Brackets and Vids Here

Ok, guys. We've encountered a small problem....
It stems from taking over someone else's unfinished project, and also from a valid point that all "Rules" should be posted on the first post of the Tourney's thread. The problem is that Cuda mentioned later in the thread that all bots were to be plastic armor. Several entrants apparently did not see this later post, and submitted other-armored bots. So we have to redo somethings here.
Therefore, the entrants who want to can (A) redo their bots, or (B) leave them as-is. If they choose (A)to redo them, then the bots must be kept in the same basic style as before(no change of a HS into a rammer,... etc.), and must mod them in accord with the following Rules:
1. DSL
2. any armor is acceptable.
3. no AAM, cheatbot2 or aftermarket parts
4. free to use all in-game, botlab 'Attachment' glitches.
5. everything must be realistic (no overlapping or interferential components).
6. only bat stacking is OK.

You must get your modded bots in by this Sunday afternoon, else it will be assumed that you want option (B) for your old bot to be used. Sorry for the tight deadline, and to be fair for all it must be started over from the beginning with all bots on the same playing field...
Feel free to make new predictions once the splash is up.

Anything I missed, let me know.

I think, it would be more fair to start where the tournament left off, though you are probably right.

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, starting it over is probably the best thing to do.

So does it have to be the same bot type, or the actual same bot, just modded a bit?

Madiaba · « **Reply #3 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:29:23 AM »

Modded slightly is fine, since that is necessary to change the armor. Just keep it the same type bot.

K. My rebuilds should be in soon.

Well i have a brand new SnS that makes wonders... but the chassis, drive, armor and weapons are entirely different from Cataclysm... (While still being a SnS of course)

Is it good if i enter something really different as long as it's the same robot type?

I edited Doomsday to have a little less battery power and more CO2 tanks.

The problem with the french is they don't know the meaning of the phrase "Thinking Ahead".

Why on earth are your bots "outdated" every 2 days?

Some people improve very fast.

Because Cataclysm is nearly 3 months old.

Well, I've got a couple in now. Thanks, guys.

Sounds good, Reier.
Nar, just try to keep in somewhat alike.

Somebody · « **Reply #11 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:13:15 PM »

Mine are sent.

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:36:11 PM »

Right.

They are rebuilt right now. I will AI them and send them to you soon.

(Cataclysm has 1 more ant batt and Iron Fist went from 5mm Plastic to 3mm Titanium)

Reier · « **Reply #13 on:** March 15, 2009, 02:12:14 PM »

Hey Mad, can I talk to you on Yahoo about Doosday? I have a question.

Madiaba · « **Reply #14 on:** March 16, 2009, 01:31:55 PM »

I'll extend this until today. Last call for any updates....
So I can give them to Sage for the new Splash (see what you're up against)...

If we are going to redo the matches, please make the brackets different.

Somebody · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2009, 07:38:34 PM »

I agree.

Madiaba · « **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2009, 12:52:19 AM »

Already in the works...

Sage · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2009, 03:32:08 PM »

ATTENTION:
NEW BRACKETS ARE UP. PLEASE FOLLOW LINK IN FIRST POST.

Naryar · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2009, 03:57:53 PM »

Probably going to destroy Smackinator again... hehe.

The Ugly... again a HS. It's armor is really weak so i think i have a chance. But Urjak probably took my advice and swapped the 2 battlepacks for 5 ants...

New splash ?
