[DSL-IRL MW] Light vs Dark 2 - SIGNUPS

[Mr. AS]

BUILDING RULES
-DSL IRL MW. I will be very strict on what is "IRL" or not. Extreme vetting, folks.
-I will be using the DSL 2.2 Weapon Rebalance Patch for this tournament. Any weapons that are removed from CB2 by this patch are 100% fair game.
   -Otherwise, robots using cheatbot2 will be accepted/rejected on a case-by-case basis.
   -Generally, as long as you're not just abusing stronger CB2 variants of existing non-CB2 components, you should be fine.
-You may either enter 2 robots to form your own pair, or enter 1 robot to make a pair with another person. No total limit on how many people can enter.
-Any sort of glitch or outside editing of your robot is fair game, so long as it's IRL.
   -This includes (but is not limited to) BFE, OBJRA2 and CF
-Due to the nature of the tournament, multibots are not allowed.
-No custom components, with the exception of strictly aesthetic edits, such as DSC's color pack.
-Your bot must show some sort of controlled movement. I will be testing for this, but I am generally lenient about it.
-Failing the controlled movement test will result in any infringing entries being rejected, you must replace your entry with something more stable/controlled.
-Smartzones do not count as weight if it pushes your robot above the weight limit. I will be using smartzones that weigh 0.1kg.
-Once accepted, you are allowed to update/change your bot(s) once and only once.
   -Updates can be anything from changing a weapon to sending a different bot entirely.
-Of course, sending a second bot, or replacing an invalid bot doesn't count as an update. If you explicitly say that you want a sent bot to replace another valid bot you sent, that IS a update.
-Any obvious attempts to counteract or otherwise exploit a loophole in the rules will be automatically DQ'd.
-I reserve the right to reject extremely low effort robots. Example.
-I will enter only if there's an odd number of pairs. My entries will be:

-While you are not required to AI your bots, I highly recommend it to speed up the pre-SBV process on my end. I would really appreciate it!

MATCH RULES
-All of the people who entered will be inserted into a poll, and it will be voted on to determine the captains of 2 teams.
   -I will not be in the poll, to prevent any conflict-of-interest from arising.
-The poll will last for about a week at most. I may extend the poll if it's close, or cut it off early if it's a complete landslide.
-The teams of each captain will fight, and the winner will get first pick for drafting their team. Two pairs are chosen at a time by each captain taking turns until all the bots are allocated onto a team.
-Before each round, the captains will take turns choosing which pairs of bots they want fighting, in order from least wanted to most wanted.
   -Captain A chooses half of their roster, captain B chooses their entire roster, and then captain A chooses the second half of their roster.
-Arena will be this:

The wall in the center will lower when a robot is defeated.

-No time limit whatsoever, this ensures that every match ends in either a knockout or immobility.
-During each match, once a robot is defeated, it's out of the tournament. If one robot on a team is defeated and the other isn't, the surviving robot will fight by itself.

HAVOK RULES
-Occasional, minor havok is counted as controlled movement as long as it is not constant (i.e. you cannot turn without going airborne).
-If your bot is suspected of causing a game-altering havok, the match will be restarted once. If it happens again during the match, the offending bot will forfeit the match, no exceptions.

Well, HW means a re-entry/flipper fest, and CW isn't happening any time soon.

[Thyrus]

I'll enter if I can come up with a MW

[Jammy Dodger]

i'll enter something MIGHT be a boring easy to kill extender bot you never know :)

[Dark-Al]

I'll think of something for this tournament with something for this tournament. No, it will not be Hell Spawn 2, but something else.

-Arena will probably be this:

Anyway, nice area concept art Mr. As. But will it have pockets for OOTA flips by any chance? It looks like it but I just want to double check.

[kix]

MW... Uhh.. nope..

The easiest way to stop flippers from running rough shot is to manage this tournament in stock.

[Baconus_Yum]

I'll do something.

[Badnik96]

[NeonCalypso]

Remember that you can rip off this tournament.

[F1Krazy]

I'll enter something that doesn't have T W O M O R O S B L A D E S this time

_{not that it helped me the first time but whatever}

So about the captain's choice: if they choose their order list of robots that they want to fight, doesn't that just mean it's blind luck on what robot match-ups happen with no way to switch strategies? If you did something where each round the captains choose 2/1 robots that they want to send to fight, it would add a little bit more strategy.

Also, doing a sort of draft system where each captain picked a robot from the line up in turn might be cool and prevent unbalanced (nobody on team dark has wedges ffs why) teams.

[Jammy Dodger]

probably best we don't captain this time and just have tag teams :^)

Implying it wasn't random luck anyway. And drafting is a retarded idea, the entire point is that you choose your team, and can theme your bot to match your team.
