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...

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.
