Tournament Archives / Survival of the Fittest 2: Survive Harder
« on: July 29, 2012, 05:51:20 AM »
It's been two whole years. I think it's time for my first sequel. Survival of the Fittest 2: Survive Harder.
Each entrant will build a team consisting of a Lightweight, a Middleweight, and a Heavyweight. When they send the team, they will specify the order the team should be entered. (LW, then MW, then HW...MW, HW, then LW, whatever). This will be the order they are entered in every rumble they participate.
The matches will be 4 way rumbles. the first bot on each team will face off against each other. When the first bot in a rumble is eliminated, the match is stopped and the eliminated bot is replaced with the next one on that team. The match is then restarted. This continues until there is only one team left. That team is declared the winner of the match and moves on. If the match goes to time, the bot with the lowest point total is the one eliminated. In the highly unlikely event of a tie (be it an equal score or two bots being eliminated at the same time) both bots are eliminated.
1. This will be a DSL tournament
2. No custom components, cheatbot, BFE, Haxmode, AAM or any other cheaty stuff
3. skinned components ARE allowed
4. Standard DSL Realism enforced.
5. Arena will be the Ring Arena
6. Havok restart rule: A bot can have one free havok restart. A second one in a match, and that bot is eliminated. If in the same match a bot from the same team gets yet another havok, that entire team is eliminated (thanks for the suggestion NFX)
7. A Maximum of 6 flails PER TEAM are allowed (2 more from last time)
8. Because I love the things so much, Ring Spinners are allowed.
8a. Ring Spinner builder rules.
a. chassis must be close to the same size and shape as your ring. No tiny square chassis with a extra large disc.
b. only thing the disc is allowed to pass through is motors and wheels. batteries and control board must still be clear.
9. As always, I strongly encourage you to AI your own bots, however, if you can't, I will do it for you.
10. Crawlers are also allowed, but no bumblebots, trinity flyers, nasty pickles, controlled movement is key.
11. Loophole closer: Popups and True popups count as the same bot type for the "all bots must be different types" rule. Same goes for SS and FSS.
12. Due to the amount of bots involved, only 16 entrants allowed, with a wildcard match. last 4 to enter will go through a separate match. the one coming out on top will become entrant number 16.
13. Team themes strongly encouraged, In the very least, I want a team name.
14. In the interest of shortening the vids, the time limit on the heats will be 2 minutes.
15. Nicsan get an automatic entry if he wants it for winning In The Air Tonight.
16. I will enter if there is space for me, if not, it's all you guys.
17. You are allowed ONE update of your team. This can be either minor changes to the entire team (each bot stays the same original bot type, just changing weapons around or adding more armor as an example) OR you may do a major change to ONE bot (becomes a completely new bot). This is mostly to prevent an abundance of placeholders.
18. "Clickbeetle Caught Me Rule": All bots on a team must be different types.
My entry: Team "With a Baseball Bat"
Peanut is a HS, Butters a Ring Spinner, and Jelly? is..I'm calling it a SnFs (sit and face spin). I'm entering them in LW/MW/HW order.
