Eye Of The Robot - Challenge Belt

[paulc]

I know I need that last spot, but I may as well get this thing started.

Due to its age and experience in competitions like VFT (3rd place, 4th place, and eventual 1st place), FAR (3 times heat-finalist), my own E.O.T.R (2 times heat-finalist, 2 times quarter-finalist) and Mechanical Noise (4th place) I have awarded the task of holding the belt to Wedge Devolution.

Steven has got the belt, but to keep it, he must defeat 3 robots in a row, and then he will be given another belt if he suceeds, but if he loses, the task is passed on to the metal-muncher that defeats him. No retries, no second life and NO MERCY, Steven has been given the task, and the task is to be completed by Steven, or passed on to any of the other robots competing in this tornument. So Steven:

+1>BEHOLD YOUR WILLING OPPOSITION!

Wedge Devolution vs. Rupture

Ooooh...Rupture is pretty new, and Wedge has tons of experience...I think Ill take Wedge Devo to win this one.

Im actually quite happy with this draw, as Wedge Devo is just the sort of bot that Rupture is designed to annoy. Defencively Ruptures skirts should be enough to stop it getting many flips in at all. If it does flip me over, then I can easily self right with the lifter. My own tactics are quite simple. Ill attempt some box rushing at its skirts and try to get under them. From there I can do pretty much anything with it. In particular Id like to throw it over and over again, and eventually he should run out of gas to self right. Stacking it against the walls and pushing it into hazards when the wheels are off the ground are other options.

Leo,
Sorry to be picky, but your code is syntactically incorrect...

10 $opponent = alive
20 do while $opponent != dead
30 grab robot
40 squeeze robot
50 wait 30
60 letgo robot
70 if robot != moving then $opponent = dead
80 loop
80 goto victory_dance
90 end
100 :victory_dance
110 do
120 random move
130 random weapon
140 loop

Wait one darn moment...

Why do I have to face the winner of the first battle? Shouldnt I be somewhere near the bottom?

I knew someone would improve my code. I always leave the debugging to the open source community.
