wish it wasnt irl so we could use our actual first dsl bots
I have to agree with Reier here. I remember that when building my first DSL HW bot before I joined GTM, the building practices of the bot wouldn't of been acceptable by today's IRL meta standards. In truth, some users at the time of making their first DSL IRL bots, probably wouldn't of known about IRL building rules or at the time seeing DSL 2.1 IRL building rules, which would be unacceptable by today's standards such as using skirt hinges for flipping arms etc. So if you want this tournament idea to work, at least make it an unrealistic or standard tournament, due to what has been previous mentioned in the post.

also irl fad is super new and most people on the forum joined before it took off

Just because you say a meta is almost dead, doesn't mean you can't do it. Doing IRL for this type of tournament is risky, due to what I said in my previous post. But running a standard tournament may lead to a low turn out due to a lack of overall interest. It's your decision at the end of the day, and I'm not going to stop you.

Most people's actual first DSL bots probably aren't even DSL-S legal either. I know mine aren't.

If in testing, a robot havoks continuously, it will be DQd

TOURNEY RULES
Single Elimination
16 robots
3rd place playoff
The RW arena will be used
I will be entering
If there are more than 16 entries, rumbles will occur to determine who gets in

MATCH RULES
3 minutes
Robot wars arena
For judges decisions, 3 points for damage, 2 for aggression, 1 for strategy, 3 for control, if there is a tie, 2 points for spectacle

Yeah, pic for what he meant

And it's meant to be IRL, but that was made when I still didn't understand IRL and have RA2CF to do it, so. I could try remake Flipper Time or Vert Shredder, though getting the details right are a pain even with pics in my showcase
