Lifters as in the bot type. Not the motor. If cheatbot2 is banned, it's banned.

Mutations, 16 entries, DSL MW Standard Hybrid only tournament.
I will enter with
(Image removed from quote.)
Starting just with MW, next Mutations if I do one will be HW or SHW.
Tournament Basics
-DSL MW Hybrid. Limit of 399.0 kg, your bot will be illegal if the game shows 399.0 as HW.
-16 entries, to be increased or decreased if necessary.
-Arena will be Containment Cube with powered-up hazards. Finals arena is in Epic Showdown. Feel free to find me more interesting arenas.
-Standard 1vs1 brackets, except for the finale who will be a 3-way free-for-all and 3 1vs1 matches like in Mighty Naryar's Glorious Melee.
-No loser's bracket. You lose, you're out.
-No qualifiers or byebots. I will very likely enter my own tournament, and I am entering to both win and build something cool. I shall showcase ùy bot if I do enter.
Building Rules
-DSL 2.1 Standard MW.
-DSL 2.1 components only + smartzones.. Custom components are banned.
-MW Hybrid bots ONLY. All hybrids must be functional. If you do not abide by the spirit of "hybrids only" and enter what is functionally a single-weapon bot (ex: a MW HS with 1 static razor and you claim "hurr hybrid durr!!!11one!"), or if one or several of your weapon systems are nonfunctional, your bot will not be accepted.
Also, all weapon systems must each weight 20kg minimum. This counting extender work and weapons.
Note : An hybrid is a bot that has several weapon systems. List of valid weapon systems (pick 2, 3 or more if you are on crack) :
Rammer, poker, wammer, face spinner, SnS (any type), HS (any type), vertical hammer (any type), side hammer (any type), juggler, angled spinner, VS (any type), top spinner, flipper (any type, including weaponed flipper), popup (any type), flying guillotine, drum (any type), sawbot (any type), clamp, chicken drill.
Any other weapon systems are OK (although see the list of banned bot types later), although subjected to fairness check before accepting.
"Wedge", "weaponless pusher" and "flamethrower" do NOT count as a weapon system for the requirements, although you can add these to your bot freely.
-Bot types banned : Trinity bots, crawlers, bumble balls, HS/SnS hybrids, flipper/popup hybrids, anything that relies on an unrealistic glitch to work, TRFBD's.
-Minimum bot building quality controls will be performed and I will not accept poorly built bots. You may enter no matter who you are, but i don't want any obvious SFTW's. If your bot is not accepted, I will however provide advice on how to make it better.
-Triple hybrids will be given a +20kg weight cushion.
-Bots equipped with flamethrowers will be given a +30kg weight cushion. It stacks with the triple hybrid bonus.
-Any out-of-lab bot building techniques (bfe, aam, etc) are banned. Skinning your bot may be done by whatever method.
-Trov glitch, Trinity glitch, Nasty pickle glitch, hax mode, ZeroG glitch are banned.
-Allowed armors : only the DSL 2.1 ones. No custom armors allowed.
-No multibots.
-Flails bearing weapons are limited to 3 flails maximum.
-If your bot doesn't have any weapon components it will be illegal.
Tournament Running Rules
-You may AI your own bot. If you do not however, you may not complain about the ai choices I do, unless I make an obvious error.
-You MUST provide correct bindings and smartzones so your bot is ready to ai.
-If your bot requires custom-made ai to work, then it is your job to provide it.
-Cheating ai's will be slain on sight. Aesthetic-only custom ai's (who play sounds, show graphic effects, etc) which do NOT affect the match in any other way are allowed.
-Havok explosions that definitely tip the fight in favor of a bot will earn a restart. It another meaningful havok happens in the match, then the bot responsible for it will lose the round. You only have 1 havok restart per match as well.
- Spikeball mode will be tolerated if under 20 seconds, if a bot goes over that it will lose the round.
- Bots that lose all their drive will lose the match immediately.
- Conraa, Urjak and Naryar (wait a second...) get free entries due to being in the finals of my previous tournament.
- There will be rewards to be voted for, and rewards provided by me.
- Anyone who goes into final will earn a free entry into the next Mutations. And glory, and fame, and ego satisfaction, etc.

Still might change these rules though so yeah.

SIGNUPS OPEN FOR Building RulesBots are to be built in Ironforge v0.3. Bots are to be in the Ironforge Heavyweight category, with a maximum weight of 400.0kg, although 4 ballasts can be added on top of this for no weight cost. Why 400kgs? I didn't see this mentioned before.
1. What actually happened
All components' weight have been cut in half. So the bot you build is exactly the same, just the number on screen is halved.
2. Why?
Because the havok engine functions a lot better at lower weight. Don't believe me? Download v0.3 and watch some AI battles to see the difference.
Bots are to be built to DSL-Style Standard Realism Rules (Not IRL - please ask if you don't understand Standard Realism) Bots may not use any out of game editing such as BFE or AAM, including for long bot names. Cheatbot2/custom components are banned. Bots must show controlled movement and have at least 2 wheels/treads or a functioning walking equivalent. Clusterbots/Multibots are allowed to a maximum of 2. Tournament GuidelinesEntries are ONLY to be sent when the tournament is in the Signups phase. All entries out of these guidelines will be permanently disqualified. There are an unlimited amount of slots. Each person may enter 1 robots, except ty4er who may enter 2 if he chooses for winning RIP3 Signups will be open for 1 week only. Bots will be AIed by me if no bindings are supplied, only to a level where the robot works. AI yourself if you can. Entries cannot be updated. Once accepted, your entry is final. If your entry is declined, you have a single chance to correct any discrepancies. Battle RulesBattles will be 2 minutes long Battles will take place in the Containment Cube Any robot that causes a match-changing havok gets 1 restart. Any more and the bot will be disqualified. Any robot that shows uncontrolled movement for 30 in-game seconds or more will be disqualified. All matches will be 1v1 I will enter and my entry is this:  (Name and skin to be finalized) Entries1.

I imagine they fixed it themselves, yeah.
Remember, you're under no obligation to AI it amazingly, as long as it works as expected.

Nothing, I'd just prefer to run something else. If somebody wants to take this tournament forward, go ahead.

Thinking about abandoning this idea for a big all-out DSL-S tournament.
So many IRL tournaments, so many re-entries, so many wasted spots.

No. I read the rules. :P

you can run a tourney over a few months fairly easily.
You can run a 16 bot tournament in 5 videos lol, it's not hard work.

This is my idea for a 'Father and Son' tournament.
Concept:
This tournament will be a tag team tournament with 8 teams of 2. The reason it is 'Father and Son' is because the teams have to be a Heavyweight robot (601-800kg) and a similar version of that robot in lightweight form (up to 249). This means that entrants will get two robots to participate with each but they need to be similar and one of them has to be heavyweight and the other has to be lightweight.
Rules:
Both robots must fit the weight limit.
All robots are to be made in the botlab of DSL 2.1 (no custom components or editing the bot outside of the botlab but custom smartzones are allowed).
The IRL rule is being used (so no robots you wouldn't see in real life).
Due to the above rule, the inside of the robot remains IRL as well (in other words, no stacking of battery packs, etc.)
Full body spinners and multibots are banned.
No use of glitches whatsoever.
Cheatbot2 is banned (however, one Judge Burst Motor per bot is allowed.)
The robots must have at least 2 wheels touching the ground and can show controlled movement. However, if the robot is a walker, this rule does not apply and it gets a 100kg weight increase.
Any Havok Explosions that occur will result in the match being restarted. When one team have caused the match to restart due to Havok Explosions more than twice, that team is disqualified.
The BBEANS 2 arena will be used and every match will last 3 minutes.
Notes:
I will be doing all the AI (I may be new to the forum but I'm quite good at AIing. I have posted some evidence on my profile already that I can AI. You can AI your own bots if you wish).
Robots must be checked by me before they can be accepted. Any robots that don't meet the requirements stated will be rejected, but you can still attempt to enter with another.
Byebots will be used if necessary and I will take part in the tournament myself if I am running low on entries.
All entries will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
A final note, just because I am new the forum, doesn't mean I can't AI and organize a tournament. I will be fully dedicated to this tournament if it goes the right way.
These are the rules and these now cannot change, this is a signups topic. You have 3 months. Enjoy :)

it just kind of bugs me that I am being thrown out of consideration just for the fact that I am not willing to devote my life to a now 10 year old game when I have more important obligations to tend to.
But that's the thing, the Vet status is generally for people who have been around a long time, are respected members and HAVE contributed a lot to RA2. I hardly devote my life to this game, you know that :P

In the teams.txt you need to change Robots: 0 1 2 to Robots: 0 1 2 3 4 5 or whatever

I don't think anyone would allow it, I had to BFE to get that weapon on.
As long as it doesn't break any IRL conventions, why not? I BFEd a load of stuff on Imagineer.

The axe head was buried in the Nevada Desert after every BattleBots competition so John didn't have to take it through customs, then he'd come dig it up again next year.
