It's hard to give feedback without a meta.
Kinda a shame, because most of these are beautiful.

I like the idea.
Using the contest section is definitely something we should do more often, and I'm glad people like you are breaking the ice.

I personally love the idea. The question is who other than me would enter?
Making high quality battles isn't that easy.

so... if anyone remembers the RACCOON community, i've been asked by Moonset to see if anyone would be willing to host an event on GTM using RACCOON's modded DSL version to see what would happen, and i decided to do it myself
This tourney is therefore going to use the RACCOON DSL mod as well as the RACCOON ruleset
Guidelines
The robots should be viable in real life. You can use RA2CF.
Hold on, this isn’t exactly GTM IRL, but you may find some rules familiar.
Viability in Detail
Except for robots with weapon shafts that are inside their chassis, all spinners have to have realistic weapon mounts.
Reinforced Perm counts as weapon mount.
Flipper arms also need to have realistic appearance.
Spinning objects cannot intersect.
IRL style weapon mount rules except looser.
“Flipper arms also need to have realistic appearance.” basically means you can’t make flipper arms out of skirts, but you can use skirts as wedges (see Biohazard).
Overall, RACOON is more focused on functional similarity rather than appearance.
Banned Parts
All cheatbot2 parts are banned. Motors cannot be used as armor.
Motor armor refers to when a motor is directly attached to the chassis and therefore becomes indestructible and
when said motor is sticking out/covering a portion of chassis that is usually hit. However, motors sticking out of the
top (see Bite Force) is allowed.
Weapon/Robot Types
Only the original builder can modify robots from the past tournaments and re-enter them for
future tournaments. If two or more robots from the same builder are similar in wedge structure
and position, weapon type, structure, position, size, and overall shape, then only one of said
robots can compete.
Don’t copy and paste.
Weight Limit
Weight limit is 1000kg for heavyweight open and sportsman, 500kg for middleweight. Up to
0.4kg extra weight will be granted if robot contains LEDs.
Special Rules
Modular Robots
Modular robot refers to robots that have a fixed type of weapon and chassis (including drive
system) and have interchangeable parts (such as wedge, armor, weapon shape and size). You
can have up to 3 modules per robot. All robot files should be submitted together, with different
names for differentiation. A module needs to be selected before a match.
Swiss Army Bots
Swiss army bot refers to robots that have a fixed chassis (including drive system) and have
interchangeable weapon types. All robot files should be submitted together, with different names
for differentiation. A module needs to be selected before a match.
Srsly what’s even the point of modular robots?
Special Case
If two modular/swiss army robots are involved in one match, the competitors will PM me before the match about the modules and AIs used. Module selection will not be disclosed before the video release.
However, conditional AI can be requested.
Conditional AI is used when you don’t know what module your opponent will use and have different strategies for the modules your opponent has. Conditional AI is specified at the same time as module selection, and done by me right before the match. There’s no conditional module.
Robot Naming
Robot name cannot be Enter Bot Name or bot1,2,3... Offensive names are not allowed. File names should be the same as the in-game robot name.
Format:
16 entrants (i will not enter)
Double Elimination
RACCOON Arena (basically weeb-ified League of Champions arena)
Signups end on October 10th
i'm just asking this, please take this seriously if you're going to enter, i will deny any blatant jokebots
Alright, sign-ups topic.

Damn, some of these robots are giving me a butt load of nostalgia.

« on: September 07, 2019, 01:05:35 PM »
I have a bug where every bot I've built in the current build is immune to elimination by pits and ring-outs, so I don't know if she'd be allowed. D:
This has been a bug that effects every single robot since the August06 patch. I'm pretty sure everyone knows of it. It shouldn't affect your ability to get in. Otherwise, I love the disc. I need to learn how to make hollow things like that.

I agree that GTM's relationship with others is and always has been a key issue. I tried really hard to reach out to all the different communities last summer to make connections and mend fences, and was mostly ignored/mocked for my efforts. I felt that despite the reputation of the community, most people had a level of respect for me. I was mostly proven wrong. If someone else could succeed where I failed, I would be wholly impressed.
Personally I think people outside of GTM get along well with us on an individual level. Just dont like the branding we're associated
So a brand change in order? Then it's settled. From now on we're GeeseTriggersMrstrsyko. On a serious note, though. This is an issue that isn't easily fixed without either more discipline, or a more friendly image.

I have no idea where I stand in this, but I will say I enjoyed the read.

Do we really need this stupid poll rule ? anyway, poll added
To avoid spam, yes. We don't want to overflow the sign-ups section with tourneys no one will enter. Besides, as soon as one finishes a tourney, they can skip the poll.

Ok, that is cool as sh**.
How'd you make that happen?
Looks like a skinned shell cover put on the top attached to a spinmotor.

There's now way the Tento shell is hallow right?
You sir, have too much time on your hands.

I have never seen this robot in my entire life.
Looks decent though.

-A bot is unable to steer left and right, again pit floor eliminates that
vid: This can be a combanation on issues on the robot, not the game. -Your wheelbase is too thin. -Your wheels are too small (Go one size larger than what barely peeks out). -Your motors are the Ampflow 30-400s. They are way too weak to be used on 2WD.

Upon installing the patch, I had a bug where two of my bots disappeared in-game and were replaced with a dummy simply called "robot." I couldn't do anything with the dummy so I simply deleted to the two robots through the files and the dummy disappeared. Outside of that one thing, the game is still great. Especially now that I can see shell spinners. Only one other bug report to be found since last update, being that this robot is completely unaffected by the pit's killzone in the test arena. Might be a height thing.

I can see it going one of two ways.
1: Resource management style gameplay where each part has a cost and you start with a low budget. Kinda like every other sports game.
You continually battle over and over again using your winnings to go from underdog to topdog.
2: RA2 style where you go around competing in various live events just having a good time. Possibly with an overarching tournament between them.
I personally prefer the later of the two, but in all honesty, I'd be ok if there just wasn't a campaign mode at all.
