Hopefully Icky can put up a decent fight to Razor Beetle now.

Flipper didn't fire. Twice.

Lol the flipper didn't need to fire. Plus it never went into the smartzones.

Dude it went right on top of where it should be to flip.

You had the choice to AI your own bot. Don't blame the host because your lazy.

Fair point, but the thing is it looks almost like there is no smartzone/smartzone isn't name correctly/controls are named wrong because the flipper didn't fire at all even though playzookis bot when right over it

Even so, it should still fire when there is a robot on top of the flipper. How badly can you place a smartzone?

[martymidget]

You don't AI it yourself you should accept that things like this happen.

Who doesn't put a smartzone in before they send the bot anyway? Since it's a part of the building process, not the AIing, you're lucky you have one in the first place tbh.

[Elementos]

It's not the smartzone placement, it's the .py. It's touchy and it's the same AI line I used for all the flippers in the tournament.  Sometimes the flipper doesn't fire, sometimes it fires when it shouldn't. But the fact of the matter is that Click' Flipper.py is the best flipper AI fie we have.

So when exactly is this tourney going to get rolling again? It's been over 3 weeks since the first round fights.

[Naryar]

apparently someone left.

[cephalopod]

Yeah, it may be worth noting, Elementos, that this has just over 2 weeks left.

[El Chickenado]

well another dead tournament
its a trend now

It's pretty sad that people can't finish their tourneys. I ran BB9, which is a 100+ bot tourney, during my finals, the end of my tennis season, state, and a 4-5 day vacation. Being busy can make things hard but not impossible. I know some people try to make these a little more artistic than I have done with my tournaments. But what it comes down to, is you can make everything look really nice, but if you can't run the tournament through the finals, none of it really matters.

No, it's not. There have almost always been failed tournaments.

Couldn't have put it any better.

Guys, Calm down. I can complete this in a week if I have to. I've just finished all my exams so I took a little break. Don't count this out just yet.

You people doubt my abilities...

[MassimoV]

Well when there's a month break, ya know, gets ya thinking...

[Elementos]

Okay, Round 2 is uploading, when it is up I will edit this post. As I'm on a tighter schedule, editing has become a tad more limited. If the winners could then PM me their choices for the semis, then I can get the rest of the tournament finished and then I'll start doing grudge matches/fantasy matches.

Edit: Video is up.

SPINNER AI!

Rammer.py. The bot was lacking it's potential when I gave it Pusher.py so I must have changed it a forgot to edit the splash :S

i'm not saying it was wrong, but i'd have used pusher.py tbh, as with rammer it keeps flipping. the bot isn't fast enough to be a rammer and it's lacking weapons anyway, so by nature the bot would be a pusher rather than a rammer.
but i didn't ai it so it's my fault owell
