Category talk:Challenges

Hey all, I suggest to re-structure the Challenges category. Base on Challenges at the old wiki, I have this categories structure

• Category: Challenges
  • Category: Controlled Testing Environments Challenges
  • Category: Uncontrolled Testing Environments Challenges
  • Category: Movement Challenges
    • Category: Wave Surfing Challenges
    • Category: RoboRumble Movement Challenges
  • Category: Targeting Challenges
    • Category: RoboRumble Targeting Challenges
  • Category: Melee Challenges
  • Category: Extends-Robot Challenges

With this list of challenges:

• Targeting Challenge
  • Category: Targeting Challenges, Controlled Testing Environments Challenges, Challenges
• Targeting Challenge 2K6
  • Category: Targeting Challenges, Controlled Testing Environments Challenges, Challenges
• Targeting Challenge 2K7
  • Category: Targeting Challenges, Controlled Testing Environments Challenges, Challenges

Sorry for it really loooooooooooooooooooong. Any comments are welcome. » Nat | Talk » 14:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Top 100 robots APS/Survival Correlation

Alright, here this is better. I have calculated the robots with the top aps and survival differences compared to the robot they fought against. In short, if robot A with APS 80% fought a robot and got only 60% against it, that robot it fought would get a -20% (or as I am taking the absolute value in the difference). I also calculate the Standard Deviation from this so that a robot that is always 10% less then the APS of someone who fought against it would have a very low (in this case zero) Standard Deviation. Unlike the average difference, the SD is not calculated the absolute value (which wouldn't make sense, and would defeat the purpose of having it). I figure this list might be helpful in determining challenge robots. You can get the spreadsheet here. — Chase-san 22:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

You may notice that most well known and popular robots have higher SD then ones that are lesser known. This is expected behavior. Better known (and stronger) robots tend to get tuned against more often then those that are not and thus cause unexpectantly specialized robots against these robots, causing an increased SD due to fluctuations in aps and survival difference throughout the ranks.

This of course is not the only cause of SD increase, as that robot specializing and bugs also can cause fluctuation as well.
