Hello all! I am starting a tournament called Attack of the Ants!
RULES:
Let's get this out of the way. AIing is always appreciated, my if unavailible, I will try my best to AI.
DSL 2.3
IRL
AW
16 combatants
It will be double elimination.
Custom components are you unacceptable.
AI parts are acceptable.
Custom smartzones are ok.
Component freedom.... sure, why not
Any out-of-game modifications are not allowed
All robots are ok, even clusterbots and modular robots (albeit not recomended)
Any Havok Explosions will be responded with a restart. If it consistantly happens, the problematic robot will be disqualified
We will be using the DSL Battlebox (this could be changed later on)
Matches are 3 minues long.
Judging goes as so:
Damage- 4 points
Control- 3 points
Aggresion- 2 point
I will enter with my own robot: PooPoo3D

You realise allowing people to edit their bot between rounds is ridiculous? Especially with AWs where there is little chassis variety.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Maybe you could make a restriction that you can only edit 1/10th of the weight of your overall bot. E.G: In a 150kg robot, I could remove and replace 15kg worth of stuff at most. For modular robots, the same rule applies with each module. For example, my flipper could have a spinner module. If I then choose the spinner module and want to change it, it goes back to the rule that I can change 1/10th of the weight of it.

Even it being stock really limits the adjustments you can make before the rount

Had to reset votes to get rid of third option. I don't know why I even put it there.

Also, judging seems rather odd, given it's made up of 6 points in total, it appears from looking at it that it can and in a draw? Mind explaining it further?

Like youve said, stock antweight are very boring. Maybe dsl ants would be more appealing. Or lightweights? But thatd would defeat the name of the tourney.

I can change it to Beetle Bashers Brawl, or Livid Lightweights.
However, since this is my first, I feel ants are easy to AI. Plus, stock AW is part of the challenge.

I'll give this thing one more shot. If it doesn't work, I guess I'll scrap it. IDK what to do in these scenarios

Adapt the rules to get more entrants?

Understandable. I'll just change it to DSL? Or do I just scrap it?
