Wall climbing bot!

Postby Ehek » Mon Jan 11, 2010 11:10 pm

Hello, i am quite new here and i just wanted to make a contest, because nobody hasn't yet made one since 2010!
the goal of this contest is quite obvious, if you have seen the map, it is to climb that wall, but when you are at the top, your bot has to go down.

Rules:
1 ) your bot should be automatic.
2 ) you should NOT build an elevator, a stick or something stupid, you MUST CLIMB the wall
3 ) no scripts (thyme) are allowed
4 ) you are not allowed to modify the map, nor the gravity, and physical properties of the map
5 ) you are not allowed to fly in any way
6 ) you cannot have a bigger bot than 2 square meters (the red zone)
7 ) your motor strenghts cannot be infinite, you must make them smallest as possible (speed can be what you want)
8 ) you cannot use magnets or any other way to stick like glue to the wall

you are allowed to
1 ) use lasers
2 ) change the friction
3 ) have a quite low weight
4 ) begin the simulation, already attached to the wall

Points:
your bot is graded on 100 points:
1) 20 points for fastest climb (up and down)
2) 10 points for originality
3) 20 points for highest weight
4) 5 points for the one with most use of gears
5) 10 points for complexity of system
6) 10 points for lowest friction (0 for highest and 10 for no friction (object in contact with wall))
7) extra 5 points for most original
8) 10 points for design/style of bot
9) 10 points if it is possible in real life

PS I am the one testing the creations, upload them here.
you are not timed, i don't know how to make a timer! XD
you are allowed to change the collision menu of the wall, but if you do so, you must set the same on the whole blue thing!

You can use the "Edit" button, right near the top of your post, if you forgot to add something in.

Anyway, this looks good for a firs-post contest. I just hope you'll keep this updated ;)

this isn't self automated, but I figured since noone posted that I'd throw it in for Shigs and Gittles.

I made it back in 4.22. I've since had to change how it opperates so it doesn't work quite how it used to.

here's a video.

sorry i wasn't here because i was skiing this week!
the robot is quite cool, but it wasn't that sort of bot which i was thinking about
nevertheless here are the points:
1)20
2)10
3)20
4)0
5)2
6)0
7)5
8)10
9)0
that makes a total of 67 / 100 but most of the points did you get because you were the only one in the contest!
