I am quite relieved Joe used the actually damaging weapon and not the fail DSL bar one...

haha,  I`m Fu*ked :D

Really i wouldn't call our fight yet. I have 10 kg more weapons than you and have superior concussion values, but your Hypno teeth are theorically much more damaging than my large beaters so you might WBP.

What i am quite sure of is that our fight will be decided by points, not KO or immobilization.

*Sees Piglets for drive* AAAARRGGGGHHHHHHHH SONNNNY SHAME ON YOU FOR ALL ETERNTY *sees typo in eternity* :FFFUUU

I hope so :)
Joe: the background of the brackets is awesome! :O

predictions:

Spitfire vs. Phere - Depends on the stenght of Spitfires flipper. Phere could do some damage but I guess it will be flipped over and get counted out.

Infernal Contraption vs. Night Stalker - Will be a match after points. In the end it will go to InfCon.

Hypnodisc vs. Typhoon 2 - Don`t get really why this is UK vs. UK but I know that this is the fight of the two most destructive spinners in RW history. I think hypnodisc can win this but it`s extenderwork bodypart could be it`s downfall.

The Alien vs. The Matator - the "the" fight. And again it depends on the flipperpower. I`ve seen S_Ms Alien replica in action and it did pretty well. If it doesn`t gets flipped it will winn this.

Terrorhurtz vs. Dark Striker - A match I`m looking forward to. THz could win this but it might get damaged by the HS bar at DSes front. Close one.

Mauler vs. Steel Reign - USA vs. USA. As much I like the  Mauler rep I think it goes to the strong looking SR. (not Sonny_Resetti in this case :P)

V-Max vs. Aces and Eights - nothing much to say about that. If no havok wonder happens...

GBH2 vs. Snookums - I love Sonnys replica but since it has no srimech it will may fall to GBH. But it could come out the other way cause of GBHs poor wedge.

You're using the old version of Hypno-Disc for the splash.
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on May 11, 2010, 10:37:15 AM
becasue the version you have sent me seems like you have have made a mistake in BFE :/ you need to fix it up and resend, the chassis is lower then any of the pictures you have shown and a random black square keeps showing up in the build area among other things.

@Thyrus its a full randomization not UK vs USA in round 1.. its unbalanced manipulating the bracket so some robots will never face off 
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: G.K. on May 11, 2010, 10:38:50 AM
I must have. I evidently don't know how to BFE chassis height correctly. Do I have to do it in more than one place?
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on May 11, 2010, 10:43:14 AM
yes, you copy the first figure you change

hit Ctrl + F

change it to replace

paste the original value then type in the new height you want

then hit replace until it can no longer find that value.

---------------

I will try and fix it up (already did a massive BFE fest for Sonny's robot)

Post by: JoeBlo on May 11, 2010, 11:29:46 AM
both crashed the game (custom components that were not given to me)

I offered Craaig a place after Badnik canceled his extra matches and 027 was going to send something but never did so rather then wasting more time asking for components from zog or sonny I used my fixed Typhoon Replica.

I actually am looking forward to this.


I'm not ready for tournament hosting yet... Probably never will be.


I'm actually quite angry with myself for giving up, something I should never do...  :(


Still, at least I will make it past round one. Nah, knowing my building standards, I probably won't.


And also, JoeBlo, I consider the extra wedge bit as cheating, as it is too low... Could you modify it so then it looks like the real thing, as well as skin it?

Well Thyrus, I built Spitfire to resist structural damage really. Last time I checked, it has 5mm Titanium Armour, 4-wheel drive on Fast NPCs and Hypno Wheels, and has a Judge Burst Motor powering its arm*. So yes, if I can get Phere over, I think I could win.
 
 
*EDIT: Cassius II in Replica Wars also utilised one.

Given the circumstance of how long the tournament had been stalled for... I think that 027 just volunteered a bit late.  Most of us really wanted to see this thing get going. I am sure there will be other replica tournaments in the future.  They certainly are turning out to be very popular. Besides, his brother hosts some great replica tournaments himself. :D *wink wink hint hint hint*

its not up to me to build the replicas, I was considering removing the wedge since it seems was added after you received all robots  :ermm:

but it will stay as is now.

I dislike quoting myself, but JOOOOEEYYY did you ran into such an issue when AI-ing my bot ? If it doesn't drives properly it's not even worth competing.

Can i send you another bot then ? I can whip up a Bad Attitude replica by tomorrow.

If no, no problem, just give the win to Thyrus.

becasue I dont care ? :P I know I made the mistake but can be bothered fixing it since its the second splash this tournament has had.. its only purpose was to show Typhoon 2 and Mauler.

OK, i'll send my Bad Attitude replica this evening. (AKA in less than 10 hours)

I wish for an AI that would reverse nose heading if inverted though... might see if i can make that from Click's SwitchDirRam.py
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on May 14, 2010, 08:57:17 AM
I can probably make it for you (I think such one exists though)

you could probably do it with new controls like BountyHunter.py
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 14, 2010, 01:30:19 PM
Time for my predictions-
 
Spitfire vs. Phere -
Phere looks strong, but to be honest, I think Spitfire was built to take it on. If Phere goes over, that'll be it. But it could go the other way if Phere damages Spitfire's flipper.

Bad Attitude vs. Night Stalker -
NARYAR YOU TRAITOR, DEFECTING TO THE USA DAMN YOU TO HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY  :FFFUUU
Seriously though, It depends on whether Bad Attitude can turn over Nightstalker with the wedges. If not, Night Stalker has this one for sure.

Hypnodisc vs. Typhoon 2 -
Two of the most destructive spinners in RW history. Has Typhoon 2 improved the armour, though? If not, I think HypnoDisc will win. There is a likelyhood of Typhoon 2 getting to HypnoDisc's vunerable undercarriage, though.

The Alien vs. The Matator -
I've seen Alien in action, and its weapons are very destructive. As long as it keeps off The Matador's flipper, The Alien has this one. On the other hand, It looks unstable though, so depending on the power of Matador's flipper, it could go out of the arena.

Terrorhurtz vs. Dark Striker -
Terrorhurtz looks well-protected and low to the ground curtesy of those external armour plates, so if it keep under Dark Striker and hammer the chassis with the axe, It'll have this one for sure.

Mauler vs. Steel Reign -
Mauler looks great, but I think the hammers will be too high to hit Steel Reign's low profile. It could go either way, mind.

V-Max vs. Aces and Eights -
V-Max will probably win on points here, but will the stock extenders hold out on the arm? If not, I can see Aces and Eights pushing it around the arena to win.

GBH 2 (Mulsanne Monster) vs. Snookums -
I love the replica Sonny, but I think it'll be over the moment Snookums goes over. However, GBH 2's wedges don't look too reliable, so again, could go either way.
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Naryar on May 14, 2010, 03:42:13 PM
Hah ! Battlebots was clearly superior to Robot Wars (proof, it's still running) so i have no regrets about changing sides.

Spitfire over Phere: The cheat burst motor flipper wins.  Phere can't out-wedge it, and it doesn't looks like it can self-right well it seems.

Bad Attitude over Night Stalker: Well of course :P BA's not even built but i know i will win !

Hypnodisc over Typhoon 2: Hypno has a superior weapon, plus the Typhoon replica really fails, if this bot is just that same exact replica with a change on weapons it's going to be even easier to beat.

The Alien vs The Matador: It really all depends on Haz's flipper power and armor. The Alien will probably go into uncontrolled bumbling most of the match, so it just takes heavy armor and powerful flippers for Haz to win. If not, then SM takes the win.

Dark Striker VS Terrorhurtz:  DS's nose value will make it either win, either lose the match :P I want the best builder (aka Pwn) to win, but it's difficult to call out.

Steel Reign over Mauler - Probably the best spinner of the competition against my favorite. I'll give the win to the gut-ripper because it is both invertible, damaging and it looks fast, but you never know.

Aces and Eights over V-Max : Despite being a rammer against flipper fight, AaE is just the better built. Definite WBP here.

Snookums over GBH 2: I'm taking a massively wild guess here but Snookums has 2 things GBH has not: half-invertibility and actual damage potential. Win by points here.

GBH 2 actually has damage potential, it has got a couple of beater bars on it's flipper.

What does nose have to do with it? It can always be fixed during AI-ing. o_O


Anyway, just in case most of you haven't recognized it yet, DS is equipped with a Morse Code Breaker wedge. And it can get under FnF from time to time. >8D

5mm steel, 8 ants, NPC fasts, and these are skinned slipperbottoms not Tornados.

I love how nobody thinks realism with replica Armour.. just all go for virtually bulletproof.. combined with low damaging weapons makes replica fighting quite boring without flippers :/

Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Naryar on May 19, 2010, 03:58:10 AM
DP

The half-hexes have gay APs so if i use them i waste loads of weight on multi's plus must BFE 12 multis, and won't do something good-looking.

I will just play with blue skinned square extenders i think. The final countdown version will come in less than one hour.

5mm Ti because i doubt i'll get KOed.

I love how nobody thinks realism with replica Armour.. just all go for virtually bulletproof.. combined with low damaging weapons makes replica fighting quite boring without flippers :/
Good thing Spitfire's got one, eh?  :approve:
 
Also-
I'll be looking forward to seeing how Spitfire does  = P
it wont do half bad
Let's hope so at least. Judging by my opponents in the first two rounds (All vunerable to flipping), I think I've got a reasonable chance of succeeding.

I think the main challenge to overcome in my bracket is Steel Reign. I saw what it did to Mauler, so I should be wary of those blades. It did look pretty slow and easy to flip though, I will admit.

Next Round Predictions
Spitfire over Nightstalker: Well, it's not invertible and is against a flipper.....
Steel Reign over Dark Strider: Exposed chassis, however strong armour may make this v.close
The Alien over Hypnodisc: Only 2 weapons and exposed extender work, I should win.
Snookums over Aces'N'Eights: Well it has a moving weapon which does damage, this is the one I'm least sure of though.
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos

I'm improving Fire Demon. It's a lot better now (can run both ways up), and has a lot more destructive capability. Only problem is, I'm rubbish at making gut-ripping drums, so I was wondering if I could change it to my trademark FS?


It's also got a new name, too. But I'm not saying. Yet.

By all means change it if it suits you, Zog!  = P
 
And I'm also working on improving Stealth Bomber. The wedge is good, but the armour's a bit subpar, so I'm working on improving that.

Steel Reign over Dark Strider: Exposed chassis, however strong armour may make this v.close

Thanks for the support.  This battle is going to be really close.  I am a bit nervous about Steel Reign's chances.  If Pwns bot has a strong drive, then it very well will just wedge right under my bot and gutrip the heck out of it.  I don't think that the small DSL teeth will be able to take off his weapon in time.

I gotta say, I love these replica tournaments because we don't have to worry too much about "May the best wedge win".  All that skirt wedge crap just goes out the window and we see some decent carnage that feels more fulfilling.  Just my opinion, flame away.  :D

Snookums over Aces'N'Eights: Well it has a moving weapon which does damage, this is the one I'm least sure of though.

The only way I can see it happening is if Aces & Eights flies over Snookums every time it tries to attack, and gets scratched by what little weaponry I have.

Suppose. But Sonny, remember that Aces and Eights has no wedge on its front, so you could bring the lifter into play too, I reckon.

Derp. Sorry about that, I was just incredibly angry that I'd lost another Rep Tournament to another VS. I'll change it if you like.

Why do I get this strange feeling that you only want DS to win because it eliminated my entry?

You are mistaken. DS is the best bot here, period !

He's right. Unless The Alien can get to the side and stay to the side while swinging the weapon, it'll be just a fight of "will The Alien's weapon break off before it's all over".

Suppose. But as long as I take Third Place again, I'll be happy.
 
 
Then I think a rep that can withstand Vertical Spinners (IE. Frostbite and Dark Striker) will be on the drawing board. I always seem to lose to them for some reason.

You guys are all presuming DS will get under The Alien.

If The Alien does an ItI, well... :P

A powerful HS should do the trick. DS only has 2WD NPCF drive so Last Rites will probably pwn that. Too bad a Perm ain't powerful enough for both Last Rites and DS. DS needs a motor that has more speed and less torque from a Perm. But oh well.

The Alien's weapon only starts spinning when right next to the opponent.
This won't help at all.

How about changing the range?

Well, If JoeBlo sees this can he please do what Pwnator said.

I don't even think it has a range value since it seems to have default range, aka 2.0 (i think)
Title: Re: UK vs USA - Brackets and Videos
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on May 29, 2010, 03:26:44 AM
Thanks, this may be the first time The Alien is got under.

I see nary wandered into this thread with his eyes open :P

So no Third Place Playoff, then?  P=

Oh, well. That's OK Joe, you've done a great job here anyway.

So shall I put "Joint-Third Place with Scrap Daddy" in my sig, then?   ^_^

Your sig is already lengthy enough... If you really want to record this go and write it on your wiki page.
