Ah, that makes sense.
In that case...

DSA, 174.7
I will never have patience for stacking so I just axle loaded the ztek then put another CB there before removing the old one and putting the nifty down.

Attempted to do both fixes.
174.5kg, DSA. CB is just sat under the RADs seem as though there was enough space. Don't really like it much, it's probably even worse.

S_M has expressed an interest in completing this tournament, so the thread has been re-opened.

I'm guessing that "Chronic" is just a renamed Kronic

No way! :P
You might be playing catchup it seems, there's a big list of competitors and their details around somewhere. Chronic is a completely new build but a similar design to Kronic.

(Image removed from quote.)

After the long hiatus from putting Robots in Space 2 on a temporary hiatus, I decided that I should go back to Beetle Bashers seeing as it's one year anniversary is coming up. Why am I doing this? Well, I feel I want to host this quick little tournament over the summer and I notice there is barely any standalone Beetleweight tournaments for stock. Let's fix that, shall we?

GENERAL RULES:
- Stock Beetleweight
- 12 or 13 Entrants (See battle rules)
- One entrant per person max
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot (It will not change once the SBV thread is up.)
- You cannot enter unless your bot is received and accepted.
- Entries MUST be sent in a PM. (Tutorial here.)
- I will only enter if there is at least one empty spot when signups close.
- The winners of Beetle Bashers 2 are allowed to send one extra bot each.

BUILDING RULES:
- General stock rules apply
- Beetleweight bots only (Minimum: 169.0 - Maximum: 175.0 kg)
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, txt file editing, etc.
- AI parts are allowed, including the 140 cm extender.
- No cheatbot2 parts at all.
- The only custom components that are allowed are from 090901's and/or Sage's Skin Pack and Madiaba's Smart Zones.
- Smart Zones will not count toward weight, but you cannot use them to act as a ballast
- Bots can have at least One wheel, but all bots must show controlled movement.
- Crawlers are allowed if you can actually get them to work.
- Interchangeable weapons and forms along with Multibots are banned.
- I will only allow bots that are the best of your ability, so Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots, etc. are not allowed. (Please make it more clear this time.)
- You can a MINOR change as many times as you wish as long as it doesn't change very much of the bot overall, so make it clear that it's a minor change. (Like changing the Razors on your HS to Irons)
- Once your bot is accepted, you can only send a MAJOR update it ONCE (Like completely changing your entry from HS to Popup), so be careful. (This rule will not apply to bots that have a problem or are rejected. If the updated bot is not allowed or having an issue, the first bot which has been accepted will stay until a fix is sent.)

MATCH RULES:
- 2 minute length battles
- 1 vs. 1 Battle Format
- Best of 3 Rounds
- Battles will take place in the Clash Cubes 3 Qualifying Arena (Reskinned)
- In the event that there is less than 12 entrants, A BW SFTW will take any empty spots once signups officially close.
- If a bot does a Havok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent, that said bot will get a free restart, if this happens again, that bot will be disqualified.
- I will give an extra 48 Hours when I get 12 bots for one more person who wants to enter. (Including Myself)
- If I happen to get a 13th entrant, then the last two bots that have entered will duke it out in a wildcard bout to see who gets the last spot in the official tournament.
- The Qualifiers will consist of 4 Round Robin matchups with 3 bots in each. The winner of their respected round robin bracket will advance to Eliminators.
- The Eliminators will be a Double Elimination bracket consisting of the winners of the qualifiers.

My (Possible) Entry:

Byebot:

I'm planning on actually hosting this and open signups on June 8th and close them in a week or two, and I'm announcing this for you guys to start preparing for those willing to enter and to say I'll host this depending if my schedule isn't cramped in the summer. Hopefully things work out.


I think I've covered everything to avoid confusion. If you have any questions, comments, interest, or any form of criticism, please let me know. I promise I won't bite.

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. You have 9 months to complete the tournament. Enjoy! :D

I think the big wheels look quite cool on it actually. Nice. :)

1691
Okay, that's cool, just wanted to put the idea forward to try and combat some of the failures of late.

1692
What about the other suggestion which you ignored? :P

1693
With 0 Entry Level tournaments being run, and many Major League tournaments finding themselves dead/abandoned (see: RWS8(pre-yugitom)/RWS9, Hells Arena 2, Clash Cubes Anniversary), I propose we increase the criteria for becoming a Major League from hosting 3 tournaments to 4 or 5.
Alternatively we could add a new 'League' in the middle which allows more competitors and time than Entry Level but less time than the 9 month Major League tournaments.
I'd appreciate people's thoughts. :)


Also, as a sidenote, G.K. is resuming Tournament Moderator duties so feel free to send your tournament moving requests to the both of us and whoever gets there first can deal with your request :)

That'll be something we can look at when freeziez actually runs out of time.
