Background Info

An AI Python file that comes with Stock, specially designed for spinning weapons.

Versions / Variants

None, but a few AIs have been created based on this one, including Omni.py, Bee.py and FBSPlus.py notably.

How to wire

Very easy. Spinner.py uses just Forward and LeftRight analog controls plus a Spin control (better as a button)

Binding Variables

'range': Maximum distance to an enemy bot the bot will activate it's spinner weapon (when an enemy bot is closer than that value, the bot will spin). It has a very low standard spin value (3.0), hence spins only when the opponent is close if you did not specified the range value in the bindings, and this means failure. A value of 40 is generally enough.


Example Bindings Line

   list.append(("Lock Nut v2.3","Spinner",{'nose':math.pi*1.5,'radius':0.3,'range':99,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':70,'turnspeed':4,'weapons':(10,11,12)}))


Examples of RA2 Robots

Berserker, Tornado

Examples of Real Robots
