the longest running series on gtm has returned....
hft rebooted 
Format- DSL IRL 2.6
- HW (800)
- 16 robot double-elimination minimum
- Qualifiers or bracket expansion if needed (there will be no free byes)
- Up to 4 entries per builder (1 guaranteed, up to 3 reserves)
- Judging will be split between Damage (5), Aggression (5), Control (3), and Style (2)
- Damage based on functional damage inflicted, not superficial or game score
- Aggression based on initiating contact deliberately
- Control based on ability to steer and direct towards the opponent
- Style based on design originality and match entertainment
Rules- No flamethrowers, cheatbot2, or custom components
- Reskinned components fine, as long as they do not conflict with others
- BFE allowed as long as it is not used solely for a competitive advantage
- If you do not provide AI, a generic AI will be provided for you
- I also reserve the right to tell you to do it yourself
- Havok explosion may result in match restart or disqualification
- If the havok does not significantly impact the match, or if the havok explosion only affects the bot responsible for the havok explosion (e.g. a robot which suffers critical damage flipping over due to its own part loss)
- Multibots allowed, but may require an accompanying reserve in the event that a qualifying rumble takes place
- No invincible armor
Disclaimers- Entries preferably to be sent via the forum’s messenger with the subject line “HFTR”, but can be sent through Discord as long as I confirm that I've received it
- The rules are deliberately unrestrictive to encourage creativity, but IRL rules will be reasonably scrutinized
- Egregious weapon spam, stacking, or other strategies used to gain an unfair competitive advantage may result in builder disqualification
- Deadline is TBA
