A Tournament with a Difference
« on: October 25, 2011, 01:55:31 PM »
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

Well, you got here eventually.
Welcome!
As for this, sure I'll take a punt when it comes around.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

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.

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.
