Off-Topic Discussion / Re: BOTM and Challenge Belt Feedback
« on: September 15, 2019, 11:25:00 PM »
i never paid much attention to the challenge belt before but I do like the idea. I was talking to 8bean a little bit ago and he had the great idea of making it a Parsec-based MP thing or at least a companion belt which uses parsec, which I think is fantastic. Not only would it give people an incentive to build and drive (and push the meta forward), but it would probably be big enough to reach all of the ra2 subgroups to some capacity if it was hosted here which would help the schism. PVP matches are so much better than AI matches, seriously. it's not even close. They're not even really harder to host. i really hope this is considered.
what this dude said

fr tho all the other metas have virtually become wastelands but something like this could help bring them back. Since it is parsec based it would make the playing field a little more even due to most highly optimized designs for competitive bots being highly focused on AI up until this point. This would make a good starting point for any players who haven't tried out one of the standard metas and would provide a different challenge to more experienced veterans.

Am I missing something here?
The tournament is called Micro Machines, why build superheavyweoghts for this
its micro machines because of the build size. there is no weight limit so if built compactly the weight can almost reach SHW

Also isnt an underweight SHW just a heavyweight?
no. if your bot its 800.1kg then it is no longer considered a HW its now considered an extremely underweight SHW

Ok so it has been brought to my attention now that there was no limit set on weapons or bursts. In order to prevent all hell from breaking loose I propose a solution:

If bots are efficiently made then given the size of the smartzone, their weight should end up being somewhere around an underweight SHW.
with this in mind I believe the burst limit should be set at 2 betas and 3 for the other types.
As for typhoon teeth, the limit would be set at 4lg 6sm for verts and 6lg 8sm for horizontals.
Other weapon types i would judge on a case to case basis but just dont be ridiculous.

What do you guys think?

As well as choosing the bot I think you should choose what it should be made in. Otherwise someone who builds a real solid stock bot will almost always get beaten out by someone who makes and renders a CAD

Thanks to the epic gamer power of 09090900909091 there's now a custom smartzone that is already two tall. (download link is above)

And with that i think we're finally ready for signups.

Looks like a wipeout ship lmao. I really love the panelwork you've done on the sides, the only problem I could see with it is since the flipping arm is so long it could have some issues tossing other bots. Other than that though it's super solid. Keep up the great work man

aka no

but if you desperately want to make a wideboi you can build it so that it contracts into the smartzone with a piston or something and then extends when the match begins

You could always just make a custom smartzone to the size you want it to be then, and also remove the additional APS so someone could place it down and then build with it. If you need help doing it me or someone else could help ya out.

Holy sh**. This would help a ton on the builders end and on my end with checking bots.
Also yea i have no idea how to adjust the size of smartzones or change APs so I would definitely need the help of one of you epic gamers out there  :dance:
