I don't want either, Robot Wars was unfair enough and it would be a cheap win for the bot just to push the opponent into the house robot.

I can picture coding that would enable the bot to :
1. sit/only move in certain areas,
2. keep itself from being counted out,
3. attack any bot that came within a certain radius of it, and
4. go after any bot undergoing 'immobilization coutdown'(ACAM's idea).

CB, I didn't think of it being 'User-controlled', I thought it was AI. But could be wrong.

Nar, I agree, some; like when that bot attacks the players arbitrarily. But having it 'AI-ed' (no human bias), and having it sit there like a lurking, pro-active 'hazard' seems fair to me....

I also see several problems with ELBITE Tournament and want to see it done as smooth as possible and as quick as possible as it looks like it will be a long tournament as is

Really? What problems must I resolve? I'll fix it as soon as possible.

I see you have edited the rules and they look nice. The only thing I am worried about now is the time it will take to do three tournaments in one.

someone should recreate robot wars...

Yes, i will be controlling the house bot (Wow, i go for a few hours, 2 and a bit more, cousins confirmation and school, and you guys have mannaged to produce 2 more pafes, lol!)
Um, I mannaged to get it so that they dont attack my robots, but i dont really get what your talking about with the AI-s avoiding the HRZ, and besides, the HRZ are where the robots start!
Can someone PM me on how to do it, please :-)
Im quite busy for the MINUTE or 2, as im doing homework (Yes, im still in school!) and then i might be working on my REAL LIFE robot with my dad.

Say, if i send someone my HouseRobot, then could they do all that house bot ai stuff?
Infinitenertia: I was planning a DSL Robot Wrs for YouTube way back, but didnt really get round to it. (Which doesnt say that i wont do this!)

I think there should be a better method to implement the way the house robots acts during battle.

It should be based off of a random generator in the coding (perhaps roll 1 out of 25), and every time that "1" shows up, the house robots would enter the fray and attack everyone. All the other variables can limit it to just staying in its zone and wait for other bots to enter it. Of course, it would re-roll after every event so you would never know when they would attack.

You were right, CB; User controlled.
But I agree with Gig on this one. I think an AI would be much more unbiased (which is what I didn't like about RW's house bot).
W-nut, it's you tourney, and you can do as you please. The AI/py to do this is possible but would take some time and effort.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #49 on:** October 13, 2008, 10:48:04 AM »

Whatever the case W-nut, I'll enter.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #50 on:** October 13, 2008, 11:04:38 AM »

Thanks guys!
All i need a a complete How-To guide on doing it and then i'll be ok!
And how do i make the bots avoid the edge of the arena? (As thats where the main HRZ's will be) Or at leats not enter thier Start Zones again.

ShadowArts · « **Reply #51 on:** October 13, 2008, 11:39:22 AM »

I want to try... but is there an unwritten rule about being too "Newbish" to enter? I think I should start somewhere.

EDIT: I didn't necessarily join in August, but I left my old account inactive for too long. I joined in September last year.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #52 on:** October 13, 2008, 12:14:06 PM »

No, all newbies can enter, you need to start somewhere!
Be prepared to take on the big guns, though!

R1885 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 13, 2008, 05:26:24 PM »

I'm in.

MetalikVyper · « **Reply #54 on:** October 28, 2008, 03:26:58 PM »

I'm in, I've already made a killer heavyweight rammer in DSL!

Naryar · « **Reply #55 on:** October 28, 2008, 03:32:08 PM »

I still can't find a good bot to enter...

...Possibly Grim Ripper 4 (to be built and i have the design in head right now)

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #56 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:03:40 PM »

Okay, I just need a finalisation of who is entering.
Thanks.
My dad, the houses computer expert, im second, is trying to fix my computer right now, basically he's tuning it again, then copy my files over and if they have a virus on them, then a friend sent me a link for a programme that deletes viruses, esspecially the one i have.
When thats all done, ill be setting the tournament up a bit more.

Please post a pic of the house bot when you can, and also, I think that 10 seconds is to long. maybe 3 seconds or so.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #58 on:** October 29, 2008, 04:53:10 AM »

Well, i'll have to start the house bot all over again, so be patiant.

the house robot should just be a chassis with a huge horriszontal spinner on it. let it just hang in the corner so bots can just be pushed onto it
