NEXT CHALLENGE

October-December 2009 JROBOTS Challenge (October 3rd-December 26th 2009)
aka JROBOTS 2K9 Q4!

Rules

  • The challenge will start on October 3rd (at about 3 PM GMT): the statistics will be reset and the robots will fight to win the October-December 2009 JROBOTS Challenge.
  • During the challenge you can update your old robots (in both Veterans' and Cadets' League) and even send new robots in the Cadet's League.
  • The challenge will end on December 26th (at about 3 PM GMT).
  • The matches are chosen by the Battle Applet using a weighted algorithm: every time a match ends, the applet computes the placing list; in the next match the first robot is chosen with a probability proportional to its percentage, then the others robots (one for single and bouble, three for team play) are chosen with a probability proportional to the difference of their overall victory percentages (read the January 2002 NEWS for details about this new selection strategy).
  • At the end one or more robots will have the largest number of matches played, say N. The winners of the three categories will be the robots with the best victories/matches percentage and at least N/4 matches played.
  • In the Veterans' League, the robots below the 50% in Single and Double play and below the 25% in Team play (first four placed apart) will be degraded to Cadets.
  • In the Cadets' League, the robots above 50% in Single or Double play or above 25% in Team play (at least two must fit - except when the negative category is in the demotion area) will be promoted to Veterans, while the robots below the 25% in Single or Double play or below the 12.5% in Team play (at least two must fit - first four placed apart - except when the positive category is in the promotion area) will be removed from the arena.
  • The name of the winning robots will be recorded in the Jrobots Challenges Hall of Fame (here).

    Good Luck!

    Yellow-colored robots were promoted to Veterans
    Pink-colored robots were removed from the arena
    * the robot didn't reach the N/4 limit

    Comments

    In the third-quarter Challenge of 2009 (2K9Q3) the cadets played very few matches, so their results are unreliable.
    Instead, the struggle between the Veterans shows interesting results:
    The demoted veterans are: DarkSoldier, Jimbo, 854bytes, GulleFjun, Errata, Bosozoku, Janeway, Butterfly, FlameBall, RoboOlm, Teddybear, KillerBees. We can see that the old aged KillerBees is going to fight against the poor cadets again.
    The survivors are: Mouth (DT), Tinker (D), KillJoy (D), Bohan (DT), HellFire (ST), Stately (ST), DOOM (788), Multiple (6-5-14), IonStorm (534), StrangeMatter (423), Starkle (345), Spike (262), Tango (111). A small maniple of new robots achieved the requested percentage to survive in at least one category. In particular, Multiple has got very interesting percentages of success in all the categories, but there are still margins of improvements in team category.

    Now you can upload your jrobots to win the October-December 2009 JROBOTS Challenge (October 3rd-December 26th 2009) aka JROBOTS 2K9 Q4!
