It's here!

Man, this was from before I knew about heavier parts with normals being OP in DSL 2.2.  Even then, I think Wen and I have a good chance in our first match on weapon count alone.

Best team is probably The Unknown Quantity because Mechavore disk + frenZy hammers.

And that was from before I knew how to DSL(well not like I can now, but I found my building style with IRL), my bot honestly isn't that great, no wedge at all and running upside down doesn't work well because of that armor plate. Originally had extenders+beaters, similar to how Redace made Atom Smasher in his IRL Ai pack, but Demon(who has the far superior bot, kinda felt a bit bad that a DSL N00B like I was at that time, timed up with such a good IRL builder) suggested me to switch over to Frenzy Hammers because of how good they are, not sure if putting them that way around was a good idea but it gives them more reach with the hitting parts.
Since I thought that everyone knows how broken MechaV/Frenzys are for ages, I thought it wouldn't be an issue here.
The bot has low battery life and the chassis could be a bit smaller as well(still uses most space because of the burst motors) dunno how far it will go given that it has a weak defense(low armor and no wedge).

Sorry for the delay, chaps. Been extremely busy recently and haven't had literally any leisure time at all.

Finishing this tournament is currently my top leisure priority so it will be filmed by the end of the day and hopefully, the first round will be edited and shown by tomorrow morning.

Once again, sorry for all the delays but I will make sure that this doesn't happen again when I host a tournament (which I would like to do).

Sorry for all my cock-ups with the editing. I'll make sure there isn't as much next time. I was on a tight schedule.

It's alright, still fun to watch, also set range to 99 for spinners so they spin up at the start instead of only after touching the enemy.

3:17 perfect just perfect
Really hoped that my bot wouldn't mess up DoTM's... looks like we were both missing a bit of hammer protection, didn't expect something like the monster that Rob created. At least the bot got to show it's concept against poor Keylock, such a nice looking bot but with exposed motors.

Mouser Mecha Crawlbot- nice OOTA by Geice's flipper. Now that's the flipping power I'd usually want to reach but getting that with just one piston seems to be almost impossible.

Wonder where you got that spooky music from.

All music is from Simpsons Hit and Run :3

Let's clear up some things.

Firstly, this tournament was never meant to be a double elimination but for some reason, I put it down as one anyway. I didn't want a double elimination tournament because this was a tournament to put me in the mindset for running tournaments. It's something I haven't done alone before and I wasn't ready to run a double elim.

As for all my errors, I've had to rush the production of all of this because of my work ethic being terrible at the moment. I'll make sure to improve it in time for next year when I begin working on new tournaments, starting with a Retooled tournament.

I'm deeply sorry to the participants of the tournament. I will improve for next time and use this as a learning experience.

Plenty of promises, but we're yet to see any carried through tbh. And you still haven't said what you're going to do about the 2nd semifinal

Title: Re: Wheely Tag Tournament II - SBV
Post by: yugitom on October 11, 2016, 06:43:40 AM

You will need to make this double elimination, unless your entrants are okay with a single elimination bracket.

Also, what Badger said. You will need to fix the issue in the video.

Yes, because I just made them. Patience, chap.

I'm removing the havok since it was put as being "questionable". Ro Jo Co Wo still go through.

As for the time being, the video has been deleted. A remade one will be available tomorrow morning.

I don't know what exactly happened(I guess the losers bracket was cancelled at some point but now added back?) but it's nice to see this continue.

Never thought that a AI would continue to attack a dead bot, and it looked like the team bots attacked eachother? I wonder if that's just a bug in the AI coding where it checks for a chassis in general and not if that one is not from the team?

I didn't notice that the bot images from before the fight were cut from the splash.

Keylock running out of batteries, something that could happen to my bot as well.
Both ran out of it in the end.

The bots in the bonus fight preview were the wrong ones? Or was that the 4th fight because of havoking with the second one being the actual bonus match?

Title: Re: Wheely Tag Tournament II - SBV
Post by: Thrackerzod on October 12, 2016, 09:21:00 AM

Well, Wen and I gave it a good go, at least.

Not exactly sure why we weren't in the first round of bonus match, but we won anyway so whatever.

It's because they can't get around each other. This was also a problem in the original WTT when G.K's robot, Minifridge, killed mine several times trying to get to another robot.

Yep. I didn't have time to do proper editing. This was easy.

Were they? Buggaring' hell. I have no idea why. I'm not bothered about changing it though. There's been so many bloody cock-ups that I'm more focused on getting it done and moving on to something which doesn't carry a stigma.

Don't worry about it, it's still a fun tournament even with those edits and even if my bot is terrible(sorry DemonofTomorrow, will try to do something better next time).

I did see the post about the double elimination but it felt like a post or more info was missing, do understand it now.

Really happy, I've actually gotten 2nd in a tournament! Huzzah! But most importantly, WE got 2nd in a tournament. The quick thrown-together suggestion by 09 really did pay off somehow. Thank you, Mr. 'cole.


"I'm not gonna shake your hand! Tag team partners don't shake hands! Tag team partners... gotta hug. Come 'ere. We got 'em tonight, buddy. We got tough."


Good job and congrats to the winners. Thank you Mouldy for the tournament, and good luck with the future!

Thanks for all the support guys. This has been a pain in the arse for me. Expect much better next time.

Would anyone like any bonus fights before I close this up? Would like them tonight so I can have them uploaded for the morning.

If not, I'll just throw in a few that I think will be interesting.

I was interested in seeing how Team Ro Jo Cole vs Shimapan Hunters would've turned out

Would they also be best of 3, or one win?
