1-Shot Showdown [Sign-ups ended]

[Gulden]

Rules:

DSL standard + DSC's IRL packs
MW
12 to 32 entrants
2 entries per person.
Gimmick: The robot's armor must have Plastic 1 armor and all components on the outside of the robot must have 2,700 or less HP.
(Just for clarity, 2,700 per component.  Not all at once)
Swiss army bots: Allowed
Rule of 7 break: Allowed
BFE: Disallowed
CF is allowed, but no components should intersect.
All bots must have at least 2 wheel drive
Cluster bots: Disallowed
Cheatbot: Disallowed
Casters cannot be mounted directly to the chassis.
If a match is decided on a havok explosion, I'll restart until a clean victory is found.
Judging will be based on damage, control, and aggression.  Wedging does count toward aggression.

Arena:

To ensure maximum destruction, I decided to go with a more destructive arena.
And what better arena is there for destruction, than the Blade arena!?

Tournament rules:

When received, a robot will be given a score based on its damage potential.
After the qualifying round, they will be given another score based on how well they did in their match.
The 2 scores are then combined and compared to each other to determine both the seeding and wildcards.
In the case we get exactly 16 or 32 competitors, seeding will be done on damage potential alone.

12-14 entrants: The bots will be randomly drawn with each other, then losers will be given wildcards until we have a field of 8, afterwards, it's single elimination.
15-16 entrants: Double elimination.
17-30 entrants: Same as 12-14 but with a field of 16 instead.
31-32 entrants: Double elimination all the way.

My entries:

Exposed wiring!

Dirt 2!


Just forget the DP on these splashes for now.

Bye bot:

Giganitblade 2!

Is that 2700hp per component or 2700hp overall?

[Gulden]

Per component.

It's okay lol, It just seems like there is so many of those lately

[Badger]

I agree with mechadino, especially as you're putting a competitive gimmick on an IRL tournament. IRL isn't about efficiency or competition.

[Gulden]

You guys make a good case.  I'll poll it.

[Thyrus]

Hur dur... to many IRL tourney
Half a year later it's hur dur too many stock/ironforge/retooled/downgrade/whaterver tourneys.

[F1Krazy]

This looks like fun. I'd probably enter it whichever way the poll goes.

[cephalopod]

Competitive gimmick + irl =
Definitely an idea that needs to be carried out in a meta intended to be competitive.

[Baconus_Yum]

My idea is already thought of.  By the way, I have 2 questions:

1. Is external armor allowed?

2. Is there a weight limit?

[F1Krazy]

1. Is external armor allowed?

2. Is there a weight limit?

1. I would assume so, as long as none of the pieces have more than 2,700 HP.

2. It says MW in the rules, so yes.

I have a question of my own, actually:

all components on the outside of the robot must have 2,700 or less HP.

Does that mean internal components can have more HP? I don't suppose it would matter that much, other than allowing you a wider choice of motors. Actually, would components that stick out of the chassis (like Perms) count as external?

[cephalopod]

Any component mounted directly to the chassis is invincible and cannot be knocked off so I'd assume that's why all inside the chassis are exempt.

[Baconus_Yum]

Waiting for signups now, expect Viking War Calls.

[Gulden]

Alright, it's a standard tournament, now.
The original poll is back in.

[Baconus_Yum]

ETA on signups?

[Gulden]

ETA on signups?

Whenever I hit 16 "Yup" votes on the poll.
_{So I'm expecting 3 weeks...}

Ban attatching halfsheets and casters directly to the chassis if you haven't already.

Also clarify what you mean by "CF and BFE" allowed since this isn't an IRL tourney. ( You really shouldn't be allowing cheatbot2 then too)

Halfsheets stick out of the chassis and have more than the given hp amount, so saying that is kinda pointless.  They're banned by the actual ruling.
However the point on casters makes sense.

Also edited for a little more clarity like you said.
