This is a building competition for all the lovers of classic robot wars.

All you need to do is build a robot resembling a robot from the series, E.G. Wheely big cheese.
The robot has to work reverent weapons working.

Rules:
DSL only.
Glitches are allowed and cheatbot anything to get the best looking bot.

apart from that try and make them as real as possible.
PM the bot to me.

All entry's have to be in by 30:03:13 (might be extended but don't count on it)

Due to school and sudden realisation (and inability to spell to the point spell checker can't work it out) of time needed there will be no proper tournament.
Any way there will be 20 places:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20

The name has to be included.
I am not entering and I will pick the 5 best and a vote will be cast on the best 5 but images will be posted of the others as well. A award will be awarded to the most bizarre robot you can find. ( It has to be real though)

Can you be more specific?

Is this a tournament or a voting contest?

I'll get right on it.

Hello new member.
Feel free to take a look around...

Or feel free just to run aimlessly headlong into a chasm.

You want the bot file or just a picture?

Bot file please. Its to see if all the things work as they should and there might be a tournament if I get enough Bots. It will be 3 bots fighting each time and um yep that's all for the moment.

1) Need to check that there's three of us and well I cant personally AI.
2) Yes. but the quality will be as much as my previous videos.

Just to save possible ripping apart from others, I'd recommend you read this as soon as possible

If you want to learn how to AI I would recommend these 2 things:
AI Chart
AI Essentials

What weight class?

ty4er · « **Reply #11 on:** February 23, 2013, 06:06:37 PM »

dude what

firstly, you need to atleast have some basic knowledge/skills before you can just walk in and start a tournament. such as being able to ai and being able to give us the right info. to me this sounds a lot like replica wars

and what the

is up with the deadline date man

well, off to make a MW BFE'd replica of Sir K using cheatbot2 parts then.

Okay, make sure you have read that thread I posted, and make sure your first post has all the relevant information it requires.
You will need to learn how to AI or find someone willing to do it for you (unlikely) if this is a tournament where you will actually have the robots battle each other independently from you and film it (go to any Brackets and Vids thread to see what I mean)
If you need a good example of a first post in a discussion thread to see if you have everything, CombatAnts 3 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,13117.0.html) is a good example, but BBEANS is the recognized standard, if you can find those threads...

Please, drop me a PM if you need a hand.

Also just remember everyone else, the guy is new, don't rip into him ;p

EDIT: Okay, even if this is a voting contest (where people just vote for their favourite - to clarify), you still need to set out parameters like weightclass and glitches allowed. Remember, voting contests do not have match videos.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2013, 10:15:19 PM »

this is by no means ready for signups.

cephalopod · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2013, 06:12:00 AM »

anything to get the best looking bot? Excuse me while I use WBC components to make a WBC rep, which is entirely unrealistic, uses hax mode and has a nifty.

Hey, (Btw this is Jamie).

Yeah, like the others said, you need to set a lot more rules etc.
I might be helping with AIing if this does turn out to be a tournament and not a voting contest but yeah.
