(Image removed from quote.) (May change the logo) If you have never seen the first 2, here's the gist: You must enter with two bots, one heavyweight, the other lightweight. They must look very similar/identical to give the father-son impression.
Rules: Both robots must fit the weight limit. All robots are to be made in the botlab of DSL 2.1 (no custom components or editing the bot outside of the botlab but custom smartzones are allowed). *BFE is allowed to make the bot look more realistic. Using BFE otherwise will result in the bot/team being rejected. The IRL rule is being used (so no robots you wouldn't see in real life). Due to the above rule, the inside of the robot remains IRL as well (in other words, no stacking of battery packs, etc.) Full body spinners and multibots are banned. No use of glitches whatsoever. Cheatbot2 is banned (however, one Judge Burst Motor per bot is allowed.) The robots must have at least 2 wheels touching the ground and can show controlled movement. However, if the robot is a walker, this rule does not apply and it gets a 100kg weight increase. *If one of your robots displays uncontrolled movement for more than 15 seconds, the team will be disqualified. Any Havok Explosions that occur will result in the match being restarted. When one team have caused the match to restart due to Havok Explosions more than twice, that team is disqualified. The BBEANS 2 arena will be used (hazards on) and every match will last 3 minutes. No SnS or *beater walls.
Notes: I will AI if you do not wish to or cannot do it yourself. All entries will be checked on a first-come first-served basis. Byebots will be used if necessary and I will take part in the tournament myself if I am running low on entries. *These bye bots will be previous entries to the tournament series. The champions from F&S 2 will automatically be entered unless nicsan2009 wants to replace or remove them. *24 entries and the deadline will be 1st July (could change.)
Seeds: [1] nicsan2009 [2] El Chickenado [3] Elementos [4] RedAce [5] Mouldy King Bash [6] Natster-104 Seeds are based off win-loss ratios from the first and second tournament combined. I have only seeded those who have accumulated at least one win. All other competitors will have their seed randomised. If someone on the seed list does not compete, then all others that have competed will move up a seed. (How unfortunate that it is unlikely that the top two seeds won't be entering )
The reigning champions are I Didn't Do It and Maybe I Did (as seen to the right of the logo) built by nicsan2009.
Alright, all new rules have been labelled with an asterisk and highlighted blue. If there are any rules that you think should be abolished or added, then please say so.
This is now a signups topic and the rules posted above may not change. You have 9 months :)

Indeed.
PLEASE don't post anything to do with matchups, be it pictures, videos or even just telling us who is against who, at least on GTM. It may be publicly released information but the people posting this stuff were not permitted to reveal anything, let alone record it.

I'm pretty sure that's just a floor marking. There's a foldable chair on top of it making it look like framework :P

Where are you seeing them? Can't find them myself.
EDIT: Never mind, they're not on the BattleBots twitter but you can find it if you search BattleBots and filter by images. All I can say is I did not expect that.

Abuse the hell out of Flippermakers. 3kg for 1000HP and almost as useful AP's as a regular extender. I also think you could probably get the chassis tighter with a more regular shape. I tend to use an ever-so-slightly rhombus-ed rectangle. I'd encourage you personally to try and find enough weight to upgrade the drive motors at least a bit :)

I'm pretty sure the thing on the Make Robotics crate IS Radioactive, just to update.

Definitely not Red Fever, that's an R not an F so could be something to do with the word reverse or reversal?

Looks good, I especially like the slight dome effect that disc gives the top.

I like the eyes, they add a sort of biomechanic feel to the usually organic personalities I give robots. Plus it'd be hard to give it more animated eyes with components unless I used the old 'Dizzy' Vlad wheels. I don't think it looks messy and I actually really like the Lightning spikes under the flipper because they're almost tusk-like. So yeah, for once, I'm basically ignoring what you're all saying :P
Good luck trying it out. Took me forever to line all the stuff up and get the chassis the right size. Mainly the height/location of the tread motors and the bottom plate.

Tournament Rules:
1. Two bots start off in the King of the Hill match (1:00 minute match) in the Hilltop Arena . The goal here is to get more points than your opponent.
2. So the 2nd trial is gonna be a survival trial. On the Combat Arena, 1 entry will fight against 2 trialbots and attempt to survive as long as possible against them. The amount of time you survived will be summed up to the KoTH points and the winner will advance (if you survive 1 minute and 15 seconds, then 115 points will be added to your original score). If you destroyed both Trialbots, then 200 will be your score for this trial.
Trialbots:
1.
2.
3. Then the heat will end up with 2 bots, those 2 will fight it out in the RING ARENA and here's how it works; two bots start on the arena and they will fight it out for 3 minutes and the bot that gets destroyed, immobilized, or thrown OOTA will be eliminated and the winner will go to the finals.
4. All four finalists will face off in the KoTH and the bot with the lowest points will be eliminated. If a 2-way tie for last happens then both bots are eliminated and we head to the fight to the finish, if a 3-way tie for last or 4-way tie happens then the trial will start over. If three bots remain, they will face again in the KoTH, but the trialbot will join the others as a distraction. If there's a 2-way tie or 3-way tie for last, the trial will restart. The final two will head off to the Ring Arena...well I think we already get how that works.
I'm bringing back the losers bracket. This time, the bot that loses the KoTH on the semi-finals goes to the losers bracket semi-final and the bot that loses on the second trial in the semi finals goes to the second trial in the losers bracket semi-final.
More Rules:
1. Ironforge Heavyweight (both IRL and Standard) 2. Realistic Rules Apply 3. No cheatbot2 or custom components. 4. No SnSs (won't do good in the KoTH part anyways). 5. No crawlers. 6. Please AI your own bots, if you can't then I will AI the bots. 7.NO WHINING ABOUT THE BOT AI BEING SCREWY UNLESS THERE IS BELIEVABLE EVIDENCE AND NOT SOMETHING STUPID. 8. Multibots are NOT allowed (due to the fact that if there's a tie). 9. No havok prone bots. 10. No AAM or BFE.
My Possible Entry

You guys think too much of Playzooki. There are others way more likely to be in touch with HA.

With edited drive motors it's a lot of fun to drive. Without the middle bar, by the way, it looks weird and unsupported. Because the 2 bars on top have different AP orientation (because of the burst) it's very hard to brace it.  Oh and just for fun, as per usual (not claiming this is good or useful), CRAZY SAW VERSION

re:Kurt; Nobody gives a sh** if you want to discuss the banning of Andy, there's another thread that isn't as Nary put it a 'lower-than-sh**-tier thread' that Helloface posted that quite clearly HASN'T been locked or deleted.
watch out for your freedoms kids, because a thread might be deleted. srsly

I intend on posting this whenever you go into '**** THE SYSTEM' mode to remind you how you look.
