I'll probably be hosting another wacky gimmick tourney like this in the near future :dance:Well here's that tourney. Tracks are hardly ever used in IRL builds due to their immense weight, giant size, and overall less practicality when compared to wheels. So I was wondering how a tournament of only tracked bots would go.
Signups when beanman?I thought it needed to be approved and moved by a tourney mod or admin first. If all the info is good then it should be ready.

Notes:
I decided to enact the chassisbot rule due to several factors
1. the majority of tracked bots I've seen are chassisbots
2. havoks r dum and ruin good fights
3. uhhhh... chassis skins heck
In order to ensure that a whole bunch of overheads or gutrippers murder the chassis in 3 seconds, I chose the Starcore arena to provide ample flipout zones. This should hopefully balance the field out and provide builders with the choice to try and go for the oota or bite into that juicy chassis for a KO
What do you guys think and would you be down to enter this?
geese accepted.If it happens, then maybe I will have to pull out. I don't have time to download and play 2.1 atm
also, ive noticed that theres been a lot of 2.1 hype recently. would you boomers be interested if i switched the DSL-S side event to 2.1? (i've already notified the current entrants and they would be allowed to update and/or resend a new bot if it does change versions)
I don't have time to download and play 2.1 atmBruh it takes like 10 minutes or less just to do that
Well, can't use my laptop because RL stuffI don't have time to download and play 2.1 atmBruh it takes like 10 minutes or less just to do that
I just want to say congratulations to anyone who managed to successfully make a track bot with no agod.Got it working first try
The OrcCorp's IRL entry is in
Also, I received second entries from Nightraven, Primeval, and Code Red within 5 minutes of each other so there will be a 3 way rumble to determine which gets the last spot.
Now that the IRL entries are closed all other event signups are closed. This means that the only side event that will be participating is the Ironforge one
