Active Tournaments / HFT: Rebooted
« on: June 05, 2025, 12:21:05 AM »
the longest running series on gtm has returned....

hft rebooted  heck


Format
- DSL IRL 2.6
- HW (800)
- 16 robot double-elimination minimum
- Qualifiers or bracket expansion if needed (there will be no free byes)
- Up to 4 entries per builder (1 guaranteed, up to 3 reserves)
- Judging will be split between Damage (5), Aggression (5), Control (3), and Style (2)
     - Damage based on functional damage inflicted, not superficial or game score
     - Aggression based on initiating contact deliberately
     - Control based on ability to steer and direct towards the opponent
     - Style based on design originality and match entertainment

Rules
- No flamethrowers, cheatbot2, or custom components
- Reskinned components fine, as long as they do not conflict with others
- BFE allowed as long as it is not used solely for a competitive advantage
- If you do not provide AI, a generic AI will be provided for you
     - I also reserve the right to tell you to do it yourself
- Havok explosion may result in match restart or disqualification
     - If the havok does not significantly impact the match, or if the havok explosion only affects the bot responsible for the havok explosion (e.g. a robot which suffers critical damage flipping over due to its own part loss)
- Multibots allowed, but may require an accompanying reserve in the event that a qualifying rumble takes place
- No invincible armor

Disclaimers
- Entries preferably to be sent via the forum’s messenger with the subject line “HFTR”, but can be sent through Discord as long as I confirm that I've received it
- The rules are deliberately unrestrictive to encourage creativity, but IRL rules will be reasonably scrutinized
- Egregious weapon spam, stacking, or other strategies used to gain an unfair competitive advantage may result in builder disqualification
- Deadline is TBA

Entrants
1. Helloface (4/4)
2. TommyProductionsInc (3/4)
3. quanta01 (4/4)
4. botbuster (4/4)
5. SamFM42 (4/4)

Site News and Feedback / My apology.
« on: February 13, 2021, 01:06:05 AM »
I am sincerely sorry to Chris, Giece, the GTM community, the LGBTQ2A+ community, and whoever else I may have offended.  At the time, I was not aware that my usage of the t-word was offensive.  When I called 090901 a "cute little trap" I meant to do so as a gesture of affection.  It was not meant to degrade 090901 or be disparaging members of the LGBTQ2A+ community.  I realize now that I need to control myself better and choose better words to express my affection, especially when it comes to other members of the forum.  In 2021, we live in a society where ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse, and there really is no excuse for calling 090901 a "cute little trap".  In the future I will make sure to refrain from using the word "trap" to refer to people I am attracted towards.  I am sorry for everyone I have hurt by my actions and I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Tournament Archives / [DSL IRL HW] HFT5: Live - Signups
« on: March 03, 2017, 09:58:25 PM »
I have a reputation for not uploading tournaments properly, so I'm not giving my lazy ass the option to procrastinate this time around. I'll be streaming all the fights in one go live when everything's prepped. Everything will automatically be exported to my youtube account, where I'll put timestamps in the description for when the fights start so those who miss things can check it out there. Sort of like HFT4, but actually planned. Easy peasy. My entry and the rankings will be posted shortly after the approval of this thread. Date of the stream will be decided once the amount of entries start slowing down.

The arena will be Containment Cube.

Brackets
Standard Double Elimination brackets. Higher ranked builders will get the bye spots if there are any.

Rules
- DSL 2.2
- One entry per person
- No flamethrowers
- I will be AIing, but I have the right to ask you do do it yourself
- BFE is allowed if it's for realism/aesthetic purposes.
- Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted.
- The weight class will be Heavyweight.
- Strictly IRL. No exceptions, no weapon spam either.
- The only glitch allowed is the small chassis glitch.
- Arena hazards will be on.
- Bots must pass stability tests, they will be declined at my discretion if they cannot move and make contact freely.
- Walkers and Shufflers will gain a 400kg weight bonus, but at least 200kg must be used on the movement system.
- Matches are 3 minutes long.
- No custom components.
- First and second game-changing havok, restart; third havok, your bot is eliminated.
- No custom armour.
- No Trov Glitching, Hax Mode, or any other unrealistic glitches that enable an advantage.
- Multibots are allowed (both bots must be eliminated to constitute a knockout).
- No invincible direct-to-chassis armour.
- If a bot mauler dances 30 seconds it is eliminated.
- You can upgrade/change entries as many times as you want before I've AI'd and done splashes for it.
- Entries MUST be sent via PM.
- Component Freedom allowed.

Judging
I will judge on the following criteria, possibly with the help of stream viewers:

Non-weaponless flippers:
Damage /10
Aggression /5
Control /5
Condition /5

Weaponless flippers:
Aggression /10
Control /10
Condition /5

Scores aren't split, meaning it is possible for each bot to get any amount of points.

[cool ass logo.png coming soon]

yeah yeah i know i don't have the best tournament hosting record but just hear me out ok this is gonna be cool

RULES:
- DSL 2.2, Middleweight AND Heavyweight
- One entry per person per weight class.
- The arena we will be fighting in is the Death Facility arena from the Robot Wars RA2 Mod. I'll reskin this at some point between now and the time the SBV thread is posted.
- 2 minute matches
- Double elimination bracket
- This tournament will be held to VERY STRICT IRL Realism standards. None of that borderline crap. Make your robot look like a real robot or it will be rejected.
- Matches that contain Havok will not be shown. If your robot cannot participate in a match without havoking then it will be rejected.
- All glitches are allowed as long as your robot is still IRL-realistic. I will be judging this VERY STRICTLY so do not push it.
- RA2 Component Freedom is allowed and encouraged to make your robots look as good as posible.
- BFE for realism and aesthetic purposes are allowed and encouraged as long as the robot stays realistic.
- Robots must look as close to real-life designs as possible.
- No Flamethrowers, Crawlers or SnS. Thwackbots are fine.
- Multibots are allowed.
- MW Walkers/shufflers can weigh up to 800 kgs, but at least 400 kgs must be used on the walker or shuffler system itself.
- HW Walkers/shufflers can weigh up to 1200 kgs, but at least 400 kgs must be used on the walker or shuffler system itself.
- Swiss Army Bots are limited to three different weapon systems.
- DSC's IRL packs are allowed and encouraged for this tournament.
- Other skinned parts are also allowed and encouraged, as long as they are included in your PM. Make your robot look unique and interesting!
- If your robot looks really bad (like for example a garish box with a weapon slapped on it) then your robot will be rejected.
- I reserve the right to re-skin any robot I think has a bad or low-effort skin.
- I reserve the right to reject blatant re-entries or boring clones of existing robots. Put some effort into making something original, it really isn't that difficult.
- The following Cheatbot2 Components are allowed:
Click

Basically I want you guys to put as much effort as possible into making something that looks fantastic. The art tournament to end all art tournaments. Can you guys do that?

JUDGING
- Fights will be judged on significant attacks and control of match.
- Judging will be done by myself. If anyone has an issue with this then we can discuss it in the thread.

ALL of the robots that participate in this tournament will be included in the first release of Live Designs AI 2.2.


Signups close on December 30th.

I've got the splashes done but since I have two hours the video quality will probably suck. They'll be up soon.

Also, playzooki's eliminated unless he does something soon because his bot keeps crashing my game during importing.
