pretty hype to have this on discovery channel imo, should be a lot more focused on the actual robot fighting

just want to say you did an amazing job with the arena, this is the exact kind of thing i had been looking for when i wanted to start my tournament (enclosed arena with comprehensive OOTA hazards). keep up the good work, i'll be watching for sure

RA2T2 or whatever the flying hell will be fair to flippers, but then, this is gonna be popup fest soo... if they manage oota's then yay
Flippers aren't a thing in stock. Unless you're 090901.
Anyway the arena was put up for a vote and the combat arena won, IMO it would be unfair to change the arena now because you didn't get the right result from the poll.
Yeah, i'm gonna stick with the combat arena. If it was a DSL tournament I wouldn't have it in an enclosed arena. Anyway, I think the rest of this is OK. Can someone move this to signups?

Weight class will be Heavyweight. Is there anything that's in the rules that I should consider changing or modifying?

Changed the poll to weight class selection.

Looks like the Combat Arena is pulling ahead. I won't mind using it, I just like seeing different bots lol

Hopefully more people vote against the combat arena, since that arena lends itself so heavily to HS which are already a very dominant and bland bottype in the stock meta.
I agree. I wish there was a DSL-Tournament-style arena already in stock, all the default arenas minus the combat are too compact or gimmicky. Open arenas lend themselves to more bot types.

Do people usually allow Ro7 break in stock?
No, since working around the RO7 is part of stock building, unlike DSL-S or IRL.
h*ck i kept that in from my dsl idea, one sec (edit): Fixed.

I want to overcome the problems I had while I used to be active here. I shot myself in the foot, aside from Battlebots, by making tournaments that were too gimmicky and were based around things I liked instead of things people wanted to take part in. Since the tournaments section has an abundance of DSL IRL tournaments, I want to go back to basics, both for me and for RA2. BACK TO BASICS- Stock 1.4 HW.
- Combat Arena (hazards off).
- I will AI. If you provide an AI, however, yours will be used (no meltybrain).
- I will not enter a robot, as per usual.
- I cannot promise any prizes, but I would like to give one out.
- Building Rules:
- No BFE/AAM/Hax Mode, etc.
- No cheatbot2.
- All AI parts are allowed, as well as the 140cm extender and blue snapper.
- SnS bots are allowed.
- No multibots.
- Bot must have at least 2 wheels used to move itself in a controlled manner.
- Any use of RA2CF is not allowed.
- Max of 3 robots per person.
- Robots may be updated until signups close.
- Tournament Specifics:
- 1v1 battles.
- 3 minute time limit.
- Two havok restarts will cause the robot to lose its current match.
- 32 participants.
- Swiss system.
- Robots are initially in one pool, either completely unseeded or seeded in a single list. (0-0)
- After the first round of matches, half the robots will have one win (1-0) and half the robots will have one loss (0-1).
- For the second round, only teams with the same record can play each other (1-0 vs. 1-0, 0-1 vs. 0-1).
- The third round works the same way, but with three different pools (2-0 vs. 2-0, 1-1 vs. 1-1, 0-2 vs. 0-2).
- The process continues until there are only a specified number of robots left (typically half).
- No two robots may play each other twice.
Signups will be open until the 15th of May, 12:00 a.m. EST. or until the participant limit is reached. Participants- Plerco - kill me

Firstly, I'm super glad that we have a staff member voicing concerns about the state of the community and suggesting improvements, while asking for feedback. This kind of transparency is important and as a community member it's very encouraging to see.
Honestly I think that the death of the challenge board is partly responsible for the death of all the 'competitive' (read: Non-IRL) metas. The switch from the (admittedly seriously flawed) title and informal challenge system to the more restrictive challenge belt system was a pretty huge failure, I think that that's pretty clear to see right now.
What do I want to get from GTM? Honestly I personally don't feel any reason to open RA2 right now. Showcases get very little feedback, and the feedback you do get is usually sub-10 word compliments with no real feedback or substance (I'm not sure what the staff can do about this; I certainly don't have any solutions in this regard). Tournaments are all pretty samey and full of re-entries, and there aren't many new tournaments. And as an average host, there's not much to motivate me to put in the effort outside of being able to view the battles themselves. And the challenge section seems deader than dead to me.
I also think we should reconsider the position of BOTM in the community. It's basically a joke at this point and has been for a while.
combining these two thoughts, maybe instead of a BOTM open build we could show good bots from other peoples' showcases? would also give more incentive to update your own showcase
