Hello everyone, I'm new to GTM but have been making RA2 vids on Youtube for a while. I've joined GTM in order to host an unofficial tounament, called 'A Tournament with a Difference', the premise being that it is a tournament with a difference.

The tournament will be DSL HW, and held in the Robot Wars arena. The difference is there are already a number of robots that I have prebuilt. What I want you guys to do is place a bet on them, sweepstake style, first come, first served. Whoever choosed the bot that wins eventually will get a secret prize.

The fights will be best of 3, and each match will have 2 havok restarts before a disqualification. The bots will be posted in due course, so feel free to discuss and register interest.

Thanks, westisrocks

Thanks, youtube.

Just went to your Youtube and saw your vid on building a rammer and just fyi, you were having problems attaching the wheels because you minimized ra2. For some unknown reason it makes axles spin for no reason and makes things harder to attach.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2011, 04:33:48 PM »

I already pointed that out Scrap.
Anyways, what time period are we looking at (only roughly)

westisrocks · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2011, 05:06:24 PM »

well i'll post the vid of the participants either on friday or monday and then depending on how long it takes i'll start the tournament and it will probably last 2 and a bitweeks with probably either 1 or 2 battles a day because there will be 30 battles to go through. It will be group stages 4 groups of 4 top 2 go through and then its knock-outs.

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #17 on:** October 25, 2011, 05:14:56 PM »

I have seen your videos and I requested that one fight. So you may know me.

westisrocks · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2011, 05:23:55 PM »

Ofcourse I remember you will you be taking part?

MassimoV · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2011, 07:24:06 PM »

I'll bet with no consequences, awesome. Count me in.

Poll

Out of the 8 that are through who will win?
