i mean you'll have to build the chassis, I really think it would be worth it though
light plow will probably be fine for LW.

what weight plow is it? would definitely try to get a couple ballasts in there to keep it from going too fast and getting knocked around.

The first one turned out better than I hoped. Saw some great driving, great designs, awesome fights that made AI matches look like a joke, and we want more. So here we go  FORMAT: 8 entries.1v1, Bo3, double elimination. 3 min.The Trov action cam will be used.Major havoks will have the match restarted as necessary.The CENTAURI arena. An edited octagon with the same geometry, but hammers do more damage, pits open at 1:30, and floor flippers are less powerful. One of the benefits of human driving is that we aren't stupid and can dodge and use hazards. Use this to your advantage in both designing your bot and driving it. practice driving in the octagon it is the only thing that matters in the worldNorth American entrants only. Sorry to the others. Even with Parsec, overseas latency is a problem. BUILDING RULES: Ironforge LWDSL-S ruleset, to make it competitive No external programs allowed (BFE, RA2CF, Ro7B) except for skinning. The exception is BFE editing the chassis height lower, but components must fit in legally! I WILL check. Entries must show a high degree of controlled movement. Be creative. Not technically a rule, but try to make something to be remembered. Build something crazy that works. Go nuts! No joke entries. This tournament is a showcase to push the envelope of what new designs work in RA2. I’m not going to waste a slot on a bot that isn’t designed to compete well. The builder does not HAVE to be the driver. I need the builder's blessing if you are driving their bot, however. I reserve the right to deny any entry for any reason.Build well. Skin well. Drive well. Let’s make this a tournament to be well remembered. Online tournaments have the potential to extend the life of RA2, let’s try our best to make this one work. Make a good and cool bot. SIGNUPS: (close 9/15) APPROVED1. Lightning S. - Migraine
2. [cringey name goes here] - Ground Zero EVO
3. 8bean - Freezing Phoenix
4. Plerco - Paradise
5. freeziez - Cooling Down [built by Reier]
6. Evil Toaster - St. Manticore [built by Reier]
7. Thrackerzod - Exactly Lethal
8.BACKUPS/CURRENTLY UNAPPROVED...AVAILABLE 'RENTAL' BOTS (PM owner for permission to use)Garter Snake (Hammer) (built by 8bean - link) Unnamed FS (built by [cringey] - link) Unnamed HS (built by Reier - link) Unnamed Undercutter (built by Reier - link) I will not be entering to avoid bias and lag advantage. I'm serious though someone better do another online tourney so i can enter holy nuuuuuts For me to accept your entry, you need to send me a PM with ALL of the following files/information:TWO IDENTICAL copies (or more) of your bot (each with differing keyboard controls, or alternatively, keyboard and gamepad). The inputs can be whatever you want as long as you pick only ONE color from this diagram for each copy:This is so two people can potentially play on the same keyboard layout. Learn how to drive well with both, as you will likely be required to.
Timezone (Pacific, EST, etc)
Times and days available to fight (be generous please). Saturday and Sunday if at all possible. I will try to work with what you got. But remember that you have the potential to fight any entrant, so the more time you have available, the better. Fights under ideal circumstances don't last more than 10 or 15 minutes, but plan for perhaps up to 45.
Parsec user ID Link to registerI will not accept your entry until ALL of the above has been submitted and the bot is approved. If you are confused, ASK ME!Note: Again, the builder of the robot doesn’t necessarily have to be the driver. Not everyone is good at both, and that’s fine. If you are planning on driving someone else’s bot, you need to say who built it and I also need a PM from the builder giving their blessing. Once I check and accept all the bots I’ll make a public google spreadsheet with the timezones for all participating members, and we can set the bracket and fight times from there. I’m fully aware we may need to reschedule some. I’ll give people notifications of their fight times & dates as far in advance as I can. Feel free to ask questions. Let's do this.

i feel like you would have to also nerf grip levels of wheels too, since bots already seem pretty uncontrollable with 2wd give how powerful motors are in IF
Couple things to that. IF i do the tiny balance patch (big if btw) I don't really want to change currently existing bots in a noticeable way. If i just lightened the wheels, previously made bots would still be mostly untouched with the exception of being a few kgs lighter overall. Changing grip factors on the other hand would throw balance off in ways I don't really want to deal with atm. Not saying it should or shouldn't be done at some point, but not specifically for this tournament. The other factor is ballasts. Add like 3 ballasts on a LW and you move twice as slow with the same drive power. It's not a big deal. Also: practice driving. people have become real lazy drivers due to AI. it's really not that hard. ---- any opinions on arenas/weightclasses/etc?

SBVSPLASHCongratulations to the winner, Lightning S.! I mean this when I say it though, everyone did a good job. Thank you so much for being a great first test for online tournaments. People were respectful to each other and it was much more personal than an AI tournament. It was a huge success in my mind! Hopefully I'll get to do another soon. That being said, it's time to give out some awards to recognize the achievements of those you think deserve it. The categories are: BEST DRIVER for who had the most driving skill, using their bot and the arena to their advantage the best. BEST DESIGN for the most efficient, well constructed build. INNOVATIVE DESIGN for which design pushed the limits of building and can inspire the building of others in ways maybe not considered before. BEST MOMENT for your favorite moment from a match. C&P: BEST DRIVER
BEST DESIGN
INNOVATIVE DESIGN
BEST MOMENT My votes: BEST DRIVER Lightning S. Perhaps a bit expected, but I really feel he had the best control of his bot out of the competitors. He used hazards very well too, to a consistently greater degree than anyone else. BEST DESIGN Thrackerzod with Paralytic Dream. Hardly the most innovative design in the field, but it is a very tight build balancing damage, durability, and power. Also probably the best design in play for the Octagon all things considered due to its small size. INNOVATIVE DESIGN Clickbeetle with Falling Star 2. The design would be very mediocre with AI, but not so with pvp. Very nice to see people pushing the boundaries of building. I hope online will inspire people to create unique designs, cause as CB said "it changes what is good" when the human factor is in play. BEST MOMENT freeziez losing both flippers in round 2 of the semi. died laughing when I saw it. sorry bud Competitors are encouraged to vote, but you may not vote for yourself. Voting closes in 1 week, 9/7. Congrats to everyone involved!

Who invented DSl-S then
jesus christ himself
Doubt it
Jesus wouldn't make such a bad meta
you not being able to build well for it hardly makes it bad DSL-s has been around since the beginning of DSL. hard to say specifically 'who' made it

I like bloodlines but 2 razors on a ztek disk is dumb
this bot was juggler
it's just kind of a waste of weight to have only 2 razors on a ztek is the problem

must have been drunk 
sure that's probably it and not just a 15-year old who just stumbled on how to play with basic html on google chrome  --- an innovator. a legend. these are but few words to describe the artistic vision that one man brought to the ignorant masses.  the TRUE avant-garde is bound by no rules. to the one who embraced, nay, embodied the grueling hours of work, the soul-wrenching angst of creative introspection, the toil of the craft at large... we can can truly call thee an artiste. behold, the icon. lloopp d lloopp, and his vision that shaped a generation. may you rest in peace.  iron wolf, c 1765"I drwed a wolf and is kiool" such elegance of line. simple, but powerful. robust. the flurry of strokes belies a deeper tranquility. few have such mastery and sensitivity to the inner feelings of man.  sunriese ove a munten, c 1941-44"im tryin noo shayden tekniqz" a radical departure from lloopp's more accessible work, but no less intricate. far from it. the raw emotion that explodes from the paint is palpable. while a short-lived phase of his career, none can say that sunriese ove a munten was not influential to the highest degree on pioneering art worldwide to a new age.  dog, c 800BC"its a dog ps im doin rekests so pm mee if yo wnt one dunn" legends are never respected during their lifetime. it is truly difficult to comprehend that at one time lloopp was relatively unknown to the world at large. though subtle, his inner torment can be seen. dog mocks those who cannot see the world for what it truly is, a place of despair and yet of beauty. many insensitives need it spelled out to them. lloopp aids those who are lost in the darkness of insipidity.  greien laady, 1941"1 of mai bast wurrks" even later in life, lloopp was able to push the boundaries of art as nearly no one had before. building upon all his decades of experience, the technique is utterly flawless. the raw emotion, the raging yet equanimitous sea of his own soul is espoused with every stroke of the brush. this may be the closest man will ever get to reading the mind of another. in knowing lloopp, we more deeply know ourselves.  cpatian soper vs da shrakmna, 2012mia 1ts froay in2 da wrold of commix we mourn the loss of such a champion of life, but recognize his final work as his magnum opus. while his signature style is altered, his vision is readily seen. even in his first foray into the world of comics [sic], he was already leagues above all others in capability, execution, and passion. the short tale of captain super [sic] vs shark man [sic] mirrors both the inner and outer struggles in the lives of the common man. while relatable, lloopp was more than able to inspire us to achieve heights we never considered - or thought possible. lloopp displays through captain super [sic] the heroics that every human can exemplify. the rock [sic] represents the power that each of us holds within our innermost being, and shark man [sic] the obstacles we are able to overcome. for that lloopp, we thank you. for the lives you've changed. the artistic limits you've shattered. but most importantly, the chance--however short it might have been--to know the inner beauty of yourself. -- the lloopp d lloopp foundation is currently accepting donations to the relief of the irish everywhere. contact your local outlet for more details.

Then we can have a 10 years anniversary for it next year then?
i mean the 'tenth' would have been in 2013 since its been around since the beginning, it just wasnt popular until recently

thanks to both. figured out how to add another hellraiserpvp category under hazards.py. wish I could do it straight from the arena though in case I want to easily export the arena for others (who may have an edited hazards.py)
Not really sure what to do about the invisible wall I want for the octagon though. dug around in a decompiled gmf and have absolute no idea which vertexes to edit, and that's not even considering any compatibility issues recompiling it might have. probably will have to shelve the idea unfortunately.
