That's a nice arena, Click.  If you would like me to do a little skin-work on that arena, let me know (although it looks pretty good as is!)

Gee, how long has it been since I entered a tourney .....?  Too long ........

I highly doubt that it will be.


Damn, I hate using glitches.

I'm working on creating a few possible entries, and I will submit the one that works the best.

Is there any place to download the arena?

Edit: Never mind, just reread the first post. Can't wait for this and other tourneys to start.

A couple more things you should expect that I didn't mention:

-There won't be a realistic rule.  Sometime I want to hold a stock tournament with a realistic rule, because it would be interesting to see what people could come up with.  But not now.  The LW and MW tourneys were both anything-goes, and I want to keep things consistent for the AI pack.

-AI parts and Snapper II's will be allowed, just like in previous stock tournaments.  Not cheatbot2 though.

-Trinity SnS's will not be allowed, unless you can somehow find a way to control one.

And just for the record, while the arena isn't exactly hostile to HS's, let me tell you it's a lot less friendly than the Combat Arena.  So don't think it's "HS-friendly".  My hope is that it will be a design where any bot type can win.

Well, there goes that idea:frown:. Then again, I can control it, but I might as well build something else.

IMO, the winner will be a 36 HS or a popup.

Is the rupt glitch allowed ?

Anything goes as long as it's in the bot lab.  Same as previous tournaments.

Rupt glitch is allowed.  But man, I haven't seen a new bot that actually uses that glitch in forever.

I think that the rupt glitch would be a bad idea, because if the bot misses the other bot when it launches or just launches the weapons at all, it is nearly guaranteed to leave the arena.

I was actually thinking of entering 2 MW caster armored rupt flippers as a multibot for BBEANS5.

But this against a 36 weapon HS like BBEANS5 will be stuffed of...

If the rupter idea still doesn't works (even on a HW) i'll just use the best popup i could build.

Fixed it.

Seriusly, don't stereotype like that.

I am stereotyping because 2 HS won the previous Stock BBEANS, and a popup and another HS were runner-ups.
