Super Duper Sumos-SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED

[Naryar]

Good, now send it to me :P

i'll have to skin it and add that super unnecessary but awesomely cool custom component before.

[Conraaa]

Only for me to turn around and deny it due to it having a custom component.
I know it was a bit ambiguous in the rules due to me not mentioning it, but I thought DSL meant "No custom components" unless otherwise specified.

Pretty sure Kid_Krusher's bot was a (horribly underweight) MW, not a BW...

Good call, Batman. I'll fix that later.

Would you really think I would buff up my bot with cheat parts ? I just wanna put a sound chip (or the equivalent thereof, probably a free-spinning, super-light, small motor)) into it so it makes sound.

[Conraaa]

Rules are rules, but if you want i'll put the soundclip in the video when appropriate.

It would have been easier for you to just setup the custom component, but you make the rules. I'll send the short music clip with the bot then.

I think this kid is LRA2/Avalanche double accounting, based on the typing style.

I had no bloody clue about this guy as I practically left GTM for a month or so and now just lurk around, showcasing when i can be bothered to etc.
And frankly i find him such a idiot i challenge him to a DSL HW challenge.I will send him details when I can be bothered.

[Conraaa]

Less than 2 weeks now to get entries in!
However if you're waiting for the apocolypse to pass to build and send your robots then I don't blame you in the slightest.

[Avalanche]

I have entered all brackets other than tag team.Just so you all know.

[boombabyboom]

i may enter tag team

-Winner will be the first robot to leave the arena edge, as judged by me.

Wait... What?

[Conraaa]

For crying out loud, now you question it.

Let's just forget Two Tribes ever happened. Is everyone ok with me judging matches by eye? And tell me if these are stupid rules as I wrote them when I was tired.

SIGNUPS CLOSE 25TH DECEMBER

You know that part in weddings where the guy goes "Speak now or forever hold your peace"? It's the same reason I carried on regardless. No one questioned it.

Basically, the arena doesn't know who goes off of the arena first. It only knows who goes furthest down in the Z-axis and hits the zone where the robot is declared OOTA first. I will judge it by whoever leaving the arena floor fully first losing, regardless of who goes into this out zone first. You know, like a sumo match. If you leave the arena to do the judging then if both robots go off of the arena at roughly the same time, then the one that "Won" by my eye could have "Lost" as it hit the out zone first.

[d-lark]

I am fine with you judging things by eye, I noticed that during my testing, that if one bot pushed another off, but fell off as well and hit the ground first it lost, even though it did the entirety of the work in removing the other bot from the arena area.

[Avalanche]

What happens if the wheels grip the side and makes it fly up?Will it be allowed to continue? And also if that happens I have a bad feeling it might actually make the AI suddenly charge and miss.Just my opinion, might not happen.Probably won't.

[Conraaa]

In which case it sucks for them, but there's not much I can do.
And we all know the ai is inherantly stupid at times, that's what makes tabletop matches more fun!

But the first one who goes over the edge wins? Or the first one to go over the edge loses?

I don't care if you judge it by eye, but I think you worded that wrong.

[Conraaa]

I did, Fixed. Reading things properly is for queers anyway

[martymidget]

Anyway to edit the arena.py so the OOTA zone is just below the actual arena floor?

[Mr. AS]

Anyway to edit the arena.py so the OOTA zone is just below the actual arena floor?

yes
find something like this in the .py

Code: [Select]

    def Tick(self):
        for each in self.players:
            if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < 1.5:
                plus.eliminatePlayer(each)       
        return Arenas.SuperArena.Tick(self)edit 1.5 to the exact place you want bots to be "eliminated" at

[Kid_Krusher13]

Am I still in the tourney,or did I get DQ'd?

[Conraaa]

There aren't any stupid questions, but that was bloody close.
Look at the original post. You're still there.
