Post by: Badnik96 on June 28, 2010, 08:59:02 AM

I should have entered, Your bots look pretty good (except for Freeziez and TX)

PREDICTIONS
Call of the Wild- Well, it's in NAR AI so of course it's good.
World War II- They're OK but I can se this team losing to a better team.
Freeze Pops- wat. The LW doesn't even have a weapon...
Team Pwn- Will do what the name implies.
All Hallows Eve- Nice theme, Cool skins (and the chassis on the MW) but I can't really see this taking home a victory in Round 1.
Bash em' up- The MW's motors are exposed to any good undercutter or popup, but the rest of the team is OK.
Coleoptera- What does the LW do? Is it just a pusher? The other bots are as usual, excellent.
Ogre's Lair- You should get Ogre to sign up. His bots are decent for a newbie.
Team S_M- The LW and MW are good but the HW? I have doubts...
Team Ounce- No doubts this team will go far.
Team Plasma- the DSL Minesweeper is starting to get boring, GK. The others are OK.
Anonymous- WTF is with the LW? MW is OK and that SnS might be really unstable.
TTT10MTM- None of these bots are really good, I see a fail DSL Borg Queen with PIGLETS FOR DRIVE
Statues of Christ- For a bye team it's pretty decent.

4 tournaments may be all it gets in, it seems. I'm plotting new DSL MW's now I broke builders block.

Post by: G.K. on June 28, 2010, 10:32:51 AM

I know. I wasn't intending for it to be. I was entering it as it was my best bot. But DoA and Enigma 2 (That's right!) are better now. You'll see no more of the original one.

Post by: The Ounce on June 28, 2010, 06:53:19 PM

Really my team should be Team Uncia, but I'm seeing a nice variety here.

Thoughts (why are you guys calling them predictions if you're not really predicting anything?):

Call of the Wild:  They all look good apart from the LW which sacrifices weaponry for wedginess.

World War II: Look good but I somehow worry about the MW...

Freezepops: Well, at least they look like designs that would be made in real life…

Team Pwn: Deadly bots, but I still wonder if that is too much weight on the Dual Perm.

All Hallows Eve: Good-looking team apart from the MW.

Bash ‘em Up:  Decent bots, but I’m not sure about the wedge on the HW and unless the MW has enough battery power, that Perm is going to be spinning slowly.  BTW Bubbleman, it's "tertiary".

Coleoptera: I don't understand the LW, but the MW and HW look promising.

The Ogre’s Lair: Not bad but that is a pretty exposed front on the MW.

Team S_M: The flipper could have had more flipping power, and the HW more weapons, but that true popup is something I have to watch out for in the first round.

Team Uncia: If all goes well, then the LW should survive for some time.  I mostly have to worry about my bots getting flanked.

Team Plasma:  The LW and MW may be troublesome, but if the HW is still using the same fail bindings then it might not last long.

Anonymous: The LW sucks and the HW might be too unstable, but the MW has potential.

Team That Took 10 Minutes to Make: I can't find a lot to say except: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ge4_0jF2nc# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ge4_0jF2nc#)

Statues of Christ: That actually looks decently built for a bye team…

Title: Re: Survival of the Fittest Brackets/splash/videos/predictions all that.
Post by: S.T.C. on June 28, 2010, 07:09:46 PM

Here's a fact: The LW is the only original bot from the Anonymous, I planned on changing it but I suffered massive builders block, specially while making the HW, the original HW had a big chassis and the MW had so much fail, Temporary Insanity was an attempt at Second Sunrise that took a different turn.

Also, I doubt that some people won't figure out what A.S.O.M. means =P

What fail bindings? It beat out Crosswind with them!

Title: Re: Survival of the Fittest Brackets/splash/videos/predictions all that.
Post by: The Ounce on June 29, 2010, 01:28:55 AM

I'm fine with using FBS.py, but giving it to a bar-SnS and setting the spinspeed to a low value is a dumb idea.

PREDICTIONS !

CotW: The LW is... okay, i really should have entered something else than that fail MW but i love the HW and i think it can fair well.

World War 2: The LW is decent as well, i still don't like that MW and the HW looks good enough.

Freezepops: :SFTW

Team Pwn: Quite certainly one of the best teams here. I'm not too sure about the LW though.

All Hallow's Eve: The LW and MW i am not sure. The HW looks good enough.

Bash'em Up: The LW is a KLONE, the MW is meh and the HW as well. Not bad, but not a bunch of exceptional fighters as far as i can see...

Coleoptera: I think none of us got the LW - how is this going to win any match exactly ? Kheper will probably get his arm ripped off soon, and i love the HW excepted that it doesn't looks vry wedgy.

The Ogre's Lair: Pretty decent builds (Emobot made me laugh) but the HW doesn't looks like a really efficient bot unless it has good wedges. It's an interesting design though.

Team S_M: Again that popup ?? The MW i'm not sure about flipping power, and i still don't trust the HW.

Team Ounce: Flipjack 4 looks well built, but can it fair well in combat ? The MW... i don't know exactly, but Volcanic Upbringing is quite fragile.

Team Plasma: The LW looks decent enough if not super generic, the MW isn't even good :P and the HW... well probably spins too slowly for it's sake.

Anonymous: LW is quite clearly fail, MW is decent enough i guess and the HW... i like it, but is it good ?

TTT10MTM: Slight improvement over his last failbots... at least for the LW, but the MW = :fail: and that noob still visibly did not get that piglet drive = :fail:

Statues of Christ: Yeah, that's pretty decent for a bye team :P At least it'll eliminate the SFTW teams.

as far as I can tell its a passive robot... designed to basically not die and nothing else.. I guess the hope is for other robots to minimize the competition as much as possible so there is less work for his later robots

Click's LW looks like a dummy. I'm not sure if it can take a beating from 3 LWs, though. If 123 entered Star Dust, this would've been toast in less than a minute. Then again, 30 seconds might be the only time it needs to stall. XD

And I haven't tested Accretion Disk 2 yet, so I'll have to leave everything up to Erasure. XD

PREDICTIONS ! (okay, okay, no predictions, but COMMENTS)

CotW: LW: could probably do with more weaposn, MW is cool, not sure about effectiveness, and the Heavyweight I love.   
 
World War 2: Lw fares pretty well in the test matches i've run, mw seems to have problems with self righting, and HW pretty decent at OOTA's.  It's also pretty damn tough   
 
Freezepops:   sorry, you persistant youngling, but i don't see this one going far.  But, points for having the only hammer bot in the tourney.  Also, I couldn't tell you this before everything became 'official' but...Don't use perms for drive, buddy.
   
Team Pwn: Accretion disk is NASTY in a good way.  watch this little guy.  MW is pretty solid, but HW has some stability issues.  All told, a solid team. 


All Hallow's Eve: Honestly, I just wanted to make a halloween team. I sacrificed a LOT for the MW.  But I HAD to have that chassis.   No real power here, 'cept maybe Samhain (Gluttony Jr.)   
 
Bash'em Up: decent little rammer, bizarre mw, i always think it's facing backwards. hw's not too bad, but probably hurt by the flail rule. 

Coleoptera: Flee Beetle!!! My favorite bot that  won't cause a single KO.  You really have to see it in action to fully appreciate it.  Kheper is cool, not sure about how well it'll fare, but i love the look of it and am rooting for it hard.  Gigawhirl, I think it's wedgier than it looks.   
 
The Ogre's Lair:  The absolute strangest names for bots.  I gotta say, i'm pretty proud of him for these.  LW: much better than his first one, i'll say that.  MW: I think it might suprise you.  but, it really depends.  I've seen it last all of 5 seconds and in one test match, it actually swept everything.  HW:  Honestly the star of this team, obviously depending on the wedge.   
 
Team S_M: LW: not a bad popup for sure. mw: solid flipper. HW:  Love the design, as i've said with other bots of this style.  but probably needs more weaponry. 

   Team Uncia: sorry about the name, I originally was asking everyone what they wanted, but forgot with a few of you.  Officially, it's now Team Uncia.  anway....LW: Nice flipper, probably won't fair well once the other lw's are out, but we'll see.  mw: decent hits and throwing.  HW: my second favorite bot of the tourney...that's all.   
 
Team Plasma: lw, fares pretty well and get's some quick ko's.  MW.  haven't ran it through any test matches, but pretty sure a step up from your original mw.  HW: Tough as nails, but has a tendency to get pinned.   
 
Anonymous:  LW: Doesn't score many KO's, but usually sticks around for awhile.  MW: Good build, should get some points for the team, HW..Not bad at all...   
 
 TTT10MTM: lw: a lot of the times, more a flipper than a rammer, and by that i mean it flips itself.  MW: zero invertiblity and no way to self right, like a turtle.  HW: I was actually hoping for a complex spinner to show up.  so :D.  However, weak weapons and piglet drive.  Sorry, bud, but it won't fare well.   
     
Statues of Christ:   quick, fun builds, that's all.  Also a way to pad out different bot types.  Since we have 3 heats needing bye teams, i might make two more.  I'm sure i could throw some together real quick.  On a personal note, Gumby Jesus came from "Christ of the Ozarks", the absolute creepiest Jesus statue i've ever seen.  Big Butter/Touchdown Jesus no longer exists after being struck by lightning, and my personal favorite jesus statue, Christ of the Abyss.  The only one I know of actually submerged in the ocean.

I predict the first round winners being Squirrel_Monkey, Pwnator, Clickbeetle, and Naryar (I say S_M rather than me because of his true popup and that his VS might punt my bots out of the arena).

What spinspeed number would you guys have?

its personal preference.... here is a guide on estimation

(10) transitional - - - - | - - - - stationary (20)

the more transitional movement the less spin speed (so a lower spin speed number)

so you sacrifice traditional movement if your drive is weaker

(10) transitional - - - - - - - | - stationary (20)

or if you want more movement or your robot is unstable at high speeds

(10) transitional - | - - - - - - - stationary (20)

just play with the values a bit... test your robot with fast gut rippers to find the best balance

The LW is a KLONE

GAH WHAT IS IT A KLONE OF???

Quote from: The Ounce

BTW Bubbleman, it's "tertiary".

Thanks.

Aaaaaany way...
Predictions!

CotW This LW is the worst LW of naryars i have ever seen. then again i haven't been lurking much:P. The MW looks OK, i guess it could be ok if it didnt get flipped, but the HW is hardcore! Prediction: Fourth

WWII The LW is looks good, but how many tourneys are you gonna enter it in!?!! the MW's spinner looks high, and the wedges are far apart, will it hit anything? But, again, the highlight of the team is the HW, it looks like it could do some damage. Prediction: out in group stages

Freezepops AHHHHH! THE EPIC FAILZ BURNEZ MY EYEZ!!! Prediction: Out first:P

Team Pwn I hope the team lives up to its name! the LW looks like it could win a match or two, the MW does look a bit worse, but the HW looks like it...*Giggles*... Pwns! Prediction: out in group stages

All hallow's eve It looks like it won't get far, the LW's disk looks like it will drag on the ground and havok, the MW looks like the flails are too short, and the HW looks like it doesn't have enough weapons. Prediction: out in group stages

Bash'em up i won't rate my own team. Also thanks for the name yoda!

Coleoptera CUTE FLEE BEETLE IS CUTE!!! MW is Kheper upgraded, the front armour looks better, but if he loses his weapons its game over... until Gigawhirl VI takes over! then again, lots of light but fradgile weapons may be a weak spot... Prediction: out in group stages

The Ogre's lair pretty good for a guy we haven't heard of yet, might do well. the LW shows you can make a reasonable S'n'S with 2 flails. Is the MW a Popup or a Whammer? if it's a popup it looks under-armoured, but it would be OK if it was a whammer. the HW looks ok, i can guess it's a popup, though it doesn't need to be invertible. Prediction: out in group stages

Team S_M The LW looks ok, a good true popup, but how will it do against all different kinds of robot? The MW looks good for a flipper, i fear it may be under powered. Also, BIG VS DRUM IS BIG!!! it looks under weaponed, it will not do well.
 Prediction: out in group stages

Team Ounce The LW looks like a good LW flipper, but is it wedgy enough? The MW looks good, the angled vs means one side is more exposed than the other i fear. The HW loks like is has enough armour to last a lifetime, but it looks under weaponed. Prediction: First

Team Plasma The LW looks very powerful for a true popup, will do well with that wedge. The MW looks... normal:P and the HW looks quite powerful, it has the potential to win (if the hammers don't come off XD). Prediction: Third

Anonymous The LW's shell looks too big for a LW, may be it's down fall. The MW looks good, and the weapons look heavy. the HW looks like SnSnSnSnS, the weapons look different though. it looks, again, like it could do some damage. Prediction: Runner up

TTT10MTM LW is rubbish, MW is rubbish, HW barely has the drive to move, and is rubbish! Prediction: Out second :P

Statues of Crist the LW looks like a pretty good flame pinner, but the plough is a bit weak. The MW looks under weaponed, will go out early...to make room fo the HW monster! I love the use of the hex plate instead of a shell. Prediction: Won't win, but will give a good try!


This will be a good tournament, 'twas a good idea of yours, Yoda.

The Ogre's lair pretty good for a guy we haven't heard of yet, might do well. the LW shows you can make a reasonable S'n'S with 2 flails. Is the MW a Popup or a Whammer? if it's a popup it looks under-armoured, but it would be OK if it was a whammer. the HW looks ok, i can guess it's a popup, though it doesn't need to be invertible.
Emobot is a VS.  The weapon rack is just extenders that spin with razors attached.
Dees Tabbif Lipper is...I guess a rammer/flipper hybrid.  functions more as a flipper with a static weapon rack on the bottom to do a bit of damage. 
 
 

Statues of Crist I love the use of the hex plate instead of a shell.
Thanks.  Just wanted to see how it'd work.  It might be an interesting prototype, but the current bot truly needs some work first.

This will be a good tournament, 'twas a good idea of yours, Yoda.
 
And thanks again :D
 

And by the way, expect the first heat to be posted sometime today (wednesday) barring any unfortunate incidents, or tomorrow if incidents occur

WWII The LW is looks good, but how many tourneys are you gonna enter it in!?!! the MW's spinner looks high, and the wedges are far apart, will it hit anything? But, again, the highlight of the team is the HW, it looks like it could do some damage. Prediction: out in group stages

MW's a Top Spinner.

ok, but seriously, will it hit anything with those wedges?!?? they look very far apart.
also, @ Yoda, i just saw the belt on emobot now, it was hard to spot when i first looked at it.

MW's a Top Spinner.

I guess it is a top spinner.  I considered it a hs because the way the weapons were facing.  I always think of top spinners having the weapons facing upwards.  And yes, it can hit, does so pretty well in fact.  Anyways, i'm off to build the last bye team and then start filming. 
 
EDIT: Bye teams are all built.  Splash is updated and now for the fun part.

I take back what i said about flipjack, btw.  It seems to do quite well against mw's and hw's as well.  Was beginning to wonder if it could be stopped.

Well that's the price you pay for getting consecutive KOs on me.  :P

Although I'm likely going to lose in the final; Pwn's and Nar's teams are too good (that is if they both make it into the final).

Hehehe, Flee Beetle worked exactly as planned and much better than expected.  I didn't even need to bring out my HW!

For those who are confused about Flee Beetle: the name says it all.  It just runs and hides and lets the other bots duke it out, and in the event that another bot attacks it, it's built to withstand a lot of punishment.  JoeBlo got it right: the goal is to survive as long as possible before I have to use my other bots, and hopefully by that time at least one team will be eliminated or weakened.


Also, the humor in the match videos is good, and the False Advertising bye team = win.  You should give them misleading preview pictures to complete the deception.

And that's why it's my favorite bot.  A strategy I didn't expect that works out pretty good for you. 
 
False Advertising...I sat here racking my brain trying to come up with a decent theme for them, but couldn't think of it.  Then that popped in my head, and voila.  And misleading preview pictures...Who's to say I didn't, hmmm? :P

Gonna edit it together after i relax for a few moments, then upload it.  So, sometime tonight it'll be live. 
 
Final heat will be up soon after that.  And, if you guys want a loser's bracket, I can do that as well. It'll go like this...Everyone who didn't make it to the finals, minus the Bye teams and my team.  That will give 8 to go through 2 heats.  The last two teams standing in each heat will go on to the final. 
 
But it's up to you guys if you want it.
 
EDIT: Annnd heat 4 is up.  Finals coming soon.

Good battle 090901, you caught Gigawhirl at a bad time and got it OOTA... if you hit it head-on it would've been a different story.  But then Dee Stabilf Lipper probably would have gotten behind me and flipped me OOTA... I needed a 360-degree wedge.


And I'm surprised Gigawhirl couldn't get under Enterprise.  Gigawhirl can get under most HW's in Nar AI (it has the best wedge out of all my bots, which is why I entered it.)
