Tricycle Takedown SBV

[R01]

any chance that the bot will be available for download/view of the insides? I've been trying to do a vertical spinner but having trouble with the floor height.

Sure thing.  Have at it:

Thanks but RA2(using 1.4) always crashes on import, am I missing the smartzones pack?

Yeah, it's using Mad's smartzones.  There should be a download somewhere on the forum (I'm too lazy to look for it on mobile  ),  that might be the issue.

Also, we are getting a bit off-topic, let's discuss this somewhere more appropriate.

Oh, as for a grudge match, can my bot go up against Disappointment Trike?

[R01]

Got it working now(finding the dl was a bit trouble(don't think it shows up only when you search for it), but I luckly found that one day earlier when trying to AI my own stuff).
Would love to see quite a lot of extra matches:
I'm not at all Serious vs Papyrus Bike vs Trikilla(already requested, joke bot melee)
Tastes like Spakle vs Late Night Aberration(battle of popups)
Tastes like Spakle vs Late Night Aberration vs Sealion Hammersmith vs Conundrum v6(battle of wedges)
Five Ideal Verbal Efforts Son vs Sealion Hammersmith
Five Ideal Verbal Efforts Son vs Conundrum v6(so we can do best of 3)
Disappointment Trike vs Weaponized ReInterverter(battle of spinners)

You don't have to do them all, pick the ones you'd like to do.

Five Ideal Verbal Efforts Son vs Conundrum v6(so we can do best of 3)

Uh, it was best of 3.  Did you see part 2 of the finale?

Anyway, glad you enjoyed watching the tournament.  Hope to see you enter one soon!

also i'll do some bonus rounds tomorrow or somethin i donno

[Hi5er]

Good games guys. Very shocked to see I won; I'll update my showcase with the insides of Conundrum shortly so everyone can see.

For additional matches:

I'd love to see my bot take on Sealion and Tastes like Sparkles - I don't mind hosting a few of these bonus matches if you want a hand Thrack?

I also built a 5 wheel drive rammer bot for this (would have been the only entry not using 3 wheels as well as it turns out!), my thoughts were, simple weapon, insane drive power... In the end I opted to enter Conundrum instead...

Glad I did!

Be interesting to see how he would have fared though!

Hey, that gives me an idea:

Here's the AI folder from the tournament.  If you'd like to, you can download it and run any matches you'd like to see (that applies to everyone, of course, not just Hi5er).  If you do, record the match and post it here!  I'll do some bonus matches too, but it seems like there are a lot of fights people would like to see, so this should speed things up.

[Mystic2000]

Well Late Night Abberation didn't fared all that bad, i wonder how it would have fared against the tournament s'wedgebots (Conundrum and Tastes like sparkles)

Thanks, I was actually thinking about how fun it would be if tournaments had all bots released in the end. Of course I can see why this wouldn't be everyone's thing as people definitely don't want their bots to be stolen or copied, I enjoy having the bots to see how they're built as well as having them as example enemies to test if a bot would work against said design.

For some reason I didn't see the end of the video, youtube is known for cutting off the end of videos but think this one was my fault for pausing the video after seeing the win. Were the other matches a best of 3 as well with the best getting uploaded or just 1 vs 1? Sadly the main post doesn't have the rules so I don't really know.

All the matches were best of 1 because personally, I think best of 3 can start to be a drag to watch sometimes.  (also im kinda lazy)  I said that the finale was best of 3 because the two bots did fight three times throughout the tournament.  The first time was the Winners' Semifinal.  The second time was the final.  However, since RedAce came into the final from the winners' bracket, he had to lose twice to be eliminated.  Part 2 of the final is the third time the robots fought; there's a link to part 2 in the description of part 1.  I did it like that so the video wouldn't be really long and give away that there was going to be more than one match.

I did try and record a few videos tonight, but couldnt find any of the bots in that zip file you sent through x]

They're team 1 and the first four bots of team 2.  My idea was that you could just take the AI folder out of your copy of RA2 and paste in the AI folder I provided, then switch the folders back whenever you were done with the Tricycle Takedown bots.

Speaking of which, I should record something.

Well I did just that just now and it kept crashing whenever I launched a match... Something must be slightly tweaked in the versions I have that doesn't like your AI folder for whatever reason.

Either way, it's half past midnight here and I'm giving up for now.

Do you have the smartzones installed correctly?  Disappointment Trike doesn't have any smartzones, try doing a match between two Disappointment Trikes and see if the game crashes.

Anyway, stuff:

[R1885]

MAN did TLS did not perform well in the tourney. I was really expecting better from it.

I thought you were going to do really well when I first got the bot, but you had some bad luck with not having front armor and having to go against the HS twice.

Smartzones. That will be it.

Since my return I haven't built anything with Smartzones, so haven't downloaded it yet.

I'll download that when I get home and try again.

What the **** I lost three time?!

[DeadGenocide]

What the **** I lost three time?!

probably because your hammers do jacksh** and because a spinner or a fast rammer will destroy your bot anyway.

[Hi5er]

What the **** I lost three time?!

Like Genocide said, it might be because your weapons aren't moving in battles.

As they're on burst motors, you probably need to look into smartzones bro

His bot has smartzones, but it's so underpowered that it can't properly swing the hammers.
