Moonlight Slaughter In E Flat = Victory In A Box. =D

Not entirely sure I'll get through the Wildcard, to be honest. Opponents aren't quite as tall as I'd thought they would be.

1) Badnik's entry should have been called "Will it Blend?" :P
2) I don't think I could have got a worse draw.

Regardless this shall be very fun to watch. Oh and it's 3 a's.

Post by: NFX on April 18, 2011, 01:34:35 PM
Well, Vert seems to think it'll be me, I on the other hand reckon Badnik stands a pretty good chance. I think your weapons have Normals, so they'll only do damage from the front. If someone gets it from the side, then I think it could be gone pretty quick.

Could be damaging, but you can only attack from the front, with three other unprotected sides. I have 360 degrees of offense and defense, which is a pretty good thing if you're in a rumble like we are. =]

Don't you remember the grand final of series 7? the only damage taken from storm 2 was self-inflicted, when he rammed into the wall, if storm 2 was more careful, he would of been series 7 champion.   plus,    Rammer>Spinner

Good lord, that splash is awesome.

Post by: Jack Daniels on April 18, 2011, 04:50:34 PM
Analysis:

Hammer and the Cheese: Is that a burst I see peeking through there? Hammerbot and a SNS. These two misfits are going to cause quite a ruckus.

Twincycle of Ouchies: Soooo cool! Insane rear protection. Gonna be a bumpy ride though, would have gone with doubled beater bars instead of small teeth.

Wheel Bug: Gonna be fun to watch get destroyed. Brittle legs, I wonder if they will twitch on the arena floor like a real bug.

Moonlight Slaughter in E Flat: Amazing! I don't see how it will do much damage... but Amazing! *drool*

Corn Mauler: Slow... Top Heavy... no Srimech... Not as effective as you guys think. :P

Dozer: My fav bot of the tourney. It is so mean looking!

Vroom2011: Dark horse pick. I think this bot is more dangerous than it looks.

The Cake is a Fake: I hope that is a max-steel cake... because it looks delish!

Pummel Bass: You installed the kick hammer! <3 This one is going to seriously kick ass.

Washing Machine: SFTW... and there is nothing wrong with that!

Bi-Plane: Aw, so cute. Like little toys. Watching 'em zoom around will be a blast.

SnowBlown: That thing looks mean and effective. Looks like it is invertible too... very dangerous.

Chair of Pure Evil: Why do I have a funny feeling Scrap actually owns a chair like this.

Attention Shoppers: So awesome! Too bad the flippers will be too weak against SHW bots. We gotta film this thing pwning some beetleweights or something.

Drillinator: VICIOUS! Thank god it doesnt have metal hinge wedges, or I would say it is unstoppable. Love the use of plows!

Wild Card Entries:

CBBOD: Wolf has been dying to enter a tourney, so he built a rather uninspired brown box with spikes. Thankfully he used less than effective weapons... so he wont be rep-raped later.

Lapshade of Doom: I don't want that damn thing on my lap! looks like it would hurt! :P  Looks pretty mean, I think it will win the wildcard.

CFAMS: NICE! Glad to see that Badnik figured out something to build. Really imaginative too!

Air-Pain 1.5: Hard to see the weapons on this... or the landing gear... or... ??? how the heck does it fight? Can't wait to see it in action.



Wild Card Winner: La"M"pshade of Doom

Main Bracket Winner: Pummel Bass

Loser Bracket Winner: Drillinator

Dark Horse: Vroom2011

La"M"pshade of Doom

Well spotted, JD. Was that a typo in the splash, or me not paying attention when naming it?
Title: Re: Our Replicas Are Different Splash, vids and stuff.
Post by: yoda9726 on April 18, 2011, 05:33:50 PM
Analysis:

Hammer and the Cheese: The master of froonium arrives.  The cheese, a flipper. Ordinarily a bad choice for the combat arena, but in this particular tourney, could fair well.  Hammer: An interesting case, It's a literal hammer, that looks like a SNS, but is actually a rammer. 
 
Twicycle of Ouchies: Not effective at all, but with a name like Twicycle of Ouchies, who cares?
 
Wheel Bug: I think this is my favorite, so hard to choose in this one.  Insanely cool.
 
Moonlight Slaughter in E Flat: Another favorite.  Looks great, sounds that way too.  It makes it's own music.  Even the component which does so (a servo with modified sound) fits the theme.  Makes me think of one of those old feeder pianos.
 
Corn Mauler: Award for THE most empty space goes here. I hope it gets flipped so you guys can see all the work Jack put in under the chassis.  The weapon looks scary, but in action, a bit less than you might think.
 
Dozer: Insanely fast for a bot that has treads...That's because it's tricky.  Great work.
 
Vroom2011: Yet another favorite.  Great workmanship.
 
The Cake is a Fake: Complete with a candle on top.  You can't go wrong with cake.
 
Pummel Bass: I still wish the kick pedal worked, but still, great looking bot and one of the heavy damagers.  will go far.

Washing Machine: Not damaging, Not invertible, but fun.  I forgot the flames in the splash, but they're there.  Looks funny as heck when there's smoke coming out.
 
Bi-Plane: The first (and second) plane of the tourney.  I love it when they get knocked in the air.   

SnowBlown: Where was this thing when my driveway was frozen over?!?!?!  Scary, scary scary.

Chair of Pure Evil: Too bad 'bout not getting your update in.  On the brightside, this might give us some hilarious moments.
 
Attention Shoppers: Another flipper in the combat zone.  Again, in this tourney, might fair decently.  I still love the lazy wheel. 

Drillinator: This thing is amazing.  If it stays on it's wheels, it should do great.   

Wild Card Entries:

CBBOD: Award for the most simplistic design goes here.  Suprisingly slow for 4WD,
 
Lapshade of Doom: (Typo NOT mine, btw) Another heavy hitter.  I almost want to make a lamp like this IRL.
 
CFAMS: No thank you, a Metal smoothie doesn't sound good at all.  The bot, however is cool.  Unfortunately, it's pretty slow, which hurts it.
 
Air-Pain 1.5: Plane number 3.  Gigantic wingspan, flames goin backwards, LOVE IT.
 
All in all, You guys did great.  This was exactly what I was hoping for in this.  Wildcard rumble is filmed, and will be edited when I get home from work tonight.  After that, i'm gonna try for an average of a video a day.  See you guys soon.

Could be damaging, but you can only attack from the front, with three other unprotected sides. I have 360 degrees of offense and defense, which is a pretty good thing if you're in a rumble like we are. =]

thanks for the positive comments on Dozer  :gawe:

The best looking robots for me are Wheelbug,  Corn Mauler (inspired me to build mine), Vroom2011, and ofcourse Air-Pain 1.5

Pumble Bass and SnowBlown are the most effective but JDs bot might do some serious damage as well. Also I`m looking forward to see Ming Dienasty Drillinator in action

It might have been the N-24's low Grip that let you down. Valid Query 4 had Technos, which were MUCH faster on the same motors. Grip acts as a Speed multiplier, so more Grip = more Speed, as long as you have the same motors.

Aw man, Kill343 is not my ideal matchup.  I won't be able to get under him head-on, and Wheel Bug can't self right.


Good fights so far.  090901's Hammer is pretty cool, and I see a glaring weakness in Snow Blown: if it gets stuck on its side, a bot could take off the wheels.  Snow Blown will go far but that whole getting stuck on side thing might let it down before the finals.


I like the pictures you put at the end of the videos... but you're going to find a picture of a squished wheel bug if I lose, aren't you? :frown:

Click, you are seriously overestimating the flipping ability of the shopping cart... Because of the gimp wheel, it doesn't even drive straight!


Oh.  Maybe I can get under it from the side then.  :mrgreen:


Maybe you should've left the gimp wheel unpowered?

I can't even remember if I did or not... I do know that I wired it in such a way that it will effect it the least, but I also know that it does not drive perfectly straight.

I like the pictures you put at the end of the videos... but you're going to find a picture of a squished wheel bug if I lose, aren't you? :frown:

Nahhh...squished is too hard to tell what it is.  But I do have something for it when and if you lose. 
 
The lazy wheel on Attention Shoppers is only powered for a turn, but it's still enough to muck up it's driving on the straight shot.

Guess that works too.  The rest of the vids should be no problem unless I run out of local band music, which shouldn't happen.  And if anyone wonders, no it's not all killer strangelet.  They're just the first one I had handy.

To be honest, I don't know.  It's counter intuitive to what I would expect to be happening.  I'm no AI god, and I fully admit that, but to the best of my knowledge there's no part of the bindings that control which way it goes.  So, my best guess is it's just one of those things?

I was not expecting the loser's bracket to be arranged that way.


The bots from round 2 should be slotted in reverse order, bottom to top, so you don't get rematches happening too early in the tournament.  As it happened, there was only one early rematch (S_M vs. freeziez) but round 2 of the loser's bracket could easily have ended up being a repeat of the winner's bracket round 1.


I do all sorts of fancy stuff in the BBEANS bracket but just alternating top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top is usually good enough.


What's done is done though, I'm not requesting that you redo all the matches.  Just for future reference.  Unless you want there to be a lot of rematches.

Title: Re: Our Replicas Are Different Splash, vids and stuff.
Post by: yoda9726 on May 28, 2011, 12:26:09 AM
Duly noted.  I had thought of randomizing it, but something in my mind was telling me it would cause an uproar.  Don't ask me why I thought that, because I honestly have no idea.  Looking back it doesn't make sense anymore.
 
 
That being said, both craaig vs mike and kill vs dragonfire are up on first page.  craaig vs mike made for a long, yet what I consider to be entertaining match.

You gave a replica of a car sledgehammers. Go figure.

Freeziez and SD are the only people who made replicas or real life things without using weaponry.

If you're even debating this, let's point out the SNS marketed as a 'Hammer', triangular chassis'd flipper passed off as 'Cheese', and the box with wheels and a million spikes named a 'Cardboard Box'.

How the Sheckder has this occurred over a joke entry, that wasn't intended to win anything, that has the biggest chassis in the world and a few spinning teeth. It's actually physically beyond me.

I was mainly referring to DF and NFX. Do you see a spinning ring on most cakes? NO Are static metal parts used on F1 cars? YES
All I'm saying is people were adding stuff to "give my bot a fighting chance" rather than to "make by bot look better".

But what else could the ring around the cake look like other than hypno teeth? Craaig just wanted to make something oversized and cool-looking.

And dude, simmer down, you still didn't have that great of a bot.

I think the weapons were intended to be the plate the cake was sitting on.

What colour is the ring? Does the ring have a strange kind of bumpy shape?
I actually added those teeth to make it look more like the original, or I would've used a decent weapon, like sledgehammers. (lol)

I was pointing out that lots of entrants simply added weapons for the sake of weaponry. The ring didn't have to spin, then I would cave no issue with those hypno teeth as they would clearly be for decoration. I am neither saying saying it was unfair, not complaining, just pointing out why I myself have noted.

I NEED CAPITALS TO MAKE A POINT

Although you're sort of right, it would probably be harder for the bot to move if it was static.

SOrry, that's just my sticky shift key. It sometimes capitalises the first two letters.


Getting B.O.T, I'm still rooting for the cake.

You created the "controversy" seeing as I just said winning was about adding weapons to bots. I made no negative comments about it being "unfair". I don't particularly want to argue but also so not wish this to end with everyone thinking I created some big arguement because of my comments.

To be honest, there was actually a lot less 'weapon spamming' in this than i thought there would be.  And most of the weapons CAN be justified with a bit of creativity, Pummel Bass's 'soundwaves', Lapshades could be seen as tassles etc.  All in all, they stayed within both the rules AND the spirit of this.  This was about making a bot that looked either like it was something else, or was a bot made from something else.   Think of an IRL bot that uses, say, a television as it's chassis.  They're going to add weapons to it and such like that. Hence, why "Oh hai, robots" in the promo vid had that spinner on top.
 
The only bot in this that I feel kinda broke the spirit was the cardboard box.  I just feel he took a rammer, popped a skin on it and called it a day. 
 
 
Anywho's, expect the Grand Finals to be up within a day or two.  And, depending on how long it takes, I might have a special little extra thing for you guys, for a few extra laughs.

"The willow knows what the storm does not...The power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it"
 
Is it true? Can the insanely tough The Cake is a Fake outlive the high damage of Pummel Bass? We're finding out.
 
Grand Final posted.

The final finals video is now uploaded.  Congratulations to our ORAD champion...
 

That means, Our Replicas Are Different is now complete.  Great work to all involved.  We took a bunch of bots that probably would've been considered SFTWs in any other tournament, and made a tourney out of them.  And, in my humble opinion, had a lot of fun doing it. 
 
The extra special additional video is also up now.  Details in the spoiler tab in first message.  I'm off to make the awards thread.
