And as of now (or at least as of 1 hour ago), all builders can now send in their third entries! This will be the cap for all builders, so enter the 'bots you're most interested in competing with! ^_^

I think OBJRA2 has taken ahold of me in some way. Its like I've opened a Pandora's box or some sh**. Anyways, 'bot.

Archimedes.png

Here's Archimedes. A complete upgrade to Apotheosis, Archimedes is more compact and dangerous than ever before, now with 4WD, 4 large typhoon teeth and a heavy steel wedge. It's designed to immediately smother spinners and tank punishment thanks to its design.

Just a reminder, there is a little over 24 hours left before Second Entries can be sent in, so keep that in mind!

I have still not received any new entries from anyone at the moment. Just currently waiting on people.

DSL TC Showcases / dootIRL (Pangolin 3 MOD-08JR42)
« on: September 15, 2020, 11:19:59 AM »
Ah, Pangolin. Probably my most notorious 'bot of my career. I've always loved this 'bot, and now a 2020 edition has come around to finally shake the world! ...or just amuse people on a niche forum. But hey, it's something.

Pangolin3_08JR42.png

So here's Pangolin 3: MOD-08JR42. Pangolin 3 essentially redesigned, now finally having an actual chassis instead of an extender frame thanks to my first proper use of OBJ-RA2, hence its name designation. This was a test to see how well OBJRA2 would work, and I'd consider this a god-damned success.

Not much to update, really, aside from one thing:
Entry Rejected: playzooki (Weapon supports are not fully IRL and inappropriate name/skin.)

Still at 15/64 entries! If you're able to, enter as soon as you can! ^_^

Edit: Entry Accepted and Ready to go: DylanTRM.

And now we're a quarter of the way there with 16 entries!

Under the assumption you're keeping to the 18:00 GMT...
Time is up, specifically.
Actually, you're one hour late and that's 'cause I got the wrong timezone. I'm still not very good with this type of thing. :V

The tournament actually starts at 18:00 BST now, so my bad. :P

New rule added regarding flippers with weaponry attached. They are not allowed unless you are building a clampbot.

Quote
Offensive armour or defensive offense-type weaponry will not be allowed.
I'm guessing this means I can't make a standard robot with a rear plow, then spin it around and call it swiss army.
That was weirdly worded, so see also: Nibbler from extreme bots.

As long as the plow itself isn't weaponized all that much, you should be all right. This is more of a case-by-case basis to prevent any abuse of weaponry from happening.

Also, another update, signups have a set start date. Be prepared.

New rules added. You can find all about them in Part 2B of Section 2.

The arena is still yet to be fully skinned, but that's the main thing left to do besides various tweaks.

Edit: The arena is officially skinned and ready to roll! All that's left is potential tweaks to the ruleset and some editing on my part, but we're almost ready!

Added a new rule relating to top-hinged flippers. They can only use servo motors for their weaponry instead of bursts to prevent them from being overpowered.
