So yeah, Robot Wars was kind of a disappointment and I'm sorry that happened. The flame just died I guess. However, I've decided I'm going to hold a quick tournament to try to rekindle the interest I had in tournaments.
RULES
DSL 2.1 Standard realism, though IRL bots are more than welcome
Beetleweight weight class (175.0 and below)
BFE, AAM and other glitches that make your robot unrealistic are not allowed.
Cheatbot2 is explicitly banned.
You cannot be entered until your robot is received and accepted
I will accept one update from you, and you cannot send a placeholder robot to reserve your spot.
One robot per person.
This tournament will be running a modified single elimination bracket (see below), with one battle per match to decide the winner.
Robots must show controlled movement.
No clusterbots.
Match-altering havoks (IE: Those that cause a robot to glitch OOTA, flip another robot, etc) will automatically kick the robot from the competition.
Arena will be the SMALL ARENA with HAZARDS OFF.
YOUR ROBOT MUST NOT BE ON THE BOT EXCHANGE PRIOR TO SIGNUPS. YOU MUST SEND ME A NEW ROBOT THAT HAS YET TO BE UPLOADED. The reason for this is that the robots I receive for this tournament will be competing in Beetleweight Bash Series 5 afterwards, and I already have every robot from the exchange. Sending me an old robot that's been renamed and re-uploaded is not okay but I'm not certain to enforce it, so we'll go by host's discretion. If it's too similar to a robot you already have on the exchange I have the right to reject it.
Bracket Rules:
The 24 entrants will be placed into 6 qualifier rumbles. The two longest-surviving robots advance to the next round, with 4 matches of 3 robots. The winners of these matches advance to the final rumble.
I will not be entering.

Do I make an entry for this not knowing if you'll be bothered to finish it? :P
-
Could this be Ironforge?
-
Alright then, I'm interested.
-
Havok rule seems a bit harsh.
-
Could this be Ironforge?
No it cannot.
Havok rule seems a bit harsh.
It's harsh because rematches are annoying to film and that rule's how I've been handling BW Bash havoks so far.

Anyone else have a question or can I move this to signups? I'd like to get this done in a timely fashion.
-

Yes. This may seem obvious, but how many bots are you willing to take per person. It doesn't really say in the signups.

so does this mean i cant enter IHBEY S or didnt you download that

You can if you don't want two robots in BW Bash 5 :V

This'll be a quick tournament that would be difficult to lose interest in quickly. The reason robot wars was kill was because my comp cut out halfway through and ate all my interest in finishing it.

I'll just rebuild it so it's exactly the same, but it won't be on the exchange until I put it on there, it'll be fine.

Is it possible to update or maybe change my entry?
-
You get one update, so make it count.
-
hey whenever you guys want to send robots that'd be pretty cool
signups have only been open for a month and a half now
-
Halfway full now. Get them bots in people!

I'm assuming he sent his entry via Skype (If he actually did), cause there's no way he would've sent it to you in a GTM Message.

-
Is bfe allowed for realistic purposes? I've actually got something for this.
-
Honestly as this is a DSL-S tournament I'd expect that BFE would not be allowed for anything you cannot do in botlab, otherwise it's kinda cheaty, but it's Badnik's call.
-
BFE is explicitly banned.

RammingSpeed accepted.
CRP123, your robot is overweight. It needs to be 175.0 KG or less.
-
RULES
BFE, AAM and other glitches that make your robot unrealistic are not allowed.
your rules are unclear on this badnik.

and I have just clarified it.

That was my entry, my new entry however:https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/DSL_BW/jaydee99_General%20Bash's%20Boss.bot
-
Okay I see what you were originally doing, and I'd accept that (IIRC there are a few BFE'd robots in BW Bash already).
Your new entry is accepted.
-
Get in.
I know I won't do so well, but I entered because I could.

My robot modified to be a beetle weight now

CRP's update accepted. 8 spots left.

Yay. Quick questions. How will this tournament run ?

What do you mean, like the brackets and stuff? It's on the first post.

This tournament will be running a modified single elimination bracket (see below), with one battle per match to decide the winner.
Bracket Rules:
The 24 entrants will be placed into 6 qualifier rumbles. The two longest-surviving robots advance to the next round, with 4 matches of 3 robots. The winners of these matches advance to the final rumble.
-
Yeah Im guessing all robots will be AI and are you going to record i'm interested to see WEDGYS REVENGE fight as I haven't tested it as AI
-
All tournaments use AI matches and all tournaments record their matches too. It would be a bit boring if we just took the host's word for it and saw nothing.
-
That used to happen, y'know.
-
Friendly reminder that there's still 8 spots left and this isn't starting until I get 24
If you've already entered then bug other people or something just don't let this sit here and die
-
Craaig accepted
7 spots remaining
-
Agaton accepted
6 spots left
-
weekly reminder that this tournament exists and needs 6 more entries
-
hmm. i've just had a decent idea, probably not gonna win but i'm not entering a BW tourney to win.
it is obviously an hybrid

Maybe you should just remind yourself, with a phone for example.

why did i even open this
there's still 6 spots left. I'm giving you guys a week to send me things, and then I'm letting the guys that entered already enter a second robot. Signups have only been open for 3 months now guys, come on.
-
So, can we do double entries yet?
-
yes
-
Alright, will do.
-
Come on guys. It can't be too hard to get 24 goddamn entries for this. This is why the community is dying slowly.

dude you have gotten more people to enter than most other tourneys nowadays, which is pretty impressive since this is beetleweight

As would commonly be said in the years past of jonzu's dying community, QFT
EDIT: In fact, these days the most popular tournament is BattleBots, right? The most entered class there had 34 entries. so you've got like 2/3 the amount of entries of the most popular tournament. A few years ago that would've been 40 entries (see: bbeans getting 64 entries). 20 is nothing to be sniffed at.
-
What Craaig and Jonzu said. While the community hasn't been as active as it was 4-5 years ago with the only mainstream tournaments being IRL along with entrants where most could consist of subpar, cringeworthy or overpowered bots, you should get a medal and be happy for having this many entrants that isn't the usual IRL tournaments and with beetleweights nonetheless.
-
Come on you lazy BLOOPs. It doesn't take too much time to return to RA2 for a while and make a beetleweight. There are 4 spots to be filled, it can't be that big deal.
I'm staring especially at you, Naryar.

Maybe if people knew hosts wouldn't be lazy like many people have in the past year and then not host they tournament they enter it! :smile:
Or maybe they are just following these words of wisdom!
I'm too lazy to host my BLOOPing tournament as well. I don't even remember when I touched my RA2 folder...
-
Words of Wisdom and Jonzu doesn't match. I just want people to enter this tournament.
-
>beetleweight
eh
However, I did said I would enter and I did build a bot for that, so I suppose I should enter it.
But really interest for RA2 is about 0,032 right now. I just stick around here for showcases, and the community.
-
Sent the first BW I've ever seriously built so uhhh... here goes nothing I guess.
-
3 spots left
-
Sending my bot. It's AI'd and everything.
-
one spot remaining
if no one takes it in a week i'm making a wedge and entering it as the last robot

Wow, this is draaaaagging.

Wait, I thought reserving spots wasn't allowed?

No idea if my bot is good, I dug it out of my old hard drive.
