Yep. Actually, the only thing it hates other than better wedges is multibots (hmmm... just like Trojan Horse lol). So yeah, you might have a better chance. XD

Lost of good stuff here.  I tried my hand ay making a replica from a Stock chassis, the best I could do was Ghetto-Bot from Ronin's chassis.  Anyone who knows Ghetto Bot knows why I didn't even bother entering.

If I had to make a prediction, I'd say Sage and Scrap Daddy make the final, and Scrap Daddy wins.

Some cool bot and some variety in the chassis' picked(except for Ripblade!)

I still thing Jack wins for best use of a chassis :P

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on March 01, 2010, 06:14:51 PM
Sage right off the bat, eh? Should be fun.

Predictions!

Ripblade Revamped - Badnik
- Best weapons of the plethora of VS's, but huge exposed wheels and poor wedges will end up killing it. Instability could also be either a blessing in disguise or a straight up curse. Prediction: 9th-12th.

Backyard Gut-Ripper - Clickbeetle
- With no HS to out-weapon it, only wedges will limit how far it can go. If it has 4 wheel drive (I'm guessing it does), it is one of the bots to look out for. Prediction: 1st - 3rd.

Ripblade EVOLVED - Doomkiller
- Limited reach and small points of contact lead to RE not being able to do enough damage. Fragile weapons and easily flanked too. Prediction: 13th - 16th.

Smatom Asher - G.K.
- A bit of a sloppy build, but it looks like it can get the job done against most of the VS horde. Good weaponry, but it can be gut-ripped, and its' exposed motors are very vulnerable. Prediction: 6th - 9th.

Hellbringer's Cousin - Jack Daniels
- Ample weaponry may cause an upset at some point, but no wedges and a lack of speed both hurt. Prediction: 6th - 9th.

Metal Mutts - JoeBlo
- I think that they're wammers. Although both decent, Redline's BFR was much better, so these puppies might be more bark than bite. An early vote from me for the "WHY WON'T YOU JUST GO AWAY" award for the bot who's a pain in the ass to kill. Prediction: 9th - 12th.

Rip and Bleed - Larrain
- Points for the Thumperizer style, but that's pretty much it. Big wheels and more fragile than the self-confidence of the neighborhood emo kid. Prediction: 13th - 16th.

Ripblade - Little Lost Bot
- Might win a fight if it had better weaponry. Right now, my money would be on a feather duster over this one. Prediction: 15th - 16th.

OverPoweredSnowJob - Powerrave
- Not bad at all, but big exposed wheels will hurt it just as much as they hurt the original. No wedges either. Prediction: 8th - 12th.

Stinger Missle - Pwnator
- Very nicely built, it will cause a lot of bots a lot of problems. However, it can be out-weaponed by certain bots too. Prediction: 1st - 8th.

L1TT13 M3T4L FR13ND v2.0 - R0B0SH4RK
- Fast and wedgey, will snapper powered arms be powerful enough to win matches? I think so. Tilted razors allow it to gut-rip adequately too. Prediction: 1st - 4th.

Trappor - Rolo
- I like the trapping hands, but normals are making Naryar cry. The wedges may not be great either, but it is still quite a capable bot. Prediction: 6th - 11th.

BackScratch - Sage
- The original's name was better, but this is one of the deadliest bots here. It's got speed, power, and good defense on it's side. Like CB, its only potential weaknesses are its wedges. Prediction: 1st - 3rd.

Ali - Scrap Daddy
- Well designed and built, but I'm really not sold on how it will do. It will still get some wins based on how well it is built. Prediction: 4th - 6th.

Coal gRINDER - Sparkey
- Not a great choice of weaponry, and it's pretty slow too. This is the bot that all gut rippers want to face. Prediction: 14th - 16th.

RustWall - Squirrel_Monkey
- I'm not sure which chassis that is (I think it's Walrus, based on the name), but this is one of the bots that may cause an upset or two, though it is still quite gut-rippable. Prediction: 6th - 10th.

S_M > Doomkiller: DK's weapons look way too fragile to use, especially while chained vs a bot with ~150 kg in weaponry.

Sage < Robo: 4WD + longer wedges C:

Clickbeetle > Sparkey: Wedges

JD > Badnik: Flipped emergency wedges with slims. Chances are Badnik's bot won't get under.

GK < Larrain: Unstable vs. After the first hit, it'll flop around and hit the top of GK's bot.

Rolo > LLB: I can't see LLB's bot that well so I'll just give it to the better built bot.

Powerrave < SD: Wedge

Joeblo > Pwn: Two popups on a team is a very good strategy to use, especially when there are no HS.

Post by: JoeBlo on March 01, 2010, 07:54:03 PM
mines are wammers 40707, its only thing I am allowed to do with Lil Dog's chassis

4 Z-Tek drive, the fronts have 8 razors, a ramplate, green snapper wedge with a ice pick/ pick axe on it.
Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Spash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Sage on March 01, 2010, 07:57:01 PM
My bot has 4wd...
Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Spash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Jack Daniels on March 01, 2010, 08:52:35 PM
Ripblade Revamped - Badnik
Dear God it is going to be unstable... Part of me is glad that I am facing this bot first... the other part of me fears the unpredictable-ness of flailing, out of control, vertical spinners. With my fat (tee hee) chassis, there is a very good chance that Badnik's bot could pull off a chaotic win.

Backyard Gut-Ripper - Clickbeetle
If Firebeetle had made it... the wedges would move :P Honestly, I think it looks o.k.  But probably could have stood to have more weaponry.

Ripblade EVOLVED - Doomkiller
Dual chained Vertical Spinner balancing on one wedge? I have a gut feeling it is going to get manhandled quite a bit.

Smatom Asher - G.K.
Solid looking bot... Why the exposed face though?  With that fast drive it may approach opponents a bit too fast and cause more harm to itself than necessary.  A ramplate would have made this solid bot a contender in my opinion.

Hellbringer's Cousin - Jack Daniels
Cookie to the person that can name the album that I got my "Big Boy"image from.  PhiletBabe probably would get it... but he's not around much these days.
Oh, and thanks for the compliment Scrap. :D

Metal Mutts - JoeBlo
Oh man those little things are going to be annoying... Not sure about fatal though.

Rip and Bleed - Larrain
The razors are not going to hold up well at all.  Cool idea though, but very fragile setup.

Ripblade - Little Lost Bot
A pretty impressive entry from LLB.  I like it. though... pickaxes suck hard.

OverPoweredSnowJob - Powerrave
Awesome! I think it will win a match or two. It certainly will do some damage.

Stinger Missle - Pwnator
Wait! that is not a stock chas- ...  *stares*  Oh dammit Pwn! Why do you have to be so awesome?  I'm going home.

L1TT13 M3T4L FR13ND v2.0 - R0B0SH4RK
Oooooo... look at that!  Very well built.  If it wins the tourney...will it be the first time a trapper has been crowned champ?

Trappor - Rolo
Nicely done Rolo. I fear that some of the weaknesses of the bot will be evident in the matches.  But who cares... Rolo is in tourneys again!*applause*

BackScratch - Sage
Amazing! it will be impossible to beat this bot.  It is solid and well-crafted in every way.  (Pick to win)

Ali - Scrap Daddy
"Floats like a butterfly... Stings like a frickin' ass load of axes and razors!!!1!!"

Coal gRINDER - Sparkey
Probably wont fare well... But is a great effort. We still need to getyou on the path of building to the weight limit because if I can get 32irons spinning on that chassis... you could have gotten more on yours. Good job though.

RustWall - Squirrel_Monkey
It's really ugly... But awesome in an ugly way. I have decent hopes for this bot and hope it wins a match.
Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Spash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on March 02, 2010, 09:07:47 PM
I never said you were emo. I said that your robot will be less durable than my grandmother's china collection :P

Your weapons have a total of 3000 hp. By comparison, Sparkey's bot has 8000 hp of weaponry, and it is the next weakest. Long story short, even Sparkey wil out-gun you >.<

Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Spash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Jack Daniels on March 02, 2010, 09:16:55 PM
Don't worry Larrain. You have a ton of potential. Also, bear in mind... there is always the possibility of upsets. As you practice you will get better. :D
Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Spash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 02, 2010, 09:35:36 PM
Doomkiller vs. Squirrel_Monkey:
RustWall is too front-heavy for Ripblade Evolved to flip.  Ripblade gets out-weaponed and S_M wins.


Sage vs. R0B0:
May the best wedge win.


Me vs. Sparkey:
I think I'm pretty sure I'm almost positive Barring a miracle, I can win this.


Jack Daniels vs. Badnik:
Hellbringer's Cousin will rip off Ripblade's wedges and it will start a-tumbling.  At that point anything can happen but my money's on JD.


GK vs. Larrain:
Rip and Bleed can get some good hits on that exposed chassis, but probably not enough before Smatom Asher takes off the stabilizers on R&B (see what I did there?).  The weapons will be quick to follow.


Rolo vs. LLB:
Hard to call.  Rolo's bot is better, but it will be feeding its hammers right into Ripblade2's weapon.  It will come down to who gets the first lucky extender hit.


powerrave vs. Scrap Daddy:
Ali is more overpowered than Overpowered SnowJob.  Barring a miracle, Scrap will win.


JoeBlo vs. Pwnator:
Too close to call.  It will depend on how much damage the Metal Mutts can do.

Post by: Rolo on March 04, 2010, 10:13:55 AM
Oh no. I sent in the wrong version like I was afraid. The arm of this Trappor is only just long enough to hit what's on the wedges. I'm screwed.

Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Spash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on March 22, 2010, 11:42:45 PM
no he hasn't been online

possibly from one of the 2 options...

1) Australian school terms have 1 - 2 weeks left = loads of work, assignments, etc due in and probally tests to do also

or

2) his new internet connection was soon to be set up so he may not have the old one until then.. (if hes joined Telstra they are bulk slow and organizing) :P

Post by: Jack Daniels on March 23, 2010, 05:38:59 PM
3) He lost interest?

Not really likely. He followed through with Doomed Bots. He seems to like hosting tournaments. He is also BFF with Joe so I don't think he would just take off without warning.

Post by: Little lost bot on March 23, 2010, 09:39:50 PM
He can take as long as needed in my opinion if he held and finished a tournament then he will finish this one unless something happened.

Take as long as needed Doom.

Welcome back Doom! Glad to see this tourney is up and running again. I am looking forward to my match against Badnik (who seems to be my arch-rival in tournaments... Don't we have to face each other every bracket?)  :P

Great matches so far.  Your recording quality is superb!

predictions

R0B0 > Doom - I think those plows will go to fast against a side hammer
JD > Click - close call here but I think the greater number of weapons will win
Rolo > GK -  another hard to predict one... I think those pole spikes will take the heat from GK's weapons
Me > Scrap - scrap could win pretty quick but if the mutts work as a team they could take the win... but since this prediction is ridged I say me :P

Roboshark vs Sage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXXWaHGFx7I) ***
Battle of the century? was a little boring and long, but alot of razor tips on the arena floor at the end of each match. Might surprise some on who one


Looks like the radius is interfering with the AI's driving.  By default, the AI stops when a bot is in their radius, so they won't push the opponent unless the radius is small.  But there's a quick fix for that.  Open Tactics.py, find class Engage and look for this line:


Code: [Select]

            # try to get within range of chassis...
            if self.ai.GetDistanceToID(self.target_id) > self.ai.fRadius \
                and not self.ai.RobotInRange(self.target_id)[1]:
                self.ai.DriveToLocation(target)


and replace it with this:


Code: [Select]
            # try to get within range of chassis...

            if not self.ai.RobotInRange(self.target_id)[1]:
                self.ai.DriveToLocation(target)


Didn't seem to be an issue in any other matches though.  Good fights, and good quality filming.  It was awesome when Backyard Gut-Ripper picked up and flung all those bricks behind it  :mrgreen:

@Clickbeetle: Ah yes, thanks for that, shall do it now

@Joe: Thanks for fixing the link for me, I was probably just relieved to get that 170+mb vid up, I didn't relize the mistake I had made :P
 
Edit: Forgot to say this, but I won't be able to upload vids for a bit. That last vid tipped me over my download limit (allthough I have downloaded gmod not long ago too) and when my internet speed goes back up... I'll be down the coast so yeah. Might have to wait for a bit guys...

Sorry guys that things havn't been coming as smooth as I would hope for, but I have just been busy IRL

Hopefully, I will get one or two vids up today ( I will try what acams suggested )

Predos:

Doom < R0B0: The Side hammer will have those plows off, then it's just a matter of catching up to the mad thing.
Click > JD: Close, but I think Click's gutripping abilities will have it.
Me > Rolo: I think I'll get under Rolo and hit under the pole spikes. But I'm biased.
Joe < Scrap: All depends on the wedge of Ali. I think Scrap will win.

Well, someone did it right on the strategy choice...

I also LOLed when i saw that WTF ? when a Metal Mutt was attacking the wall rather than Ali... so fitting XD
Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: JoeBlo on June 19, 2010, 12:21:56 PM
lol yeah pretty much no average stock robot has 360 degrees of defense except HS's.. and no one could build a good one in this tourney with the range stock AI offers
Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on June 19, 2010, 12:47:31 PM
There are a few LW's whose chassis would serve a HS well, but this was also a realistic tourney, so that basically rules out most HS. Come to think of it though, a realistic SnS could be made from Arc Pounder...

I'm glad no one did.

There are a few LW's whose chassis would serve a HS well,

not in this format though.. I mean there is spin bonker, tornado and the axe HS thing that basically spin bonker =P nothing to work with since types had to be kept the same

Aw man, I'm against the Metal Mutts next.  I have a feeling they're going to be trouble.  I'm confident I have at least a 50/50 chance against any other bot in this tourney... but the Mutts are going to be trouble.

Hey, that's music from Sonic Spinball, isn't it?  I used to play that back in the day... brings back memories.  I remember I came this close || to beating the final level, but never managed to pull it off.  It was a hard game.


Oh, and good matches too.  I really thought

Funny thing is, Backscratch is AI'ed with Flipper :P]

Title: Re: Stock's Revenge Splash, Brackets and Vids
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on August 16, 2010, 12:23:50 PM
Nope. If you do, it creates the potential for some bizzarre rock-paper-scissors scenario if you beat CB, thus simultaneously having three bots that are 1-1 against the other two :O

And the losers bracket here was a consolation bracket for the first round losers (HAHA YOU'RE A FIRST ROUND LOSER :P), not a traditional loser bracket. Notice Scrap, Pwn and Joe were all outright eliminated after their losses?

Good match R0B0, the wedge battle was a little dicey there; I'm just lucky BYGR managed to find a way to slip under you both matches.  Round 2 was very close.


Also, I haven't won more tournaments this week than you in 5 years... we're tied.  This is my first tournament win.  :mrgreen:   But you still have more 2nd places.
