Yes that's right, since anticipation for BBEANS6 is already so high when 5 hasn't even started, I decided to run them both concurrently! Registration for BBEANS6 is NOW OPEN!!!
RULES - READ THESE FIRST before entering!
First, make sure to read the General Rules (CLICK HERE) (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans).
I've made a few more slight revisions for this tournament in the free restart rules. I'm still not satisfied with the way I've been handling immobility and free restarts, so instead of using an overly complex set of objective parameters to determine when a bot is "able", I'm doing it more subjectively this time. In a nutshell, if I think a bot is still mobile when it is counted out, it gets a free restart. If I think it's really immobile, then it doesn't.
Tournament Format[/u]
The weight class used will be Lightweight.
The game mode will be DSL. Obviously, no cheatbot2 parts or custom parts are allowed, but that also means no stock parts.
Matches in BBEANS6 will consist of three 2-minute fights, best two out of three (or three out of three) wins.
The bracket will be double elimination.
The matches will be fought in the BBEANS Tournament Arena V2 (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/robotarena.htm).
There are 64 entry slots. That sounds like a lot, but hey, we're almost there for BBEANS5, why not 6 too?
Prizes
The prizes for BBEANS6 are the same as for #5. The Champion will receive the Champion's Sword plus one prize component of their choice. The runner-up, the rumble winner, and each winner of the bonus awards will also receive one prize component of their choice.
The Champion's Sword:

Registration[/u]
Registration opens NOW (April 1st) and closes in 6 weeks.
To send your bot, do one of these things, or both if you want to be extra certain I get it.
1) E-mail me at sjheophtclickbeetle3364zggdobtehea@gmail.com (Obviously, don't include that gibberish in the middle in my e-mail address. That's just to fool spambots. Only type the blue text)
2) Upload your bot to Gametechmods's file uploader, and give me the link in a PM.
Changing and Updating your Entry[/u]
You can change your entry at any time for as long as I haven't AI'd it. I will wait at least one week after I get your bot to start AI'ing it, so you have one week guaranteed in which you can change your entry. After that you're gambling.
You can change your entry only one time.
If you AI'd your own bot, you can change your entry one time anytime before the tournament starts.
Updating your entry is different. You can update your bot as many times as you want, anytime before the tournament starts. This is for minor tweaks, like wedge position and armor placement. In order to be counted as an update and not a change, your new bot must be basically the same as your old one, and be able to use the same AI bindings as the old one.
The one exception is if for some reason your bot is unable to fight, I will give you a chance to change it.

LRA2, stop posting for the sake of posting. Only make content posts.
Build bots, stock/DSL. Mod the game. Learn how to AI. Do something(s) constructive and beneficial for the community...
