While we wait, does anyone have any ideas for awards?

I had a few before I started, but none are suited to a 4-bot tourney. I am more or less looking for ideas for awards that aren't Best Bot or Coolest Bot or any Bot based awards. More like Best Match (which is an award), or others.

The worst design and weapon system, an finally the BTSHDBBDDTRRRRRRRRBL(Bot That Should Have Done Better But Didn't Due To Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Bad Luck)

Well I do not think the second award would work, becuse there are not enough bots.
And the first award is not even worth putting up to vote, because we all know who would win...

Preytor_4 · « **Reply #85 on:** August 11, 2010, 02:46:41 PM »

You mean BTSHDBBDDTRRRRRRRRBL or The worst weapon system

Somebody · « **Reply #86 on:** August 11, 2010, 03:25:03 PM »

Huge acronym - Not enough bots

Worst weapons - Anklebiter v2.0 easily.

Preytor_4 · « **Reply #87 on:** August 11, 2010, 03:28:42 PM »

Yeah i agree

Somebody · « **Reply #88 on:** August 11, 2010, 03:39:52 PM »

I am giving some serious thought to just cancelling the awards altogether. I probably will not cancel them though, there just will not be a lot of them. (In this tournament, everyone wins

)

Most surprising attack in a match?
Worst/best AI driving?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #90 on:** August 12, 2010, 04:07:11 AM »

you dont need many.. I made like 2 for UK vs USA

Best Replica (you could adapt it)
Unluckiest (will be me when the arena rapes me in the final XD)

Well there may not be a final Joe.

Yesterday my main computer with all of my RA2 crashed. I don't know what is wrong with it, but my mom is going to try to fix it today when she gets home from work (shes good with computers).

On a good note, nearly all of my bots are backed up, besides a few recent ones, but all of them have been sent to people for tournaments. The problem is, Kraizee (especially the one from our first match that I was going to mod to beat yours) is not backed up. The original bot from NAR AI is though, so if I had to I would rebuild that.

I do not know what is causing the problems. The computer was making a clicking noise when I tried to open Firefox yesterday afternoon, and it wouldn't open. When I clicked firefox again, it completely froze. My mom (shes good with computers) tried to system restore it, it wouldn't restore, and now it doesn't get past the Dell logo when turning on (won't turn on in safe mode either). We haven't been able to get it to restore lately anyways, and we always got an error that says "Restore failed, no changes made" or something like that.

Does anybody know what causes that error? Would it be something like the virus software telling it not to, or would it be something out of our control, or what?

So for now, this tournament is postponed indefinitely.

The tourney bug strikes again...

Have you tried techguy support?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #93 on:** August 12, 2010, 09:52:09 AM »

Yes!!! I win the final via last computer standing!! :P

joking aside I hope you get it all fixed

Somebody · « **Reply #94 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:01:16 AM »

@G.K. Not yet it just happened yesterday and I was busy all day. No time for phone calls. Last time they took like 3 days and it cost us $129. Good ol Dell tech support.

Anyways, my mom is going to try to make a recovery disc and see if it will work in the computer, but I doubt it because this doesn't sound like a virus to me. Most of our stuff on the computer (pictures, documents, etc.) are backed up, but I know a place where we can get all of that stuff off its it a dead hard drive.

Not sure what to do about this. My only real idea if I had to end this would be to declare Joe the winner. Pyromania is much better than Kraizee, and even I predict it to win, so if I lose everything, JoeBlo wins.

But, there is still a chance it could be saved. So Joe, you still have until Saturday to send me your bot for the next round.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #95 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:10:36 AM »

hmm so I forget to send and you cant build... then who wins ? :P

I will try and finish up something tomorrow, if in doubt I am happy to help you out with the final video but we shall wait and see the fate of your computer you have a few weeks to try and sort it all

G.K. · « **Reply #96 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:22:17 AM »

techguy support is a website. Both I and Reier have used it in the past.

Somebody · « **Reply #97 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:26:10 AM »

Oh I'll check that out.

freeziez · « **Reply #98 on:** August 12, 2010, 10:30:41 AM »

So sorry Somebody, hope it gets fixed soon.

And on another note: Why is it that now I learn about building skills! This is what my bot could have turned out to be:

Live and learn. Now next time you enter, you'll do better
