Creating this topic to gauge interest for this potential tourrney I'm planning. Basically gonna be an IRL Cruiserweight tournament with extremely strict enforcement of DSL-IRL standards with the goal being to have as close and unpredictable tournament as possible. I've drafted up a possible ruleset here. Would be nice to get some feedback on what needs adjusting, adding or changing.
RULES:Meta: DSL IRL (Strictly enforced, meaning no weaponspam or borderline DSL-S bots that don't even try to look good or realistic.)
Weight Class: Cruiserweight (400-600KG)
DSC's component packs (1, 2 & 3) legal and encouraged
Component Freedom, BFE and OBJ2RA2 all alowed for IRL purposes. Any uses of these tools that I feel go against the spirit of IRL will be banned
Tracked robots get no weight bonus. Walkers are banned.
1 entry per person to begin with. Will be expanded if the tournament does not generate significant interest
Multibots banned
Swiss-Army Bots (Robots with interchangable weapon configs) banned to prevent a repeat of the Robogames fiasco surrounding them.
Matches will be run a maximum of 3 times. If a bot is judged to be causing the match to break (whether through havoks or some other glitch) after these 3 runs, it will automatically forfeit the fight.
Thwackbots (regardless of .py) and flamerbots that use eternalflame (Regardless of .py) are all banned. If you send me a flamerbot that uses eternalflame I will change the AI regardless of how many fuel tanks it has.
Robots may be updated until the splash is posted.
Robots will be judged on Damage, Aggression and Control, With Aggression being of most value, followed by Damage.
I reserve the right to reject robots based on the above rules, or if I feel that it does not fit with the DSL-IRL meta standards that this tournament is using
If a bot is unable to be AIed, the opportunity to replace the bot will be given. If this is not done in a timely fashion, a byebot will be used instead
Bots will be classified as "weaponspamming" (and therefore will be rejected) if they: Use more than 4 large typhoon teeth, use more than 1 replica disc, use more than 2 burst motors for a flipper (With the exception of Beta bursts and Large VDMA R/P bursts, where the limit will be 1), or generally abuse any damaging
component by fitting an unrealistically large number of them.
FORMAT:The arena used will be the RW2016 Studio
The tournament will use a single-elimination format
No upper limit on total entries, if less than 8 bots are entered though the tournament will not be able to be run
In the event of an odd number of participants joining, byebots (which are yet to be decided) will be used
My Entry:
