May enter. Fever 3 and it's many contemporaries have been waiting for a tournament for a long, long time.
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: NFX on January 25, 2012, 06:16:05 AM
I'll probably enter something. No idea what to enter, though, I'll have to do some more concepting.

To wedge or not to wedge. That is the question.
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: Badnik96 on January 25, 2012, 01:55:56 PM
heh, I gotta enter if not just to keep up my 11th ranking (I'm technically 11th or close to 11th in 3 tourneys if you count BTTB, where I'm 12th)
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: NFX on January 25, 2012, 02:03:35 PM
I'm 7th here, 8th in Battlebots, and 9th in BTTB. I'm pretty sure I'm 10th in something as well, it might be Replica Wars. The question is, do I want to wreck that lovely pattern for another tournament win?

The answer is B: Yes. :gawe:
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3

Post by: GoldenFox93 on January 26, 2012, 05:08:49 PM
Might see if I can put something together- even if my ranking did go down due to Jonzu's fluke win,  I'll see if I can redeem myself this time around.
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: MassimoV on January 26, 2012, 06:38:35 PM
Sure. I'll enter for another 3 losses.

FNARG. I get sod all for fourth place, after I got screwed out of the match against S_M, and I'll bet I'm going to miss out on signups thanks to the damn time zones. I'll build something tomorrow, with any luck.

So I was building my entry, right? Coming along fairly well. Then, without warning, RA2 decided to close itself. Then the internet decided to close itself. And then my computer decided to restarted itself. Turns out it was automatically installing some pointless updates that I didn't even want in the first place. <expletive>ing technology. So no entry from me until tomorrow at the earliest.

Ouch. That happened to me when playing RCT2 once- hadn't saved in a while, either.

The bot file is still there in the teams folder, just not visible in game. You can copy the corresponding bot file to the robot designs folder so long as you don't overwrite it.

Pretty sure I did send an AI for the bot...
Yeah, you did and I used that AI, also checking SM's bot now.

SM's bot accepted, awaiting the AI he said he would send.

I'm reasonably confident myself. But I have a feeling I could do with a bit of luck this time around. Not like last time when I got screwed over by the hazards. Hopefully I can at least get through my group.

My bot's been heavily tweaked and tested, and is pretty wedgy and fairly damaging, so I expect to have a decent chance.

How will the groups work if there are less than 32 entries? Will there be groups of 3, or less than 8 groups and a bye in the knockout stages?

Will be similar to the way last season was done with 6 divisions of 4 people. But if I get to the 32 mark it will be 8 divisions.

Don't think you're gonna get 7 spots in 2 days, seeing how the rate of entries has slowed down.

How are you gonna fill your empty spots ? Byes ? Byebots ?
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on March 15, 2012, 09:03:42 AM
At the least right now I need two so there can be a seventh division at the most for the tournament is 7, am unsure what I would do if I can't get the 2 for the seventh division.

If I don't get an eight division 2 bots will be getting byes in the finals.
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3

But you didn't send the ai you said you wanted your bot to use yet
and signups are still open, so you will have to wait as more people could still enter.
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: NFX on March 15, 2012, 05:01:34 PM
You could have three groups of three and four groups of four, rather than a group with one entry in it. That would make things much more balanced.

Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: NFX on March 16, 2012, 09:57:41 AM
Just spread the bots out more evenly, so you have a few groups of three, rather than just one cheap bye group.

Yeah, but that is unless I don't get the last 2 spots filled.

Also awaiting the AI from Somebody and S_M, as they said they would send their own ai instead of me doing it.
Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on March 16, 2012, 11:13:56 PM

But I still only need a fix from Gauche Suede and then, and Ai from S_M and Somebody and I should be working on splash possibly tomorrow.

Title: Re: Robotic International Wars Season 3
Post by: NFX on March 17, 2012, 01:46:30 PM
Bots built vertically won't turn. Or the weapons are cancelling it out. I sometimes have that with a few of my Stock HS, and I can't for the life of me work out what causes it.
 
Perhaps the motors are wired the same with the LeftRight control than they are with the Forward control.

It is not wired the same, I did some changes to the AI code and the wires but now it just goes forwards turns around and runs into the wall.
