The new Fury used less extenders and an extremely airtight chassis (the old Fury's chassis wasn't airtight enough :P):



I cloned it 5 months ago and it took me a lot of attempts to get the chassis right.
Clash Cubes 1 - Grey Matter (Runner-Up)
King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)

I also removed the 2nd plow and the bottom caster armor from the one that was used for this tourny. I think you would agree Pwnator, not an easy task to replicate or out do the design.
 
As to the more agressive AI: Was carefully tuning the AI line for maximum turn rate without overturn, minimum hazard avoidance taking into account chassis size, testing turning in vs turning out vs both spin clockwise or counter clockwise since it is an asymetrical design, considering and testing the 3 maces per extender on one spinner vs the other, reviewing various behavioral responses of Omni vs Omni Ram vs some of the other choices available vs writing new AI for the right blend of charge, pull back, clinch, and deciding if it was worth it to track the weapons numbers for switching to Pusher AI (rarely worth worrying about).

That is merely an impression because people care more about efficiency in stock.

But mr. extreme efficiency ? Real extreme efficiency is heck, honestly.

First you need to know absolutely everything about the game and have mastered writing py's, then you need to fine-tune the whole bot (plus make it near perfectly symmetrical with BFE), try it against numerous bots, then rebuild it and repeat the procedure until it can beat a maximum of other bots, and all that while tweaking finely a custom py and the bindings made for the bot.

No he doesn't... but he's probably the closest example to a pure efficiency builder we have on these forums.

Who me or Naryar or were you referring to someome else?
 
I admit to doing most all of that list except BFE (I refuse to do that) and I don't know everything about the game. Locked engine makes it a game of reverse engineering and there are many nooks and crannies that have been discovered over the years.

Cheap wins are reserved to any weight class unbalance, fighting a flipper in the combat arena and crawlers.

Also making a replica look totally unlike what it should be to compete.

Nice job, Ounce and Pwn...
Thanks to you too, Pys, for letting me beta test using your bot.
Trov was imperative(as usual).
Special appreciation to Sage,
who...

 
Input is appreciated. :)

-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...
