thats something im not going to do, because it takes forever. the few people i have showed the sample video to have thought it was great even without str/weak.

It'd be cool w/ strength & weaknesses, but I'd be satisfied with that.
Jules, that bot is going to beat mine and others. It's a great bot.

Okay, I'll explain a little abou my bot, because eveyone has the wrong idea.
Facemelikeaman is about 500Kg's, making it one of the lighter bots. I also have three different batteries in it, making it roughly 7, if I'm correct. it's as fast as a lightweight rammer, and is invertible. It'll still be owned by most bots, but I made it to last longer than you think. It also has two castors at the back. You know, the green ones?

Urjak · « **Reply #42 on:** September 28, 2008, 02:11:11 PM »

Why did you make it only 500kgs?

System32 · « **Reply #43 on:** September 28, 2008, 02:12:02 PM »

To allow for a lighter load.

Urjak · « **Reply #44 on:** September 28, 2008, 02:13:15 PM »

Couldn't you have added slightly more powerful weapons to your disks?

System32 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 28, 2008, 02:14:30 PM »

they are good, not HPZ good, but still good.

Edit: My predictions:

Bot's I could beat (with insane amounts of luck...):
Skurge (If I still have wheels I could do some damage...)
Hum drums (Thier weapon seems way two low for any damage... mine's to high...)

Bots that would make an interesting fight with me:
Lousy launcher (I go up, I go down, I attack, I go up...)
Goodbye blue sky (Charge!)
Archimandrite V (We will fly like the birds...)

hey guys, thats not the bracket. i was doing some tests with hyperlinks in pictures. please remove.

Reier · « **Reply #47 on:** September 28, 2008, 08:16:51 PM »

Sage, some of the links on the tournament page aren't working. I'm not complaning or anything, I just wanted to inform you.

EDIT: Sorry, they're working again, I guess I just looked while he was editing the page or something. (What was with that vid that was on the brackets' page though?)

ACAMS · « **Reply #48 on:** September 28, 2008, 09:51:56 PM »

It is gone now, and I am finished with the site (Sage's turn now).....I guess it should have been kept secret as you were not supposed to see that vid.

Steel Meatball and Morse Code Breaker are gonna be hard to beat.
Thor 3 may cause trouble too.

I am finally back online (went home for the weekend from campus and didnt have internet). But in terms of my bot T O R Q U E, it really has x2 6-mags chained together and uses 3 DSL black batts (exclusing 1 or two tiny orange "backup" batteries). Armor is DSA. Once it reaches top speed, it tends to send opponents flying... Hence the name.

H@zm47 · « **Reply #50 on:** September 28, 2008, 10:36:05 PM »

that's a scary bot Gigafrost...

However DSA armor is pretty much non-existant in DSL. I'd be pretty worried about that.

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #51 on:** September 29, 2008, 12:38:06 AM »

I can knock off the saws on Gammaraze 3 pretty easily, so maybe the same will happen to Morse Code Breaker.

Naryar · « **Reply #52 on:** September 29, 2008, 02:07:52 AM »

A 500 kg bot. Amazing.

Aah, I should have got rid of the teeth and used the weight to make a bigger lower wedge. Then it would be nearly as good as HazCon.

Especially if my bot's only throwing 500kg...

My bot(s) gets under people and grinds at their underside, I have a multibot specifically to kill things like PSI, one bot distracts PSI, then the other attacks from an unshielded spot.

Hmm...
I don't know if its even possible to AI a bot(s) to do that. If it is, it may be a good strategy.

Naryar · « **Reply #56 on:** September 29, 2008, 06:27:35 AM »

Where do you see an unshielded spot on PSI? And Hazmat is right, they are AIed, they will just attack straight on.

These MW drums look well made, but there is great damage potential in the tourney, especially with UBER powered HS and VS... these MW's won't stand long. Especially with low defense.

Madiaba · « **Reply #57 on:** September 29, 2008, 08:49:55 AM »

Both multibots use the same AI.py for tactics. I think Con is saying that his opponent can only 'pay attention' to one of the two m-bots at a time, leaving the other to attack from the flank or rear.
(BTW, that's true for the m-bots too; they both can only focus on/attack one opponent bot at a time. Since they both share the same coding, "GetNearestEnemy" is the same for both. But,.. I don't know which half of the two would determine 'nearest enemy'.:Confused: ... MPD for sure. hehe)

PSI looks well protected to me too.

Thanks ACAMS and to all the others who like my bot, the skirt is to protect the wedge and the underside, the steel skirts which stick out the side are to cover more of the bots body they stick out because if i had used straight steel skirts instead of angled ones less of the bot would be protected. and yes i accept the fact it's not invertable and it's wheels were a bad choice. but hey, at least i'm competing and thats the main thing right?

Right in the back! And, the reason I say that one will distract, the other attacks, is that they will almost NEVER be on the same side of their opponent. Mad is right.
