Battlebots Simulator - new eps available
« on: June 25, 2020, 03:27:33 PM »
I came up w/ this idea when BB filming was postponed, and last week decided to go ahead w/ it.

The rules I set myself:
- The external appearance must be IRL, internal clipping doesn't matter as the reps in the pack itself have such clipping.
- Reps in the 2019 BB pack will be used, and if the bot isn't in that pack, I will port it over from the 2018 pack.  Any yet to appear on the discovery seasons or the reps of in the pack break the external IRL appearance I will build a rep of myself.
- Due to the reps in the pack don't seem to follow a hard weight limit, neither will my reps to even the playing field.
- cheatbot2 use is prevalent in the reps in the pack, so I haven't banned any components outright, but will use non-cb2 parts where I can get a reasonable degree of accuracy both aesthetically and functionally.
- I will only customise components for my reps where needed for aesthetic accuracy.

Match rules:
- 3 minute fights.
- in the event of a JD, the points will be the same as in proper BB; 3 for damage, 2 each for aggression and control.  Any form of aggression will count.
- If a bot is KOd by a havok, broken physics cause other weird stuff or the game crashes, the fight will be restarted rounded to the nearest minute.  Second time such a thing happens will be a JD.
- The arena used will be the robogames arena reskinned to the battlebox which is in the pack.

Bots which will be represented by a replica, 48 bots which have had their participation in the 2020 season publicly confirmed:

I'm currently working on the reps of bots that will be in ep 1.

UPDATE 10 SEPTEMBER: I am putting this tournament on hold until further notice.  This is due to me struggling for motivation to build the reps that are not already in the pack, and also w/ BB filming being announced for octomer, some bots that were originally planned to take part are no longer competing.  This might result in the competition only being w/ bots whose reps are already in the pack and are taking part in this years competition.

I made the image for the fight card before I made the reps.

Here's the updated plan: fight card format w/ 5 fights per ep, 30 bots, each of which will have 4 fights.  All competitors are returning from the 2019 season using the reps already in the pack (except shell spinners bc their reps are too sh**) and publicly confirmed for the 2020 season which starts filming tomorrow (as of me writing this).  The list of bots is in the spoiler below.

And the updated ep 1 fight card:
