Title: [DSL IRL - All Weightclasses] ADOT IRL Tournament - SIGNUPS (CLOSED)
Post by: doot on March 25, 2017, 02:27:01 PM
[splashcomingsoon.png]

Main Rules:
DSL 2.2 - IRL
All Weightclasses are allowed apart from UHW and GHW.
Weight Limits for each class:
1 entry per person per weightclass, for a total of 7 entries.
--You do not have to enter every weightclass, but I highly recommend that you do.
There are no entry limits in this tournament.
The signups will have a deadline in place when each weightclass has over 16 entries available.
Although I can AI your robots, I am not reliable at doing so. I highly suggest you do so yourself.
I can reject a robot for any reason, whether it be tryhard robots or blatant re-entries with no change whatsoever.
If any of your robots get rejected, you do not get a reserved spot. You are able to enter as many times as required until your robot gets accepted.
Any of your robots can be updated once and once only when they are first accepted. This can include either a change to the base robot or a new robot entirely. The update is removed once I get a robot that is acceptable.

Building Rules:
Your robots can have any kind of locomotion, including weaponed wheels. They must show controlled movement.
--Wheels and treads do not get any extra weight.
--Wheels that act as weaponry (such as Ginsu) are ineligible for a weight bonus.
--Shufflers have an extra 50% of weight to use. The bonus has to be used on the locomotion and Shufflers cannot have weapons on its wheels as it would fall under the weaponed wheels category.
--Pure Walkers have a 100% weight bonus. They have to use proper legs and the weight bonus has to be used on the walking mechanism at minimum.
Generally, all robot types are allowed.
--Thwackers and SnS'es are allowed, but can only have a small range of attack to use.
--Meltybrain Spinners cannot have any moving weaponry whatsoever. The robot must also have LED's to signify a Melty robot.
Any robots using Defensive Offense will be rejected.
--It is up to me to judge if your robot offends this rule. Chisels are fine, but sledgehammer defense isn't, for example.
--The ruling is more lenient on rammers, but obvious weapon spam is banned.
Burst Motor spam will cause your robot to be rejected.
--This is to avoid the BS circulating around robots like Badger's Paladin and my own Aether Paradise.
This time around, clusterbots and distraction robots can be built as the nature of the tournament allows it.
--Clusterbots have to total up to the weight limits of their weightclasses.
--If 60% of the weight of the robot goes out, the entire robot is eliminated.
Drones return to the scene this time around.
--The robot has to weigh a maximum of 150KGs and require an exposed chassis to avoid what happened with robots last time. The drones can use BFE, but the chassis cannot be any lower than 0.1 in the notepad++ file.
--Exclusively for this tournament, the hover engine weighs only 0.1KGS and is now completely invisible. However, you have to make faux-rotors for the drones. This means your drones will have to weigh 189.9KGs maximum before you send them to me if you do not have the self-made hovercraft.
--Drones are not allowed in weightclasses below CW, however. Any attempt to enter drones below CW will get rejected automatically.
Modular units are allowed. Only 3 options are allowed for a single robot and 2 per half of a clusterbot.
--You have to give me a list of what attachment goes to what robot when the SBV hits the screen. You have a week to do this, and if you do not answer for all robots, then I will choose for you.
DSC IRL packs are allowed and are highly encouraged for this pack, along with skinned components.
Cheatbot2 components allowed are the MOE Motor, Flatmotor, Stock Flamethrower, Nightmare E-Tek, Hworf Blade, TDD Gear and Overkill Servo Motor.
I am allowing Component Freedom and BFE for this tournament so you can make your robots look more... awesomer.
OBJ RA2 is allowed. If the robot crashes the game when damaged, though, it'll get rejected.
Any entries that are terrible will get rejected straight away. Put some bloody effort in.
I will also ask you to rename/reskin robots with inappropriate nameschemes and skins. They will be rejected if the name isn't changed within 24 hours.

Battle Rules:
The battles take place in... well, its a complete bloody secret. The arena will be revealed once I get to the end of signups.
Each match will last for 3 minutes and all fights will be a 1V1.
All of the brackets will be double elimination.
If your robot cannot show controlled movement for about 30 seconds, then it'll be eliminated.
In the event that the match hits a judges' decision, then I will be deciding, based on the criteria of Aggression, Control and Damage.
--Damage and Aggression are worth 2 points while Control is 1 point.
--In order to avoid obvious bias, I will not enter my tournament in any way possible.
Matches will be re-recorded until I have a match with minimal havoking.

Entry Lists:
Green: Accepted and AI'ed.
Amber: Received and Accepted
Blue: Received
Red: Rejected
Italics: Update Used

SIGNUPS ARE NOW OFFICIALLY OVER. NO FURTHER ENTRIES CAN BE SENT IN.

ENTERING.

Quick couple of questions: Are drones really a good idea? How are you going to make them easy to kill if the bottom is invincible? Will the arena have area for OOTA's?

I voted no on drones for now.

So apparently balancing out flippers so that they're not overpowered is equivalent to me being salty...

all right then (also i mentioned my own robot because I know you're not the only one guilty of this lul)

I thought you were just being salty about muh 3 bursts, rather than trying to balance flippers. I agree, flippers are retarded broken in DSL, not only in IRL.

But it's not a great method of balancing, because 2 long VDMAs are literally more powerful than the 3 mediums I used on Paladin, for similar weight (I can't remember if they're heavier/lighter in total).

A better method of balancing would be having a maximum total weight spent on bursts per weight class.

Multiple weight-classes you say?
I'll be happy to enter this tournament seeing it's sounds similar to other tournaments like Swords of Glory when you can build any bot for any weight division without having to enter them all.But seriously, I don't know how difficult is it to build a realistic Ant-weight in a game full of top heavy parts and from someone who can't build Ant-weights (If anyone can give me an example, please PM me), it might be possible but I'll probably give those weight-classes a pass. Apart from that, I'll give the other weight classes a good attempt, even when I don't win. Overall, I'm up for it.

Will definitely be entering.

Pretty impartial about the drone subject.

The results of the vote is IN!

With 13 yes votes to 10 no votes, this means that Drones are going to be allowed into the tournaments! Only the ones at CW class and above, though. I'm currently working on making a collision-less hover engine so that it does not give the drones Narmour.

is it gonna be an enclosed arena (combat arena, containment cube) or open air (battlebox, RW arena, Parking Lot Arena)?

The arena may have OotA zones. Its up to you to decide if it is or not :3

A double post is a bit blegh, but I have managed to create the collisionless Hovercraft engine! It works the exact same as the standard one, but it no longer blocks the base of the robot. This will mean that drones are more vulnerable to attack from vertical spinners.

Another Update:
The Hovercraft engine is now invisible and weighs only 0.1KGs for better drone building. The BFE ruling is gone, but the drones cannot be lower than 0.1 in the botlab. They must also have faux-rotors to signify an IRL dronebot.

Nice! Is there a download link for it? I might throw together a SHW entry with a drone.
Title: Re: Another DemonOfTomorrow IRL Tournament - Discussion
Post by: doot on March 29, 2017, 02:48:01 PM
You don't need to download it. Just make sure that the drone weighs a maximum of 189.9KGs and you should be good.

I'm with F1. I've got my 4 lower weight bots done, maybe drones will help me be creative with the larger 3.

I'm just glad you aren't banning bots that you'll struggle to AI.
Be prepared.  Once you go into sign-ups, you'll have a hell of a time.

Robots robots robots robots roboooooooooooots~
Mazakari (All Weightclasses)

With Mazakari's contribution, this means that we have our first weightclass to hit 16 entrants, and those are... The Heavyweights!

There are unlimited spots, however, so you can still send me HW's if ya so wish.

EDIT: even more robots c:
Pressure (MW, CW and HW)
Pressure (LW Only) (Rejected due to illegal CB2 parts)

The middleweight class has now hit 16 entrants! That makes it 2 out of 7 weightclasses to hit the 16 minimum!

Robot Now Legal and an Update:

The overall amount of robots is at 99 - 1 off the century! Also, 5 weightclasses still need the minimum 16 robots!

Robots that I have now:
Badger (HW Only)

I don't really know if I do want to enter more weight divisions. I mean, I have a Middle-weight in the works, but it isn't ready and I'm unsure about entering it. But I'll see what I can do in the other weight divisions if you wish DOOT, while I work on some other bots.

There's no deadline so you've got time to work on the middleweight! Entering the other divisions helps the tournament progress quicker and hey, it's for fun! My AW is pathetic but I'm looking forward to seeing it fight! I'd love to see what you would make for the other weight classes too.  :smile:

right hopefully you will get the message, not getting my hopes up though as it started as a standard build and i tried my best to make it an irl bot but as i said started as standard, even had to drop the armor down to make weight room for the extenders lol. hope it was worth all the effort

(oh wait nvm i think i know how to do it)
Go to the "Robot Designs" section of your RA2 folder, find the .bot file with your bot's name on it, use the GTM File Host (link: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?page=file_host) to make it a link, and then send your entry (file link) to DemonOfTomorrow via PM (Private Message).

hurry up and tell me, i still got 5 hours to rebuild it from scratch if i bloody have to, im entering this tournament even if it kills me
(im new to this irl thing so the least you could do is explain how im supposed to build it "irl")
its the 2 perm motrs outside the chassis isn't it? i'll tweak them to be inside then resend again and to be clear this is a remake of a bot i saw on a little youtube series that was hosted after robot wars was taken off the air called lego robot wars (they built little radio controlled lego bots and made them fight) and whiplash was one of the most destructive and amusing bots on there, so from what i've hear irl is about a good show and let me tell you this thing is great for that aspect lol. i will keep sending as many times as it takes to get it in because i want mayhem

My advice would be to create a showcase and post screenshots of your robots there, so people can give you feedback on them and help you improve. Take a look at other people's DSL showcases as well and see what they're doing, it'll help you understand what DSL-IRL robots are meant to look like.

Having your motors outside of the chassis isn't necessarily un-IRL, but it's really not recommended either because it makes them vulnerable to getting damaged or knocked off. So try and move them inside the chassis if you can, and also make sure that the weapon itself is supported and doesn't just look like it's floating in mid-air.

So I got this picture from Demon of Tomorrow (or Doot for short) and here's the issues I see:
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/295666492379365376/323481445576474625/unknown.png)

1: The bars on the inside of the axles facing inwards towards the middle will cut straight through the perm, which is unrealistic and not IRL.

2: You only have the reinforced perm metal holding the axle. That wouldn't be enough in real life. Put a couple of extenders jsut next to the other side of the bar to give it support.

3: There's not enough support for the external perm. Either use armor panels to make a sort of box around them or use the chassis to keep them internal, kind of like Heavy Metal Noise: http://battlebots.wikia.com/wiki/Heavy_Metal_Noise

Look, I know you are asking for help on making your bot more IRL Herp. But shouldn't you be making a showcase topic for your bots instead of posting them on an tournament board? There's no harm in asking for help Herpderp, but like when you posted in the tournament discussion board, this isn't really the thread to post in Herp like if you make one bad post in a chat room that's on a different topic. So just listen to F1Krazy and please try and use the showcase section to post your bot and asking for help in the future. You're getting the help here but not only you can get more help from people, it stays on topic of asking for advice about your builds.
Edit: Oh wait, you did make a showcase.

Final load of robots, mate! :3
Accepted:
Thyrus (AW, BW, LW, MW and SHW)
cephalopod (AW, BW, LW, MW, CW and SHW)
Asbestosstar (MW Only)
Herpaderp64 (HW Only)
Mr. AS (SHW Only)

Rejected:
Herpaderp64 (MW is still not IRL)

And as of this message, the signups have now CLOSED.

Two hundred and twenty three entries.

I never thought it was even possible to get that amount of robots into a single IRL tournament, but the wonderful people of GTM have clearly proven me wrong here. I owe my thanks to all of you for making this as massive a tournament as it can be.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I am off to AI all of these robots myself. Should be a hellaton of fun!

Shoot, I should of enter more Robots before the deadline after feeling a little bad for myself for not contributing that much. But knowing I have exams and not being able to build DSL-IRL that well, I had to put focus somewhere else. Still even when it's just the one bot, it will still be fun to see how this all turns out in the end. In the meantime, I'll be keeping some of my other bots for a future IRL Tournament. But have fun Demon, AIing all these bots and getting this tournament ready.
Have an idea on the arena yet Demon?

Hello! Just updating quickly that I haven't left this tournament for dead - just mentioning that I still have a bit more progress to go before the SBV finally goes live.

For now, some updates:
Robots all ready to go:
All Antweights
All Beetleweights
All the people who gave me AI lines (thanks <3)

The Splashes and brackets are almost fully prepared, so stay tuned, peoples! :3

Post by: doot on July 04, 2017, 06:03:49 PM
Still got some ways to go before this tournament finally kicks off. Just updating so that it doesn't look like I've been a lazy dickhead with the tournament.

Robots ready to go:
All Lightweights
All Middleweights (Except Cling - still having slight probs atm)
All Cruiserweights
All Heavyweights
RedAce's SHW, Chanticleer 2 (testing Mortis.py and it works ;P)

Off the top of my head, I still have 25 days left. Hopefully that'll be enough time to get this tournament off to the SBV.

More updates:
Robots ready to go:
All Superheavyweights

I might as well get on preparing the SBV in the next day considering how little time I have left. How do expansions to the time limit work again? ;P

You ask nicely with reasoning why you should get an extension. Considering the scale of this tournament and your track record, I'm sure you'll get an extension.
