My match made me laugh to say the least but none the less it was quite enjoyable.

Oh Nary, it just means you have bad luck. Doesn't make you a bad builder.

And 40757, I wasn't trolling? But Blue Snappers are for-the-lose.

Can't wait for the feature showdown of round one... >:)

Sage, thanks for the great AI on my bots (probably was easy... but thanks anyways)

B&B performed as designed... Though it looked like they got in each others way. I put them together to work with each other. They Slowly attack without causing much damage to each other. I didn't think I would say this, but given the circumstance of the arena, I am glad I used RAD motors instead of something faster like HPzs. Keeps them out of trouble I think.

I think most of us are wishing we made pushers now for this tourney.

As for the starting positions, it's the only way I could think of to get this arena to work the way it did. Especially having the fire grates where they are...

Perhaps you could of made the fire grates closer to each other, perhaps even interjoining. Perhaps a little smaller too, so there's more space for the corners to be used as starting points.
Maybe raising the grates again would help, as well.

Ofcourse it's a bit late now, but eh.

You were who? I'm looking to see what happened.

I was 1nsane.

The videos are uploaded as replays, so you need RA3 in order to watch them.

Just try not to laugh too hard, ok?

Edit: OH and its Conquercup Lite #9. #10 will be this sunday.

Wish I could have entered this tourney.:-(

You got lucky on that one, I would have won if BoneBreaker wasn't counted out.

Yea i know i was thinking the exact same thing. That and i really should've put more time into my bots.

Teacat: Welcome to gametechmods!

Could someone explain what those 4 question marks actually do. 1 seems to zap lazors at another bot, 1 didn't get pressed, and Idk what the others did. Could anyone explain please?

It looks like two of the ones in opposite corners zap one of the enemy bots with electricity, which disables them for a brief time (so they're actually GOOD for you to activate). Another one makes a barrel fall down in the middle of the arena, and like you said the fourth one was never triggered. But since there are two electricity hazards, the fourth might be another barrel.

I'm still not sure what JoeBlo's RY3NO is supposed to do. Are the flippers on the bottom designed to add force to its flips? Or is it supposed to jump over other bots and hit their tops?

trumpetguy · « **Reply #71 on:** November 20, 2009, 10:54:54 PM »

He said to dodge HS, but I think they're too strong, Joe.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #72 on:** November 20, 2009, 10:55:34 PM »

RY3NO is designed to dodge other robots attacking it from the side or rear using smart zones to tell it what combination to fire the flippers below, it can perform barrel rolls and forward flips successfully from a still (so not moving)

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #73 on:** November 20, 2009, 11:02:10 PM »

Ahh... clever idea. The only problem is, you have to land again after you launch yourself. Unless you launch yourself really really far, the other bot is going to be there waiting for you to come down. If it wasn't for that little issue it would be a good strategy.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #74 on:** November 20, 2009, 11:09:40 PM »

it works fairly well but with one large problem.....

like a lot of wonderful ideas I have this one doesn't fair to well in non 1 on 1 situations..

it seemed that it would dodge one of your robots and in the meantime jump right into the other one

another problem is if its "flight path" is disrupted it usually lands butter side down meaning its open to more attacks

still fun to play with though :-D

Sage · « **Reply #75 on:** November 20, 2009, 11:11:41 PM »

On the topic of the 4 question marks-

1. Lightning strike, hurts & temporarily immobolizes nearest bot (could be your teammate!). Watch out!

2. Fireball, hurts nearest bot and lights it on fire (again, could be your own teammate!).

3. Object drop, drops a damaging object in the middle of the arena. Could be a barrel, a fridge, a grape crate, or 4 cinder blocks (randomly chosen).

4. Phantom wall, allows bots to pass through the wall as if it wasn't there. (Turns green)

Hope that clears things up!

Somebody · « **Reply #76 on:** November 21, 2009, 08:01:23 AM »

Thanks Sage. I hope I don't hit the phantom wall one. :shock:

RedSawn · « **Reply #77 on:** November 22, 2009, 02:48:38 PM »

I think those question marks gave me a reason to watch every fight for once.

Not right now though.. homework. :|

Naryar · « **Reply #78 on:** November 23, 2009, 04:59:50 AM »

So the winner of the match is half decided by luck... great.

System32 · « **Reply #79 on:** November 23, 2009, 02:14:29 PM »

Not really, the hazards ain't that damaging. The winner is decided by pushing power, as in: Who ever pushes a bot into the corner is the loser!
