Feel free to make predictions, I've just got a little bit more AI work to do, and then we can kick things off.

Wait, my update has been on the exchange for a while. I posted in the thread just when updates opened. Whatever.
Well, it looks like I may do okay, inertia flippers are good at flipping upwards and behind.

WHY SO MANY FLIPPERS AND POPUPS


The way people were talking it sounded like it would be mostly rammers and VS's.


One of these days I'm going to learn not to try counter-building against the expected common bot types...

Actually you could still have asked for a better opponent (one of the wedgeless, hammerless rammers would be even easier to throw OOTA) but I agree The Remover is in your top 5 best opponents.


But... um... that's not my real bot in that screenshot.  It's just a from-scratch clone--I can tell because the chassis shape is different.  So my real bot... will have... an awesome wedge... and get under you and hit your flipper's weak spot and break it.  Yeah.  That's definitely what will happen. :P

Sorry, I've been kinda busy with university and everything. S'kinda why Mechapocalypse hasn't been doing anything either. I'll try and get them done when I have some spare time, maybe over the weekend if that's okay.

I haven't forgotten about it, it's just that university work and my personal surveillance watchdog (i.e. my girlfriend) have eaten up more or less all of my time, and this tournament has pretty much gone down the toilet as a result. I would like to apologise to everyone who sent bots in for the let-down. I reckon that this can be locked, I've got exams approaching pretty quickly, and I'm not going to be able to finish this even remotely properly...sorry about that.

I'm gonna hold off locking this and putting the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, until you're absolutely sure you won't finish it.  Maybe give it until summer.  Unless you're absolutely sure now.

Can we just Zombi-fy it for the time being? That way other tourneys have the opportunity to start? He could resurrect it in the summer per his request.

Hmm yeah, I didn't think about that this tournament would hold up some of the others.


All right, it's locked.  If NFX finds more time over the summer or something though, I may be persuaded to unlock it (since he didn't officially hit the deadline for completion).
