Well, I see what you mean there - it could still give the same look while being a little smaller, but people shouting about chassis size for the sake of chassis size rather than looks in a class about looks is silly in my opinion.

Who cares if the chassis is big? It's an IRL bot.

MY ENTRY AND SPLASH LAYOUT

There will just be one big splash with everything on it.
This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. You have a year :)

Yes, 1 type of out-of-botlab editing is BFE. I fail to see your point as I allowed BFE for realistic purposes.

TBD's update is accepted.
6 spots left - if we can fill these today I can get the tournament done before I go away :)

Kurt Wylde, 090901, MassimoV and 123savethewhales accepted.
TBD Devastator not accepted as it's not IRL.
If the tournament fills before he sends a valid replacement, the place is up for grabs.

Make some horrifically unbalanced jokebots and use them to fill up spaces? :P

FULL RULES:
1) Ironforge v0.4
2) Heavyweight (400kg maximum, but 4 ballasts can be added at no weight cost.)
3) IRL rules - bots can ONLY be as effective as their hypothetical real life counterparts. If a weapon type is not feasible IRL, it's not allowed.
4) BFE is allowed for realistic purposes, however all other glitches (including Narmour) and out-of-botlab editing methods are banned.
5) No custom components.
6) No cheatbot2 components.
7) Fights will be 3 minutes long and take place in the Robot Wars Arena.
8) No joke bots, no multibots.
9) 1 Havok restart, then disqualification.
10) Your bots will be judged heavily on the IRL specification.
11) You get 1 chance to re-enter if your bot is not approved.
12) No updates once approved.
13) There will be 12 entries in total, and there will be a Loser's Bracket for losers of Round 1 only. The main bracket will work with 4 3-way melees followed by 1v1's. The Loser's Bracket will be 1v1 all the way.
I will be entering with Woff Dog

Hi guys. I'm opening signups for this - if we can get this filled within a day or so, I'll be able to finish it up before I go away for around a week on Thursday. The rules above cannot change, this tournament has a year. Etc. :P

The concept Tom was going for with No Holds Barred was a pretty new, interesting metagame too Nary.

It seems popular now but will people actually build them? Try keep things reliable.

That's gonna look pretty awesome, I would imagine. Your bots are always pretty inspiring, Mike.

There are no mods. It's a pretty unmoddable game really.

Arena change could be allowed if approval is met by all entrants, I suppose.
As for my AW, I can't actually make it havok no matter what I try. But I'll work on some stuff.

I don't think there's a guide but that stuff is fairly simple... If you're doing some programming course like you said you are you should be able to work it out :P
Hint: For Flippermakers you need to copy some gmf's, edit those new gmf's to have a different bitmap (with same amount of characters as the old one) in the Maps folder using Notepad++ (important) and add some Styles to the flippermaker.txt and Styles folder.
