The reason hazards were left on is because, if they were off the pit would have remained open, which was bad because when I had them off, Aeon and Hairline Fracture would have stupidly driven into the pit when the match began.

Change starting positions?

But why did my bot turn straight in front of SM at the beginning? Was it AI error or something?

My best guess is it was avoiding the hazards. In exactly the same way as Hairline Fracture was when it drove itself directly into the wall. The thing is, after what happened to me when I reached this stage last time, quite a lot of why I decided to actually enter this time was due to GRW explicitly telling me that the hazards would be turned OFF in the RW Arena, which I have quoted in my previous post. I think I have a right to feel cheated, and I'm actually both wanting and expecting him to turn the hazards off and film the matches again.

Fine, new videos are up

On either Thursday or Saturday I will work on the 3rd Place Fight, Final and Chapionship Rumble, just as a heads up.

Just gonna post this in case you guys don't look at the GTM Facebook page

NFX · « **Reply #228 on:** May 03, 2012, 06:04:24 PM »

I don't have facebook. So nyah.

Looks pretty cool, though. Maybe could be slightly clearer, try saving as a .PNG rather than a .JPEG next time. And try not to use colours like the yellow on silver there, it's very hard to make out. More contrast is better in that situation.

I'm liking the rumble. As long as something eats NFX fair quickly.

But yeah, it does look like it should be a good fight.

Marty, Ty or NFX to win the rumble, in that order (Ty is more survivable and has a better chance against the spinners).

Celestial Panda · « **Reply #232 on:** May 04, 2012, 12:56:34 PM »

Is the rumble going to be all 8 at once? Didn't think that was possible.

NFX · « **Reply #233 on:** May 04, 2012, 12:58:58 PM »

Nah, the games .exe prohibits it. Two heats of four. Either the winners fight, or the last remaining two go into another rumble.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #234 on:** May 05, 2012, 01:33:18 AM »

Yes, it will be 2 rumbles, with the winners of the 2 facing each other in a 1 vs 1 Match to decide who wins the championship.

This also means that today will be when the awards thread will possibly be posted with new updated rankings.

OT: Was away for most of Yesterday, I was at Galaxyland.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #235 on:** May 05, 2012, 03:11:07 PM »

DP. I might need to turn hazards on for the championship rumble matches, as I don't like the cheap victories that are happening during filming with hazards off thanks to the pit being open and robots driving in it like idiots...

Even the grand finale is annoying me with this...

NFX · « **Reply #236 on:** May 05, 2012, 03:13:36 PM »

Alright, stick the hazards back on if it's causing problems. If it's this much of a hassle, though, perhaps you should choose a different arena next time.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #237 on:** May 05, 2012, 04:37:36 PM »

A quick question, I am using a song by Skillet in the Championship Rumble, will it be blocked in Germany or any other Country?

NFX · « **Reply #238 on:** May 05, 2012, 04:42:15 PM »

If you open it up in Audacity, and add an extremely quiet static track to it, that should fool the copyright robots. What music you use isn't strictly relevant, though, I don't think. It doesn't affect the match in any way.

madman3 · « **Reply #239 on:** May 05, 2012, 04:44:48 PM »

come on bro lets have some cannibal corpse durin the match

But please avoid the mainstream rock choices, it gets pretty annoying for me at least.
