute entries a couple minutes leeway, to account for imprecision in different clocks. (Sorry Somebody.) Say 15 minutes or so. But signups are officially closed beyond that.

What about inf, who just got back from a 2 year-ish hiatus

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #108 on:** August 01, 2011, 03:01:05 AM »

Meh... fine, inf can have 2 more days. One for each year he was gone. More if he AI's the bot himself. I'm feeling generous. Or maybe just tired.

Tired or not, it would be cool to have him in.

But NO MORE EXCEPTIONS. Everyone else who wanted in, got in, I think.

I didn't. Just couldn't get a bot that didn't suck/have vicious AGOD >.>

Wish I could've entered something, but nothing was good enough for my taste. Just couldn't get an actual prototype of my idea* that was any good.

*A wedgy de-weaponer with enclosed wheels

So I was at work today thinking about how poorly my bot is going to perform... when I came up with a great idea that would have been easy to implement.

Somebody · « **Reply #115 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:58:20 PM »

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?

Extra Tires on Axle Mounts seemed the best "sneaky tactics" I have heard discussed so far.

Yup Starcore got it. Had 50 extra KG that I didn't use very well, but I could've just done that.

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

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.

Recommendations are welcome for future improvement.
