I have ideas to start a tournament. After getting the required programs, I can finally host it. Welcome to Robot Emperor

Rules:
-DSL-IRL HW
-There will be 16 entrants, divided into four groups of four. Each group will have a rumble, with two of the winners being allowed to advance into the main bracket.
-The main bracket will consist of eight robots, seeded based on their past history and performance on the qualifier rumble.
-1 entry per player
-If you cannot AI, I can AI for you. However, it is preferred if you AI your bot yourself
Build rules:
-All bots must incorporate at least one active weapon. For example, a rammer must have a moving weapon, like a stabbing spike, a lifting wedge etc.
-Thwackbots, SnS, and Meltybrain allowed. However, for the former two, they also have to incorporate at least one active weapon, unless if they can move while spinning, where they will be classified as a Meltybrain.
-Servobot is not allowed, unless if you can AI it yourself
-Clusterbots and drones are allowed. However, given the format of the tournament, be warned that during the qualifier rumble, only one of the clusterbot’s component can be entered. You can also enter a The Swarm style bot, but only two of the bots can enter per battle.
-Swiss army bots allowed, with unlimited amount of modularity, including major ones, like changing an entire weapon, or minor ones, like an attachment to help in a fight against a specific bot type. However, you must send me a message about what config do you want to use within 24 hours. If the 24 hours time runs up, then I will just use the original config.
-Walkers and shufflers allowed, with 100% and 50% weight bonus for them, respectively. However, that weight must only go to the propulsion system, and not any other, like armor, weapon, batteries, and  motors. Also, if you want to enter one, you must AI it yourself too, or it won’t be allowed to compete
-Geese NPC motors are fine. Madiaba smartzones are fine. DSC’s - IRL packs are also fine. CB2 components are also fine, as long as they are not abused too much, like using stronger version of non CB2 components, using the invisible motor, too much OP components, etc
-RA2CF, BFE, OBJRA2, and other tools or stuffs (like component skinning, though you have to send me the custom skin file too for that) to help with making IRL bots allowed
-Mechavore, Microvore, Minion, and Mini Minion disc is allowed. However, for those discs, and CB2 replica discs, there is a limit of one disc, and no mix and matching between discs.
-Eternalflame.py is banned
-Don’t be a tryhard and send one bot like that
Battle rules:
-Arena is the 2016 Robot Wars Arena
-Battles will be 3 minutes long
-Battles with Havok will be rerecorded. If I already recorded it three times after the original Havok’ed, and all of them end in Havok, then I will use the one with the mildest Havok.
-Robots that get immobilized (either by losing more than 50% of a clusterbot’s total weight, or losing mobility, which will be defined as controlled movement) will be counted out. In the event that the in game counter did not appear due to game limitation (like a bot considered moving, but uncontrolled, and being harassed by opponents), then I will start countdown manually, starting from 5 seconds after I detected no mobility.
-If 3 minutes passed without a KO, then a Judge’s decision will happen. There will be three categories to be scored for, with 35 points per bot:
Damage: 3 x (1-5)
Agression: 2 x (1-5)
Control: 2 x (1-5)

Accepted
Rejected

For active weapon if your using a piston and it runs out of gas I'm going to assume using it as a ram will still count towards scoring?

Yes. Even with active weapons, the scoring won't be determined on it, so even if you lose your active weapon, you can still rack damage, aggression, and control points if your bot can

We have a sign-ups topic.
The quoted rules cannot change now.  Good luck.
I have several opinions.

Plerco's entry is accepted

Edit: TheOrcCorp's entry is also accepted. Nightraven Shade's entry is also accepted. Guldenflame's entry is accepted too. Also, just to add, Nightraven sent me two entries, so I had to reject the one that i thought was too unrealistic, and I choose SpinDizzy

Re: Robot Emperor - Signups (5 spots remaining)
« Reply #8 on: July 17, 2018, 08:31:26 PM »
Evil Toaster's entry is accepted

Edit: TheRoboteer's entry is also accepted, as well as CloneKiller's entry. Daddentry is also accepted, meaning one spot is left for players to join

Edit again: Finally, all the spots are filled after Kaiser signed up and get accepted. Will finish the rest of the splash (and I just have to finish the bot 16 one, as 1-15 had been finished already), as well as AI the not AI'ed entries yet, before starting the SBV, with group and award posted, and then recording and making videos from there

A wonderful range of entrants from new to old. Best of luck to you all.

Out of the recognizable names, Dragon Rising, Speed Demon, Wings and Deadgnaws will be the ones to beat.

Pokebro suggested to me that I should do an after tournament rumble for those who missed to sign up, and Hoppin allowed me to do that, so you can send an entry for the after tournament rumble with Pokebro, Geese, and Bildschirm
