Shred Bots - Signups
« on: September 22, 2018, 09:26:01 AM »
Hey guys, im planing on starting a tournament and I want your opinions on it.

 
Shred Bots Logo.bmp


Rules (Format):

DSL HW IRL
55 bots, battlebots format, two entries per person.
There will be a desperado tournament which opens half way. People can apply and I will accept the ones that I think deserve to be there.
There will also be a final chance tourney(single elimination) where all the unchosen 3-1 bots and 2-2 bots fight to get the 16th seed. If byes are necessary, they will be given to the robots that performed the best. (e.g. 3-1 bot over 2-2 bot)
Component freedom allowed
ObJRA 2 and BFE allowed
No Custom Components
Both Flatmotors, Razer Claw Motor and the Overkill Motor are allowed in regards to CB2.
All IRL packs and coloured bars are allowed.
Before a fight, builders are allowed to adjust 80 kg of their bot to prepare for their next fight. Interchangeable bots can change their modules and then apply this 80kg. Also this 80kg is not necessary and I think the tournament will be most realistic if you don't use this opportunity every time.


Rules(Competition):

Robogames arena
3 minute Matches
Havoks will cause a restart. If a havoc happens 5 times, it will go to a judges decision based on all five matches.

35/55

Personally I think its easier to have alternate attachments on entry.

Im having alternate attachments too, but I just think it would be interesting to see people making minor adjustments to their bot to prepare for a fight. (like hyper shocks rake or something). I don't know, do you reckon 80 kg is too much to be allowed to adjust?

well i mean ok but i doubt tyou are going to get 55 different entries
also, it feels like you are copying battlebots a tad too much
please eat something that you're allergic to, in excessive ammounts

I tries to distinguish it from battlebots with the whole last chance tourney thing. Also if I cant get 55 entries I will make entries 3 per person.

My dude, you're setting yourself up for a massive fail here. Trust me, put this on ice for a short while and host a tournament with max. 8 entries first. You want to make this awesome idea reality but you have no idea how much time/effort it will take. There's a reason that it used to be a rule that your first tournament had to be limited to 8 entries.

Ive already recorded a tournament with this exact same format with my own bots. The only difference will be using other peoples bots.

Recording is literally the easiest part of a tournament. Receiving, checking and AIing all the entries then producing splashes is far more difficult and time consuming, and unless you're very organised it can become an organizational nightmare very quickly. The format of your tournament makes this even more challenging, as every single modification of a bot is essentially a new entrant that you need to do everything except make a splash for all over again.

At the end of the day it's your choice, but I guarantee that it will only end up going one way.

Again, my AI standard means it literally takes 2 minutes per robot and episodes will also be weekly meaning that at most it's 13 bots a week. But you have to factor in that for a lot of fights people won't make changes and a lot of people will use their own AI considering how bad mine is.

I will also make splashes as entries come in to stop it piling up.

There's a reason that it used to be a rule that your first tournament had to be limited to 8 entries.
To be honest, while this is a good idea, I have a feeling that there is the max 16 entry rule for first time hosts. In fact, one of the reasons why I hosted Robot Emperor with 16 entries, aside from practicing on hosting and tourney, is that it's because in the rules

Edit: Also, will you add Badnik's recolor pack, like the recolored Frenzy Hammers and Robot X casters.
And also, the disc covers. And oh, how about cheatbot2 components? Will you adopt a stance like me and Gulden and allow them all except for overly abusive ones, or be like a lot of tourney hosts and only allow specific ones, like the flatmotor and overkill servo
And finally, do you want to add a rule about walkers, shufflers, clusterbots/minibots, or drones? And also, if people should AI servobots and walkers themselves if they want to enter it

Nobody really seems to have a problem with it, and ive tested the format by making a practise tournament before so I think it'll be fine. As for all of the things you said in your edit, can you send me a pm for the links to the two mods you mentioned and ill include them in the sign ups. As for chatbot 2 components, i will allow both flat motors, overkill motor and the razor claw motor. All of this will be added in the signups.

See that would be fine and dandy if Battlebots didn't have a Last Chance RUMBLE. I thought this was just a stand in because RA2 doesn't allow more than 4 bots.
