I found the following about calculating group round scores from the source code (see below). Does anyone of you know how p (prob of robot winning battle) is ...
The p will depend on the bots entered for any individual. But over the entire population of robots it's equal to 1/2 for dual round and 1/6 for group round....

Still don't get it. You mean that Group Score = Points / (rounds participating * 6 * 1/6) ? Group Score = Points * (rounds participating * 6 * 1/6) wouldn't...
I think I found it in the Mac source code. Sorry to bother. Anyway, groupscores in RoboWar are scaled like this: /* scale group score to equal indivdual score...

I've been pretty busy as well. But there are still people who demands RoboWar, and that has motivated me to start to do some coding again! There will probably...

There is a working tournament automation facility. Only difference between it and the one at the old Mac version is that this one requires 6 robots to run....
I've assembled my robots to be uploaded. How many are we allowed? I'm assuming max hardware points is 9, right? I've got 3 top choices of robots, but if i'm ...
I would be happy to compete in a future tournament (especially since my last entry was so embarrassingly suicidal and buggy) if I have time, but I don't have ...
whoever ends up running the tournaments Id hate to see it go back to bad old days of 10 solo and 6 group rounds. The variance in the tournaments is such that...

IIRC, lasers were excluded around 1990 (plus or minus two years) because shielding tactics of the time made them completely useless. That being: once a bot had...
They were removed from the hardware store in Version 2.4 Beta which was released July 25, 1993 (I checked the version history =) ). They weren't banned from...
