It’s the Notch of Vex forum him self DRow.
More like Scott Cawthon. Also, don’t forget Jeb.
Just in case you were wondering… this is what was in Illyanas message under the arrow:
I saved the map and went on the forums to see if anyone else had found the pseudo-player. There were none. I created my own topic telling of the man and asking if anyone had a similar experience. The post was deleted within five minutes. I tried again and the topic was deleted even faster. I received a PM from username Herobrine containing one word Stop. When I went to look at Herobrines profile the page=“404 d”
I received an email from another forum user. He claimed the mods can read the forum user messages so we were safer using email. The emailer claimed that he had seen the mystery player too and had a small directory of other users who had seen him as well. Their worlds were littered with obviously man-made features as well and described their mystery player to have no pupils.
About a month passed until I heard from my informant again. Some of the people who had encountered the mystery man had looked into the name Herobrine and found that name to be frequently used by a Swedish gamer. After some further information gathering it was revealed to be the brother of Notch. I personally emailed Notch and asked him if he had a brother. It took him a while but he emailed me back a very short message:
I did but he is no longer with us.
Notch
Dang! How did you do it. My program usually scores 50-60.
better than mine
I keep hitting the wall and breaking things
So the strategy I used is to have the robot wait for a while so that there can be more trash generated.
I read this in early January, and it inspired me to try it myself. With some serious trial and error, I finally broke the 110 kg barrier.
The trick was just optimizing the wait time.
Can someone give me some tips on how to get a higher score
Two strategies my students used - 1) wait some amount of time for debris to hit ocean floor, 2) determine a cleaning path that covers most of the floor.
WORLD RECORD 120.5 kg
Hello everyone after a long time of trying i finally got a really good run and ended up with a score of 120.5 kg that im pretty sure is the world record (atleast for now).(If you know of a higher score pls let me know in a comment and if is possible a way to verify it or look at the current high score)
I actually upload a video of the run in youtube because i find it very easy to cheat and rig the certificate.
The link of the run is the next one:
I am excited to see how much more i can get, i hope this inspire someone else to try and get a better score .
TIPS FOR RUNS:
-Record everything.
-Run multiple simulations at the same time (if your computer can handle it of course).
-Wait some time for trash to spawn (In my code i waited 142 seconds).
-Get a good balance in the turn/drive velocity ( speed/batery )( I used 65 ).
-Be patient and lucky (this requires a lot of luck).
I wish good luck for eveyone planing to get a high score.
I am not a math expert but if my calculations are correct the best possible score is 153 kg (maybe more ) (This is only based on my speculations but it may change depending on how the game is coded ).
Well done! I would recommend you do the VEXcode VR Virtual Skills which has a leader board and is based on this years game.
Thank you, i will surely look into it.
That requires a paid subscription, right?
Teams registered for the season have access code on RobotEvents.com if I remember correctly.
I managed to get 121KG this morning but as a new user can’t upload my results. I set the challenge to over 100 students this week and the best two results were a 7 year old boy who got 71.5KG and an 11 year old who got 75KG. I started playing around as they had both beaten my best score and have now achieved my best score but feel there’s a bit more left in the tank.
