Should you also limit how many flamethrowers you can have? Maybe like 4-6 I think.

That'll only matter if eternalflame.py is allowed. Having more flamethrowers doesn't mean more damage, it just means you burn through your gas supply that much more quickly. I personally never have more than two.
...I'm assuming eternalflame.py will be banned, right?

Interesting idea, I might give it a go if it happens. Are the flamethrowers from cb2 allowed and are we allowed to put the flamethrowers on turrets?All flamethrower components are allowed (so yes) and yes flamethrowers on turrets are allowed
A tournament with no active weapons sounds about as exciting as pulling teeth.Because it's not another IRL tournament with the exact same rules?
Well I get to name a bot Barbecue Flavah and have it make sense for once, so I'm in.
Because watching weaponless boxes bump into each other for 3 minutes with no chance of a KO unless the AI ****s up and one of the bots drives down the pit isn't entertaining?A tournament with no active weapons sounds about as exciting as pulling teeth.Because it's not another IRL tournament with the exact same rules?
This is a themed tournament dude, if you don't want to join in you don't need to
As this tournament is themed around one weapon, it defeats the purpose if other weapons are used as main weaponryBecause watching weaponless boxes bump into each other for 3 minutes with no chance of a KO unless the AI ****s up and one of the bots drives down the pit isn't entertaining?A tournament with no active weapons sounds about as exciting as pulling teeth.Because it's not another IRL tournament with the exact same rules?

A lot of tournaments do the exact opposite of banning active weapons for a reason

(where tf did you get these arenas) Uh sure?All but the Trauma Pit are from the Robot Wars RA2 mod
this is a supremely bad ideaWell due to the comments of certain people I think this is the way to go
flamethrowers cannot break other robot's parts off and can't KO chassis, meaning this tournament is going to basically be weaponless boxes smacking into eachother repeatedly with the loser being worn out due to flamethrower damage to the motors slowing the robot to a crawl.
the only way this will work is if you make it a Flamethrower Hybrid tournament where robots must use flamethrowers alongside a second weapon type, with a strict weight limit on how much weaponry the second system can have (75-100kg maybe?)

How in the **** did you need people to tell you that a pure flamethrower comp was a bad idea. Jesus christ you're a rock
There's doing a gimmick properly (Colour Clash, Chassis Swap-Up) and then there's banning all active weapons because uNiQuE.I want to try something newthis is a supremely bad ideaWell due to the comments of certain people I think this is the way to go

All there is on GTM is the same tournament under a different name

A tournament being unique doesn't make it good. Some ideas aren't done because they're terrible ideas
so if custom flamethrower parts are allowed can I build a VS with flamethrower spikes then :really_makes_you_think:I'm intrigued
A tournament being unique doesn't make it good. Some ideas aren't done because they're terrible ideasCan confirm from experience. Personally I see this as a good opportunity to build a turret flamethrower bot but its not gonna attract many bots.
flaming flatmotorsthis but unironically
Can you unban flatmotors for this tournament? Robots are gonna need help with their weights because of having to put weight into flamethrowers and gas tanks so unbanning flats would be a really good way to balance that outYeah I'm unbanning flatmotors, this sounds like a good idea
can you allow the super flat motors?I'm allowing flatmotors so yeah, can't really tell if this is sarcasm or not but whatever

Is this competitive irl 2?No its bugglebots 2020.
hey when we getting this started?Can I just open signups anytime?
I mean, you're the one running the tournamenthey when we getting this started?Can I just open signups anytime?
I'm going to say the N word if this opensOpening signups now!
I'm going to say the N word if this opensSay it
For Playzooki's entry, instead of potentially rejecting it because you're unable to AI, why not try and get other's to help you AI it?Well the AI should be wrote by the owner (thought that went without saying), but I want as many entries as possible so if anyone can fix this then fair:
Is this tournament still happening?Well if I've just posted a message saying an entry has been accepted, what do you think?
Ooga booga I must enterSend it then
Your reddit karma will be there in about 2 hours good sir.Ooga booga I must enterSend it then
Signups are still openHopefully signups fill up by the end of the decade.
Friendly reminder
They won'tKEK
Who are you lmaoThey won'tKEK
But yeah I don't think that's gonna happen jaydee.
