Ultimate Robo Rally Racing 2020 - Round 2 Entry

Post by Shadaza »

Google, Tesla, and other companies may be close to mastering road car AI in the modern world. But these companies are doing little to push the limits in motorsport.

This is where Team Ultimate, in partnership with Russian Robotics, comes in. We plan on showing what true peak performance is, with our specially built AI program. In 5 years we plan on having a program that could challenge the very best, in 10 years we believe that AI drivers will vastly outperform even the best professional drivers.

------

Dear *Team Owner*

We are confident that our AI is adaptable enough to fit into any road type and vehicle platform and will be sponsoring a world tour to highlight our system. Your car could be the platform to highlight the advance in ULTIMATE AI as you tackle some of the most brutal biomes in the world.

*Note, Team Ultimate will not be held responsible for any damages, injury or death in the unexpected event of AI malfunction. Enter at your own risk. AI system is not yet rated safe for human passengers.

--------------------------------

The Format:

Using BeamNG Drive as the platform. Teams are to select from a variety of vehicles in which to challenge difficult rally courses. BEAM offers literally hundreds of car variations from Trucks, classic cars, sports, rally, sedans, rock crawlers and more.

Events will be point-to-point, with cars released in any number from 1 to 10 at a time.
The ranking will be decided on the fastest time followed by ranking of furthest distance.

The ai program provided by Russian Robotics is in Beta stage. I suggest you pick a car that is durable.

-------------------------

Entry Form Template:

Team Name:
Vehicle Type:
AI Program Name (Optional):
---------------------------

No knowledge of BeamNG is needed, you can be as specific or vague in your car request as possible and I will do my best to fulfill the request with the ample tools provided both in base and mods.

Teams can be anything from serious car manufacturers to garage owners raiding local scrap yards.

If you are feeling extra involved, you could always make your own car on Automation and export it to Beam.

Teams may enter 3 vehicles, these vehicles could be the same or totally diffent. Enter a full mad max style team or 3 identical WRC cars. Up to you. This is a showcase of the weird and wonderful.

Tank? A Tank!?!, you don't seriously want to put an AI into a tank do you? At the risk of being declared an enemy combatant by the UN, the tank has been declined. However, I do have large military-themed vehicles like a troop transporter truck or a 1940-50's style Willys Jeep.

The V8, easy request. You have an early 90's American Grand Marshall.

I do have a Fiat Uno which I think has the same kind of energy as the Sandero. Small, cheap, fun.

This one is tricky, I have two cars that might fit. A Bitroen (Which is a Citroen C2) 1.6 Rally car, however it's a junior rally car with only FWD, or I can give you an AWD Covet which looks more like a budget lancia delta than a modern rally car. You want 3 of the same car, So I kind of want you to have something you are happy with.

Everyone else either gave clear BEAM instructions or I have approached on discord. I will be closing entry for round 1 later today as we already have plenty of varied entries :).

Re: Ultimate Robo Rally Racing 2020 - Round 1

Post by Shadaza »

Entry Closed for round 1, the Desert Trial.

We have 28 entries. For this event, both stage 1 and stage 2 the field will be divided into 7 heats of 4.

Stage 1: A flat sprint on a dusty trail with large rocks lining the sides of the road. This then opens up to a split high low road option that then rejoins for the final dash to the finish, a punishing sharp rock-strewn pathway.

Stage 2:
The 28 cars will then be divided based on their stage 1 result and put into a 4 lane "excite bike" style drag race over undulating hills.

Both events will be ranked first by the fastest time and then DNF's will be ranked on distance traveled.

The randomly drawn 7 heats.

It is thus DVORAK-20R1, the ai installed into a stock RWD ETK that will be in lane 1.
In 2, it's TGT's first entry the Jeep (not a tank!) hamster.exe
In 3, the first heavy-duty off-road, the D series Dakar special pickuptruck.
and in lane 4, a curious choice, a Bollide Supercar...good luck!

Image


Heat 1:

The D series immediately pulls into the lead, the ETK and Jeep trade places as the ETK struggles to get the power down and just meters from the start line, the Bolide has lost control and span into a rock. The incredible AI program is able to restore control of the car for a further 0.7 miles before it crashed into a ditch and burst into flames, progress!

Meanwhile, the ETK program has finally hit a steady pace and after the track-split has closed to near touching distance of the leading pickup truck. The more aggressive bumps through play havoc and the ETK's right front axel has been snapped and the car has dug into the ground. Out.

This leaves the D series clear to take a commanding win, the pickup survives without even a scratch! But it's bad news for the Jeep, a bad clip on the uneven ground has to lead to a sextuple barrel roll, with everything above the steering wheel completely torn off the car! But in an amazing demonstration of machine progress, the AI remains undamaged and guides the rest of the car over the finish line, just shy of 1 minute behind the winner.

Overall leaderboard.
1. D stands for Dakar - 02:55
2.TGT Engineering 1 - 04:11
3.MKHGT 3.2 miles
4.Genesis Technology 0.8 Miles

Heat 2.

https://i.gyazo.com/468855d9870cf0e4037 ... e3e7ea.jpg

Hirochi "Sunbursts" to heat victory! "Ichi" completed the first 2 sections (the drag and split) in a rapid pace but found the rocks a harder challenge, taking a battering and falling short of the D series benchmark time by 13 seconds.

The biggest moment of the heat was the 70mph head-on collision (the link above) between the spinning group B Quattro and the 8x8 utility truck! The Utility Truck took a puncture but went on to finish the course in a respectable time. The Quattro had the entire front torn off and was out on the spot.

The Bitroen/Skoda held 2nd for most the run but had its radiator and then entire front end destroyed shortly after reaching the rocks.

Heat 3: https://i.gyazo.com/aee51ddd2fdac455772 ... 63f3aa.jpg

The oddest drag race! The monster truck surged to an early lead before fishtailing at 100mph and crashing out. Then the GTR Bolide from Loonmotors took the lead looking surprisingly stable....until it wasn't. Losing the entire rear of the car in a shunt. That left the 3 wheel Pidgeon through to take an unexpected heat victory! But unfortunately not a stage completion, getting itself stuck on a shallow rock. The Lada? Unfortunately never really got going, spinning early and getting stuck on its rather excessive trim.

https://i.gyazo.com/ec534c702ee6feb4abf ... f4e1e0.jpg

Heat 4, the two Hirochi SR4's of North Star Automation were the star attractions of the heat.
The Hill Climb special might be the fastest overall platform in the Robo Rally and rocketed to an expected early lead ahead of the more modest but sensible sister car. Behind, disaster struck the Fiat Uno immediately as the very first bump faced by its bouncy springs sent it flying into a boulder less than 100 meters into the stage and out on the spot.

The Hill climb car spun coming out of the split section managing to avoid damage but on return to the track forced the 3rd place Bitroen/Skoda AI to attempt evasive maneuvers. It fell in a ditch.

The two SR4's were left alone to try and finish the stage and put up valiant efforts over the rocks, the road version falling just short of the finish line.

Formation Flying at 80 mph

Hirochi Motorsport had "Ich" finish, will "San" prove as capable? It certainly shot to an early lead leaving the other 3 equally paced cars. The Grand Marshall, Skoda and North Korean Lada battled for what would soon become the lead as the Sunburst has launched into the scenery! This Skoda beat it's two brothers but again was caught out by the rocks. Leaving two and the finish line in sight. Heartbreak for the Marshall, as a late stone unfortunatly took out the front axel leaving the car beached. As North Korea won the heat, though the time was a rather cautious one.

Edgell have their Ups and Upsidedowns.

Heat 6 featured both Edgell Racing cars, their "Ford" Raven and their "Troller" Hopper. The former launched to an early lead having some real acceleration to it but ended up roof bound leaving the latter to romp home the heat win in a respectable time. Behind it came another finisher, the Dyson Motor Roamer did well to keep the Troller insight. Loonmotor entered an ETK with insane turbo lag, frankly, the Ultimate AI showed it's true power by keeping it pointed the right way for as long as it did.

https://i.gyazo.com/de7c1d773caf490c299 ... 6738ff.jpg
Prodrive ai goes rogue.

The final heat, featuring the "Ghost of Dale Earnhart." The giant North Korean Kamaz truck, Prodrive Subaru and a 3rd ETK.

Like other heats, the sporty cars made excellent starts with the Prodrive turbo producing an incredible peak power output. Too much power, the Mcrae ai span into the path of the ETK which managed the save of the century to both dodge and control the sliding car! The DPRK machine smelt blood though and was gaining on the North Star machine until finally, the poor ETK gave out. The Kamaz truck extends it's legs and crosses the line at a high speed, it's slow to accelerate but when it get's going it becomes a freight train. The Moonshine runners were close to finishing, the car really was looking great but a tank slapper saw an undamaged machine stuck in a ditch off-road, oops.

With all the heats over, the Dakar D series "Safari" remains the quickest after the first day of running.

Welcome to Stage 2 of 2. The "Excitebike" level.

Heat 1 gives the bottom 4 from the first stage a chance to show what they can do. The brave little Fiat Uno, last in the standings managed to soldier the course in a slow 3:51. Whilst the poor Lada Covet again hit problems early and the North Korean entry looks set to end Round 1 in last. Fortunately, the stablemates have had better luck on the first stage and will run in later heats. The Insane Group B car seems to be a bit of a test for the Ultimate AI and again got a poor score. the GTI Bolide car was doing very well until it wasn't.

Heat 2
Prodrive left the carnage of the Monster Truck and Loonmotor behind to take a great heat win with a decent time of 3:14, this could prove hard to beat! The Monster Truck was simply too big and top-heavy for the narrow jump filled track.

Heat 3
Image

The Pidgeon may not have won the heat, but it certainly won our hearts today with a flying performance. Instead, it was the Skoda/Bitroen first entry that took the stage win from lane 3 with a good 3:19. Unfortunatly the 3rd Skoda entry got tangled after a bad jump and ended up dashed on the rocks about half-way down the course.

Heat 4

Skoda wins again from lane 3, a slightly slower time of 3:23 puts the 2nd car 3rd on the stage so far. The Hirochi factory teams 2nd car had a commanding lead and should have recorded a big win here, but it took the jumps too hard and a 90mph nose dive destroyed the car. Once again, ETK's have proven poor choices. The Hill Climb Hirochi SRB4 was certainly not expected to finish, it took a heck of a beating and rolled several times but to the delight of the crowd and AI team, finished after 3:40.

Heat 5

The outside lanes featured modern quick AWD cars, the centre lanes contained Moonshine and POWER 90's American V8's (The Grandmarshall and Le Gran). The Dale car must have been on the moonshine as it spun out and beached less than a mile in. However the MTK Le Gran quietly (for a noisy V8) stuck to the course and although not the fastest finished in 3 minutes 36. But we have new fastest from this heat. The Raven/Ford of Edgell racing even had a spin but with incredible acceleration rocked home in 3:08. Team North Star might have been hoping for another car to finish, but their more sensible SRB4 ended up stuck on it's roof not far from the end of the stage.

Heat 6

The slowest 4 finishers of the previous stage make up this race. The MTK Jeep looks tiny next to the 8WD utility truck. North Korea have a very steady Hopper in lane 3 with the independent Dyson Future entry Roamer in 4.

All 4 vehicles struggled with speed here and their massive weights (or tiny frame for the Jeep) were not best suited, nonetheless, all 4 of them finished with the North Korea car the clear front at 3:34.
The Utility Truck burst through the line seemingly carrying the other 2 with it as they all finished within 5 seconds of each other, 20 seconds off the NK Hopper.

Heat 7

The showdown. The top 4 from Day 1, Stage 1.

The Dakar Series, uh, D series truck. Vs The Hirochi Rally team. The Brazilian Troller sponsored by Edgell racing must just be happy to be here. Whilst in the middle is North Korea's attempt at world-leading AI.

The Sunburst sprints into the lead pushing hard, but manages to break the drive shaft leaving the car only on FWD power! The D series, undamaged, but perhaps driving cautiously is catching before deciding to back off massively. Scared of wrecking the car perhaps? The Sunburst, may be wounded, but powers on to win the final heat of the day, but will it be enough to win the stage and the round as a whole?

The Troller does a roller and is massively battered on all corners and rocks home 3rd passing the North Korean Kamaz at the final hurdle. It appears the Huge Dakar truck was really struggling on the heavy landings, has managed to get stuck at a 90 degree angle compared to the track and .... completes the first Round of action by bursting into flames.

So the time. The Hirochi Rally squad did it in....3:22. Oh no, that's only good enough for 4th place. The D series follows 6 seconds later and that's only good enough for 6th. Edgell racing are jumping up and down, they take the stage win ahead of Prodrive and MTI Skoda/Bitroen.
