I have ideas to start a tournament. After getting the required programs, I can finally host it. Welcome to Robot Emperor
Rules:
-DSL-IRL HW
-There will be 16 entrants, divided into four groups of four. Each group will have a rumble, with two of the winners being allowed to advance into the main bracket.
-The main bracket will consist of eight robots, seeded based on their past history and performance on the qualifier rumble.
-1 entry per player
-If you cannot AI, I can AI for you. However, it is preferred if you AI your bot yourself
Build rules:
-All bots must incorporate at least one active weapon. For example, a rammer must have a moving weapon, like a stabbing spike, a lifting wedge etc.
-Thwackbots, SnS, and Meltybrain allowed. However, for the former two, they also have to incorporate at least one active weapon, unless if they can move while spinning, where they will be classified as a Meltybrain.
-Servobot is not allowed, unless if you can AI it yourself
-Clusterbots and drones are allowed. However, given the format of the tournament, be warned that during the qualifier rumble, only one of the clusterbot’s component can be entered. You can also enter a The Swarm style bot, but only two of the bots can enter per battle.
-Swiss army bots allowed, with unlimited amount of modularity, including major ones, like changing an entire weapon, or minor ones, like an attachment to help in a fight against a specific bot type. However, you must send me a message about what config do you want to use within 24 hours. If the 24 hours time runs up, then I will just use the original config.
-Walkers and shufflers allowed, with 100% and 50% weight bonus for them, respectively. However, that weight must only go to the propulsion system, and not any other, like armor, weapon, batteries, and motors. Also, if you want to enter one, you must AI it yourself too, or it won’t be allowed to compete
-Geese NPC motors are fine. Madiaba smartzones are fine. DSC’s - IRL packs are also fine. CB2 components are also fine, as long as they are not abused too much, like using stronger version of non CB2 components, using the invisible motor, too much OP components, etc
-RA2CF, BFE, OBJRA2, and other tools or stuffs (like component skinning, though you have to send me the custom skin file too for that) to help with making IRL bots allowed
-Mechavore, Microvore, Minion, and Mini Minion disc is allowed. However, for those discs, and CB2 replica discs, there is a limit of one disc, and no mix and matching between discs.
-Eternalflame.py is banned
-Don’t be a tryhard and send one bot like that
Battle rules:
-Arena is the 2016 Robot Wars Arena
-Battles will be 3 minutes long
-Battles with Havok will be rerecorded. If I already recorded it three times after the original Havok’ed, and all of them end in Havok, then I will use the one with the mildest Havok.
-Robots that get immobilized (either by losing more than 50% of a clusterbot’s total weight, or losing mobility, which will be defined as controlled movement) will be counted out. In the event that the in game counter did not appear due to game limitation (like a bot considered moving, but uncontrolled, and being harassed by opponents), then I will start countdown manually, starting from 5 seconds after I detected no mobility.
-If 3 minutes passed without a KO, then a Judge’s decision will happen. There will be three categories to be scored for, with 35 points per bot:
Damage: 3 x (1-5)
Agression: 2 x (1-5)
Control: 2 x (1-5)
We have a sign-ups topic.
The quoted rules cannot change now. Good luck.
