I'm thinking about planning to start the new tournament for the 10th anniversary of the game, it's basically the same as the one I didn't get to finish due to losing all the stuff on the computer I was using back then. Here are the rules:
*Stock.
*AW, BW, LW, MW and HW.
*Multi-bots (2 clusters maximum per multi-bot) are allowed.
*Hybrids are allowed as long as you haven't used any of the hybrid's weapon setups on another bot.
*Multi-bots can use different weapon setups as long as you haven't used them on any other bot.
*No Nasty Pickles, Bumble bots, Trinity Flyers, Crawlers or any other cheap robots.
*Robots must show controlled movement and have at least 2 wheel drive.
*Standard in-game glitches (such as axle loading) allowed.
*No AAM, Hax mode, Trov glitch, BFE or any other nonsense.
*No new uberstack glitch.
*No Cheatbot2.
*AI parts are allowed but...
*No 140cm extender.
*No trying to find loopholes, you should know what "Stock" means.
*Best 3 out of 5 rounds using all 5 entries (1 bot per round starting with AW and HW going last).
*Double Elimination.
*I will restart matches due to match-altering glitches only.
*Robots that cause 2 glitches will be eliminated and given the loss.
*All matches will take place in the (possibly re-skinned) combat arena.
*All matches will be 3 minutes in length.
*I can AI all basic bots, anything odd will require you to AI it yourself.
*32 entries max.
*Every weight class on your team must use a different BASIC robot type from this list (no flail SnS and normal SnS on the same team):
1. Rammer
2. Hammer
3. Popup
4. Horizontal spinner
5. Vertical spinner
6. Face spinner
7. Poker
8. Flipper
9. SnSer
10. Side hammer
11. Juggler
12. Drum
AW variations, these are allowed in addition to the above basic types for AW's only to provide some more variation:
*Axle HS
*Axle VS
*Axle FS
*Axle Drill
*Axle Popup
*Flail/inertia bots.
NOTE: This tournament will have it's AI pack released as "GTM AI" that we can build upon with teams from other members, as sort of the official AI pack for the community.

I will be entering with this team:

jeebus, 5 bots from 32 people, thats going to be alot of matches. i'd probably send something (assuming this is stock), but idk how many other people will
-
Gosh, I can't build stock! Oh well...
-

Instead of 3 rounds per bot this is 1 round per bot so it won't be too bad, the bad thing is AI'ing 180 bots lol. That being said I doubt I'll get 32 entries.
-
Seems like around 16 people are interested so far.
-
i will do this just i will fail
-
What about hybrid bots...? Heavy HSes distinguished from Lite HSes...? Tribar vs. Disk VSes...? Wammers...? Robots with chained motors....? These are all very different classifications.
-
Forgot to write that up:
*Hybrids are allowed as long as you haven't used any of the hybrid's weapon setups on another bot. (This basically cuts out people using the same type of weapon for all their bots.)
*Multi-bots can use different weapon setups as long as you haven't used them on any other bot.
-
Okay well then this is stupid if you have 5 different weight classes and can't even reuse one weapon type on a hybrid bot. Way too complex of a format and not enough bases covered. You are aiming for a variety of submissions from people, but with the way this is set up everything will look quite the same.
-

By "basic" I don't mean you have to build that basic type in it's "pure" form, you can make any HS, VS, FS, rammer/wammer etc. that you want.

I think there's enough variation there, I just don't want teams to have more then 1 of the same bot type. The point of this is to see who makes the best of a variety of different bots and weights.
I doubt we will see many of the same bots because people have to select which weight they have each type, I'm still trying to figure out my team setup before I start building.
-
Isn't much of an all round building contest when it doesn't feature DSL. Still, seems fun, but I suck at stock and don't have the time to make 5 decent bots in it
-
OK we'll see when I send you my submissions
-

Perhaps someone else can host that one sometime, I don't play DSL as much as stock.
-
This is ready to go, I won't be entering.
-
put a greencheck in the topic icon

put a greencheck in the topic icon
Yup, just saying that's why my entries weren't shown.
-
Drum was added to the list of bot types. I might still enter, just need to fix up some bots and post pics.
-
Ready for signups, here's my team:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30215Entries.jpg)
My AW-LW bots will have to carry my team ^.^
-
I should also mention that the new uberstack glitch won't be allowed.
-
I should also mention that the new uberstack glitch won't be allowed.
What is the uberstack glitch?
-
I should also mention that the new uberstack glitch won't be allowed.
you mean stacking a nifty into a ztek? because thats just regular stacking
-
I should also mention that the new uberstack glitch won't be allowed.

Yes that one, I think we already have enough tournament legal stacks.
-

You might as well go and write out a list of stacks you find "legal" then lol
-
I think we already have enough tournament legal stacks.
what
-
Don't go making things difficult, it's forbidden in this tournament. I have listed the legal stacks, basic snapper/axle loading etc. no niftytek stacking.
-
I clicked yes, then saw the stupid 2WD rule, and want to say no now. All my best bots except HW use less than 2WD...
-

The Niftytek stack uses basic Axle loading to get the Z-tek's annoying Axle collision mesh out of the way which then allows you to stack things in it, but oh well, it's your tourney and you get to make the rules.
-
Would people like all entries to be added to the Ultimate Stock AI so they can battle with bots from INFAI, Re-stocked, PYS AI, BBEANS, Starcore and Stock Mini's or just be it's own GTM AI that we can build upon with teams from other members?
-
I think, that the bots in this tournament must be in a separate AI pack.
Also, I'll enter, after all, (except the BBEANS once) the only tournament I ever entered was yours Robo Zone 1 :rolleyes:
Also, do You realize, that when I send You my bots (which will be very soon) You can't change your entry.
I'm highly counting on You for preventing the "new uberstacking of huge components" to happen.

I'm highly counting on You for preventing the "new uberstacking of huge components" to happen.
The reason I ask is because I will add the teams to the Ultimate Stock AI and if it was it's own AI pack I have to go through and renumber the team folder numbers and the team numbers in teams.txt and add the bindings.
Yep I know that rule.
I'm sure I won't be the only host who won't allow the new uberstack in their tournaments.
-
Signups are now open!
-
I'm keen to start work on this as soon as possible guys, the sooner you enter will mean that your team is placed higher in the AI pack.
-
I might do something for this but I hate sub-light categories
-
Will rebuild and enter my old team.....but Dust Devil is totally going to look like Ideal Tyrant lol
-
Shame I don't have my old bots anymore... Gotta move to the drawing board.
-
May or may not make something/repaint things and enter them
-
for my mw: if i have a giant ramming rack, and then have a snapper2 with like 2 razors on it; does that count as a hammer?
-
for my mw: if i have a giant ramming rack, and then have a snapper2 with like 2 razors on it; does that count as a hammer?
Does it fire? if it does then it's a hammer/rammer hybrid, if not then it's fine.

why wouldnt it fire? i was just wondering if i make it a hammer if it would count as both a hammer and a rammer (using up two types on your allowed types list) or if it would just count as one.

I thought you were using it to stack the extra razors.
Yep it uses up 2 types.
-
I'll be putting a deadline on this soon, would love to start getting some entries (haven't got any except my own) so I can start work on AI'ing the teams. Don't forget the sooner you send your team the higher on the teams list it will be in the AI pack.
-
I have a few of my bots built and skinned... I think I just need to build a new LW and skin a couple more.
-
My team is ready at 100%. I just wait for some other people to send their teams (besides me and Ianh) and then I will send mine.
-
My team is ready at 100%. I just wait for some other people to send their teams (besides me and Ianh) and then I will send mine.
Why is that? Do you not want to appear second on the GTM AI Pack or are you worried that I'll being updating the splash because of my protesting against showing entries?
I would love to get teams spread out over a long period instead of all at once so I have enough time to AI each team without to much work being put on my all at once and I don't want to rush this as people are entering 5 bots each so more time will be needed.
So if your team is ready please submit it so I can start working on the teams splash and AI.
-
I think, that any of the bots can be shown in any way ONLY after the signups are closed. Show any of the bots (except yours of course) early and You will gain me as a mortal enemy and rage hater.
I understand that it's good to have the bots spreaded in time.
First of all, You know that the first senders always are screwed up in many aspects (me in BBEANS for example).
My doubts to sending them are, that I have doubts that You will get even 8 (even any entrants at all, exept me and You), and in this case I will just leaked mine bots for nothing.
-
Don't worry, I'm not going to be breaking any hosting rules.
Results of the poll say I should get at least 16 teams (which is what I'm aiming for so I can make the AI pack). So I don't think there will be a problem, as soon as I start getting entries things should pick up as more people will see who is entering and how many people are entering. Got to start somewhere :) perhaps I should list names of people who are entering then change text colour when I receive their team.
-
OK, I will send them VERY soon, but :
1. Since all my 5 bots are thematically skinned, I made also a team pic for them on the same thematic. I want that pic to be used for my team whenever possible.
2. After I send You my bots, and let's say You didn't get enough entrants to start the tournament, You delete my bots from your hard drive permanently and not using them in any pack or for anything, or even worse, giving any of them to someone else. Consider yourself 2 feets underground if you do this. I'm not agree to give them for an AI pack, if the tournament never happen!
3. You have to promise, that the first entrants won't have any disadvantages in the tournament later.
-
You have my word, none of that is a problem.

Your "word" is enough for me for now. Expect a PM with a link and details soon.
I think, that the order in the AI pack, must follow the real sending order, not the one You specified in the first post.

I'm sure a lot of other people want to see this get started too, they are probably just working on their team.
Indeed the order will be based on when I receive them as I will be AI'ing them as I get them in.

Added to the OP:

Sylandro's tournament is getting more entries :rage
-
i have all my bots bar MW already chosen, but atm ive hit what is probably my first real builders block, but i will get my entries in atleast by the end of this week at the latest.
-

I clicked yes, then saw the stupid 2WD rule, and want to say no now. All my best bots except HW use less than 2WD...
My post still stands, unless I find some random motivation.

My team is sent. Ianh can't change his anymore.

Received and accepted. OP is updated.
I should also point out that if you want to name your team and have a custom team pic be sure to send all info with your bots otherwise I will just give your team a generic team pic and the team will be named "Team (insert forum name here)".

You've all had 10 days to prepare for a due date so don't complain if it's not long enough. Roughly 25 days is more then enough to build the bots you needed to enter or even to build your full team.
Entries due in:
Time expired!
-
Still only the 2 teams so far with 11 and a half days to go. The sooner I can start AI'ing the bots the better, so I don't just have 1 giant work load when the signups close.
Time expired!
-
This might be a stupid question, but...
If you enter, do you have to build a bot for every weight class?
I couldn't see anything in the rules about it and I've never built anything below lightweight before.
Thanks. :-)
-
*Stock.
*AW, BW, LW, MW and HW.
*Best 3 out of 5 rounds using all 5 entries (1 bot per round starting with AW and HW going last).
*Every weight class on your team must use a different BASIC robot type from this list (no flail SnS and normal SnS on the same team):
I will be entering with this team:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30215Entries.jpg)
Yep, you have to build 1 of each weight class listed and each bot needs to have a different type of weapon from the ones listed in the OP.
-
May have to have a go then. We'll see.
-
Just need an AW and BW bleh.
-
Make one a generic rammer or SnS?
-
nope, the 5 bots have to use different types of weapon setups not just different AI.
-
090901's team received and accepted.
-
Lightning S.'s team received and accepted.
-
All 4 teams are AI'd, ready to go and the entries splash + individual team splashes are done.
Awaiting more teams now, a steady flow between now and the deadline would be awesome :mrgreen: .
-
FINALLY built my mw. just need to tweak it so the wedges dont suck and my team will be ready to go :thumbup
-
I should point out, if you don't send a team pic I will be using the default one in that AI slot so 090901 get's the Texas style pic and Lightning S. scores the awesome Team Dragon pic.
EDIT: LOL forgot to make the AW matches 2 minutes, I'd probably forget to change the time between matches and end up having everything 2 minutes :P Let's hope they aren't too boring for that last minute and we see many KO's or TKO's before then.
-
Time expired! Would love to receive at least 3 more teams today.
-
my life is in shambles idk if im gonna make it
edit: actually jk my team is done it just isnt skinned.
-
Seems like Mr.AS and Kill are almost ready to submit their teams which will bring us to 6 total, we will still need another 10. Anyone else almost ready to submit their team? Signups are closing in about 3 and a half days.
It'll be disappointing to not reach 16 teams considering 26 people showed interest.
-
I will enter, just working on my team veeeeery slowly. It's getting there.
-
I will try to build a team for this one
-
Time expired!
Still only 4 teams, need at least 16 teams to make the AI pack happen.
-
You're asking for 5 bots and have 4 teams. We need more time.
-
if you had allowed the 140cm extender i would have gotten in my bots at least a week ago
-
You've all had 10 days to prepare for a due date so don't complain if it's not long enough. Roughly 25 days is more then enough to build the bots you needed to enter or even to build your full team.
Do you guys need a full month?
-
I'm currently ill, luckily for you all because now you have an extra week or so :p
Countdown for entries:
Time expired!
-
I may possibly throw together a team of old stuff
edit: wait, why am I listed on the OP? I never sent anything for this. The AW I sent was for the AI pack only.

Because you showed interest in entering, names in green text are the entries I have received.
-
Ianh, be reasonable and aim for a 8 entrants.
Find a way to make your tournament and AI with 8 entrants only.
You can give the guys more time to enter too.

Sadly I need 16 teams for the GTM AI pack. I thought a build time of 5 days per bot would be enough time but I guess I was wrong.
People don't even need to build 5 new bots, people should be building anyway and there are 3 other stock tournaments in signups currently, 1 AW, 1 LW and 1 HW so most people should be building at least one of those already IMO.
Look at the Battlebots signups, loads of people have entered multiple bots already and one of the weights is SHW. I know it's IRL but it still requires people to build.
-
Stock is dead, the new DSL3 will not help much either.
Look at the stock showcases, no matter what innovative bot I made, still very few people shows interest.
The problem is not in the building time.
So, my predictions are, that You will never make it to a full basket for this one, sadly.
I really want this one to happen.
-
I'm hoping things pick up when people like INF enter. The original ARBBC got 19 teams but that was years ago and only required 3 bots (LW, MW, HW).
-
I'll probably prepare something around April 6 or so. I've got 3 exams and a project due within the next 3 days.
-
I'll have you my bots as soon as I build a new AW and BW
-
Mazakari's team received but 1 of the bots needs to change.
-
becoz i derped lol
-
Think I might fire up RA2 for another ass-whoopin'.
-
Mazakari's team now accepted.
-
I will most likely be holding bonus time-out battles between rounds depending on if I have enough time. I want to hold ultimate rumbles (just like the one in ACF but 16 entries this time) for each weight class with all bots from that weight class being given random entry numbers.
This will require a lot more effort, but hopefully with enough time and encouragement I will be able to squeeze them in.

We should hit 16 entries needed to get this started, could I get updates from those on the list please?
I don't want to extend the deadline any more, we have basically 0 tournaments running right now and it's been really slow for a while now. Let's get things moving again!
-
i'm going to send my bots in as soon as i get the bw done.
-
Ill get bots in by next week.
-
17 names now, seems like a lot of people are almost ready to submit their team.
Not sure if I mentioned this already but each team has 1 free slot in the AI pack, this will be for any good bot you wanted to submit but couldn't due to bot type/weight restrictions. You can submit ANYTHING you want within normal stock building rules (no cheatbot, 140cm, AAM etc. and no bumble balls or nasty pickles) 1 wheel drive bots, crawlers, SHW, UHW, FLW, FW... any of these are allowed in the free AI slot from your team!
-
Mr. AwesumSauce's team received and accepted.
-
Just so everything is clear a SnS can use spinning weapons, this does not make it a hybrid so you can have a HS and SnS with active weapons on the same team.
Also 4 days left guys.
-
probably a dumb question but are axle hs/rammers and regular hs/rammers allowed on the same team?
-
Yes, but the additional axle variations are available only for AW's.
AW variations, these are allowed in addition to the above basic types for AW's only to provide some more variation:
*Axle HS
*Axle VS
*Axle FS
*Axle Drill
*Axle Popup
*Flail/inertia bots.
-
Haven't been paying much attention to this thread.
Do I send each bot on its own or do I send the team folder?
-
You can do either.
-
You can do either.
Alright, will send them in the morning.
-
So if I'm reading the rules right, the AW, BW, and LW bots are a lot more important than the MWs and HWs?
-
So if I'm reading the rules right, the AW, BW, and LW bots are a lot more important than the MWs and HWs?
What? I thought they all are equally important, right Ianh?

The matches are out of 5 battles, so if you win 3 straight matches only your AW, BW, and LW will be used.
-
Quotes from the rules, please!

Quotes from the rules, please!
*Best 3 out of 5 rounds using all 5 entries (1 bot per round starting with AW and HW going last).
There. It will go AW, BW, LW, MW, HW, so if you win three in a row, the last two won't matter.
-
They are all important, it's a best of 5 with the 5 most common weight classes. If you can win the 3 first rounds then yes you have won the match however if things are tight then your last 2 bots are the most important members of the team.
I'm sure most people here would rather have a HW match be the decider instead of an AW match anyway. This is to see who is the best at builder each weight class and different bot types.
-
Virus Bomb's team received and accepted.
-
Had to update my LW because I derped I didn't realise the irons could be classified as a wammer weapon and my HW is a rammer -.-
Here's the new pic:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8278Ian's Robotic Ant Farm.jpg)
LW is now even more terrible then it was before :P
-
wait wat
are you serious
you could've just used the irons for holding the bot in place
or protecting the chassis
or you know, just ditch the rammer hybrid thing, because by your definition i can place a mace on an anchor to protect a motor and that already counts as a rammer
-
They weren't really ramming weapons because the bot is too slow anyway, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the cheat zone. You can protect a motor with an ice pick as long as it isn't faced out like it would be on a rammer.
2 days left.
-
So I can use maces and razors to protect the chassis rather than casters and it wouldn't be a rammer because the bot is too slow to ram?
-
Nah, the way the irons were on my LW meant they really weren't doing much more then holding a bot in place as the bot was to slow to wedge the opposition up into them at a decent enough speed to deal damage. The razor you had was doing plenty of damage because it was faced directly out and could easily hit the opposition.
Anything that is at an angle and in a position to do damage counts as a rammer. Hope this clears things up, this is why I changed my LW's setup because it's better to be safe then sorry.
-
Kurt Wylde's team received and accepted.
8 spots and less then 2 days left to get started.
-
Ill try and put an entry together tonight and get in on this. Although ill have to look at AIing again because i've forgotten how to do it.
-
I can AI if you want (I've had to for most teams so far) you only need to AI it yourself if it's a strange AI.
-
Fracture's team received and accepted.
-
Sounds good to me I'll leave the simple ones to you and AI the unique ones myself. I already finished one entry and will do the other 4 after work tonight. Should make the deadline with a lil time to spare.
-
1 day left guys, let's get those entries in so we can start this up.
-
GameKing3's team received, just awaiting one change.
-
Yo Ian can you give me an extra 2 days to get my bots in please
-
Depends if I get the 5 teams I need before then, if I don't then I will be extending the period for 2-3 days only. I want to start this as soon as possible.
Squirrel_Monkey's team received and accepted.
-
GameKing3's team now accepted.
-
2 hours left guys, I don't want to delay this any more. I might just throw together a bye team (with a difference) to fill up the brackets so I only need 4 more teams.
-
30 minutes left!

5 bots, 1 month... an average of 6 days to build each bot. This has been plenty of time, I'm tired of waiting so what do you guys want me to do? scrap this whole thing? Throw together Starcore, Clickbeetle and Firebeetle bye teams? Screw the GTM AI Pack all together and just host the tourney with the teams I have now?
20 names and roughly half couldn't make the deadline, I'm stumped.
-
You could host the tourney as is and then accept the other bots from the people that weren't able to make the deadline for the AI pack. I'm not really sure exactly where you want to go from here. Its a tough call inevitably its your call because your the host and your running the show here. Its your AI pack and your tournament. There's options here man just don't get down about it, of course I don't want to see this go down the drain your already halfway there you just gotta be push through.
-
I just feel like maybe it's unfair for others who have submitted teams already, they got their teams in before the deadline and maybe rushed out some bots so why should others get more time? Some people had very little left to do but still didn't make it in time.
I know most people have LW's, MW's and HW's already so it's not like I was asking you to build an entire team if you didn't have enough time to make 5 bots. Venko and a few others managed to get a team in within the first week so surely a month is plenty of time.
The AI pack wasn't my AI pack, it was going to be the official GTM AI pack where people could upgrade/change their bots/team and we could even add more teams. This has been something the community has wanted for years now but now there's a way to make it happen people seem not to care enough to get their teams in.
-
You gotta stay positive man. Good things take time to create. I know that they were given ample amounts of time, but people get busy and they forget. It will be great once it's finished I dont want to see it go down the drain.
-
Time expired!
This is the last extension period so hurry up and get your teams in. Now tell me, who can get their team in by then? Is this going to be a waste of time?
GK3 I gave them plenty of notices by bumping this thread and updating the time remaining in the title + included a countdown in my signature so there's not much else I can do. It would have been nice to get updates from people instead of leaving me in the dark too.
-
Like I said its your tournament man your running the show. I hope it comes together, for what its worth.
-
i have work for the next 10 hrs but ill get it in tonight
-
Awesome, that'll get us to 14 teams with Pwn, Kill and RPJK so I will just need 1 or 2 more teams (will except any more I get until deadline).
-
I can get something done by around noon.

lol i just cant build a bw right now.
-
You can send me the rest of your team to AI if you can have the BW in tomorrow.
-
...Venko and a few others managed to get a team in within the first week...
Yeah, but not everyone is a very experienced stock builder with a thousands of bots. I can build a HW faster, than I can make his splash or skin, and I'm a very fast in Photoshop... [/boasting :mrgreen: ]
-
Just FYI, times not up lol still about 19 and a half hours to go.
-
I have a question. My BW is 175.3 kg. Is it acceptable?
-
I have a question. My BW is 175.3 kg. Is it acceptable?
No, because it has to be 175.0 or under.
-
Finally get my Redstone Robotics team done but i would like to send you my team s'bmp. file for the Image so it could fit the team s'theme can i do it ?
-
Ian do you have a copy of stratocaster on your computer because im using it but i cant load it on my laptop because it has a smartzone that i dont have. i could just send you everything else if you have it
-

BW is 175 and under only, or 175.1 with a smart zone.

You can use custom team pics, I encourage it seeing as this will become GTM AI.

That's fine, It's part of Ultimate Stock AI so I will just grab it from there and use those bindings.

Wolfsbane's team received needs 1 update though. Also Awaiting updates from Pwnator, Mystic2000, Kill343gs and Scrap Daddy.
Jonzu (and whoever else plans to join in) have about 6 and a half hours left to get their teams in.

2 hours left guys.

i'll be able to get you my bots by sunday evening but probably not earlier. I just have to build a new AW and a new BW, but I have 3 baseball games in the next 48hrs
-
if you dont get enough complete teams for your ai pack, maybe you could patch together a few incomplete teams to fill the gaps?
-
Jonzu, RPJK and INF have 2 extra days. Everyone with their names in red who need to update their teams should do so ASAP.
If you have some of your team ready send what you have now so I can AI them and work on the team/tournament splash.
I know this might seem unfair to people and we all want this tournament up and running ASAP but if I can get 3 more teams and everyone who needs to update their team does so we will have a 21 team AI pack instead of a 14-18 team AI pack.
Seeing as this is the 4th extension I think these late teams should face off in a latecomers team rumble where all the late teams face of in battle royal matches instead of 1v1 and the winner would go through to the main bracket. Thoughts? Too harsh?
-
kill343gs' team is received and accepted.
-
Thankyou Ian, Thankyou SO much. I will get my team done tonight, I promise.
-
Pwnator's and Wolfbane's teams now accepted. Waiting for 2 bots from both Mystic2000 and Scrap Daddy.
-

Which one i must redo ?
-
I sent you a PM the other day:
"A couple of problems:
1. Your BW is overweight, the limit is 175.
2. Your HW has 2 irons that could be seen as ramming weapons and your AW is also a rammer so you will need to replace or remove the irons on your HW."
-
All updates received so far are implemented. All bots I have so far are AI'd, team splashes are updated and tournament splash is updated.
-
Mystery team and RPJK's team received, will be checking them both a bit later. INF and Jonzu you both have about 21 hours left.
Still waiting for bots from Scrap Daddy and Mystic2000.
-
Just waiting for 7 bots/updates for received teams and waiting to see if INF/Jonzu or anyone else enters.
Can anyone confirm if this is the biggest stock tournament in RA2 history in terms of robots entered? I currently have 93 bots AI'd (will be at least 100 when the final updates/bots are received). Yes the tournament splash is quite large... > 5mb :dumb) .

But most of them were made by you.

I mean actual entries, from other members. Did you even finish the tournament?

Why yes of course. Badnik won with Mr. Brownstone and Thyrus was Second with Vertikiller 0.75
-
Jonzu's team received, just needs 1 update.
-
3 hours left! if I don't have a team from you before the deadline you will not be able to join.
-
About an hour left guys! I will give a little time to those who have sent me their full teams to update the bots they needed to. I need these before the deadline:
1. Scrap Daddy's AW and BW.
2. INF's full team.
These bots still need updating and will have 1-2 days after deadline to do so:
1. Mystic2000's BW and HW.
2. The mystery teams BW and HW.
3. RPJK's AW or MW.
4. Jonzu's HW.
-
Scrap Daddy's team received and accepted.
All updates must be in by this time tomorrow!
Update timer: (Time expired!)
-
RPJK's team and the mystery person's team are now accepted and ready to go.
Just need 3 more bot updates then we are ready to go! The splash will be up very quickly as every bot apart from the 3 needed are on it already.
