1600kg?
Sooooooooo making a walker.
Walkers/Shufflers get a 4x weight bonus?
I am entering!Havok Lite?
I am entering with a flipper, so I am unstoppable!
FEAR ME!
I am entering!Lol better hope you don't go against an invertible robot.
I am entering with a flipper, so I am unstoppable!
FEAR ME!
not quite shure if I want to enter. I have a title to loose :P
I can make use of the price? (aka place in the tourney even though the signups are filled?)
not quite shure if I want to enter. I have a title to loose :PIndeed- once I'm in there, it'll be like 1945 all over again :approve:
>>GF32You do realize this is going to be an ENCLOSED arena right ?
>Havok Lite
Nah, I have built 3 flippers for this now. 1 Beta flipper, a 4bsg rear hinge and a 3bsg front hinge (prototype in showcase)
The Beta flipper does not resemble a Havok bot in any way. (The Havok line of bots stopped ages ago)
>>Ashman58
Yes, yes I am.
Also, how does a 45 point system even work?
If strategy means flinging a bot against the arena wall at 30mph, I have this sorted.Worked for me.
Realistic Enough?Good, now don't use DSA :P

My bot I'm using Has 2 Flail 60kg Hammers and 3 30kg Hammers. I might get out lawed, though.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57138screenshot_9.JPG)
Can you explain your judging system in more detail? The link you provided uses a 33-point system whereas you use a 45-point. I'm assuming that's because you'll be doing an equal-weight Damage, Aggression, and Strategy. In which case, what is the criteria for strategy, it's not covered in the RFL guidelines?
I defined strategy as which robot controlled the flow of the fight more and which one's attacks were more affective.________________________________________________________________
Realistic Enough?

Are we allowed multibots?
Sorry if it's really obvious :P

No.
Don't I get a reserve?
Because he is going to Kenya, starting from the 31 of July.Don't I get a reserve?
You only got it for S1. :P
Why would I give you infinite reserves?
Make it an anonymous poll where people send their bots into Freeziez via pm. A la BOTM.
You know, so it doesn't turn into a popularity contest.
And with only the pictures from the Bot Lab and no custom-made splashes, therefore even less chance of a popularity contest if noone can tell whose entry is whose.
why don`t we use the system (I can`t remember who it was) suggested?
everyone sends the bot in, freez makes a splash and a poll. the 16 bots with the most votes will be in. (14 in this case cause of Mike and me)

I'm in strong support of this. Those 14 spaces are going to fill up FAST in a "first come first serve" setup, and this will also help us prevent arguments about "unrealistic"
@freez Isn't it 13 slots though because you're also reserving one for yourself?
It`s not my system. I just remember someone sugessted it. I think it was JB or someone
It`s not my system. I just remember someone sugessted it. I think it was JB or someoneAnd then I added the bit on no splashes :P

JUDGINGPlease clarify further. You say you will follow RFL guidelines yet use a completely different system. This got me last time as I thought damage would count. In reality everything hinges on "significant attacks" (.i.e favouring fast bots).
- Fights will be judged on significant attacks.
- Fights will be judged on a spectrum of 45 points.
- Fights will be judged by me, TBA and TBA
- All other judging will follow the RFL Judging guidelines (http://botleague.net/doc/judging-guidelines_V3_1-0.pdf).

I need to get someone to add a decal to my bot if possible.That reminds me...what are the choices of decal in the pack?

When will this qualifer vote thing happen?When we've got the entries in, doofus :rolleyes:

Eh, do ou know how to add decals in-game through the paint editor?
If you do then you can get the decals into the game and then add them like any other decal.

Ah, I was referring to the one for the entries themselves.When will this qualifer vote thing happen?When we've got the entries in, doofus :rolleyes:
I thought the tournaments had to be accepted first, or has this one already been accepted?
You do realize this is going to be an ENCLOSED arena right ?
Ah, didn't know.
If you want to send me a copy of your skin i can maybe plaster a few onto it if you like?
Still wouldn't be realistic.You do realize this is going to be an ENCLOSED arena right ?
Ahem...Non-Havok OOTA on Battlebox.
Why not realistic?Robot passing through an enclosed arena with a top = MEGADERP
It went over the top.There's a crowd on the other side.
It has very high walls, but a good flip can send a bot over them.
It went over the top.Ah. But in real life it had a ceiling if I recall.

Possibly, but we're just talking in assumptions right now. Assumptions that go beyond RA2 and into the realm of real life. So unless we could sufficient evidence that it could happen in real life, we're just speaking assumptions.It went over the top.Ah. But in real life it had a ceiling if I recall.
It has very high walls, but a good flip can send a bot over them.
True, however, I recall an incident where Nightmare broke a tooth, which then hit the ceiling and knocked a wrench(iirc) into the audience, and iirc, the tooth ended up either partially or completely out of the box, so it's within the realm of reason that a sufficient impact force would allow a bot to exit the roof of the arena. In RA2 land, the high wall could effectively simulate the difficulty of throwing a real bot through the real roof.
Why does it matter?Again, this is why speaking in assumptions gets you little to nowhere.
Its not like I can replicate it in MW
Although I did flip SS out 3 consecutive times with Havok 18 (the one with 3 betas)
Any robot can technically be DQ'd by any of the judges or the tourney host.
Wait! I want to enter a Sawbot. Because they have a High A.C.D.. In fact, An opponent will be shredded to a sawdust with this type....

In fact, An opponent will be shredded to a sawdust with this type.You only get sawdust from wood, you miserable microbrain :cool:
I was considering suggesting a Battlebots tourney like this one. In my opinion as many entries as possible could be accepted, but only 16 would be voted in via poll based on their realistic appearance.
Freez, why not just keep SKBT and I, we're both willing.
no, they made me lose.Freez, why not just keep SKBT and I, we're both willing.
I guess it'll save me time... is this alright with everyone?
Now you know how it feels :laughingno, they made me lose.Freez, why not just keep SKBT and I, we're both willing.
I guess it'll save me time... is this alright with everyone?
:p
I will if you send me the bot.
Any in specific?
Got it, ill stick a few stickers on it and then PM you the bot, k?
What types of decals are there in the default packs?

The shell spinners were as cheap as, if not, more than Garv's bot. "Dog Collar" shell don't exist because it would be easier to use anything else.
Not only were they as flawed as Garv's FS, A person has also noted the fact that they were high tier designs. Both people who entered Sheck spinners didn't care for the IRL segment and are getting away with it for not being garvin.
Let me write it: Robots must look as close to IRL designs as possible. (No overabundance of weapons, unrealistic weapon sizes, disproportionate designs.)The shell spinners were as cheap as, if not, more than Garv's bot. "Dog Collar" shell don't exist because it would be easier to use anything else.
Not only were they as flawed as Garv's FS, A person has also noted the fact that they were high tier designs. Both people who entered Sheck spinners didn't care for the IRL segment and are getting away with it for not being garvin.
I'll put up a new rule.
(No overabundance of weapons, unrealistic weapon sizes, disproportionate designs.)
For the record US featherweight shell spinne Steel Shadow has at least 12 impact teeth, Phrizbee and Megabyte both had large amounts of small teeth. IMHO it's more unrealistic to have two 70kg hammers than a large amount of small DS teeth.Phrizbee grinded. Megabyte didn't look like a sawblade.
ban metal hinges used for wedges.
Static also?
Static also?
Good point. Ban skirt, burst (unless for a flipper I guess) and metal hinge wedges only
I think the skirt hinge should only be used on the sides of the bot. In a similar way to what the later versions of Panic Attack, Series 4 and onward. If you tried using such a wedge on the front of your bot, then it'd just get caught in the arena, and become damaged.
- Any burst motor is to be used only for flipping/self-righting purposes.What about hammers?

So you're saying the game itself doesn't follow the rules and thus every bot entered into this should be banned?For the record US featherweight shell spinne Steel Shadow has at least 12 impact teeth, Phrizbee and Megabyte both had large amounts of small teeth. IMHO it's more unrealistic to have two 70kg hammers than a large amount of small DS teeth.
Phrizbee grinded. Megabyte didn't look like a sawblade.
IMHO you are wrong. Dog Collar shell spinners are unrealisitic from a fundamental physical point. Each weapon does damage, and each weapon has knockback. With RA2 physics, it's like having a swarm of bees attacking, and each sting is a knife wound in terms of damage. It's illogical. at least a Weight on the end of a spinning thing is a tried and tested method IRL.
tl;dr Dog Collar SS should grind but they don't due to physics = unrealistic.
You've basically banned flippers.
Great thing i was planning on entering a flipper.
Thanks a lot.
can't we do that for wedges instead of just banning them altogether?
Do not violate the spirit of the competition or you will be disqualified. Remember that your robot will be voted into the competition based on how realistic it looks.
Not too sure how that would work, considering he can only accept 16 entries, and then he eliminates some by vote

He's only allowed to have 16 entrants in the actual tournament. So really he can accept as many as he wants but only 16 will make it in.
- Bots with treads get a 100 kg weight cushion.
Quote- Bots with treads get a 100 kg weight cushion.
Am I the only one who see a problem in this rule?
Thanks. 30kg per Heavy Tread and 10kg per Light Tread seem rightly priced. This is assuming that the IRL rules prevent people from using static tread as armor of course.
Hope my bot is realistic enough to be chosen...Who the he double hockey stick are you?

Hey Pressure!
There's another IRL tourney too (Blades of Fury) if you want to enter that too :D
Also that bot looks sick.
And Derpy Ftw :gawe:
You can enter up to 3 if you want
