we're back at it, but with some fairly substantial changes this time.
First off, the ranking system has had it's overall point impact reduced:
- Bots will then be placed into four different tiers based on their aesthetics
- Tier 1 will receive a three point bonus, tier 2 a two point bonus and tier 3 a one points bonus,.
Tier 1 1-4
Tier 2 5-8
Tier 3 9-12
Tier 4 12-16
- Each robot will fight two robots from each tier, and also the robot that was given the same point rank. Match wins are worth 1 point each, and will be added on to your previous ranking score.
- The final robot with the highest score will be the winner. Ties for the top spot will be decided via a fight
As for the changes this time around:
- Perms and Eteks have greatly increased max speed, and torque (300 top speed, 120 torque). twms, perm 80s, and piglets will also have buffed torque like the last tournament
- Weapons have considerably lower HP and dp values, and will be re-balanced to fit the current teeth limits (since let's be real, everyone goes for the max allowed amount of weapons anyways, and there's no """""compromising"""" between weapons, armor, and drive in a post crash patch world
The low HP is so that you can have a fairly low arena damage value that won't **** over parts like wheels and bots spawning in, but it can still have an impact on weapons that would normally need a higher value to deal any actual damage against. this is also serves as a nerf to counter balance the increased spin speeds
- Arena damage should have more of an impact now on weapons, and a lesser impact on everything else
EG: these probably aren't the exact values that will be used, but they're an example of how things would be changed
2 large teeth/15kgs+ , 300dp 2000hp - 600dp 4000hp
4 small teeth/7kgs - 14kgs, 1000hp - 600dp 4000hp
6 large beaters, 75dp, 1000hp - 450dp 6000hp
things like bars and rep discs will all have the same stats with a max allowed limit of 1.
axeheads will keep their current dp, but will have reduced hp
all are pure concussion btw

Alu 10 MAX allowed for chassis armor (if you're wondering why, it's because stronger armors can break the the weakend weapons off before they're able to get a KO. I had to got through and edit all the other parts to not deal damage, I can't do the same for the chassis armor
