Completing the bot ladder

I got a bit curious to find how many people have completed the bot ladder. Although one could click on the "Ladder" link on each players stats page to see where they are on the bot ladder, it would be very tedious and time consuming. So I setup a program to gather this once a day and a web page to see the result.

I am surprised how many top level players have not bothered to complete the bot ladder. Maybe they got bored before making it to the top

I'll bet there are some people who completed the bot ladder at some point in the past, but aren't on your list because the ladder has changed since then.

Did you use having beaten the top bot on the ladder as a proxy for having beaten the ladder? I notice Eltripas (my current auto-postal opponent) is listed on that page but his ladder page says he hasn't beaten Bomb2005P2 or Bomb2005Fast.

To go along with what Fritzlein said, I'm hoping to complete the current ladder shortly before the new bots from this year are added or replace the current set.

Yes, but that is just to shorten the list of players I need to check. I then loop through and check if they beat all the bots in the ladder. But there was an error in my second query which was causing this. Just fixed it. Thanks for spotting that.

Yes, I would guess that if we included them the list would be closer to 70 players.

What's interesting is that some of the bots that were originally on the ladder and were taken off I never defeated. I think I never played Clueless2005CC and some of the 2006 Gnobot versions.

Why can't bots be part of that list? Given that there is currently only one that has managed to complete the ladder (OpFor), I think that such a rare feat deserves to be publicized.

I agree. Any bot that finishes the bot ladder deserves recognition too.
