I'll send some stuff for this soon.

You only need to send the 6th bot for your team  . As long as it is a legit stock bot (no cheat/custom parts, cheap bot types or BFE etc.) it can be your 6th bot.

I'm gonna scrap my AW, give you a couple other bots and send you some original skins soon if that's cool with you

That's fine but I want every team to have an AW, you will be able to update or replace bots (with other bots of the same weight) after release. This pack is to help members improve by giving them teams of different skill levels and building styles to battle against in all the main weight classes.

Are you making it so that if a bye-bot defeats someone that person goes through anyway? I was going to do the same thing with ARBBC if I didn't get enough teams for it, it's a good way to still have an entertaining match with bye-bots.

I highly doubt they will fill up that fast, it'll probably take some people 2 weeks to get their entries in based on the time it took people to get their ARBBC entries in.

Hmm I always thought bye-bots were meant to be weak, like SFTW weak.

Indeed, re-worded the rule:

*Spinning weapons on a SnS are allowed as long as the spinning weapon motors are positioned outside the chassis.

*Spinning weapons on a SnS are allowed as long as they are positioned outside the chassis.

Example of a robot that breaks this rule? Does this basically mean only the spinning weapons can't pass through the chassis, or the tribar/disc, too?

Spin Cycle 2 would be an example of a bot that breaks the rule.

HS/SnS hybrid (if the bot spins with the weapon):



People should now know the difference between a SnS and a HS/SnS hybrid for my tournaments. Basically if it looks like this kind of HS and acts like a SnS it's a hybrid. The weakness of a SnS should be it's exposed weapon/drive motors.

im really hoping nobody just takes the easy route and make a 9HS/18HS/36HS combo.

ian, if my mw and hw have a wedge, am i allowed to leave my lw wedgeless...? because of weight restrictions and all.

Sure, just fit as much signature stuff on as you can.

What the man? Why do you think I'm upset with losing? You clearly know that it was a cheap tatic because you named it Cheap Norris..

Insect, Cyborg II and Encroaching Darkness were allowed and would be allowed again because they have attempted to protect the drive and extenders when clearly Cheap Norris does not, this is the difference between legal and illegal (for my tournaments unless stated otherwise), cheap and legit.

Yes it was legal in Tusslers but here it isn't, this is to prevent people from using the same tactic this isn't me hating on you for winning against me.

What consequences? Man you need to chill out a bit.

Added poll and a new rule - *No Venko-style Bumble balls (Cheap Norris style bots), it's basically a cheap robot which was against the rules anyway but this clears things up.

Also pretty sure this can be moved to sign-ups. Voting on ARBBC awards will take some time seeing as there are 21 awards so I would like to start the sign-ups for this tournament.

Bahaha I love the power glove, it's so bad...however it was closer than I thought it'd be  . In the first round I was praying it would be bad enough to stay away from the ball of death and WPB but nope it was too bad at doing even that lol.

Thwarted by Venko once again!

Looks awesome, might be a good overcutter seeing as most AW's have low chassis height. This could beat my bot if it can hit the top of my bots chassis  .

Rob's and my own free choice bots have been added to the preview pic in the OP. I chose to go with a fleaweight because there aren't any fleaweights in any other AI pack, plus it's decent and should set a pretty high benchmark for those who want to try and build a fleaweight that can defeat it  .

Does anyone have their "free choice" bot ready to submit yet? I don't plan on releasing the pack until all 21 teams have 6 bots. You can submit anything for that 6th spot as long as it's nothing stupid like a nasty pickle or bumble ball, has controlled movement, has no cheatbot2/custom parts and no BFE ect.
