Well, I thought I mind as well get this going. No point in waiting any longer.
ROBOTS AT WAR SECOND SEASON
RULES
If you don\'t already know, RAW2 is going to be STOCK 800kg MULTIBOT (two bots per person).
Of course, the general rules from BBEANS apply.
3:00 minute matches.
Each bot may weigh NO MORE than 400 kgs. (Yes, your bot can be 399.9 kgs.)
The entry limit will be 32 ENTRANTS. That means 64 bots. HOWEVER, if you so desire, you may team up with someone and only use one space for two people. This means each person makes a bot and they team up (much like the Tag Team Challenge). You may only team up with someone AFTER 32 people have signed up. This means one of you have to be in the original 32 entrants and someone that didn\'t get in on time may ask if someone will let them be their partner. If this is confusing, just ask in your post.
ARENA
It\'s a surprise. Unlike most tournaments, you won\'t know the arena or it\'s hazards until everyone has their bots in. Fun, right?
RUMBLE
So now you might be wondering, how in the world will a rumble work? Pretty simple. The builder will choose one of his two bots to compete in the rumble. So instead of multibots, you have 4 400kg bots attacking each other.[/color]
PRIZES
What, winning isn\'t enough? Kidding.
Champion will receive all three maces. Runner up gets silver and bronze, Rumble champion gets the bronze one. (credit to clickbeetle for compiling the gold mace when my compiler wasn\'t working).

Name in green if bots are sent.
BOTS MUST BE IN BY SEPTEMBER 20th!
-
WOW.... I am definately signing up for this one... even if it is stock...
-
I'll enter!!
Edit: anyone wanna be my partner?
-
sounds good, I will like to enter, and Natef, I can be your partner if needed
-
Ok
-
I`m in.
-
I'll enter perhaps.
-
Stock?
gheeeeyyyyy
-
Guys read the fine print. no partners until AFTER the sign ups.
-
Since its technically HW, I'll give it a try. Multi-bot will be a different experience for me...
-
I'm in.
-
I will want to enter. Don't have bots ready yet, but if need be I'll just send in a couple of my old MW's that work well as a team.
ARENA
It's a surprise. Unlike most tournaments, you won't know the arena or it's hazards until everyone has their bots in. Fun, right?
Aw, man! I was hoping to find out what the arena was, so I could know if a Symbiote-type strategy had any chance of working. But now it's just too risky.
At least I have other ideas. Charybdis and Scylla work well as a team...
And yes, I will admit that keeping the arena a secret does make things interesting.
-
You know im in :]
-
hmm,interesting,Im in,I have a decent MW I can split in 2..now I have to think of a weapon for the new one
-
I will join.
-
I am in! This should be fun!
-
I'm in for this... I'll try developing a couple MWs that actually work together.
-
Infinite Inertia
-
I got 2 bots up my sleeve that have been waiting to debut.
-
I am in.
And traditionally a pair of Pop ups are one of the best combos since they have a hard time hurting each other. Or you can do like ACAMS and I did and have one partner regularly eat the other trying in trying to get to the foes.
Starcore
-
Mine are rammers and surprisingly very maneuverable and are armed with LOTS of irons.
-
add me in this one :-D
-
Sign me up, Sage
-
Ditto. I got a juggler coming in. Next one will be a new bot. :D
-
Wait, stock? DAM.
I'll give this a miss.
-
Sign me up Scotty! :D
-
I'll enter! Prepare to feel my wrath! HAHA!
EDIT: Also, so you have 2 different bots in which you can choose which one fights or you have 2 different bots that fight together against two others? Sorry for my stupidity.
-
I shall get my revenge from RAW1! (that means sing me up too)
-
I'll enter. Cononant Shall Redeem himself!
-
I got a couple new bots in the works.
-
Duh, I'll sign up. My best tourney run so far! =P
-
Me sgin up.
-
I have a killer new bot that should stand a chance here. I'm in.
-
Leaning on the fence about this.....
-
Im in!!!
-
I am defiantly in.
-
Stock... :(
-
This will be awesome!
-
I'm confused, is this two Middleweights? or two Heavyweights?
-
2 MWs acting as a HW Multibot.
-
I'm confused, is this two Middleweights? or two Heavyweights?
two middle weights. an 800kg multibot means two 400kg bots. in ra2, 400kg is technically a HW, but its pretty much a mw.
-
I'l enter, but do I enter 2 of the same bot, 2 different ones or either.
-
U guys know me, I like MB
Im in :gunz:
-
I'l enter, but do I enter 2 of the same bot, 2 different ones or either.
Your choice.
-
Alright I'm in.
-
ACAMS! Roboshark! get your butts on that list!
-
Mind if I join in this? If you would like Robo and Acams instead, i can pass for them. They are better builders than I.
-

no they are too late. of course you can enter.
-
Don't forget that one or more of the people that have signed up might back out or fail to enter a suitable robot when it comes time. Would be good to have ACAMS and/or Roboshark be ready to fill in if they notice and want to join in before the bot submission deadline.
I would suggest at times it makes sense to send a PM to veterans like ACAMS (or even myself) to grab their attention about a tournament people would like to have enter. It is easy to miss a thread for a time then feel you are too late to join in. A friendly PM can make all the difference.
Starcore
-
Yea I have a feeling a couple of people on that list won't be here in a month probably.
-
well I got one bot ready,almost done with the other bot
-
I don't know if someone needs it, i have a MW flipper bot, it's slow and deals 0 damage, but it has a quite good flipping power, If you're such a desperate man just tell me.
-
I am going to say that no one will probably want it because flippers that don't do any damage are not very effective because a lot of bots are invertable. The other main reason is because in a multi bot competition flippers are not usually that effective.

i had to expect that, you know, i'm not an expert.
What do you think about this instead?
(the spikes are mounted on tribars)

Edit: considering that i already have both bots ready i'll sign up for this (obviously if it's still possible)
-
Actually, depending on the arena, flippers can be very effective.
Even if there's no flip-out zone, on a multibot team flippers could still be effective. For example: use a flipper and a powerful VS; the flipper gets under a bot and flips it, and while the bot is tumbling around off balance or trying to self-right, the VS can come in and start kicking it around without needing to worry about getting under a wedge.
And I seriously doubt that everyone on the list on page 1 will actually submit bots in time. Whether or not you get in the tournament will all come down to when Sage accepts entries.
-
If no one's there yet, I'd like to sign up in the 32nd space please :)
-
If you need the space sage and Infinite agrees, I think we deserve another go at the Rolo/Spyguy team.
-
I was wrong about the flipper/multi bot combo sorry for making that very bold statement based on only my personal experience with multi bot flippers. Thanks for correcting me click.
-
DAM,I change my mind and R0B0 has the last spot.
-
Phew...
-
DAM,I change my mind and R0B0 has the last spot.
Well, maybe someone will let you be their partner.
-
Well, maybe someone will let you be their partner.
If I knew what his bot would be, I'd think about it. Then again, I'm actually going for (and feeling I have a chance of getting) the highest prize.
-
SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED.
If you are not on the list and really want to compete, post your name and hope someone will agree to be your partner. You an ask certain people if you want.
As for bots, spend this week building and tweaking and perfecting and then NEXT week you may send them. If you have extra time or already have your bots done, spend this week AIing your bots. This will hep me out a ton and make the tourney start much faster. It's really not hard, but I will do it for you if you feel you can't AI your own bot.
Thanks.
-
Hmm,I gotta work on a good HS.
-
Heh, sooner than I thought. I better hurry.
-
I'll be anybodies partner if I like their bot (I'm picky). I'll be using my bot Seism 16 (It's entered in Doomed bots).
-
Wait, why can't we have one 500 kg bot and one 300 kg bot?
-
or 4 250kg bots?
-
Wait, why can't we have one 500 kg bot and one 300 kg bot?
Because then someone could just make a 700kg HS and a chassis with wheels and there's a good chance the HS would rape everything.
or 4 250kg bots?
You're an idiot for even asking that.
-
Personally, I think a better rule would be that a robot cannot exceed 60% of the total weight (480 kg). This way, there's a little more strategy involved (do I make one big bot and one little one? Or do I make two balanced ones?) and I think that it would cut down on the number of "duplicate" multibots (both are the same).
-
Well,my bots are done now I have to wait.
-
Might have to backout on this one, moving to college I seemed to lose my RA2 cd.
-

You have built a lot of stuff... Do you have a couple of middleweights that you think might work well together? Would be a shame to lose a builder of your calibur in the tourney.
-
Sage or Inf might have a few of my bots, but unfortunatly I didn't bring my computer from home so I have nothing RA2 related on my new laptop.
-
Might have to backout on this one, moving to college I seemed to lose my RA2 cd.
If you have any installed copy of RA2 to work from you can put on a USB stick or Burn to CD etc and put on other PCs as needed or even run from USB.
As to needing the CD to run RA2 as I recall the 1.3 patch on the RA2 Webpage made it so you didn't need the CD any more to run.
http://www.robotarena.com/files/RA2_Patch_V13.exe
Though my memory may be failing on some of this...
Starcore
-
You can download RA2 from S32's sig.
-
I'll be anyone's partner,then i'm open.
-
Im really struglging here! I can seem to be able to make adecent MW at all, and I have decided to not enter Minesweeper in a 3rd tournament in a row!
-

So your suffering from builders block. My advice would be to just take a break off from the game for a day or so, and then come back and see if you can come up with something.
-
I just go online or showcases to get ideas.
-
This tournament I'ma build some wierd sh**, maybe not too odd but some originality. VeXeD, Layziee, TuniT II, ZodiaK, Bounty Hunter and Blah have all failed me miserably, maybe something out of the ordinary will do some good. They all have done good in testing and seem quite dangerous (some actually recieving Most Fearsome Bot) but haven't gone far.
-
Hey guys, just realized something. It's not fair for me to know the arena and you guys not.
So for a compromise, I'll tell you the things that will influence your bot building.
First, the arena will have low walls, near the same height as the BBEANS arena V2.
There will be no hazard in the middle.
The starting points are like the Clawtop arena: you have to turn around.
I think that about covers it.
-
Thanks for letting us know although it doesn't really effect what i am building its still good to know thanks again.
-

You shouldn't have said that, now everyone will invert their bot's forward heading
-
You shouldn't have said that, now everyone will invert their bot's forward heading
Too bad the AI don't know that :P
-
yeah the heading will do nothing when AId those smart little AI drivers :P its like when LiNcK had inverted controls wired and the AI knew the right way so the bot would drive backwards lol
-
wow...that is smart....
-
Actually, Mark is right because all you need to do is reverse the actual bot heading (and depending on the bot, maybe reverse the direction that the AI thinks is the front).
-
Yes but that's cheating.
NEW RULE:
NO reversing of the heading to try and be cheap and cheat.
-
GK, I havent touched the game in almost a week until yesterday and today... My head is empty and I want to build something different than HS, but all other bot types fail on me....
-
My DSL isn't working :-(

Good thing it's a stock tournament then :D

...so?

But the good thing is I still have my entry!
-
This is stock...
-
This is stock...
I was referring to my stock bots, I forgot to refer to them as 'stock robots'.
-
I just want you all to know I'm working on something a little... different from my usual stuff. Just wait and see, you will all know soon enough.
-
Yes but that's cheating.
NEW RULE:
NO reversing of the heading to try and be cheap and cheat.
How about SNSs?
-
How about SNSs?
hmm. you're right. oh well. cant make changes this late in the game.
-
It didn't start though. Might as well change it now.
Anyways, I'm assuming nobody wants to be my partner?
-
What should I do with my SNS then? Put the nose to the sides?
-
no trumpetguy. it's fine.
-
A prize is now up on the front page. Dunno if there will be more...

The golden mace is sweet, is it stronger than the original or the same?
-
Am I late? put me in if i fit in...
-
Wasn't there a golden mace component in the Darkrat pack?
-
Viper: Probably the same.
Can you also put up them Silver claws?
I have one half of my team ready. All I need to do is build my other one.
-
Am I late? put me in if i fit in...
Yes but you can PM someone asking them if they will be your partner. you can still be partners with somebody.
Viper- the same, just cooler looking.
S32- sure :D

Well... I would be with SomeStrangeGuy if he wants...
-
Ive been working alot this week... will work on my bots this weekend and submit. :P
-
updated prizes again.
-
When can we send the bots anyways?
-
updated prizes again.
They look easy to duplicate (with a bit of trial and error) but that doesn't come with the prestige of getting into the position to actually earn it.

Sure. Good luck finding the exact color codes i used... you can always tell the real one from a duplicated one that way.
S.T.C. : you may start sending bots on Sunday, August 23rd.

Ofcourse, getting it spot on would be a total lucky shot, but someone could always do it so they don't feel.. left out.

pft... who cares about prizes really? I want honor and prestige! (not going to get it though)
-
WoW! Silver & Bronze Mace! Those are great!
-
I just noticed ACAMS never made the list.. I currently only have one bot close to completion so if ACAMS wants to join with me that can work ?
or
if someone else wants to team up with me and give there place to ACAMS that would work if ACAMS wants to join :-D

If ACAMS wants to join, he fine. He just has to either PM me or post here on who his partner is.
-
I too am happy to have ACAMS on my team.
Would be like old times.
Starcore
-
Well send him a PM. It's easier to get a hold of him that way.
-
No one will beat the "Dream Team"
-
Hey Sage! I & SSG are pair because we chat and he said that it's OK.
-
Alright, I put your name on the front page.
-
do you have a set deadline yet when are bots have to be in or are you still waiting for more people to join.
-
I was thinking to have all bot in by sept. 1... but i don't know if that's enough time.
-
I might have to pull out.. =( I'm on vacation Sept 1 through about Sept 8...
-
You may want to give people a little longer, with school starting and all that.
-
Good idea kill. Alright guys-
BOTS MUST BE IN BY SEPTEMBER 20th!
-
Phew, I think I can manage that.
...I think.
-
OK
-
hmm the 20th, thats awhile from now I was hopeing it woulden't be to far from this date I have a good feeling about this tourney, Trumpet and me have a nice team in store for you guys:evil:. Idk would it be okay instead of the 20th the 13th to have the bots in. I just figure that alot of people are way better at stock than DSL so I would think it won't be hard for people to make there bots ;). If the 13th is to soon for some people then i'm fine with the 20th, I just hate waiting long periods of time for good tourney's:smiley:.
-
Sounds fine to me.
-
20th eh? Sounds fine with me.
-
september 20th?
That plenty of time to fool around with some designs :-D
-
I'm already all but finished mine :O
I just have some final AI testing to do and I should be good to go.
-
RA2 on laptop = ridiculously annoying with my resolution

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....................
well the 20th is good for me, I still need to make updates.
-
I too am happy to have ACAMS on my team.
Would be like old times.
Starcore
assuming ACAMS will team with Starcore if he joins I have now teamed with Craaig for this one :-D
-
Well send him a PM. It's easier to get a hold of him that way.
I did PM ACAMS and he did respond. We are a go for the Starcore & ACAMS team. The Age and Treachery (or is that Scum and Villainy?) team are in the house.
You don't need to worry about us, we have a history of destroying each other in the effort of getting to our opponents. ;)
Starcore
-
Sage... I think I'm going to go ahead and pull out of the tournament. I am finding my head completely empty of decent stock MW ideas. You can go ahead and give my spot to someone else.
-
Alright guys, that means there is a spot open!
If current team members want to break off from their team, they may.
-
I'll stay, unless Starcore kicks me out.
-
I wonder if yoshi would want to do something like this? I'll ask him tonight.
-
If its a first come first serve thing for the spot, id like it :D
-
aight ur signed up
-
I'll stay, unless Starcore kicks me out.
Glad to stay a team. Live and probably die together. ;)
Starcore
-
(@ ACAMS:) Glad to stay a team.
This frightens me to no end. If I lose sleep tonight this is the reason.
-
^QFT but there were surprises in tournaments before.
-
Greenbot, do you still want to be partners? I finished my bot.
-
I am building a horizontal, vertical spinner popup with 37 weapon heads (not counting the spike strips) It scares me to even look at it. And you KNOW Starcore will have a KILLER......I suggest you all drop out now to save your self!
(Well I may have got a little carried away, but it will have at least 2 flippers)

hmm 37 weapon heads sounds evil:evil:.
-
Of course SC and ACAMS are both excellent bot builders. The problem is that they often find each other subject to 'friendly fire'...
-
there is 3 main strategy's to teams
Simple method - throw in 2 random bots and hope for the best
Average method - build 2 robots that compliment each other and work well as a team
SC, ACAMS method - have the two robots practically dismantle the other in an attempt to absolutely destroy the opponent :P
-
Yeah, I'm looking for a teammate.
-
i'll be one.
-
Scratch that. I'm going to pull out to revive CataGORE.
-
LOL you don't want to be with LRA2.
-
Scratch that. I'm going to pull out to revive CataGORE.
Yea i think he made it a little bit to obvious
-
I'll only give you a brief preview of my bot. It's a popup.
-
Yea i think he made it a little bit to obvious
I doubt he really cares lol;)
-
I'll be with you LRA2.
-
If thats sarcasm...
Me dead.
-
No Its not sarcasm.
-
Sage, did you get mine?
-
Sage, did you get mine?
yes.
-
BTW, I'm still with GB. If we split up, You can add the other bot.
-
BTW, I'm still with GB. If we split up, You can add the other bot.
Decide if you're splitting up or not now, cause it would open up another spot if you did.
-
I would ask him, but he is rarely on
-
Hmm... apparently we're able to send in bots?
-
Yes.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I MISSSSSED THAT
-
You could be my partner for this Naryar.
-
...no
-
I'd like to partner up with somebody if anybody is interested.
-
Guess LRA2 isn't my partner then? Oh well. I only built one bot and since LRA2 isn't my parner I'll just customise one of them a little and send them in now. Expect another crap entry from me lol. Stock kinda bores me.
-
I AM YOUR PARTNER.
Had a few Delays so couldent get my comfermation in.
-
You can be my partner, Nar.
-
Due to MM(Man Manu) telling me to name my bot Snails Like Uber Trannys i shall be with R.R unless he dosent want to.So i am pending.
-
You can be my partner, Nar.
I LOVE YOU REIER
-
<3 ya too Nar. :mrgreen:
-
Due to MM(Man Manu) telling me to name my bot Snails Like Uber Trannys i shall be with R.R unless he dosent want to.So i am pending.
Stop making sh**ty bots/entering joke bots in tourney's and people might take you seriously;). RR is better off by himself if he wants to get past the first round lol. @MM funny, just by the name you gave it,The bot must be bad:lol:
I LOVE YOU REIER
Nice you and Reier are teamed up:evil:. This going to be a really sweet tourney alot of good competiton, can't wait for it to start:smiley:.
-
Due to MM(Man Manu) telling me to name my bot Snails Like Uber Trannys i shall be with R.R unless he dosent want to.So i am pending.
I got 2 bots already, sorry LRA2.
-
I'm actually willing to team up with anyone who is having trouble building bots right now, SSG before he teamed up with Jonzu, for example. If you need help, we shall discuss via PM.
-
Oh wow, this looks like a cool tournament. Too bad I missed out. Anyone willing to be my partner?
-
Hmmmmm. You can be my partner tilt. I have a feeling it will be more fun to have a noob on my team... (much like when I had sorrow on my team for the TTC.)
-
Anyone wanna team up, building 1 bot on this laptop is annoying enough.
-
Anyone wanna team up, building 1 bot on this laptop is annoying enough.
How? Building one on mine is easy.
-
I can be your partner, Ounce. I'm having trouble building a decent non-generic MW right now. XD
-
Sage, me and GB are still gonna be partners. I'm gonna use Billy 2 for the tourney.
-
I would team up but i already submitted both of my bots (Amonia, and Bleach) Sorry.
-
OK Pwn
I'm having the same problem that you are, though, but I don't mind.
Go ahead Sage
-
Hmmmmm. You can be my partner tilt. I have a feeling it will be more fun to have a noob on my team... (much like when I had sorrow on my team for the TTC.)
Thanks, i think... i hope i dont dissapoint :D
-
Does anyone want me to be their partner? I have a 456.5 lb bot. :/
-
^just out of curiousity what kind of bot is it? HS, VS, etc you get the drift.
-
It's a VS.
-
Seems like theres another space open if anyone wants it.
And what do you mean ounce? "Go ahead Sage?"
-
I have decided to be partners with Pwnator. If you look in the previous page, you will see that he has agreed with it.
-
Last chance for anybody to be my partner.
-
I'll take the empty spot if it isn't already taken. My bots are ready to send if I'm in.
-
alright, ur in.
-
I got 2 bots already, sorry LRA2.
AHHHHH!
40757,Will you be my partner?
-
Ok, I'll be my own team then Sage. Sorry for the hastle. You have both my bots anyway.
-
I'll settle with man manu.

Will the videos be posted on youtube, or will they just be on Quicktime, like the last tourney?
-
I'll settle with man manu.
**** off twat.
-
I sent mine in, but my name's not in green!

Give him a while to edit?

**** off twat.
haha LRA2 thats what you get:evil:, you were lucky enough that someone wanted to be your partner to begain with and a decent builder:smiley:. Now you have no partner unless someone feels sorry for you again but I think the people in this tourney actually want to do good and not get owned 1st round, so start praying haha.
-
Remember! bots have to be UNDER 400kgs! and you send two of them!
-
I would not be that sure Viper. A very bad teammate does not means instant doom...
I mean look at that:

Ah I see :approve:. But consider these Two factors:1. Have you seen the bots he's been entering in Tourney's. 2. The only way I see something like that happening in the video is if gets a really good builder on his team that can make a serious bot that can support the team if LRA2's bot gets destroyed. And also he has to find a partner, but yes I see your point;)
-
Anyone wanna team up, building 1 bot on this laptop is annoying enough.
I could be your partner?
-
no somebody, ur already in the list. if you joined with pyscolone that would leave an empty space. i dont want more empty space.
-
When's the deadline, Sage? Any space left? I might join..
-
When's the deadline, Sage? Any space left? I might join..
Dead line was 20th setemper and there is no space. Unless someone wants to team up with u.
I would be happy if you were to team up with me, for I am having trouble just building the one robot, But it's up to you
-
I'll take the empty spot if it isn't already taken. My bots are ready to send if I'm in.
I'll be your partner.
-
When's the deadline, Sage? Any space left? I might join..
somebody wanted to team up with pyscolone which Sage said the only problem was an empty space which you could fill ?
-
Just what i was thinking.
-
Alright, thats fine. Just everyone PM eachother and post what here what happens.
-
..... I would be happy if you were to team up with me, for I am having trouble just building the one robot, But it's up to you
Well, Doom, I wouldn't mind that, but Pys and I already agreed we'd team up. But thanks for your offer.
LRA2, someone will team up with you; just be grateful and not arrogant for whomever you team up with... (and work hard on your bot...)
-

It chained motors.But weapons are too high up so it flips the bots into the BLADE OF DOOM!
-
The probable only way you can get a teammate is to come up with a somewhat decent bot and post it in your showcase.
-
i will team up with anybody(well not ANYBODY)
if doomkiller wants to i will.
edit: this is my bot btw
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71779oota.png)
-
Yeah ok roboman2444 I shall team up with you.
Do you have MSN? For my pm box is almost full.....
-
no but i have google mail.
-
I sent my bots?!?! but my name isnt green ?!?!
-
Um, I quit this.
-
my pm box is almost full.....
You guy's need to keep you PM box as empty as possible.......I made it so you could have more messages when you host tournaments and such, but they DO take up unnecessary space, so keep them cleaned out except in emergencies.
-
Sorry about not getting my bot in I will try to get it in asap.
-
I sent my bots?!?! but my name isnt green ?!?!
:?sigh :neutral:
-
hmm?
-
:mrgreen:now you change it lol
-
Only 28 more bots and then we can get this tournament started. WOOT!
-
I sent my entry.
I did try and make something new but it was even worse than Minesweeper, so... Minesweeper goes into his 3rd tournament...
I quess this is the first time some one has used the same bot in 3 different tournaments?
-

Fourth.
ARBBC, Doomed Bots, BotB and this one.
-
Can I Be Doomkillers partner?
-
Can I Be Doomkillers partner?
Sorry dude, but I have teamed up with roboman
Just gota pm sage about that
Beside, ud be better off starting a showcaes, posting some bots and taking advice, so u can build better bots before entering in a tourney ok?
-

Well okay... Today! Bots coming!
-
Just a quick question, does it matter if one of the bots is, say, 5kg under, and the other is 5kg over, as long as they don't go over 800? :)
-
Each bot may weigh NO MORE than 400 kgs. (Yes, your bot can be 399.9 kgs.)
Does that answer it craaig?
-
Does that answer it craaig?
Aah. I feel lazy for not seeing that >.>
Thanks DK.
-
Sage, I did send my new entries yes?
-
yeah I did see that DK but we were still asking because....
Real multi bots could sacrifice weight for the others, its what sets them apart from being to MW Tag Team Robots.
-

I guess, but that up to sage, not me, and it says no bot cane be more that 400 kgs in his rules....
-
Yup! My first competition is about to begin! Edit: This is my bot.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60801screenshot_15.bmp)
-
looks good, a lot better then my first tournament robot lol
-
looks good, a lot better then my first tournament robot lol
Well, I'm not so newbie than LRA2, I think that my Building rate is 7-8 of 10
-
I'm gonna send a new bot.
-
@ Man Manu- I believe so.
@ the 400kg discussion- UNDER 400kgs! (or exactly 400).
Wanna know why? Because if we sacrificed weight on one of the bots so that you could put it on the other, you would have a 750 kg HS and a 50 kg bot with wheels.
-
me and doomkiller are teaming up.
-
that's a good point (you could have always put a minimum weight for each part) never mind I think Craaig's bot can easily be fixed up
-
Alright guys, remember! September 20th! That is 5 more days. Get your bots in. Make this your top priority!
-
just have to AI mine and Craaigs so expect them within the next 1 or 2 days
-
Nary and I need to talk about it.
-
I actually haven't seen Viper on ,but my bot is ready, just need to do AI work.
-
Viper has been quite active (mainly seen him in the King of Karnage Thread) and his DSL showcase has been active too...
-
What he has!!! Well I havn't see him.
-
What he has!!! Well I havn't see him.
I'm on everyday:?. Anyways Ill continue this conversation through Pm because their are a few things I wanted to ask you about:smiley:.
-
ive sent mine off, but no ai yet.
edit:do i? my name is green so i guess i dont.
-
Just sent my bots.
-
just sent my bot, Let's hope for the best :)
-
Sent in my bots. I am realllllly looking forward to this. :P
-
Two days left guys. I will not be giving any more time after the 20th to get your bots in.
-
sage i got a q for u
my bot... should i send in my updated one with maces for wep instead? or should u just put them on urself.
-
Sage I have both Craaigs and My robots ready to send but mine is requiring a custom .py that Mad helped me with... can I send you the bots so we meet the deadline but send you the bindings for them say on the 21st ?
I just have a lot of work right now and I dont want Craaig to be a victim because of it :-D
-
Yea. bots are due the 20th. i never said anything about the ai line :D
-
thanks Sage you are a life saver :-D
-
1 more day!!!1
-
How long till the splash once you get all the bots Sage?
-
Crap, I forgot to add a smartzone to my bot called BoneShaker.
-
I can do that. It's fine.
-
Goooooonna get it in!!!!
-
Minor adjustment including a paintjob, should be done tonight.(Hopefully, if not tommorow morning).

Name in green if bots are sent.
BOTS MUST BE IN BY SEPTEMBER 20th!
This is why I register people once they send their bot and not when they post saying they want to enter.
If there's still a bunch of empty spots tomorrow, will you open registration for people not on this list? Or just go on with a smaller bracket. Or perhaps give people the option of splitting up teams and entering two of their own bots, if they want.
...Wait, your own name isn't green? How does that work?
-
I haven't finished my bot yet :D
And yea, I might make the bracket smaller. We'll see how many bots I get by tomorrow night.
-
hay sage can u change my irons to maces plz. u can bot file edit if u want
-
I'm still in this. I just have to make some minor tweaks. I will have my bots in by tomorrow.
-
4th time, Take me out the Bracket.
EDIT: I ****ING QUIT! NO MORE PM'S!!!
-

EDIT: I ****ING QUIT! NO MORE PM'S!!!
Alright. I just talked with TiLT, said he would be willing to split up with me. That means he and I will be on separate teams.
Unless anyone else wants to split up?
-
I sent the Bunsen Burner 2wins. Did you get them Sage?
btw what arena?
-
Here in the UK it's officially been time for 9 hours now.
US.. 1~4 hours (not familiar with the range of US time zones) but still, not many people do go past midnight..
-
wow quite a few more people still need entry's....
and I thought I was pressed for time getting mine in
-
I'll start building Iron Storm 5 right now.
EDIT: And a bunch of math as well to make THIS chassis have a perfect center of symmetry Ironstorm 4
-
My bots are ready, but I wont be able to send till later because I am going white water rafting...plus i do not even know what the date is
-
if memory serves I think sage said the 20th...
-
Its 20th for me.DAM MAN MANU.
-
20th at midnight guys... you have a full day.
-
Aww... I am so excited for my first battle! :D
-
I have finished my robot! Just need to AI it and then I will send it to you.
-

Do you have picture of it or is it a secret?
-
Its a secret...
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80920SR.JPG
-
Its a secret...
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80920SR.JPG
And a brilliantly well kept secret it is too.
Similarly, (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42518MK ULTRA.png) until the splash is made, no-one will see my entry.
-

Same,my entry's a secret too till the splash comes out.
-
Urjak, you know you need TWO bots right?
-
Isnt it allowed to use the same bot twice? I would have used 2 Minesweepers if I had not teamed up with Jonzu.
-
Oh yea, of course. I didn't know thats what he was planning though.
-
My bot is built. I'll skin it and send it.
Bindings will come later.
-
Oh yea, of course. I didn't know thats what he was planning though.
Yeah. SSG is right. I was planning to enter two copies of the same bot.
-
I'm a little worried about how I'll do...
-
12 more bots and we can get this started!!!
-
I'm a little worried about how I'll do...
Yeah,me too..
-
i'm gonna FAIL!
it's obvious.
-
Yea i probably will to but ahh well its just for fun anyways
-
I'm discouraged at Perturbed. The wedges aren't as good as I'm used to them being. It's average. Hopefully Seism can save it from some sticky situations.
-
i'm gonna FAIL!
it's obvious.
You might not if you spent much time building and testing on your bot... against something else than Stock AI of course.
Also Iron Storm 5 pwns. Hope it'll do well with Reier's bot.
-
Anyone have a bot named I-Blitz? I have one in my folder of bots but I don't know which team it belongs to...
-
sent mine and craaigs bindings/custom .py :-D
-
I think that I and SSG will win at least 1 battle... :D
-
You might not if you spent much time building and testing on your bot... against something else than Stock AI of course.

Reier's bot is a popup with plastic...my last resort cause you didn't give me any good suggestions on how to lower the weight when I posted it! I'll forgive y'all when I win. :P
-
I dont know how much my robot "pwns" but its something new :-D
-
My bot pwns most popups in its weightclass, acording to starcore 4
-
Mine's been untested.
-
Any more bots been sent Sage? Maybe byes?
-
4 more bots!!!!!!
Then we're ready to go. :D
-
Deadline past dude...
However, here is my in-depth analysis:
Yoshi64900 hasn't show up around here in a while... I am guessing that he may have moved on from RA2 and left us all behind.
Psycolone is quirky... kinda reminds me of Cartman... One moment he is totally into things, the next moment he is: "Screw you guys... I'm going home." He might submit a bot, but only if he is damn well ready.
Kill343 seems to be off and on the forums lately... I am beginning to wonder if he forgot that he joined this tourney altogether. Did anyone send him a PM?
II more than likely has a bot ready. He just needs to make time between the 6 girlfriends, 3 sports, classes, sleeping, parties, and general bathroom daily requirements to finish it up. I vote that he delays taking a leak at somepoint during the day to just finish the AI line and get it over with. :P
-
I have confirmed entries coming from kill, pysc, and Inf. Kill said his brother yoshi was dropping out, so there will be 1 bye.
Will get this tourney going soon. Can't promise a date though. If it doesn't happen soon enough for your liking, don't post something about it. Just be patient like a proper human being.
-
Bots are done, will not be skinning them due to time constrictions. Sending tonight.
-
Psycolone is quirky... kinda reminds me of Cartman... One moment he is totally into things, the next moment he is: "Screw you guys... I'm going home." He might submit a bot, but only if he is damn well ready.
Pysc is transitioning to college.

Only one girlfriend and [sadly] one sport now, but also includes training! I also have had my bots ready for a while now, but I use my slight amount of spare time to keep up here at GTM as well as check my email, Facebook, and ESPN.
But other than that...at least some one I dont talk to on a daily basis around here understands me completely :biggrin:
-
My bots have been sent.
-
Hurry up InfiniteInertia! I'm so excited! :D
-
So when will it be ready? Not pushing, just wondering.
-
He's 9 days overdue... you said no exceptions.
Two days left guys. I will not be giving any more time after the 20th to get your bots in.
-
Ive had my bot tested and entered forever f***ers i just never skinned them the way I wanted.
-
Did you send them today?
-
Can you just hurry up please Inf if you haven't already sent them. We can wait a couple of days, maybe a week at most but 9 days? Takes the micky man...
-
I HAVE ALREADY HAD THEM SENT
-
The main 'hold up', so to speak, is not Inf, but the new Arena that Trov and I are finishing up and testing.
So be patient, things are moving along...
...and Sage will run a good tourney.
.
-
He's 9 days overdue... you said no exceptions.
Thats only if they don't AI it themselves. Aiing takes a long time, and aas long as they get it in before I finish, that's fine. I just didn't want to tell the public that because some people will figure: "Oh, i just have to AI it and then I have more time" but then they don't AI it.
And thanks Mad.
-
Sage.
I literally took an old n00b bot and changed the weapons in about 10 minutes and sent it to you.
Can I pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease rebuild and resend?
And as an extra bonus if you say yes, I'll AI for myself? Pleezpleezpleez
-
So how is this coming? No rush by the way.
-
So how is this coming? No rush by the way.
Getting everything organized. 64 bots is not a simple thing to coordinate, which bot's on whose team and who's on whose team and stuff like that.
-
Take all the time you need. It helps build up tention! :biggrin:
-
Believe me, it will be worth the wait.
-
that's really good to know :D
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCs-o0BMmMc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCs-o0BMmMc)
Thought this was cool. Will get a normal splash up soon, just thought this would pump you guys up a bit.
-
never have I paused a video so many times :P
hmm a lot of HS's and Pop Ups (as expected)
40707 entered Seism 16 (also expected)
Inf entered eXo (expected that one to)
ROBO has gone pink (err not expecting that one :P)
I want to get a good look at Mads robot, it interests me
Nice video sage
-
I am still thinking wether your splash or video skill is better.....
-
Perturbed sucks so bad... I don't know why I entered it in the tourney :(
-
wow,didn't see my bots in there tho,still nice vid
-
^ The very end.
-
Sooooooo.... many popups=fresh meat for the SNSs and HSs.
-
I am still thinking wether your splash or video skill is better.....
I would say his splash skills. He left out a couple of entrants, I was paired with Pwn, and greenbot was paired with NateF.
-
Sooooooo.... many popups=fresh meat for the SNSs and HSs.
I have an anti SnS/ HS design on my bot that resulted in about 7 controls including forward and leftright, for the first time ever I can say the AI will do a better job then me :P
-
^ The very end.
Those weren't rlly it,I entered a FS and a HS
-
Funny I don't remember painting my bot....
-
Well, good thing I posted this then!
Ounce- Which bot was yours, which was pwns?
S.T.C.- I don't have your other bots. Send them in RIGHT AWAY. (EDIT: Are your bots named GreenN and Hikaru Senshou? Then I DO have them.)
Any other issues you guys see?
-
GReeeeN and Hikari Sasuhou (I'll explain the names later),and yes,those are the ones
-
Pwn's was on the left (Magnetar), and mine on the right (Blue Giant). I think I mentioned that in the pm when I sent you our bots.
-
nice video:smiley:. sigh... i wish my stock building skills were better:frown:.
-
R0B0's bots = O_O
Similar popup and similar SnS. O_O
-
ROBO has gone pink (err not expecting that one :P)
Light purple >:O
From that, the competition level looks to be really good. It should be a very interesting tourney.
-
Light purple >:O
Riiiiiiiiight...
Anyway, another unique popup from Pys, and I dunno what Mad's bot does. XD
-
Wow, Never seen my name in youtube video! Cool! I am so excited! :D
-
Light purple >:O
Im just playing :P Irony will probably bite back and those pretty pink bots will kill me XD
-
Some intereseting bots....
Did anybody notice which way my weapon where facing? :evil:
-
Nah. xD
-
I think I will showcase mine as neither the video or splash will show its abilities truly (nothing off sages awesome video skills),
it looks like a regular pop up but it does something that I dont think has been done before :-D
-
Real nice video clip, Sage. Very cool way to present the entrants....'Splashing'.
-
A simple splash is better.
Also R0B0 skins = teh ghey
-
:O Ribbs's 2nd bot is like almost exactly like Montezuma's Revenge DR! :O
-
Gah, a lot of these bots are damn good, I'm just hoping MK Ultra is up to it ;p. But yeah, wait till you see Joe's bot (RY3NO) in battle. Pretty damn innovative ;D
-
nice video, nice bots, a lot pop ups, including mine, hopefully, it will better than Toss up
-
I went through 4 versions of my bot until I was satisfied.
-
if you all look at the last two bots in that video, which btw are both epic fail bulids, those are mine. :( I guess I saw this tornament and got a little too excited and entered my bots immediately w/o thinking. Oh well, they should prove to be a good laugh though. :)
-
so when is it gonna start? all the bots are aied
-

Well, that's a fail on my part. The actual splash will have everything correct.
-
Trov and I are working on the arena, and we are doing it AQAP.
It's an unusual arena with unique features. Be patient (and I think y'all are...).
-
If I may ask; how is the splash going so far,Sage?
-
Man one of the bots i entered is going to get destroyed because of how unprotected it's chassis is but the other one should at least put up a fight. Hopefully
-
Sooo let's see about the diversity... 23 HS and 20 popups on 64 bots ? *cough*
Anyways, no 4WD HPZ bot. Good for my SnS becuse it has consequent spinup time until the flails extend.
-
Sooo let's see about the diversity... 23 HS and 20 popups on 64 bots ? *cough*
People just go with what they're good at ya'know?
-
Only one of my bots is a popup. The other is a loaded rupting flipper.
-
Well, that's a fail on my part. The actual splash will have everything correct.
Ok cool! Still, it was nice that my fail bots were kind of hidden in the video. Save me the embarassment. Haha. :p
-
How much do you have left? Just wondering....
-
I don't see my name in the vid!
-
when are the brackets and vids coming?
-
As soon as I get them done?
-
All we're asking for is an update man, it's just been a while... We're not saying it in a harsh way or anything.
-
I have about half of the bots AIed, and about half the fancy splash done. If I have time this week at all, I will work on getting those both finished up and we should have splash and maybe brackets by Halloween.
-
IMO you should AI em as soon as you recive them. I do that and it saves me lots of time, look at N00b Warz.
-
What you're stating is true, Reier. Yet there are a lot of bots.
And I think Sage is politely glossing over the fact that Trov and I are just finishing up the final tweakings of the RAW-2 Arena. So the arena work is part of the wait too....
-
If all goes well the splash should be done tomorrow. I realized I thought I needed to do double the work that there actually is to do. But, as such, the splash is very long and skinny... i made 60 spaces cause i thought i had that amount of bots. But the spaces are for teams... meaning I only need 30... (this is because there is 1 BYE team and 2 teams that have the same bot, which i will split one space up for)
anyways, just an update.
-
yay! Splash Today!
-
Yea let's hope he gets it done by today.
