In the Air Tonight Signups

[yoda9726]

 
Here we go....Signups will continue for 3 weeks, ending on October 19th, or until we fill the 32 bot bracket, whichever comes first.
 
Rules

Rules are as follows.
 
1. 32 bots allowed. In the event 32 entrants are not received within a reasonable amount of time, there will either be byes given to pad the entrants, or there will be a wildcard bracket to determine who gets the last spot in a 16 bot tournament.  The determination will be made based on how close we get to 32...
2. DSL Heavyweight
3. Your arena will be the Parking Lot
4. No cheatbot2, ai parts, or custom components allowed, except for.....
5...https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/123hovercraft.zip << that. brought to you by 123savethewhales, this is the hovercraft engine that is to be used on all bots.  The thrusters that come with it ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED
6. No wheels allowed, your mode of locomotion MUST be the hovercraft.
7. All building must be done in the botlab, therefore no BFE, AAM, or any of that other naughty stuff.
8. HAX mode IS allowed, providing rule number 9 is followed, and none of this 'exostacking' stuff
9. Realistic rule enforced.
10. Custom AI is allowed, provided it's not of the cheaty type, ie. no healing, constant damage, etc. etc.
11. Standard double elimination brackets.
12. Also standard havok rules. 1 havok restart per bot per match. On a second, disqualification.
13. No trinity, nasty pickle, whatever, controlled movement is the key here.
14. Multibots are allowed, both must be dispatched to count as a loss, and the two bots together must add up to no more than 800
15. matches are 3 minutes long.
16. having a component move under your hovercraft to gain lift is allowed, however, if your bot is designed to gain a few point lead and then shoot into the sky to avoid any further damage, I'll count it as an OOTA (My discretion, don't worry, i'm fair)
17. I can AI for you, but as always AIing yourself is the preferred method. 
18. All bots must have at least one ant battery for realism purposes, even if you don't use an electric motor.
19. Phil Collins references still encouraged.
20. Skinning of components is allowed, please send all files needed.
20. Bot must be received and approved before you're officially entered.  You get ONE update to your bot, but that's it.  Update can be a major change, However, your original bot must adhere to all rules, as well as be viable (my discretion). No boxes with a hovercraft and nothing else for a 'placeholder' for example.

Entrants:
Black indicates bot received
Red indicates bot received with a problem
Purple indicates bot received and approved
Blue Indicates bot is AI'd and ready to go

Yes !

Here's my bot yoda, attached in the post.

[Jack Daniels]

Oh wow, this should be interesting!

[yoda9726]

And, true to his word, Nary is the first to be entered in this.  Bot received and approved. 
 
to those with the save-me-a-spot card, if you don't wish to enter this tournament, your card will carry over if you wish, but please let me know if you don't want to enter. 

[Conraaa]

I'll be entering this one.
Now I just need to think of what to build.

[Badnik96]

I am gonna enter.

Look out for some kind of thing soon.

[Philippa]

Where is the wee paperclip thingy?

[yoda9726]

Where is the wee paperclip thingy?

The wawho what now?

[Philippa]

Where is the wee paperclip thingy?

The wawho what now?

The thing that everyone attatches BOT files to.

[ty4er]

Oh i wonder what clicking on this 'Additional options' will do...

Oh look you can attach thingys there...

[yoda9726]

yup, that'll do it. Or you can send it in a PM if you want, up to you

[Philippa]

Ohh... THAT'S where it is. Cheers

Note: Not AI'd 

[yoda9726]

Unfortunately, I can't allow that bot due to the following issues, No Hovercraft, Thrusters have been dissallowed, and must have at least an ant battery. 
 
That being said, I got a chuckle out of the bot. 

[Philippa]

Take 2. Made out of the original  chassis and blade.

[yoda9726]

That'll do. thanks
 

[Jack Daniels]

Bot sent.  Hope it is ok.  :D

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Why don't I get capital letters in my name? D:

[yoda9726]

Why don't I get capital letters in my name? D:

Fixed :P
 
Jack's bot approved

[Clickbeetle]

Good, entries are trickling in slowly.  I have time to build something.  (Got an idea I think will work that doesn't depend on thrusters.)
