While most tournaments pit robots against each other. This will be the first where it tests a robot's endurance. This would be in a style of more like a reality show where a robot will get eliminated each week by the testing in the arena it will go through.
Tests will include,
-The Small Arena's Crusher (Armor)(Time Alive / Hits From The Cusher= Score)
-Resistance to Popups (HnM 4 would make a great contender)
-Battery Life (Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth)
-SHRiMech Speed (No invertability)
-Flame Pits (The time when all drive motors are burnt = Score)
-Resistance to flail razors (Time destroyed = Score)
-Speed+Tourque (fastest time across the joust arena/ the overall torque of the bot)
-Face off w/ a random Nar AI (2.0) robot (Most likely going to be the championship round)
This cannot be completely AIed in any way, shape, or form (trust me I've tried). But some of the tests can be feasible though self control or SOME AI. This will be the most difficult tournament yet.

Bracket Layout
This is not a "first come, first serve" tournament. Instead, I would allow any amount of robots from different users to be able to qualify. BUT, ONLY 10 will make the final cut.
Each competitor will have their own "Pod" so other robots will not interfere with another's game play. To make this more easier, the arena the robot is in will in fact be skinned with something that would represent their pod (it's a surprise)
In every show there is a battle and a treatment, the battle will represent a random Nar AI HW. The longer a robot is alive with their randomly chosen robot, they will be exempted from the treatment.
The treatment could take as long as it can, depending on how each robot is designed. The robot that preforms the least greatest, would have to go through a penalty round consisting of a certain benchmark needing to be obtained in contrast to the original treatment. When a robot fails a penalty round, they are eliminated.
The arenas will go as follows:
The Small Arena
The Combat Zone
The Robot Wars Arena
The Ring Arena (NOT SERGE'S)
The Test Arena
The Bot Lab
Dummy's Think Tank
