Hello, I was just wondering how many people still do those in-game tournaments. I know I don't anymore, and was wondering what everyone else did.

Exhibition matches in the combat zone FTW! Apart from the giga AI pack!

I don't use HW's in tournaments because I usually end up with 4 bots. Result: LAAAAG.

You know, It would be cool to see a race tournament in DSL 3, or some new Tourny's...

Agreed. But hasn't it been discussed that making an AI try to race will not work?

I haven't since I got Starcore.  You don't get enough repair time to win with anything but a popup in Starcore, and even that's hard.  In order to make a bot that can win tourneys, it can't have very many parts on it.

Which means it IS possible to win in DSL with the right design, and I still do tourneys in DSL (though admittedly not very often).

So... yes, sorta.

And it is possible to make AI race, just check the DSL 3.0 preview thread.

I still do DSL tournaments, and I can win most of them.

On the original game, i do.  Not a lot, though - I get bored easily with the stock-ish bots.

I still do. Even thought it's almost impossible to win more than two rounds against Starcore AI, you can still win the season. I sometimes do it just to test my robot out in against a random opponent, or just for the heck of it.
