Looks like Overflow finally met its match.  Pleased with its performance, though!

make one of the bosses a wedgeless bot like an vs or shell. 3 wedged bosses is kinda lame

The bosses are all wedged because I literally do not have any wedgeless HW IF bots that aren't absurdly awful.

So, I've been thinking about this because it's a pretty valid point.  The thing is, I wanted to run this tournament such that the bosses were all robots of mine that you've had the chance to see before.  That means I don't want to build new bosses just for this.  Here are some options I came up with:

Option 1: Run the tournament as-is.
Option ii: Replace one of the bosses with 2 Pantstorms (that is, as a multibot).
Option C: Add 2 Pantstorms as an additional boss and adjust the knockout rules accordingly.
Option IV: Move the tournament to Stock.  I do have three bots I could use that don't have wedges, but then you'd have to build in Stock.

just letting you know that you labelled all the IF fights this round 'stock division'

Thanks for the heads up!  Fixing now.

Lol, Scorpio's going to make the top six in the stock bracket with a robot that looks like it's from 2008-ish. Perhaps it's got a modern interior, I don't really know.

You haven't got much faith in Direct Injection, have you?

On another note, how was the seeding determined for the brackets?

It was randomized.

Anyway, coming at you now: Ironforge Losers' Round 2.

Kill vs DSC
Tashic vs Geice
Guldenflame vs S_M
RedAce vs UberPyro
Mechadino vs R01
Badger vs MassimoV
playzooki vs botomatic1000
Mystic2000 vs Thrackerzod

Badger nearly got trolled by the wigglesticks again, but then he managed a literal last-second victory.  That was kinda cool.

GG Mystic, Potedon couldn't do anything to your bot once your weapon fell off, but unfortunately that meant that your weapon had fallen off.

maybe BFE it?

BFE'ing in a tournament?

Anyway, Stock Losers' Round 3:

DSC vs Geice
Reier vs Redline
Kill vs Badger
rnifnuf vs 090901
S_M vs botomatic1000
R01 vs Badnik
Mr. AS vs JoeBlo
Sage vs Craaig

Coming up next: we're going to pop over to Ironforge for a bit.

(this might be a mistake since i'm running gtmcs also but #yolo)

BORING RULES:
-Ironforge, standard building style, MW
-No cheatbot parts, custom parts, etc.
-Multibots are allowed (because MW multibots are totally a thing)
-SnS are not allowed
-Crawlers are not allowed
-BOTS MUST SHOW CONTROLLED MOVEMENT
-No BFE, AAM, EXP, or whatever other crazy acronym you guys use
-Rule of 7 break is allowed, other SergePatcher features are not
-Arena will be the Combat Arena with hazards off, 3 minute matches
-Maximum of 16 entrants, one robot per person
-If you don't AI your robot yourself, it gets Omni.py
-Havok rule: Matches with havoks will be rerecorded and not shown
-I reserve the right to disqualify any bot if it tickles my fancy

THE GIMMICK:
I have prepared 3 HW boss robots for you to fight against.  Your goal is to beat the boss as quickly as possible, or at least survive as long as possible.  Scoring works as follows:
-Beating the boss quickly is better than beating the boss slowly.
-Beating the boss slowly is better than losing to the boss slowly.
-Losing to the boss slowly is better than losing to the boss quickly.
The first round will reduce the number of robots remaining to 8.  From there, each boss fight will reduce the number of robots remaining by half.  The final two bots will have a fight to determine the winner.

Right, how about we meet the bosses?







I silhouetted them to make it a bit mysterious, but they're probably not too hard to identify.

Anyway, I won't be entering, since I of course have the ability to test my robot against the bosses, and that's a bit cheaty.

Did I miss anything, or is anything unclear?

Retooled when?

never

Mr. AS' bot's hammer is buggered up in that it doesn't go all the way down when it attacks.  Here's a quick video I recorded to show what was going wrong:   I sent it off to him to see if he could fix it.  If he fixes it or decides he doesn't care, Retooled is back on the menu.  Otherwise, I'll just do Stock and Ironforge.  If I finish both of those with no progress on the hammer, I'll probably just run it with the borked hammer, but with how many matches are in Stock + IF, I don't expect that to happen.  Sorry if you were excited about Retooled.

Since I saw you asking in the Discord, yes I'm still interested in this, and I'm sure others will be too if the matches start getting uploaded with some regularity again.

Thank you for saying so!  I was hoping I could get some attention back on this by actually uploading matches.  Seemed like a good way to do things.

Here's all of the Ironforge Losers' Round 1 matches:

Craaig vs DSC:


S_M vs battledutchman:


R01 vs Kurt:


botomatic1000 vs Mouldy:


Up next: Stock Losers' Round 1!

It's an interesting gimmick, but I think something like this really needs to not be IRL.  With the whole tournament being geared towards taking out the other team, people are just gonna build tryhardbots (that's what I would do, anyway).

Got robbits from everyone who said they sent one.

Badger's crashes my game when I try to import it but it's probably something I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: Problem has been resolved.
