looks like people will be ai'ing their own robot.
btw sage the arena's i will be using for the challenges are as follows:
-2 on 1: small arena (used in BBEANS 3).
-Beat the box: small arena.
-Tilt: flex top arena.
-Survival: Combat arena. (should have a dark/scary look)
feel free to reskin those, except.. click made the small arena so i dunno if you can reskin it, probably have to ask.

lol how about a grudge match where extenders are the only weapon allowed!? ultimate slapfest to the death!

how about an arena where it starts as a normal death match but in 2 corners of the arena there are cages with 2 other bots and 1 gets let out every minute? i know it's possible if you just look at the new bbeans arena the walls come down at a certain point in the match you just need the walls surrounding the bots in 2 of the corners in a new arena.
would make a nice new match and you could draw the entry numbers in the hat or something xD

last post was huge and about 1 and a half hours ago so posting a new reply (stdp anyway).
here is the video of the mini tourney:
Note: each challenge will be uploaded separately.
this is to prove to doubters i can still host these tourneys and to give people a better idea of what it will be like.

upgrade the drive motors with the weight you have left.. even if you have to remake the chassis. i suggest you use the blue snapper and both connection points, 1 for drive and 1 for the snapper. check out my dual hammer lw bot in my showcase and you'll see what i mean.

"Insectoid" yeah thats the one.
you could also put 1 more piston on each side and angle them in...i think. maybe some side protection also?

pure HS will kill some bots faster then others O.o i like my hybrid right now.
when you build them just pm me a splash. i just tested out my own team of house bots and it turned out fine except my rammer is a bit OP but that makes it more fun to watch as the entries get owned!
i held my own mini-tourney (3 robots testing out the 4 challenges) to test out how i'm gonna work the splashes and when i will show the leader board and so on.
Note: i may not use your robot, but i'm open for change if i think it's good for the tourney. should also note if the feedback is good we might get some new challenges in for next time, i think tourneys are too limited in variety these days so it's time to mix things up!
great thing is even if you don't win overall you have 4 chances to become the champion of the individual challenges which you can brag about in your signature :P
results of my mini-tourney show that it has the potential to be close...all LW's.
Razorwire is an old, pretty average popup
lights out v.3 is a decent face spinner
Tornado 2 is a decent HS
2 on 1:
Razorwire- loss 1:11 left - 1pt
Lights out v.3- win 1:04 left - 2pts
Tornado 2- loss 1:24 left - 0pts
Beat the Box:
Razorwire- no kill, 2146 points - 1pt
Lights out v.3- no kill, 1526 points - 0pts
Tornado 2- kill 0:22 - 2pts
Tilt:
Razorwire- 0:55 left - 0pts
Lights out v.3- 0:54 left - 1pt
Tornado 2- 0:51 left - 2pts
Survival:
Razorwire- 1:41 left - 1pt
Lights out v.3- 1:15 left - 2pts
Tornado 2- 1:47 left - 0pts
Results:
winner: Lights out v.3- 5pts
Runner up: Tornado 2- 4pts

maybe angle the weapons down a bit? can't remember the name of the robot.. but one of the ai packs (i think psyc's) has an awesome hw poker that has its pointing down on an angle.

i may also need help with some of the "house robots".. I'm not really satisfied with the box and i might need 1 more decent BW, so if you have any robot for the house robot team send a splash pic and i will pick the best one for the tourney.
here's the robots you can make:
- a BW for 2 on 1 challenge.
- a "Box" with a fair bit of defense to challenge the offense of all robots equally (spinners, popups, hammers and so on.)
- a powerful MW Rammer with a wedge for the tilt challenge (must have no weapons).
- a HW that will test all the robots defense but will not just one hit ko them (i think my HW in the vid shows exactly what i'm looking for.)

that's what i was trying to get at venko, I'm sure a few people rushed to get their entry in on time.

ok time to recruit some help.
here's what i need:
-someone who can make up the robot splash pics (i'll tell you what i'm looking for).
-someone who can ai the robots well.
i can record, edit and upload. when all that is sorted i will open registration. i always seem to get a tourney going around the same time as BBEANS >.< click inspires me i guess :P

funny i never looked in this topic yet.. my BBEANS entry actually has a servo weapon, i was hoping it would be unique but now i wonder :P

that's correct :P when the drive was closer to the front it would tip over forward so moving it forward again would cause the same problem (tried it) and i tried moving the motors apart more using the different attachment points on the extenders and that didn't help it turn either.. weird. anyways i updated the lw side hammer bot. .JPG) invertible, nifty battery, redbird drive, DSA. only problem now is that the weapons break off too easily. i'm wondering if i can somehow get 2 plows on it to stop spinners.

i sent you glenku's bot already a couple of days ago so i guess that means he is on the waiting list.
