Honestly Yayoi, I like you on this forums much more than many of the other members here (not saying names!) Just because I didn't have time to enter doesn't mean im not following this tourney. Obviously some things are builder's error, such as New Catfish 3, which Clickbeetle mentioned.

ex. New Catfish 3 weighs about 235 kilos, which is enough for grannies. With grannies, it drives as straight as a bullet. These things happen and are no use getting worked up about. You need to hold your chin up and realize that there are people like Inf who are freakishly respected members, and he had NEVER had a tourney (to my knowledge) until just a little while ago.

Don't give up
Please don't leave
Realize that:
your life isn't a pithole of despair.
You are not worthless
You are creative
You are a good bot builder
You are a well-known builder
You deserve to give yourself so much more credit than you do for the things you are accomplishing.

I wouldn't call a total of two AI mishaps "critical issues". Carry on.

CC1...

Ianh05's bot didnt SnS spin correctly
Russian Roulette's bot I think was intended to SnS spin

that was 2 mishaps from me in my first tournament and so one really cared, the only ever AI complaint I got was from someone (not naming names lol) whose bot was AI'd correctly but lost :P

not forgetting.... as you can see from the last 3 pages (at least) most regular members on here do care about you :-D

OMG! O_O Don't go Yayoi! You were my first person who I sended my first ''battle'' bot.
ps. You are good buddy.

Yayoi so you made a mistake who cares this tournament in my opinion has been pretty good despite that minor mistake. Besides you cant leave it is not fair to just give up and leave when all the builders have put as much time as they have into their bots. There is no reason to leave GTM because of one minor mistake everyone makes mistakes EVERYONE.

Important stuff is bolded.

Toxin Ant looked fine in its first battle to me. The AI in any tourney is far from perfect. Look at BBEANS. It's the premier tournament, and there have been bots losing because of AI deficiencies before (HazCon vs Enfilad3, first match).

Also, what S32 said seems correct.

I counted about 3 spins like a thwacker from the eliminator round yesterday.
Cant remember.R0B0,Ya wrong.For proof,Look before the vile finisher punt ram and the missed one.

LRA2, shut up please...
Always like handy LRA2 to make a chap feel 100% better.

The spins are from only when it is inverted. From my point of view, one of two things would cause this:

1. The robot not being completely invertible, in which case only one wheel would contact the ground at a time and cause a spin.

or

2. The robot's centre of gravity changing when inverted. This is the toughest part about building a 2WD rammer for me. For a bot like Toxin Ant especially, when it is fllipped and still unstable, a heavier side may touch down first, causing it to spin before it stabilizes.

Neither of these problems would have to do with the AI.

You should remove and replace the wheels, but rotate them first.

Heat A Round 2 is finally up.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #149 on:** September 22, 2009, 06:18:01 AM »

good to see you back into Taka :-D

Naryar · « **Reply #150 on:** September 22, 2009, 06:25:52 AM »

Wasn't THAT boring... OK, Robotic Worm pulled out a Mr Claws, Toxin Ant failed but was still fast paced, but Inf's bot and the SnS did pretty decent.

Two stars for me.

Edit: I still love the "Fight!" at the start of the match, i'm probably going to embed this in NAR AI v2.

Duck's bot can't move online either. :P

GameKing3 · « **Reply #156 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:06:50 PM »

... and my bot proves its suckyness yet again

MrRoboto75 · « **Reply #158 on:** September 22, 2009, 08:02:34 PM »

Mine was suckyer...

Wooden Wonder's run was fun. I enjoyed myself. Can't wait for the next one. (if there will be.)

Its also good to see the event admin. bounced back.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #159 on:** September 22, 2009, 08:34:28 PM »

eh mine was probably the worst one but it was just fun, SnS Flamethrowers look cool :-D but then R1885 has to ruin the fun by killing it
