All Round Bot Builder Championship (Sign-ups Closed!)

[ianh05]

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.

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.

[Venko]

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.

[ianh05]

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.

[Venko]

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.

[ianh05]

You have my word, none of that is a problem.

I really want this tournament to start. 
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:

"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."

Sylandro's tournament is getting more entries 

[Mr. AS]

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.

We have to build a ton for this chill

[Venko]

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

Lol I know :)

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)".

Team splash style for this tournament:

[ianh05]

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!

[ianh05]

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!
