I invited Trovaner and a couple of others to join via PM, I thought it would be nice if Trovaner was a part of the tournament he helped create.

Eventually yes, it is a prize though so whoever wins and possibly the top points scorer gets to use it before everyone else.

I'm going to throw together some Time-Out matches, these are random battles between the entries that have no impact on the actual tournament. First up will be the "On Fire Rumble" featuring Fireball, FireFly and Firework.

Time-Out - On Fire Rumble:

You should totally do a havok match between eogjfdbdfgF5438 and FireFly.

Also now that it comes to mind, I'm surprised there were no chicken drills entered.

Or SnSers

I wouldn't say that, it only happens against multiple opponents to my knowledge so it's all clear sailing from here (at least I got it working and you got some points from that challenge).

Gonna root for Trov here, although i don't get his bot's weapon placement...

Trovaner · « **Reply #30 on:** October 05, 2012, 01:17:16 PM »

I didn't have the weight to point the weapons in the right direction (DSA and a nifty kinda made it heavy) and I wasn't able to exostack the anchors out far enough to use one of the extender's side APs. Most of my time was actually spent on getting the AI to drive. RA2 has problems with robots on their sides and NefariusBeing is no exception.

Useless Trivia:
-Its my only antweight and I made it solely for this tournament.
-I slanted the wheels so that it could drive on both sides. The chassis was getting to level with the ground for it to work without doing this.
-RA2 doesn't look at the roll (just pitch and yaw) when calculating the heading. It didn't even give access to a roll value (getHeading returns one pitch value and two yaw values (offset by 90 degrees)).

Perhaps you could make it a SnS or something?

Trovaner · « **Reply #32 on:** October 06, 2012, 07:47:55 PM »

Personally, I'm fine with how it works. Besides beat the box, the rest of the challenges prioritize durability over the bot's offensive abilities. There also wouldn't be much point in me doing well since I've already got the arena and I don't spend much time in game anymore.

Out of all the contenders, I think Anty C. will do the best. It may struggle in the Survival round but it may get lucky and land a blow to the T-extender.

The dreaded weak point O.o I'm cheering for ~~my bot~~ Dipper, FireFly, NefariusBeing (because they are a bit different, yet effective designs if done correctly) and Firework(because it's the same type of bot as one of mine).

Beat the Box has been recorded and put together, just saving the file to my hard drive now and will upload it after it's done. It should be up in the next 6 hours :)

ianh05 · « **Reply #35 on:** October 07, 2012, 04:42:48 AM »

Beat the Box has been uploaded and results posted. Now time to explain a couple of things about the round that happened.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #36 on:** October 07, 2012, 05:10:55 AM »

Pinner.py :)

Pwnator · « **Reply #37 on:** October 07, 2012, 05:19:28 AM »

OK, I totally underestimated TD2's strength. The Box is a LW, right? O_O

It failed a number of times in testing and would just tip over underneath the box lol. The box is a Middleweight (just) the weight is 370.7.

Pwnator · « **Reply #39 on:** October 07, 2012, 06:01:34 AM »

So a bot 3 times its weight can be flipped 1.5 times by a measly RAD o_o

Poll

What should be the final Time-out contest?
