Just downloaded and looked at all the arenas I could find, and personally I am leaning towards the Cube, unless suggestions are made.

Eh, my issue there is the capacity to spam flippers. It would be nice, in a way, to have a non-OOTA arena for once, might get a little more destruction :D

How so? And would it still be noticeable with MW/LW and probably a lack of SNS?

I like that idea very much. Completely forgot about that arena.

Front post updated with a set of rules, only missing the arena.

LW/MW it is. Arena suggestions? I'm looking at the AON2 arena personally, but pits will make people rage.

I feel if we had something as small as the top 10, it wouldn't be fully recognizing the entire history, and we could probably all name the 10 that would go in it right now. This gives more possibility for discussion. But the '100 Bots That Shaped RA2' seems pretty cool.
And I vote uncategorizing it :P

Well I don't know which way to go. People will be sad either way.

Okay, I have chosen to go with the following format:
DSL differing weight multibots, with Popups/Flails banned.
I have but 2 more questions.
1) What weight class combination would people like? (HW/LW, MW/LW, or HW/MW)
2) What arena? (Personally, I'm leaning towards something like the AON2 arena)

Only been to England and Wales, but I still like ALL the places

Or a combination of the 2? I could roll with that, very much so in fact.

That was the plan, I just didn't want to seem completely biased by banning them. If people prefer I can just can flail weapons and popups.

IT'S NOT IRL.
I CONFIRM FOR THE 5TH TIME.
IT IS NOT IRL.
Simply outlawing bot types you don't find in real life - so basically, no Flails, Jugglers, Popups, Flying Guillotines or TRFBD.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
I WOULD NOT RUN AN IRL TOURNEY 'COS I LIKE ACTUAL DESTRUCTION :P

Can people who voted simply HW give a reason for not voting all non-irl banned? Just out of curiosity, because I really like the idea.

NFX gets it right - you now have 3 explanations  basically, no popups, jugglers, flails, fg, trfbd, etc.

Hm. You never know, I might enter.

« on: June 01, 2012, 03:26:44 AM »
Me too. Non-IRL types win far too much, and really aren't very exciting (in the case of Popups/SNS)

POLL ADDED. If you can't see it, just type your vote in here.
HW, all non-IRL bot types banned
HW
MW, all non-IRL bot types banned
MW
Differing weight class clusters
NOTE: By all non-IRL bot types banned, that means no flails, popups, jugglers, FG and stuff that wouldn't work IRL/you don't see IRL, however you can build to maximum DSL efficiency (no IRL building standards)

Oh yeeeeah, I completely forgot to mention that.
I was thinking of possibly restricting bot types to ONLY those found IRL - so no Jugglers, Popups, Flail SNS/SS etc, however they could all be, of course, built to maximum DSL efficiency.
