Sent one of the bots I sent last time this was going to happen.

Signups go for another 2 and a half weeks, just a FYI. Need a lot more people to sign up.

Jonzu accepted and AI'ed.

Interesting.

I might make a different bot. Would it be a problem to wait for the final day to send it to you, just to troll?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #105 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:18:37 PM »

I don't care, really.

What happened to this? Signups opened 2 weeks ago, and in the last 13 days (after the initial rush) I've gotten 5 entries. This makes me sad. I need more people to sign up!!

Only 2 more weeks, people!! Hurry up!!

32 was a bit optimistic.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #109 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:36:17 AM »

It's been no issue on any other tourney of mine.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #110 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:37:22 AM »

The other issue would be that many thing you start never finish.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #111 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:44:47 AM »

Agreed with SM. I host alot stuff, and try to finish all of them.. But still few will never be finished. GGRC For example.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #112 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:51:39 AM »

eh, most of the stuff I've started either ended early or is ongoing (F-Zero).

smashysmashy · « **Reply #113 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:56:16 AM »

Bot update finished. Now to skin =D

Oh and BADNIK SEND YOUR BOT FOR THE CHALLENGE. TURBULATOR IS HUNGRY.

NFX · « **Reply #114 on:** January 29, 2012, 08:18:05 AM »

Normally you get a big rush at the start, when people have already built their entries, then a lull in the middle, and finally another rush at the end as the deadline approaches, when builders have been testing and re-testing to iron out any flaws.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #115 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:35:06 PM »

Also I was planning to do vids BBEANS style where I attach vids to the brackets and put summaries under each match. You guys cool with that?

Sounds good to me

i would like to enter, but first some questions because i am new and english isn´t my mother language, so her it goes:

1)whats IRL?
2)whats a ring spinner?
3)whats joeblo´s narmour bgone patch?
4)whats BFE and AAM?

i hope that someone can answer my questions.

PD: exactly which day will the inscriptions end?

NFX · « **Reply #118 on:** January 29, 2012, 06:51:57 PM »

1) IRL = In Real Life. Basically designs that you would see fighting in real-world competition.
2) A Ring Spinner is a design that runs an outer ring around the chassis, normally from friction or gearings. Since this can't be done in RA2, you pretty much make an invertible Sheck Spinner.
3) JoeBlo's Narmor-B-Gone patch is basically a modified skirt hinge with no collision mesh.
4) BFE is Bot File Editing, where you alter parts of the .bot file using something like Notepad++, and AAM is Advanced Attachment Method, where you swap the .gmf file for that of another component. Both of these enable you to build robots that would not normally be doable inside the Bot Lab.
