I know it's hard but you guys really need to contain your excitement about this tournament. Some rules have been changed around since no one has any input.

Two more yes votes until it can be put into sign-ups. I'd appreciate it a lot if more people voted.

Since only a few people voted yes, would it best to do double entries so they'll be a decent amount of bots?

Yeah, I think some bot classes should be banned, as well (mainly because I wanna stand a chance :P).

I'm not going to ban to ban bot classes in an IRL tournament since that's just pointlessly restricting what people can build. I don't mind banning DSL bars above 30x80 and banning 20x160 and 20x200 DSL bars if that would make it more fair?

I thought you'd be interested :P

Since I haven't received many comments, I've added a poll to see if anyone's interested. Pls vote.

But if you do want a logo or something, I'm also willing to help with that as well.

Sure, that'd be great actually. I'd like to see if there's anything I should change or if there's actual interest first though so I'm not wasting your time.

*c thread title*

Wait what?  Is this some weird thread made by a troll or n--

*c thread poster*

No, Boby, what are you doin' man?

*c actual thread*

Oh, okay, everything makes sense.  It's kinda like what I'm doing with Throwback except with a little more simpler idea.

I would enter, but you might want to state your limit on entries.  I think this is your first tournament, so you can't accept more than 16, but I would like some specification first.

Done. I am also very open to different tournament titles. I'm bad at names.

- DSL 3 Heavyweight

- You're allowed to enter up to 2 entries
- These are the bots I will be entering:

This is a bot I affectionately named Phil. Phil is not very good. Don't be like Phil.

This is Lil D. An ever so witty friend named it.

Match Rules:

- RA2T#2 Arena, reskinned courtesy of Redace

- 3 minute matches
- Double elimination

With Sage's assistance, I essentially cloned his bot and made it is worse

I'll see about stacking the nifty into the control board some other time, spent enough time on this already today.

Forgive the ignorance, I've got snapper loading down but I'm not sure on the set up I should be using to get all of the motors onto the snapper.

@Boby- Bro stock is the best don't hate. Your bot isnt bad. Single motor LW HS has been run into the ground though. Generic tips would be to use a nifty (dont need a black), make the chassis micro, and attach everything to the snapper. That way you can get more weapons on.

I was mostly messing, though I think stock is my least favourite game type to build in because of how finicky it is. I'm not really sure what you mean by attach everything to the snapper. I appreciate the tips tho.

First things first- **** stock. Anyone who plays stock is just a straight up masochist. That being said, help me improve my first stock bot.

DSA obviously, sitting a tad anaemic at 243.0

Could've sworn I sent you an updated bot to use so Ichor didn't get stuck on its ass like that...

My bad, looking through the messages 5 months ago you actually did send it.

If it's any consolation, you still kicked the sh** out of me   :P

Yeah it's fine, just letting you know :P

I'd be proud of the win but ****in Jaydee beat your ass as well

Not sure if it's a new rule for season 2 but

Projectile Weapons
Projectile weapons are allowed, as long as they do not create an arena-fouling problem.
Projectile weapons must not use explosives. Springs, catapults and gas-pressure powered
guns may be acceptable. You may be required to show that your projectile weapon will not
damage the Lexan exterior of the arena.

I'm hoping no one actually bothers to try this
