What awards are you going to have? Just 1st/2nd etc?I donno yet. I'll probably throw out some wacky joke awards like I did with my previous tournament (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19070.0).
And correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like every entrant used three wheels on their bot, which would fit the name.Yup, you're right!
i'll be amazed if badger doesn't win this. pretty much everything expect sealion is straight hs fodder.Stock plows are made of cardboard so it's not looking too good for Sealion either.
Finally caught up on all the videos. Great matches, keep em coming!Just in time for the next two matches!
its been very fun to watch this but I wish o could face Papyrus bike...

You might be able to request a match after the tournament is done. It can't be guaranteed, but I think Thrackerzod would allow it.

Yeah I'll definitely do some bonus matches. I was already planning a Papyrus Bike/TriKilla/Weaponized ReInterverter/Im not at all serious! rumble match, but if you'd like a one on one, I can do that for you.

I don't mind hosting a few of these bonus matches if you want a hand Thrack?

Hey, that gives me an idea:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/8357tricycle takedown ai.zip (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/8357tricycle takedown ai.zip)
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.

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.
oh dear! :laughing :laughing
Yep you need the smartzones, had the same problems trying to open up Redace's bot when he uploaded it after the tournament. Let me save you the trouble of searching the downloads page(it's under custom components) and link it here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=237They're team 1 and the first four bots of team 2.

Appreciate the direct link bud.
I'll see if I can upload a couple matches tonight...
As for the videos
On a side note, I may go down in your estimations here, but Stock was my go to version of choice. I first joined the forums around 2010, but first played the game when I was around 14 ('2006ish I think?), but this is my first time playing competitively and actually fighting another bot from fellow forum users.
Am I the only one that notices that everyone writes Tastes like Sparkle while the bot doesn't seem to have that in the name? :PThe bot's name, in game, is "Tastes like spakle", and I've tried to remember to stick to that throughout the tournament.
Kinda forgot to mention it before, but I did read the rules for this, single elmination sure makes thing quicker and avoids long boring matches, so I can agree with that(maybe if you had direct elimination without losers bracket this wouldn't be such an issue, at least not after the first round?) looking forward to more hosted tournaments from you.I like to either do best of 3 matches or double elimination. Single elimination + best of 1 feels too short and kinda unfair to people who get unlucky, and Double elimination + best of 3 can start to drag IMO.
Hey thanks! I wasn't sure anyone would actually do any videos. Would you mind if I added these to the OP?I planned on doing a few but since I didn't have fitting soundtrack and no way to do the YT splashes(no idea how you get thumbnails now, think you need to confirm your account with a phone number? not going to happen) wasn't sure if it would be a good idea, might do them sometime soon or on the weekends.Am I the only one that notices that everyone writes Tastes like Sparkle while the bot doesn't seem to have that in the name? :PThe bot's name, in game, is "Tastes like spakle", and I've tried to remember to stick to that throughout the tournament.Kinda forgot to mention it before, but I did read the rules for this, single elmination sure makes thing quicker and avoids long boring matches, so I can agree with that(maybe if you had direct elimination without losers bracket this wouldn't be such an issue, at least not after the first round?) looking forward to more hosted tournaments from you.I like to either do best of 3 matches or double elimination.

Double elimination(going to 3 rounds if each bot gets a win) is probably the best, 3 matches shows if the bot possibly had a chance(higher probabilty of a successful fight), but like you said it drags on.
Looks like i'm mounting the drum on a burst motor next time and making a Drum/Axe Hybrid that covers both the front and the back :laughingReturn of Drumbledore? Also I might have found a way to get Snapper II's more stable again.
The drum is the secret to the wedgyness... I feel like a lot of us know how to create the "most efficient" wedge, so a lot of bots tend to lock wedges nowdays. I don't think Conundrum has a better wedge than Sealion or Late Night Aberration, but when the bots wedge lock the drum just grinds away at the opposing wedge until it's gone and then Conundrum can swoop under easily for the win. I definitely think drum style weapons should see more use.Is it really that? Technically if something gets under the drum it shouldn't instantly be removed, instead the other bot should keep on pushing it's wedge under the other, however something under the drum keeps it there(bot not having enough speed to push?) after that it just gets ripped off and is gone.
And as a final side note, the thumbnails in my above videos youtube just created for me and you're right, you have to verify your account with them, but when you upload a video it gives you a choice of 3 random stills, the trick is to try and pick one that doesn't give the result away :laughing
all my talk probably dragged this on way longer than it should have.
