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.

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....

Trovaner · « **Reply #87 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:44:34 PM »

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).

Sage · « **Reply #88 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:56:57 PM »

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....

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.
