Awesome, this is gonna be a really good tournament, judging by some of the names that have cropped up.

I think I might have a chance of going quite far, depending on the draw.

I think Bulldozer may have a very good chance in this, assuming that its the DSL Tourney arena.
Should be a great tourney

I'm hoping my bots aren't total failures. Their wedges are actually better than a lot of my bots.

Thanks. :)

I'll put a download up later.

For now, though, I'm looking through the bots and making the splashes. I checked Vertigo's stock bot and it crashed my game. D:

EDIT: And the link broke for Noodle's and SKBT's bots.

I figured you had downloaded my bot a long time ago, so I took the file of my site.  I'll have it up again when I get home in a few hours.

The bot I used for stock is one I have already showcased, so if you can beat anything in my showcase you're good to go. :gawe:

Title: Re: The Best Bot Builder - Brackets, Vids, Awards and other stuff!
Post by: NFX on November 07, 2010, 12:18:05 PM
In honesty, my Stock wedges are probably relatively bad. And even my DSL wedges will probably not be that great. I might be able to outwedge a couple of people, but I do not have high hopes at all.

Predictions:
SM: Looks deadly, may well go far
J24: No wedges? Will probably fail, sorry J24, but  :SFTW
NFX: Looks good, may also do well
Pwn: Awesome, will most probably win
VB: Awesome design, VSs don't have the greatest history however
Me: I know its atleast half-decent, should get past atleast round one, not too sure after that however  :gawe:
Stag: Not bad, horribly exposed front though
JoeBlo: Interesting, not too sure about this
090901: Looks well built, again not too sure about how effective the design will be
SKBT: Horrible Exposed front, if the wedges are good, it may do well however
MM: Looks good, not too sure how effective the design will be
Ounce: Will obviously do well, second place
Somebody: Very destructive...
GK: Looks... different, really don't know how this will do

Title: Re: The Best Bot Builder - Brackets, Vids, Awards and other stuff!
Post by: The Ounce on November 16, 2010, 07:25:24 PM
I'm bored, so I'll post my thoughts and predictions:

Tyrogue: Average 36-mace HS, but it has front armor which will definitely help against some of its opponents.

Unknown Identity 16: Well-armored, and seems to have enough weaponry, so how well it does will come down to how good its wedges are.

Iron Filings: Apart from the funky wedge extender work, it looks pretty well built.  'Tis a shame it lost already.

The Emergency Twins: If they're just ordinary wedges or flippers then they won't do well at all.  If they're popups then they actually have a chance at some of the competition.

MissingNo.: The same strengths and weaknesses as Revenge of Dr. Wham: Excels in offensive power but has low armor and speed.  If it actually has 4WD then it's a lot better.

Nuclear Fallout: I'm sure you all know about this already.  However, something weird happened a few weeks ago where it couldn't even get under Seism 13, even though I hadn't modified the bot at all in the past 6 months O_o.  Since then this has cleared up... at least I hope.

Halestorm 5: Nice armor configuration, and from what I've seen it has good wedges as well.  I look forward to facing this and seeing if it can become the new wedge god.

RY3NO: It failed in RAW 2, but now with 2 of them and less opponents it needs to focus on, it should fare better than it did before.

Chernobyl Mk. 4: Another 36 HS, and I can't think of much else to say.

Hot Wheels: Will definitely do well, but who knows?  It might meet some tough competition along the way.    ;)

Burned Alive: I like the design, but will get torn apart by any decent HS (which is pretty much all those in this tournament).

Shaver BX2: One of the more creative designs, but I've seen how it did in BTTB and I don't think it will do better here.

Nosferatu: I'll give credit to VB because VSs aren't entered in stock tourneys enough, but there's a reason why, and sadly that reason is evermore present in this tournament.

Generic Popup: It isn't as generic because a lot of popups nowadays have more front armor and little or no side armor.  Though if what Shishka said is true then it won't really matter.

Noodle's bot: One of the more heavily armored jugglers I've seen, but I'm not sure of the wedges.



Round 1 Match Predictions:

Nuclear Fallout over Chernobyl Mk. 4 - If Nuclear Fallout can easily beat the 36 HSs of BBEANS and Inf AI, then it shouldn't have trouble with this one.

Halestorm 5 over Noodle's juggler - The wedges on the juggler (can't remember the name but I'm sure it was given somewhere) don't look good from this point of view, and NFX has spent more time perfecting his wedges, so...

Hot Wheels over Generic Popup - From what SKBT said and because Pwn somehow always does well in tournaments.

Nosferatu over The Emergency Twins - Being a multibot is the only advantage the E-Twins have over Nosferatu; they don't like they will do enough damage, if at all, to it.

Tyrogue over RY3NO: Really unlucky matchup for JB, pitted against a 36 HS out of 14 other opponents that it had a much better chance of beating.

Burned Alive over Unknown Identity 16 - Burned Alive's wedges just look better to me.

MissingNo. over Shaver BX2 - I just don't trust the wedge on G.K.'s bot, but then again MissingNo.'s wedges look short enough that it might have a chance.
Title: Re: The Best Bot Builder - Brackets, Vids, Awards and other stuff!
Post by: Somebody on November 16, 2010, 08:34:08 PM
And once again I will lose to Ounce >.<

Thats what I get for sending Chernobyl.

P.S., just so everyone remembers, thats the Chernobyl with the non-AGOD maces. Spins way faster, just that isn't enough though most likely to beat a popup like Ounce's. And my DSL bot is underpowered and outdated. I'm screwed here.

yeah I know.. its nearly always the case in stock... it just takes some generic robot to rape the creative ones... though I have hopes after BFR duo beat AC once...

kinda why I build mostly in DSL now.. you can make more original robots that can take it to generic ones..

Post by: Naryar on November 17, 2010, 05:11:51 AM
PREDICTIONS

Tyrogue: Nonstandard 36-HS with a ramplate. Will fail against the first good popup it meets.

UI16: The wedge looks like it's not good

Iron Fillings: One of my favorites, sadly not that good

J24: :SFTW:

Stagfish: It doesn't looks very good, but i might be wrong.

Nuclear Fallout: I'm going to guess it's good

Halestorm 5 : Depends on wedges.

RY3NO: Will fail again :trollface

Chernobyl MK 4: See Tyrogue.

Hot Wheels: Is that a winner I see ?

Burned Alive: My favorite bot design-wise, sadly not that good compared to others. I hope it fairs well still

Shaver BX^2: Will fail quickly

Nosferatu: Looks cool and good. Probable top 5

Generic Popup: Not generic with razors acting as wheelguards :P I'm going to guess it's the weapon rack but still... Depends of wedges, yet again.

Tee hee hee, many unsuspecting people about what Ry3no does... also its a mulibot.. there is just one on the splash ??

Hahaha. :P

What is a mulibot ?

Oh, and basically what it does: randomly jumps across the arena, gets bumped by the other bot, fails.

Hope it will at least fail in an entertaining way

I just don't trust the wedge on G.K.'s bot,

You may be suprised. It could outswedge most of the central wedges bots in BTTB.

that was because other robots interfered with the smart-zones in Raw 2

in a 2 vs 1 situation they should flank other robots well.. except when facing generic HS robots..

Nuclear Fallout: I'm going to guess it's good
It has the best wedges in all of stock, so of course it's good.

Disputed, although highly likely.

I never finished testing if TrippeR 7 did consistently outwedge it or whether the times it did were flukes. I think Nuclear Fallout is better, but I'm not sure.

And they say I'm arrogant...

Bah. One of these days I'll challenge you to a wedge battle, and WIN this time :P

I've never really got the hang of wedges in Stock, to be honest. I'll just be happy if I at least put up a fight.

I don't think Iron filings done too badly for a 3 month old bot that was made when I was just getting the hang of stock again xD (I shall have to rebuild it!:P)

On the subject of wedges, when someone said to me a while back in my showcase about the original Soulreaver (my first ever stock popup and the one in the top right of my sig) that grannies make wedges worse, I have yet to make a bot that consistently outwedges it D: Stock be weird, it be.

I know my wedges are sucky, and since most of this hinges on wedges that means I'm proper screwed.

Stock is essentially a wedge war. A popup with excellent wedges and well-placed armour is basically going to win.

And Sage says DSL sucks because of the so called "dominance" of wedges...

Excuse me while i laugh !

Post by: JoeBlo on November 18, 2010, 01:53:45 AM
these is easily a larger range of wedge-less designs in DSL they can take down the best wedge robots..

I kinda grew tired of stock because so matter what original thing I built it would get raped by the best wedged pop up or HS (which you get to see a nice demo in this tournament)

Basically true. There's a greater variety of building techniques, seeing as how we have free roam with all the glitches and such, but it's kinda boiled down to armoured popups and 36HS, at least in the HW division. It's more or less a case of who can outwedge or outweapon the other.

If I had known that people would spam popups and HSes, I would've entered another bot (most likely a VS hybrid). I just wanted to enter Hot Wheels into an official tourney, so yeah. :P

What would everyone have entered if not there chosen bot?
I would have entered Mercury Monkey

Now that I just remembered that Stengah is part popup, I probably would've entered Core Drill.

I don't know what I would have entered. Probably a klone of something. Or Pyramid Scheme, just for the lolz.

I have 2 weeks off at Christmas so I'll record a load of videos then.

Any updates?
I think almost 2 months is a enough to get more the one video done, even if you have a lot of HW, you should still be able to find time over a period of 2 months to get videos uploaded.

Post by: Gazea2 on December 26, 2010, 08:59:05 AM
Yes, they are. Sorry but Christmas is more important than uploading some videos onto a website. Also, I've been ill lately. I'm not gonna sacrifice my health to film a couple of videos.

They will be posted soon, though.
