Inspiration

Divine.

What it does

Tanks have an overlord which gets all the information from the tanks and then sends the tanks (to their deads) to attack the closest targets/get health/get ammo.

How we built it

Our amazing Physics master used his trigonometric powers to aim at things and avoid friendly fire. Our Quidditch master came up with the snitch logic (and then dropped it? Who knows! At the time of the writing I don't). The Python master kept telling people obscure facts about how Python works. Overlord master set up a god that tells our bots what to do.

Challenges we ran into

Snitch has the type Snitch, not the name snitch. Also our seeker seemed to have a stage fright and freeze whenever the snitch actually appeared. Predictive aiming is actually quite hard, so we discarded that and ran after the target instead.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It kinda works.

What we learned

Sleep is a good thing - we are actually still alive and having fun.

What's next for MSTanks - Sorry I Eat Guts
