Videos of 6.370 tournaments
We have recorded several of our final tournaments. They appear below.
2013 MIT Final Tournament
Compared to previous games, this year's game featured more of an emphasis on economy and macro strategy. The goal was to destroy the other team.
2012 MIT Final Tournament
The object of the game was to build a chain of power nodes from your base to the enemy's base. The final tournament video can be found here.
2011 MIT Final Tournament
The 2011 game featured robots with modular components. The goal of the game was to destroy the other team. Unfortunately, we don't have a video of the 2011 final tournament.
2010 MIT Final Tournament
The object of the game was to gather points by constructing contiguous blocks of buildings. The area contained within the convex hull formed by the buildings generated points each round. Of course, the other way of winning was to wipe out the other team.
