Update: Motorama is really cool!
In the first round, Angore beat Bagel Beast because their spinner wasn't working. Then, it lost to Rambo, which was a faster and wedgier wedge than Angore. Then, it beat Badnik's Spinjitsu. Finally, it lost to Wedge of Allegiance, which was also faster and wedgier than Angore.
Overall, I'm pretty thrilled I managed to win anything. Would do again!

So, uh... big news on this front.
That's right! I took a video of someone else's robot!
What's actually going on is: I joined my university's Combat Competitive Robotics Club. This was the first year of the club, so there were a whole buncha promblems organizing things - we meant to make 3 3-lb robots but due to some parts orders getting lost in transmission, we only managed two. One of which, of course, is Angore, in the video above. We also have a drum that I've been calling Bongo but I'm not sure if it has an official name.
Point is, I'm going to be driving Angore at Motorama (very badly, most likely)! If you're gonna be there, say howdy! Course, I don't go by Thrackerzod IRL, so if you're looking for me, try asking for Ira.

I promise I'll enter something. If I don't, feel free to call me names.

Do LW all the way up to the semifinals, then do the 1st round of HW, then Do The entire MW bracket, then do 3 fights in SHW, then finish LW, then do two more fights in SHW, then Do HW up to the Final, then finish SHW, then finish HW.
That sounds pretty reasonable. In other news, signups are closed.

Right then, signups are just about over. If I haven't checked your bot yet, don't worry, I'll give you time to fix it should the situation arise (but I'm sure no one would enter an illegal bot, right?)
In the meantime, enjoy a poll.

Updated the OP with a list of people who've sent bots that I haven't looked at yet. On the off chance that someone's bot is not legal, I'll probably give them an extra week to fix it or something since I've gotten lazy about checking them.
There's still a bit of time left today! You can still enter!

Hornbob Fury lived up to its name there. Or, at least the "Fury" part. Surprised to see it self-right, I didn't think it could do that.

Notes and Rules
DSL 2.2. Realistic: IRL. 16 Entries. May extend entry limit depending on demand. This will be a Heavyweight tournament. One robot, per person. Don't make your robot look ugly, and skin it well. BFE allowed. In-game glitches allowed. Must have at least 2 wheel drive, and all wheel drives must have/show controlled movement. Meaning no clusters, crawlers, scuttles, drones, etc. Interchangeable weaponry is not allowed. EternalFlame is not allowed. Titanium Sheet and HalfSheet are banned. One of the following per robot: MechaVore disc (either size), Minion disc (either size), frenZy hammer, Moros blade. Your robot can be upgraded, until the end of the deadline for entries. Unlimited amount of upgrades. Sending a new robot is allowed, but it will replace your previous applied robot. Forfeiting, is not allowed. There will be an end-tournament rumble. I will be doing the AI (and bindings), unless you're willing to AI (and bind) yours. Custom .pys are allowed, but you must send the bindings. You cannot enter, until I have received, and accepted your robot. I will be more stricter when it comes to entries. You must send the link to the robot. You can send them to me through Discord. I will fix your robot wirings, if they are incorrect. Srimechs will be added by me, if the robot looks like it can self-right. Some textures will be edited/re-skinned. Regarding Cheatbot2 parts, see Cheatbot2. IRL Components is legal. CF and Ro7 is legal. I have made two components that will be allowed for the tournament (I have only used one of them). They are coloured wedgelets to match two coloured extenders (Aluminium, and IRL Black Extender), without the need of re-texturing existing components. They can be downloaded here. Make a backup of your 'beater1.txt' file in Components. There is one component that has been brought over from 2.1 that is legal for this tournament. Tutorial on importing the Hammer MotorIn your components folder of 2.1, go into hammermotor then copy-paste "hammermotor.gmf" into the same folder of 2.2. Next, download this, copy-paste or drag that into the components folder of 2.2. You should hopefully now have the Hammer Motor in your 2.2 game, listed under Motors.

The Arenas
The arena for Round 1, 4, and 5 will be the "Combat Arena" arena, with edited textures.
The arena for Round 2 will be the "LumaZone Arena", with edited textures.
The arena for Round 3 will be the "ClawTop Arena", with edited textures.
Match Rules
It will be a Score-based Competition tournament, which will then become a Single Elimination tournament with the final 4 robots. The 16 robots will compete in a number of variety matches, earning points based on their performance. There will be 4 rounds. Round 1Vs Spin & Twirl  Your robot will compete in a handicap match against two lightweights, with a 3 minute time-limit. The aim is to defeat them, or survive them. 3 points for a win. 2 point for a time-limit end after defeating either Spin or Twirl. 1 point for a time-limit end. 0 points for a loss. Round 2King of the Hill with Cream & Squash  Your robot will compete in a handicap match against two middleweight twins, with a 3 minute time-limit in a King of the Hill match. The aim is to get as many points as either of them, or survive them. 3 points for more points than either Cream or Squash. 2 points for Cream and Squash losing during the match. 0 points for a loss (less points than Cream or Squash or losing during the match) Round 3Sumo with Wheel Your robot will compete in a one-on-one match against a ring-spinning super heavyweight, with a 2 minute time-limit (up for discussion) in a Sumo match. The aim is to defeat it, or survive it. The amount of time in which your robot has either defeated or survived against Wheel, will be your points scored. 0 points for a loss. Round 4Vs Roll Your robot will compete in a one-on-one match against the super heavyweight leader, with a 2 minute time-limit. The aim is to defeat it, or survive it. The amount of time in which your robot has either defeated or survived against Roll, will be your points scored. 0 points for a loss. Round 5
The Final
The four robots that have the highest score will compete in the single elimination eliminators to determine the survivor of the Hostile Circus.
When there're robots with the same amount of points during the final 4 tally, they will compete in a mini-rumble to determine who advances.
The four robots after round 4, that have the most points, will advance to the Single Elimination round, to determine the winner of the tournament.
Special Round - All robots (with or without more) fight each other, in a big rumble finale.
No judges' decisions will be made during the tournament, until Round 5. Will be all based on the in-game point decisions.
A judges' decision will be based on points scored, during the rumble.
Lowest points scored, eliminates the competitor.
The Status Messages will be turned on, in case of a controversial countout.
A robot will never be disqualified for havoking. If a havok happens, the match will continue, unless it eliminates a competitor or disrupts the match (flying out of the arena, underneath the map, etc.), then the match will restart.
The rumble will include havok eliminations.

This means your robot is officially accepted.
This means your robot is declined.
This means you're disqualified.
This means you've applied.
If your name is this colour, you won't be given a reserve, and someone who hasn't signed up yet, has the right to take your spot.
This is now a signups thread. The rules quoted above may not change. You've got 4 months, have fun!

Wait, so why would I ever want to enter a MW when I can just enter a HW instead?

That's not really hard to do, you just go in and type a bunch of garbage.

I figured memes happened because the finals, at least the IF one, were such anti-climaxes. Still, I can appreciate the change.
You are absolutely right. Basically everyone and their grandma could see the result of the first match from a mile away, so I figured I'd have some fun with it. Then I was on a roll, so I used a less-memey meme for the Stock match.
I can kida see what people meant about the IF one, but Stock was fine imo.
There was a pretty prominent Ocean Man bit in it.

Now i am.. so i gotta make a splash..
You can't enter now. You've already moved to signups without having a picture of the bot you were entering with.

Well, I sent a bot.
Quick note though.
- Show your entry if you are entering.
There's a rule you've seemed to overlook.
He didn't list himself under contestants so I assumed he wasn't entering.

To someone who doesn't come on the forums and hears the final's music of IF, it's more than likely that they'll think that GTM is a big joke
...is it not? But you've made a good point. As much as I love memes, you guys deserve a proper final. This is the best I can manage: IronforgeStockThe good thing is, all I had to do to get people talking about GTMCS was to ruin the finale with memes.
