Realistic Robots
« on: July 31, 2019, 06:19:24 PM »
IRL HW
Judging will be a modified CC BattleBots style (5 aggression 5 damage 5 control) because AI doesn't have much strategy.
4 large typhoons 6 small typhoons
No offensive armor barring ramplates.
Only the irl packs found in a fresh copy of dsl 2.2 CE
Extenderbots are encouraged.
1 mech 2 micros
Bots will be accepted based on looks. I'm very lenient tho, so most bots will be accepted.
Robot Wars Studio 2016
If theres any loopholes, just think: "Would this be allowed in those other generic dsl irl hw tournaments?"

Entrant Limit?  Your entrant?  BFE, OBJ, CF?  Bracket Style?
I have several opinions.

fam, that's not really an exhaustive list of rules.

Rather than GTM having a back and forth between you and the mods, as a master of running absolute ****ing sh**shows of tournaments and since i'm feeling especially autistic tonight i'll write you some more detailed rules. open this reply up in a quote, copy the formatting and  then paste into the original post via editing.

Also, since I didn't want to put a note in the middle of the copying rules: you're almost certainly gonna have trouble if you have extenderbots encouraged because those are almost destined to havok and lag your game to sh**.

---~~~---COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE:---~~~---

Realistic Robots:

Tournament Rules:

Base Rules:

Mod: DSL 2.2 CE
Custom Skins: No custom components or IRL packs bar what is included in the DSL 2.2 CE.
Meta: IRL, with fairly lenient judging on what looks cool enough to be accepted. Just... make sure you at least try to make it look nice.
Weightclass: Heavyweight (800KG).
Disqualification Criteria: If your bot uses malicious or cheating custom .pys or havoks/lags the game so much I can't record, I'll disqualify you from the tournament. If you get DQ'd for Havoks/Lag before round 1 has finished filming, you can submit an alternative entry.
Host Privilege: If there are tournament-ending or breaking issues that can't be resolved within the current ruleset, I retain the right to retroactively edit the rules and otherwise break standard procedure to resolve this with permission of the majority of the entrants and a tournament mod.

Additional building rules:
  • You are limited to a maximum of 4 large typhoons OR 6 small typhoons, or 1 Mechavore disc or 2 Microvore discs.
  • No mix and matching limited weapons of different sizes - you can't use 3 large typhoons and 3 small typhoons, for example, since that'll give you more total damage points than 4 large typhoons.
  • No "Defensive Offence". Armor plates, ramplates and plows are obviously allowed, but using weapons as armor isn't fair or realistic.
  • Extenderbots are encouraged.
  • BFE, OBJRA2 and Component Freedom are all allowed if used in realistic manners that don't cause problems when recording (ie, havoks and lag).
Tournament Format and Battle Rules:

Judging: Comedy Central BattleBots style, with there being a maximum of 5 points to obtain in each category: Aggression, Damage, Control. Only a single judge, and the 5 points are split between each robot.
Arena: Robot Wars Studio 2016
Time: Matches will last 3 minutes of in-game time.
Bracket Format: Single elimination 1 v 1s.
Entrant amount: Between 8 and 16 participants, depending on how many people enter.

As I don't have a screenshot of my entry just yet, I'm not sending this to signups until I do. I will be entering however.
