Pot Luck-DSL HW
-Realistic Rule
-No BFE/AAM
-No Cheatbot2 Parts. Anything found in a clean copy of DSL without using cheatbot2 is fine.
-All in game glitches allowed as long as they abide to the realistic rule.
-I can AI if you really need me to, but i'd suggest doing it yourself if you can.
I reserve the right to ask you to AI your own bot if I cannot AI it effectively.-Bots get one free Havok restart per match, if they Havok again the robot is disqualified.
-3 minute long matches. If robots are still alive at the end of the match I will decide on the total points for the team.
-Narmour be gone
tm enabled
-16 bots. Standard
double elimination bracket. Just getting that out there.
The fun part for this tourney is that before you build your robot. Everyone chucks a robot type into a virtual hat. (HS/VS/Popup etc). When I have all spaces filled, one robot type will be given out to each person and they will have to build that type of robot. I will also throw a curveball into the mix by assigning an extra type to one person. Multibot. Just to mix things up.
You will also chuck an arena into another, arena themed pot. I will then draw one arena from this pot and this would decide
the arena for the tourney. Whatever happens this is going to be interesting.
For example, say it were a small, 4 bot bracket, it would work like this:
Jeff enters and selects HS. His arena choice is the Combat arena.
Bob enters and selects Vs. His arena choice is the Bbeans arena.
Tim enters and selects Rammer. His arena choice is the Aon 2 arena.
Charles enters and selects Popup. His arena choice is the Bbeans arena.
A jiffy later and it would look like this:
Jeff has to build a Rammer *Multibot*
Bob has to build a Popup
Tim has to build a Hs
Charles has to build a VS
The arena choice is the Bbeans arena.
Rules on robot types you choose:-You can choose the robot type, but you can't go any more specific than that. You also cannot select hybrids. I've probably worded that badly so here's some examples to make it clearer.
Sheck Spinner - Yes
Flail Sheck Spinner - No
Rammer - Yes
Concussion Rammer - No
Flipper - Yes
Inertia flipper - No
Flying Guillotine - Yes
Horizontal Spinner/Hammer hybrid - No
-You can choose the same robot type as someone else. So 2 people could choose Rammer or something. However, a robot type cannot be chosen more than 4 times overall.
When choosing the arena you want to chuck into the pot. There are a few rules for this aswell. Sorry.-No seizure arena, tabletop arenas or king of the hill arenas.
-If I cannot find the arena you chose easily. Then it shall be up to you to find a download link for me.
-If the arena lags up the game/is impossible to film a match well in, then I shall have to politely ask you to choose another arena.
-You
can choose the same arena as another person. You and someone else both want the same arena chucked into the pot? By all means. Increase the chance of that arena getting chosen.
-You can choose whether to turn the hazards on or off. I'm probably going to regret saying that.
But, before you enter. Think to yourself. "Do I have the time to build any robot type the GTM community could throw at me? If I get hampered with a bad robot type, am I willing to enter it anyway? Would I not moan to high heaven if I got a bad robot type? If something happens which means I can’t send a robot in, will I tell the host?” Please go through this mental checklist before entering.
Entrants:(As soon as the spaces are filled, I will shuffle the bot types around and distribute them, you will then have a 3 weeks to build the robot and get it to me. In that time period you can update as many times as you want. Warning: If you don't submit your bot before the deadline, your bot/space is up for grabs by the backup brigade.)- 1) Badnik96-Drum-Small Arena
- 2) Yoda9726-Sawbot-Octagon (Hazards On)
- 3) Trumpetguy-SNS-BBEANS V2 arena
- 4) MikeNCR-Flipper-Ocean Platform
- 5) Urjak-Sheck Spinner-Combat Arena
- 6) Scrap Daddy-Hammer-Pyramid
- 7) Hydro-Rammer-Combat Arena

The Backup brigade:(Yes, Badnik's favourite backup brigade is back! If you miss out on the main bracket. Then you can join the Backup Brigade. If you are needed, you will take that person's robot type and you will get an extra week on top of the normal deadline to build the robot. You will not get to choose an arena/bot type. But you will get eternal satisfaction in the knowledge that you prevented a bye. The Backup Brigade is limited to 4 people)- 1)
Freeziez - 2)
GarvinTheGreat - 3)
MartyMidget - 4)
MassimoV
UPDATE:
The shuffling is complete.

Arena Chosen:
Small Arena-Hazards Off-As chosen by Badnik and JoebloDp: Due to problems with the small arena, I have decided to re-roll the arena choice. Namely because the low start points. How on earth is Scrap Daddy going to make a flying guillotine that low? I've also heard a few other people having problems because of it.
The new arena is Keznorg IGC. (Hazards Off) I apologize I didn't spot this earlier. You still have until the 14th to submit your bots.
You now have until the 14th of July to make your robots.That is exactly what I am going to do, Urjak.
Good news: People who haven't got their bot in? You have until the 21st.
Bad news: People who haven't got their bot in? The backup brigade have until the 21st to possibly nab your spot.
As G.K and Ty4er took the time to try and make a robot and send it in, I have asked the backup brigade to not nab their spots.
...This is going to be fun.
