DRIVE: 2WD Etek w/ Technos
BATTERIES: 3 ants
ARMOR: 3mm Titanium
STRENGTHS: Unusually high armor for a SnS. Also, damage and sweeping power. Also, built by 123
WEAKNESSES: Not the fastest spinup speed. AND WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT USING ANT SAWBLADES ?

WEAPONS: 2 60kg sledgehammers, 1 hidden flamethrower

BATTERIES: 9 ants
ARMOR: 5mm Aluminium (aka fail)
STRENGTHS: Very fast. Might pin pretty well or even toss bots OOTA
WEAKNESSES: The wedge looks pretty bad to be honest. Also relatively low weapon count, and no invertibility.

WEAPONS: 3 large beater bars (it's not like they would do any damage though), 53 razor tips
DRIVE: 2WD NPC Fast w/ Technos
BATTERIES: 3 ants

WEAKNESSES: Exposed wheels (anyone surprised ?), unreliable invertibility


BUILDER: NFX
BOTNAME: Valid Query 3
ROBOT TYPE: Rammer
AI FILE: Rammer.py
WEAPONS: 18 large beater bars, 2 medium beater bars
DRIVE: 4WD NPC Fast w/ Technos
BATTERIES: 9 ants
ARMOR: 5mm Titanium
STRENGTHS: Fast and more durable than the average rammer. Plenty (too much :P) of battery power also.
WEAKNESSES: Will probably spend it's time happily throwing itself OOTA against wedges...


BUILDER: Noodle
BOTNAME: Thing 1/Thing 2 (multibots, both are the same apart from paintjob)
ROBOT TYPE: Wammer
AI FILE: Pinner.py
WEAPONS: 12 razors, 2 Overkill blades
DRIVE: 2WD NPC Fast w/ Technos
BATTERIES: 1 PC545 + 1 ant batt
ARMOR: 3mm Plastic
STRENGTHS: Fast, has a wedge, and razor'd = Best flankers here in overall
WEAKNESSES: Individually fragile and easy to outwedge. Not the best battery setup either.


BUILDER: Pwnator
BOTNAME: F.T.L. (Faster Than Light) (not really)
ROBOT TYPE: Rammer/SnS hybrid

WEAPONS: 6 70kg hammers, 2 spike clubs, 2 iron spikes
DRIVE: 2WD Etek drive w/ Technos
BATTERIES: 2 ants
ARMOR: 5mm Plastic

WEAKNESSES: Untested design. It also could be built better, but Pwn was lazy :P


BUILDER: R1885
BOTNAME: Quick Man V2
ROBOT TYPE: Rammer
AI FILE: Rammer.py
WEAPONS: 7 Vlad Spikes
DRIVE: 4WD Etek (!) w/ 2 Technos and 2 WBC's
BATTERIES: 5 ants
ARMOR: 1mm Plastic
STRENGTHS: Ridiculously fast

ROBOT TYPE: Flamethrower Wammer
AI FILE: EternalFlame.py
WEAPONS: 24 heavy double-sided teeth, 2 flamethrowers
DRIVE: 4WD NPC Fast w/ Hypnos

DRIVE: 4WD NPC Fast w/ Technos
BATTERIES: 4 ants
ARMOR: 5mm Plastic
STRENGTHS: Theorically high DP weapons. Also somehow original
WEAKNESSES: Untested design, relatively low spinup acceleration. IMO it's just a bad ripoff of 123's DPS Generator.

AI FILE: Pinner.py
WEAPONS: 20 razor tips !!
DRIVE: 2WD NPC Fast w/ Hypnos
BATTERIES: 3 ants

Predict away!

[Squirrel_Monkey]

New bot has been sent now :D

[J24]

Doom and Noodle's Bots are AWSEMSAUCE!!!

[JoeBlo]

so did Badnik copy Fotepx or Fotepx copy Badnik ?

anyway donest matter, Pwnator should win via sheer awesome looking :P

[madman3]

Gazea, a SnS multibot  .

[Gazea2]

^What's wrong with that?

@Naryar - Did I send the A.I in the end?

[madman3]

The enemy will just go for one bot, meaning that one will get quickly KO'ed. Then the second one gets creamed.

[Naryar]

New bot has been sent now :D

OK, it is in the showcase now

so did Badnik copy Fotepx or Fotepx copy Badnik ?

anyway donest matter, Pwnator should win via sheer awesome looking :P

None of the two. I don't even think they showcased their bots.

And I agree that Pwn should win... but maybe you would change your mind when your master's bot will be on here.

@Naryar - Did I send the A.I in the end?

IIRC yes. I'll PM you if I get upon AI-ing troubles.

The enemy will just go for one bot, meaning that one will get quickly KO'ed. Then the second one gets creamed.

That probably will happen, but these are Melty Brain SnS. They CAN move while spinning and rip off wheels.

[J24]

Gazea, Pwn, and S_M's bots are also cool
(multibots FTW)

[madman3]

Oh. Good thing, I was thinking, "If that's a Melty Brainer it's fine :)".

[J24]

What's the difference between FBS.py and MeltyBrain.py?

[Naryar]

What's the difference between FBS.py and MeltyBrain.py?

MeltyBrain.py does not exist, FBS.py does.

FBS.py => acting like the IRL beetleweight Melty Brain. Just google it.

[NFX]

Favourite bot has got to be Pwn's, followed closely by Badnik's. Gazea's, unfortunately, I have dire predictions for. If you've got a multibot, you generally don't want an SnS part, 'cause it'll just sit there spinning while its teammate gets trashed.

Oddly, I'm more concerned about the ramming bots than anything else, specifically Badnik and FOTEPX. I can only hope the gutrippers draw them before I do.

[Gazea2]

Gazea's, unfortunately, I have dire predictions for. If you've got a multibot, you generally don't want an SnS part, 'cause it'll just sit there spinning while its teammate gets trashed.

2 things:

1) It did fine in testing and beat Nar AI heavyweights.
2) I don't build in DSL much. :P

[NFX]

Oh, they have Melty Brain. I didn't catch that part on my read-through. It might do reasonably well, in that case. =P

[JoeBlo]

if they have a fast/ aggressive transitional speed they should do well, if not, not so much..

[Noodle]

Prediction: I'm screwed.

A lot of my entry's success is going to hinge on the skirts, which NAR said were bad.

[Badnik96]

so did Badnik copy Fotepx or Fotepx copy Badnik ?

Neither, I just rushed thru my entry. IMHO it's better than FOTEPX's though. I like Noodle's bot though.

[FOTEPX]

so did Badnik copy Fotepx or Fotepx copy Badnik ?

Neither, I just rushed thru my entry. IMHO it's better than FOTEPX's though. I like Noodle's bot though.

To be honest, I forgot I even had entered this. Is it OK if I send a new bot, Nary?

I WANT DIAMOND CUTTER 7 TO OWN SOME ASS 

[Badnik96]

Remember the only static weapons rule :P
