Don't worry, Sunday Night Showdown will be happening...after OW5! But for now...
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
GENERAL RULES:
- Idea behind this tournament is that the builders that take part aren't revealed TILL THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT. Trying this out for an experiment.
- 16 bot tournament (ideally new builds, maybe 32 depending on how much interest there is.) Single knock-out tournament.
- RoboGames Arena for a change of pace!
- Supplying your own AI is appreciated but not required
BUILDING RULES: (basically OW5 rules)
Weapon Limits:
Spinners:
- VERTS: 2 large teeth (15-24kgs) ex: Large Typhoon, Ripping Teeth, Large Nightmare, etc OR 4 small teeth (7-14kgs) ex: Small Typhoons, Cutting Teeth, Heavy DS Teeth, etc OR 6 Small/Medium/Large Beaters.
- HORIZONTALS: 2 large teeth (15-24kgs) ex: Large Typhoon, Ripping Teeth, Large Nightmare, etc OR 4 small teeth (7-14kgs) ex: Small Typhoons, Cutting Teeth, Heavy DS Teeth, etc OR 6 Small/Medium/Large Beaters.
- WEDGELESS DRUMS ONLY: Can use up to 10 Small, 8 Medium or 8 Large Beaters. Other teeth types would not be allowed on these bots. Yes, this also means wedgeless drums have more DP allowed than other spinners.
- Mechavore/Minion discs of both sizes banned.
- Maximum allowed weapon weight of 100kgs for non-cosmetic damaging weapons allowed on a bot (including dsl bars). This does NOT include your weapon setup (disks, extenders, etc).
- 2400 max dp allowed.
- Use basic common sense if mixing weapons (ex: 4 small typhoons and 2 larges is not allowed)
- TO CLARIFY A WEDGELESS DRUM: robots like DID and Roka are wedgeless drums(eggbeater in Roka’s case) whereas something like Phantom is more of a drum vert. If you look at real examples, Magnetar is a wedged drum while Tornado/Sabretooth are wedgeless.
----------------------
Axes/Hammers/Clamps:
-These robot types struggle as it is, therefore just don’t take the piss with them. (Example, 5 burst axe bot or sticking everything you can on one axe).
----------------------
Burst limits:
-Front/Rear hinge:
1 Beta Burst/Motor, 2 VDMA R/P Bursts/VDMA Front Hinged/Storm Burst/Mag Snappers
-Top Hinge:
Max of 1 long pneumatic, or 2 short pneumatics
-------------------
cheatbot2:
- Flatmotors allowed ONLY on wedgeless drums and overhead saws. VS/wedged gutrippers that use drums do not count. ex: (DiD, Maxtox count as drums, things like Phantom and Duper Scooper count as VS). Not allowed as drive motors, max of two flat motors per bot
- Overkill motors are the ONLY other CB2 part legal for OW5.
---------------------------
Other:
- Damaging weapons on the front of rammers/wammers are banned. However, things like Nogoodnik’s spiked wheels are legal.
- All DSL 2.2 IRL edition armors allowed
- Skirts only allowed on dustpans with proper support
- Free hinges/axles are banned for wedges/wedgelets. These are allowed for details like Rat King’s tail/Purin’s headband however!
- Ant Blades are banned for all bot types.
- No EternalFlame.py or logic.
- No servos UNLESS you can AI it yourself then feel free to send me the servo bot with the AI.
- No meltybrains.
- Clusterbots are allowed: they must strictly be Middleweights. No minibot nonsense. 50/50 split.
- No weapon spam or stacking. I won’t limit parts but I will be clamping down on robots I think are pushing it. I won’t be lenient.
- No excessive extender spamming/stacking (Extenderbots are allowed of course but if you use extenders to armour your bot….just use the armour panels!)
Last note: if you do enter...DO NOT TELL OTHERS/SHOW YOUR ENTRIES, it goes against the point of this tournament.
wtf whatami's bot is actually good
ggs. I didn't expect to get as far as I did with a super unstable overhead, especially in the robogames arena
Got my sh** kicked in as expected, GG 8Bean
Great tournament Orc, really fun to build for it
