Talk:Seraphim

Not that anyone cares to much. But I am working on rebuilding this robot.

The New Gun

I used the understanding of how her old segments were suppose to work, along with some old research, new research, and cross examination of many current open source robots to come up with a new set of all round segmentation for her gun. If you look closely you can see the correlation between the old Seraphims non adaptive scores and the new ones. However, better technology, understanding and some extensive tweaking, has allowed me to make gains against surfers (and also I think it is mostly how my new stat buffer choses the best bin, and how the bin scores are compiled).

Here are the scores for the gun up to my current tests, after it started to be somewhat competetive. These are the quick learning version of TC 2007.

The New Movement

Seraphims old movement was riddled with bugs, I have gone back and corrected it somewhat already, but the old version is far to difficult to maintain. Her original movement was based off basic surfer, I have no intention of doing that again. Of course such a basic template is useful, I think I know a better way to go about doing it now. I have many many ideas for the new surfing movement, but it will probably use a similar segments to what the gun has. After that I will tweak the buffers to deliver better scores in the MC2k6, and perhaps some work in MC2k7 as well. That new anti-surfer challenge looks like it might be fun as well.

White Whales

http://a.imagehost.org/0146/dookideafeat.png

So many whales so little time. Why I didn't mean to focus so much on surfers, Seraphim beats a number. Including Dookious! I realize one battle a definitive winner it doesn't make. But winning even one battle against such a powerful bot is something else.

The current robots that it beats that have been long time white whales are.

I don't want it to come across like I am bragging, I am just very excited! It also defeats many other newer and better surfers (just look at my MC2k6 score). I am keeping the development of what I have done in Seraphim in mind for a new robot.
