This is my second art bot, the first is an embaassment that loked like a blob of clay. This is supposed to be a centaur-like vraska with a bucketloader.

The weapons needed took up too much cash, and it just eats the standard energy. Looks okay, I made it look as realistic as I could, with dirt on the lower part and loader and the joints and hydraulics looking all shiny.

Enjoy! Oh yeah, you can use it in a tournament, crooms, modify it, etc. -MB (27 November 2001)

Brick


Spike


Windbag

The three bots included in this archive are Spike, Brick and Windbag.

Spike and Brick are punching bags, designed to run up and come in and try and do damage just by rubbing up against your chassis. Similar to a rambot in design, but not as effective. They are good for testing bots against. They use the intercept designed by Slow Slosh to enable them to catch up to most bots in the field.

Windbag is a vertical spinner of the "Death from above" type. Its designed to spin down from above your bot and do damage, hopefully to take it out.
It is also a test bot. It has a primitive AI and isn't smart enough to catch a good runner. Its really good at testing against to make sure you have some basic defense against a top attack bot.

None of these bots may be used in tournament or challenge rooms without permission, they are not for that, they are for testing, and seeing how some stuff in the AI can be done. (13 November 2001)

Bouncy Ball


Tylenol


-Easter Bunnie was the start of an over 30 bot series, and was a tourney competitor only twice.

He had about 15 or so updates and eventually I abandoned him as needing too much shielding.

He showed up in one featured fight, with the heading: "Easter Bunnie is a really cute bot..." Just hilarious to look at.



-Bouncy Ball is a take off, obviously, on Slow Slosh's ball series(s).

However, I made a bot in August, Floating Green Ball, that looked astoundingly similar to this and his new floating balls.

He had no idea I had made this, so no blame there. ;)



-DrillBot Gold is simply an improvement on a serious reject from late September.



-Eye Mace and Flower were sad attempts at improving Easter Bunnie's series.



-Great Blue Yonder is the most successful of all these, and is almost entirely killable except from the front. Also likes deadlocks. Same with Heavenly.



-Self Defense Bot and II were attempts at creating a spinner that defended itself VERY well while attacking, but the chassis is way killable and the damage wasn't very substantial.



-Tylenol was my very first actually from scratch AI. I admit to using CutterShane's AI during September, but I was desperate!! Honest!! ;)



-Loafing Crazy pokes at the room censor and is a very strange spinner.

Definitely worth looking at, if only for the laughs.

Somewhat like a Ball and Easter Bunnie combined with a hilarious spinner and three gronds. Actually does well, but the attack is too crazy to target anything.

He can't even block or spin ahead of himself! :D



That sums up a few week's cumulative work, and NONE of these can be entered in a tournament.
If I see a bot strikingly similar or identical to one of these, I'm going to ask for some credit! :P -Mister Bucket (10 November 2001)
