The Fight Match-Ups Are In!
After some shuffling on The Hat, i've devised a plan for it all.
Now, it wouldnt be very even if it was 18 robots head to head, then there would be 9 robots going through.
So, all entrants will be put in pods.
A pod consists of 3 robots in each, there are 6 pods, so therefore, 6 winners.
Robots must face each robot in thier pod atleast once. So 1 takes on 2, then 3, 2 takes on 1 and 3, and 3 takes on 2 and 1 (1 and 3's fight would count for 1 fight for both) Whoever wins the most fights, wins thier pod.
If 2 robots have the same amount of wins, they will fight again.
If all 3 have won a fight, then the one who scored the most points during a fight, will go through.
Then, the 6 pod winners will fight in 3 head to head fights, therefore ginving us 3 winners, and 3 losers.
3, thats uneven i hear you say, the 3 losers take place in a winner takes all losers melee.
The winner will go on to make the semi-finalists 4.
The 2 winners will then go on to the FINAL!
While the 2 losers take place in a losers melee for 3rd and 4th place.
And the pod match-ups are:
Pod A:
Urjak
V
H@zm47
V
ShadowArts
Pod B:
courthousedoc
V
philetbabe
V
R0B0SH4RK
Pod C:

Pod D:

System32
V
R1885
Pod E:
Jules
V
Somebody
V
TleeC11B
Pod F:
Sage
V
supernova
V
Kill343gs
And those are the pod match-ups!
ANNOUNCMENTS: AI'ing is done except for one bot who doesnt want to move...
Splashes, award pictures, arena updates, and that last bot, will all be done today.
I hope to get footage up THIS WEEK! :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

-
Nice. Can't wait for some footage
-
I'm gonna guess that the bot doesn't have the controls named? Anyways, I can't wait for the splash.
-
Whoops, guess I failed on bot creation timing. Ah well, probably wouldn't of worked with 19 people.
Atleast I have my first decent DSL HW creation.
-
I guess it dosen't have wheels.
-
Pod C:
JoeCB1991
V
Naryar
V
WhamettNuht
I think HnM can handle this. Wham's bot shouldn't be a problem, but i'm more worried about Joe's ÜBER powerful VS... even with 5mm titanium.
-
I bet that Haunt will be fine against Tlee, it is Jules that I am worried about.
-
(1 and 3's fight would count for 1 fight for both)
I don't get this part
-
I'm starting to like my chances. Mutant Dragon Fly VIII(as I am aware of) has no wedge, and Facemelikeafool(same case) has axle wedges.
-
I don't get this part
Basically I think it means that there's no repeats.
Say like, there's bot1 v bot3, but no bot3 v bot1.
-
..Mutant Dragon Fly VIII(as I am aware of) has no wedge..
Ah, that's where you're wrong. MD8 does have a wedge that is fairly good, but your snapper wedges will probably smoke mine.
-
i dont even remeber what bot i sent for this thing....
-
Wasn't it some flame-thrower bot?
-
You sent me HoHoHammers, Sage.
Im rather scared about Nar's entry, and Tlees.
Ahh well, im entering for fun.
-
ah yes. well... im screwed. i think.
-
My bot is going to fail, HARD. I can just feel it.

My predictions for winners :
PodA - Urjak
PodB - R0B0SH4RK
PodC - Naryar
PodD - R1885
PodE - Jules
PodF - Sage

You would say Naryar, wouldnt you Naryar! :-D
-
Nope. I only say that because i am very confident of the abilities of HnM 3.2. Unlike Skirmish 3 tabletop...

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MY BOT IS!!
-
Pod A:H@zm47/ShadowArts
ShadowArts has an edge with his modifications for accuracy, but H@zm47 is a decent builder.
Pod B:philetbabe/R0B0SH4RK
R0B0SH4RK is a good builder, but I'm sure Philetbabe will come through, depending on who attacks who.
Pod C:JoeCB1991/Naryar/WhamettNuht
It's hard to decide. Wham's creations could prove to be more deadly than they seem, but Naryar and Joe are knightmares to be pitted against.
Pod D:Reier/System32/R1885
This is where I worry. If I'm correct, both bots will go straight for me. One with Powerful weapons, another with a better wedge. I hope Naryar's advice for a wheel change was a good one...
Pod E:Jules
I'll admit, Somebody is pretty bad in stock, and Tlee hasn't shown much potential, but this'll prove to be a fun match to watch.
Pod F:Sage/Kill343gs
Kill's a decent builder, But I've never seen his work. And I'm unsure how good Sage is...
-
Pod A:H@zm47/ShadowArts
ShadowArts has an edge with his modifications for accuracy, but H@zm47 is a decent builder.

So what does hat make me, below decent? :D

So what does that make me? Below decent? :D
-
You are the most unlucky builder I've ever known. Just prey that you're bot is good.
-
Mine isn't a vertical spinner ;)
-
=O x 53457039457034562314562483753...
-
Well, Mine isn't a SnS.
-
Well, mine is a rammer/poker..
-
Mine is a piece of crap.
-
I don't know what mine is!
-
obZen
-
Whoops, I meant DSL.
But really, Your bots are crap in a battle, but are very good to look at.
-
*sigh*
Shut up, both of you..
-
Qft. Zip it, please.
-
...
Splash please ??
-
Be patient people, and please stop spamming the thread.
-
I think the one I sent in is a Mako Clone rebuild of Destroyer, but I am working on some new stuff right now [flippers, tri-bars, shell spinners, sawbots, rammers].
-
It has been a couple weeks, whats going to happen Wham?
-
Sorry, bit of a mix up.
I havent really been playing RA2 that much, only occasionaly.
I've been thinking about real robotics a bit more.
Im trying to get something sorted out, im still haveing trouble with some bots not moving, a couple of arena issues.
Plus schools been taking up my time.
I wont be able to get anything done today, tommorow, Sat or Sun (Birthday on Sat)
-
im still having trouble with some bots not moving,
are these problems of AIing ?
i may help if so.
-
...That was supposed to start more than a month ago !
-
Happy Birthday, but please please PLEASE do this tourney.
-
There's plans in motion for this thing to start... even if Wham isn't the one who does it.
I would say, pay attention to GUMBA and BBEANS for now.
-
Happy early birthday.
-
If Wham thinks he got himself in too deep, then I with Sage's help will do this tourney right after GUMBA. Unless someone else want's to do it?
Either way it will happen, and in the not too distant future.
This one I would especially like to finish, since I have so much work in the Housebot work and coding, so it will happen.
..
-
Where is that little Bot builder anyway?
-
If you mean Wham, I have not talked to or seen him in a long time...
-
Well, today is his birthday.
-
ohhhh.... well then happy birthday to him.
-
Thanks guys, been at a hotel, just bought some time on the internet.
Thanks for any happy birthdays!
-
Hey, Happy birthday Wham!
-
Happy Birthday.
-
Wham, What's up?
This needs to start ASAP....
Just ask for help.
-
...Soooooooooooo ??
-
I haven't heard from Wham at all.
-
I talked to him a while ago, said he was AIing mainly.
-
Wham is still alive .. i've seen he was on youtube 1 hour ago... I invite him to give us news.
We are all expected you Wham !
-
Ok, i've been having trouble with a couple of the AI bots, so Mads agreeded to help me.
Once i know more from him, plus when splashes, fights, ect. have been done, then i will start.
Thats the only problem, a couple of AI bots, theyre not moving no matter what i try.
-
I'll AI mine.
EDIT: and you can also ask the owners of the bots to fix that themselves...
-
What do you need to know from me, Wham? Let me know...
And there are plenty of AI-ers here, (Phil, Sage, Jules, Reier, Haz, Urj,.....) who will be glad to help if asked.
..
-
Did you name the controls???
-
Boy, wouldn't that be embarissing.
-
make an archive (zip or rar) and send me (or another Aier) the pack, it will be soon aied.
-
Wham, you now have 2 weeks from today in which to start this tourney. If you don't in this time then it will have to be done by another.
(It's a little frustrating on my part, because to facilitate tourneys I've taken the time and effort to build a special arena for each tourney as incentive... (RAW, GUMBA, WRL, 'Gauntlet'(Ian's).
The motivation is initially there, but when some 'get into it' and find out that it takes significant time and effort, they tend to not follow through. So it falls into someone else's lap or doesn't happen period. And,..not to mention the guys who took the time to build, tweak and send in their bots....)
So, you need to get on top of this and get it going, since it's been 5 months ago that you got the 'ok' for doing this tourney, and posted:Hi Guys.
The WRL tournament will soon be underway.
..

I think it's going Elbite-ish. As in, slooowwwly.
