VOLTAGE (Signups)

(1/1)

8bean:


Since 2.5 is coming out I thought I'd give clickbeetle's overvolting script one last hurrah since nobody really used it.

General Rules
-DSL 2.4 IRL HW
-8 Entrants
-Electric Arena 2
-Double Elim Bracket

Gimmick
Your bot must use the overvolting mechanic in some way. Don't enter something that isn't affected by the overvolting change.
You must use the provided version of the game in order to compete. Do NOT download clickbeetle's file yourself and try to patch it over top of your existing copy. I have already installed everything correctly in the standalone copy located right beneath this message.

Building Rules
-I retain the right to reject any bot for any reason
-Robots that use servos or motorized hammers must be AI'd beforehand.
-One bot per person
-Multibots and walkers/shufflers are banned
Weapon Limits:
Spinners:
- VERTS: 2 large teeth (15+kgs) ex: Large Typhoon, Ripping Teeth, Large Nightmare, etc OR 4 small teeth (7-14kgs) ex: Small Typhoons, Cutting Teeth, Heavy DS Teeth, etc OR 8 Small/6 /Med/Large Beaters. Everything else will be a case by case basis
- HORIZONTALS: Can have either a max of 3 large teeth, or 2 large teeth + 2 small teeth.
- WEDGELESS DRUMS ONLY: Can use up to 12 Small, 10 Medium or 8 Large Beaters. Other teeth types would not be allowed on these bots.
- Use basic common sense if mixing weapons (ex: 4 small typhoons and 2 larges is not allowed on VS)
- TO CLARIFY A WEDGELESS DRUM: robots like DID and Roka are wedgeless drums(eggbeater in Roka’s case) whereas something like Phantom is wedged drum
----------------------
Axes/Hammers/Clamps:
- Just don't be dumb and use 3 frenzy hammers or something
----------------------
Flippers:
- Front/Rear hinges are allowed up to 1 Beta Burst/Motor or 2 VDMA R/P Bursts/VDMA Front Hinged/Storm Burst/Mag Snappers
- Top Hinges are allowed 2 Mag Snapper maximum. Pneumatics are banned
- ALL flipper types must have a flipping arc of 90 degrees _| <- like that.
-------------------
cheatbot2:
- Overkill motors are the ONLY other CB2 part allowed
---------------------------
Other:
- Spikes are the only damaging weapons allowed on the front of rammers, wammers are banned
- All DSL 2.4 IRL edition armors allowed
- Skirts only allowed on dustpans with proper support
- Ant Blades are banned for all bot types.
- Configbots are banned
- Bots that are too unstable will be rejected
FIGHT RULES
-1 havok reset allowed per match
-3 min fight
-Judges Decision will be based on Damage Aggression and Control
-If a robot has all of its wheels removed then it will be considered knocked out
-A manual countdown will be initiated if a bot cannot show controlled movement for more than 20 seconds

PSA: Turns out clicks overvolting script only allows for overvolting all motors at the same time rather than just drive or weapon so make sure to use the omni control board when building your bots.

8bean:
After a quick survey on interest, the field has been reduced to only 8 but the tournament will still run. Signups are now open first come first serve.

8bean:
Due to a clear lack of interest and over a week of signups without a single entrant, I think it's safe to say this tournament won't get off the ground. Therefore, I have made the decision to cancel VOLTAGE.
This thread can now be closed.
