Title: Banter Wars Challenge Belt - Enter your best!

This is a new little contest on my channel to fill the gap between first and second series. Entrants should use only stock components but that is the only limit! Enter your best stock robot for a chance to win the challenge belt title against the current holder, the winner of Banter Wars series 1!

Good luck!

Does the bot have to be pretty bad for the viewers sake or can I enter something that is God tier?

Also, for the 40 second intro, do you want things like a montage or what?

Edit: Never mind.  I can't read.  :/

You can enter any robot you like, any weight, so long as it only uses stock components from the original game. I've done this, since there were a couple of people who were a bit confused about the limitations to enter Banter Wars series 2, that being that I won't allow robots in that will just demolish the rest of the opposition without issue. That will be changed for series 3, when any robot can be entered.

For now, the challenge belt is there so that any robot can enter! This is aimed more at people such as those on this site who are much better at making robots. We could get some great battles out of it!

Also, there is no need to make intros. That's only for Series 2. However, if you want to make one and send it, I'll happily use it. It's just not a requirement for this particular contest =)
If you want to send a robot to challenge the Pulverisor, send me a message over PM!

What I'll do, to avoid getting drowned in applicants, I'll make it so that only 5 people can enter at a time. You'll also see the order of when they'll challenge the at the time. Once a robot is eliminated, I'll allow somebody else to enter and they'll appear on the list.

List:

1. Red -Patrick Rowberry
2. Blood Shed - Red Ace
3.
4.
5.

Not necessarily.  He accepted my bot which is good in stock standards.  Although I feel I should make something different and submit that instead so I am getting the right idea and not looking like a try-hard.

It's just hidden components, not a real 'cheat' as such. They're still Stock components ;)

I'm not too familiar with them, but I guess if they don't provide an unfair advantage, they are fine!

1. Red - Patrick Rowberry
2. Blood Shed - Red Ace
3. Signal Jammer - Gauche Suede
4. Thrackerzod
5.

One spot left before I close entries.

Even if you spam them, one half-decent popup and it's all over.

btw how do you enter the main Banter Wars event in the first place ?
Title: Re: Banter Wars Challenge Belt - Enter your best!
Post by: AHeapOfGames on April 07, 2016, 01:32:47 PM
Submit a robot specifically for it =) You can still do that, but I recently did the draw. It's unlikely you'd make the main competition, but you have a good chance of getting into the side sumo competition.

However, the robots are all comparatively weak compared to those submitted for the challenge belt. Think of Robot Wars Series 2/3 standards. Anything way better than that I won't allow to keep the competition fair and less predicatable. Series 3 will be different, because I'll allow any robot entry, regardless of strength (within reason.)
