RULES
Game - DSL 2.2
Weight - Middleweight
Realistic Rule - DSL Standard
24, 32, or 48 entrants. (See battle rules.)
Two entry robots per person, may open this up to three per person if there is enough popularity.
If you can't AI I will do it for you, just don't complain about it if your robot doesn't win.
You can't enter until I have received and accepted your robot.
BUILDING RULES
If the game says it's a Middleweight then it's allowed.
Component Freedom is banned, but the Rule Of Seven Break is allowed.
Only in game glitches are allowed - eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
No external editing at all - BFE, AAM and so on.
Robots with tracks get no weight cushion.
No scuttlers, crawlers, walkers, or SNS robots.
Multibots are banned.
You can upgrade your robot or send a new one as much as you like until signups end.
Nothing from Cheatbot2, you know that.
You MAY NOT use more than one of the same component on your robot, this includes all batteries, wheels, weapons, everything.
This means that using 2 extenders of the same length IS NOT allowed, but using different lengths IS allowed.
The colourful extenders and armour plates from DSC's IRL Packs are not allowed for this tournament. However, I think he added some extra armour panels with the default materials, I am okay with you guys using those. (Carbon Fibre, Polycarbonate, Aluminium, Titanium, and Steel extenders/panels with the default textures are allowed, but the rainbow ones aren't.)
Spinning weapons must be made of more than one component, you can't just slap on something like a Mechavore Disc or an empty DSL bar and call it a day because they're already perfectly balanced, you've got to try and balance it yourself within the one of each component limit.
Thanks to Geese, the NPC motors have been fixed, and as such, will not count as three separate components. If you use a left NPC, you cannot use a right NPC for example. For the sake of simplicity, I highly recommend you download Geese's versions.
BATTLE RULES
3 minute fights.
Scrapheap Challenge Arena (Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament Arena with a totally boss skin.)
Hazards on.
If a robot havoks then I will restart the match. I will keep restarting until there is a havok-free match. Fights with havoks will not be shown.
Single elimination bracket, head to head, no rumbles or melees.
If we only get 24 entries (Like SC2 did.) then we'll have a Round Of 24, four wildcards, then single elimination, just like Battlebots 2015.
Once we have 24 entrants, there will be a final countdown of a few days in order to try and get 32 entrants, if there are less than 32 then we'll run with the 24.
Similarly, if I judge there to be significant interest, I'll open up third entries and the tournament will run with 48 entrants like Battlebots 2016.
Judging will be done by points scored during the match, as is custom for Standard tournaments.

MY ENTRIES

The plan is to run this is tandem with Masters Of Disaster 2 since I reckon I'll be able to get this completed while MOD2 is still in signups given how long it took last time. Also this is just a copy/paste of all the stuff from Scrapheap Challenge 2, so feel free to call me out on anything that doesn't make sense, because I might have missed something.
