RoboRally Arena II http://roborally_arena_ii.tripod.com http://members.tripodnet.nl/Seedling/ArenaII/ Competition: TWO Round: ONE Turn: ONE TURN ONE cards are due 0900GMT, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2001 (Unprogrammed 'bots cannot be programmed again in this Round). ROUND REPORT What has to rank amongst the more inspired, brilliant (some would say lucky) moves in Arena history. Lirkas with Radio Control managed to guide Ares into a pit and Ares on the way collected passive patti for the ride. As Lirkas correctly pointed out the only answer Ares had was a move 2 or 3 first up and perhaps a left turn would have helped as well. a right turn would have meant passive patti's survival but Ares would still be down a pit. Other than the lemming efforts of those two there was action elsewhere with Ruckuss taking first place by touching Flag2 and twonky grabbing second by getting to Flag1. Ares managed to shoot patti a few times before their untimely ends, and 386 also exchanged fire with the much maligned ex-bot, 386 is having problems touching flags preferring to drive right over them. two frags and two pucks have effectively halved the board population.
