I know this may sounds lame but type of judge decision do they use in the official robot wars or other tournament? Which type of system will you prefer in a tournament?
Ill be happy to help.
There are many kinds spread throughout the FRA, such as the system Martijn uses in the Mechanical Noise tournaments, or the one I have just recently started using in Crash & Burn. Steven McGregor and Richard Southworth also used different systems for their major tournaments. Have a look around.
The way that RW used to work is:
Style
Control
Damage
Aggression
With a winner for each area, but Damage is weighted so its worth 2.
I understand what damage and aggression is. But I never understand what style and control does. what does style and control do anyway?
Style - how stylish the robot has been during the match
Control - this can be read differently
1. Who has controlled the fight more
2. Whose drive has been more controlled
So I suppose style really means planning and stragegy?
No no no no no, strategy is different.
Here, Ill put it in simple words. Style is rated on how flashy your robot is when fighting.
My own opinion here: An example would be the Grand Final of Series 7. Typhoon 2 spinning and Storm II ramming. Both are attacking, but who looks flashier when doing so? When Typhoon 2 attacks, it looks really cool while doing so because its got the colours (a good paint job does wonders) and the movement to do so. Storm II...not so much, because a dully-coloured rammer isnt very...stylish when just coming in and hitting you. You see there must be some creativity that shows in your robot, really, in order for it to come out on top in style points.
WOW! So that style. Wow, I didnt realize that. Thanks.
Wait a minute, how do all of these robot wars judge decision work between damage, agression, control and style work in one-on-one battle, tag-team, melee and etc?
Thats beyond me because I dont use the RW system.
Anybody got some pointers for Andre?
