I should've entered

Oh so it's finally up. Hope it can still get done in time.

So that's what Redace and 090901's bots were made for.
The first version of Snowy did very well in testing, outwedging everything, however during the different versions the wedge got worse somehow to the point where even the very first one didn't have any good one.
Think a version also had the Flamethrowers completely inside the bot but that was changed so they have a better fire angle(the hitbox for flames seems to be smaller than the actual projectile), big thanks to apanx for the better AI file which makes sure that it won't get hit sideways while waiting for the other bot to get counted out.
Because the wedges are such a mess now(as well as most bots having great side protection), I doubt that this bot will get far, also the N12's look rather slim here for some reason.

[Hi5er]

Recording has begun, but I am still struggling with two of the entries.

I have requested help in the AI forum.

[R01]

Eternalsnowy? That's the AI name but the Bot is actually Snowy 1.0, don't mind keeping it however.

Its not hard to change, when I update the scores and brackets I'll amend it :)

[Hi5er]

Right. Round 1 has been uploaded!

14 matches recorded tonight and the brackets updated with the results of rounds 1 and 2. Round 2 video to follow.

Bots like Big Disc Club have the AI attack radius lower so it first sets down before starting to spin up(don't worry, this radius is just for spinning up the first time, after that the bot will keep on spinning and never slow down), it lost more that way but could've also been more of a crawler.

Yeah it's definitely a shame. Fracture warned me that it sometimes happened with the AI he supplied, but what can you do?

I also thought it was funny how the match with a couple of the other bots went, yours for example, where he got shunted out almost instantly.

Almost finished editing round 2 in other news.

I mean...I didn't send you any AI lines and specifically suggested lowering the radius for when you do it, but it's been fun to watch anyway.

[Hi5er]

Ah apologies. I normally set spinning weapons to 99 so they're on all the time, so I set yours to 50, apparently not low enough!

I did say I take no responsibility for poor performance if you leave the Ai up to me!

But it's not over yet, every bot plays each bot twice, so still plenty of matches for you to pick up points.

Round 2 is being uploaded to youtube as we speak and rounds 3 and 4 have been recorded, just need to edit them down, some surprises in there tonight!

[Hi5er]

Round 2 is added to the videos section!

[09090901]

technically redace only lost one wedge war, so i'd consider this a win for him

Well he is winning at the moment, so we'll see either way! Just as a side note... I've been impressed with your bot so far. Great Wedge and the way it damages everything is really nice.

So why did Hammer Time get 6 spoints va big disk club when everyone else got 3?

[Hi5er]

So why did Hammer Time get 6 spoints va big disk club when everyone else got 3?

Because he has now played him twice. He won both times so 3 points on each occasion.

ohh I get it

[Hi5er]

Round 3 is up!

[Badger]

Still Sucks is such a cool bot.

Hi5er, you should really try to record in 1080p and not use bandicam. 2003 resolution and a big watermark es no bueno

[Silverfish]

I would say I seriously regret entering Hydrogen, but I'll wait until I get a matchup I can win to say that XD
Also, what was with the spinning? What AI is it using?
