AT-Robots Galore!
I do believe that AT-Robots are the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you don't know what an AT-Robot is, go here. Otherwise, stay here.
My best robot is named Zoomer, after his speed&en;he is theoretically the fastest robot ever written. His only tactic is to run around the edge in a zigzag pattern to avoid shots and fire at his opponent when he gets a chance. The only robot that I know of that can whip him 20-to-nothing is Burger.
Zoomer is currently reigning as #1 in the AT-Robots Homepage Royal-Rumble Class Tournament and #3 in the Standard Class Tournament. I'm so proud of him!
I have twelve other robots:
- Colander Bot (aka CBot), who uses a secret method to chase after and circle people, but I think I'm not the first one to invent it...
- Colander Bot Light (aka CBotLite) uses the same search method as Colander Bot, only is designed for the Light Class Tournament and therefore uses 32 lines of code. He is currently reigning as #4 in the Light Class Tournament at the AT-Robots homepage.
- Pi Bot, who is wicked slow and whose "intelligence" gets him stuck in corners.
- Pi Bot 2, who is more advanced (?) than Pi Bot, is most likely my worst robot.
- Old Pi Bot, who is simply an older version of Pi Bot.
- Ancient Pi Bot, who is simply an older version of Old Pi Bot, and actually is better than Pi Bot(!).
- Chaos Bot, who is an older version of Pi Bot and is optimized for Chaos mode.
- Hideaway, who slowly but surely makes his way into the corner, and once there, turns around and fires at whatever he sees. He does pretty good, despite his simplicity.
- Stalker, who has no will of his own except to fire&en;he copies the movement of whomever he sees. (Try putting five Stalkers and another bot in a battle!)
- Rock, who is really hard to kill but eventually ends up overheating.
- Tornado, who is similar to Rock, but is easier to kill and has a much better weapon and scanner.
- Miner, who runs (crawls) around in a circle laying mines whenever someone gets near. When he's almost dead, he blows up all the mines he laid, lays all the ones he has left, and fires alot until he overheats. It's an interesting fireworks display!
I am starting an AT-Robots tournament which does not yet have a name. Send me an e-mail with your robot attached to it and maybe a description or some notes about your robot. I'll stick all robots with descriptions on a page for everybody to see, and all robots will be added to my online archive. If you do not want your robot added to my archive, just let me know in your e-mail. No robot will be entered into the archive until after they have been in the tournament.
The tournament will be held whenever I get enough robots (>10). I will also enter all robots that I already have, but no more than 50 total. For example, if your robot came in 45th place in the last tournament, and I get 10 more robots for the next one, your robot will not be in the next tournament unless you resubmit him.
Also, all robots will be tested so there will be no "do-nothing" robots entered in the contest. This is so robots like Suicide and SDuck won't worthlessly be entered into the contest. However, robots like Trapper will.
You can download my archive here. It's 77K.
