Scratch

I know how to do a good AI.

Point in random direction and shoot 10 bullets every frame!

Disregard that. Just read the rules lol.

The distance to block is still allowed for enemys, right? >;

Yes >: )

MWHAHAHAAAA-

OK, need some more clafification.

Will there be walls on the stage where robots are pit against each other?
How many robots will fight at a time?
What size in px must the robot and projectile be?

RHY, you're doing this!!!
I still think I will beat you!
Good luck!

I think I might join this XD (When's the deadline?)

BTW, should we name our sprites unique names, so that when you put 2 robots against each other, scratch doesn't get confused because they have the same names?

BTW BTW is there going to be like a preliminary thing, were we can see if our robots have glitches, or if we have accidentally put some banned blocks in and so we can fix it?

Give your sprites unique names. Once you submit them I will put them into the same project and fix any blocks that have to do with names.

And you should probably test your bot before the tournament.

Deadline is in 1 week.

Give us a little time, gosh.... really...

Does anyone want to form a team with me?

Only 1 Projectile per robot is allowed in this contest.
Projectiles must now expire after 200 frames.

And, don't you mean 200 *pixels*...
If your projectile goes 12 pixels per frame and there are 200 frames, your projectile will travel 2400 pixels. I would say that the projectile should last for 17 frames max.

Hey, demos, maybe you should put the link in the first post, so people don't have to go searching for it?

Me and MathWizz were wondering, if we have spikes on our robot, can we make them do damage? I think the answer is no, because the points are only based off of projectiles, but he is saying it would be the projectile instead of the normal projectile, but I don't think that makes sense. What do you think?

btw my robot cannot be hit even with guided missiles, super amazing technology.

Just wait...

btw if anyone is interested i'd be willing to work with someone. they'd have to be pretty good so if you want to give it a shot.  also and mine is the best dodging robot eva

I'm soooo tempted to say "YA RIGHT!"

go ahead but you'll see when you realise that there is no possible way for you to hit it unless you luck out.

... I'm pretty sure it's frames.

I doubt what you're saying, because if the projectiles can move at 12 steps/pixels per frame, and the robots can move at 10 steps/pixels per frame, than there must be an issue. Its possible that you're correct if either:

A) You have a very tiny robot, which is not allowed because it has to meet the costume size specification.

B) You haven't thought about heat seeking projectiles 

mine shoots heat seekers and can't be hit by them 

more like position seekers as sprites don't produce heat.

How close can you get to the robots location? Our tracker can get within 1 pixel!

mine is accurate enough to go really fast, get enough room for the bullet to hit you and you not have time to get away.  it is not that accurate but i bet it works faster.
