Chassis Swap-Up - Signups

[Badger]

Rules:
Stock, Unrealistic, Standard ruleset (BFE, AAM etc banned as per usual)
Heavyweight
16 entrants, 1 entry per person.
Multibots allowed, but if one dies they both lose.
SnS, Crawlers and ghey stuff banned. Unless you do something cool like that SnS flipper.
No more than 20 irons/maces/bear claws on pure HS. Do something interesting.
RO7 break allowed, the one that lets you do a million chassis points allowed.
1 havok restart per match per bot, any further havoks count as a round loss.
No skinned or custom components (but I have sage's skin pack so I'll let that slide)
I can AI, but not very well (ask RedAce about my AI skillz), I strongly suggest you AI your bot yourself.
Bots may not be updated
Arena will be The Trauma Pit
The bye bot is Snake Bite 2

Gimmick:
All entrants must only submit a chassis. I'll reject you if you send something that's impossible to build with or just max size etc. Make it interesting folks, get creative with the paintjobs too.
After everyone has submitted their chassis, I'll then send every entrant a different chassis the the one they submitted
You CANNOT change the paintjob of the chassis given to you.
There will be a deadline after all the chassis have been distributed to get your finished bot back in. Any slowpokes will be replaced by a byebot

Black: Received
Red: Issue (Spot is not reserved)
Orange: Chassis Accepted
Green: Bot Accepted

Signups will end a week from approval, at which point everyone will receive someone else's chassis. You'll then have a week to submit your final bot. Anyone who doesn't submit a bot in that time will be replaced by a bye-bot.
The bracket/group system will be a scaled down version of the PC group/bracket system.

i say drop the part where you pick bot types or w/e, i think it would be more fun just to see what people come up on their own with the oddball chassis'

[Conraaa]

I agree with dropping the bot type, I think it's a bit too limiting.

[RedAce]

I can AI, but not very well (ask RedAce)

Uh, excuse me?

But yeah, take away the bot type thing and we're good as it's too limiting and might not work with the chassis you are given.  Other than that, I think we're good.

[Thrackerzod]

I can AI, but not very well (ask RedAce)

Uh, excuse me?

I think he means "ask RedAce how bad at AIing I am"

anyway, there's gonna be so many swastika bots

[Badger]

Added a poll, removed the bottype restriction.

This. And I'll probably stop accepting swastikas after the first 2

[Reier]

sounds fun

IF because you know

[Thrackerzod]

good

[R01]

Guess I'll enter, agree that the bot type thing would be limiting, but at the same time it would make sure that we don't have SNS/Popups/HS only.

[WeN]

Stock? i am in!

[Mecha]

Stock? i am in!

same

[Badger]

Just an update, I'll move this to signups when there are fewer tournaments in signups, since currently tournaments are having difficulty filling up.

[WeN]

i will sent you bot so fast when the sign up started

[Gulden]

Question: Can we change the orientation of the chassis after receiving it? (Which way faces forward)

[Badger]

Sure

[Badger]

OK, so I start work in 3 weeks and so I'd like to get this thing at least partially done while I have free time. Some slight rule changes/additions, and we're ready for signups!

This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. Have fun, you've got 9 months.

[Badger]

Doubled the slots, so there are 8 more left. You still have a week, so get building those chassis!

[Dreamcast]

I'll bite. It sounds like a stock Chinese Whispers of sort. I expect to be trolled with a 2x7 rectangle.

[apanx]

Entered tournament. Can't build bots to save my life.
Enjoy my chassis. Blame Mr AS.
