Like I said, why not enter just to see your creation actually work? I mean making something that looks awesome is one thing, but seeing it in action is another, and that's what it should be about. You really think people that built stuff like Ruf Ruf Dougal or Crushtacean, although not jokebots, thought they'd win Robot Wars?

well the point of an tourney IRL or standard is winning, which means effenciency even if it's a tiny bit, it's UNAVOIDABLE if you want to win a tourney, now effeciency should not compromise realism or functionality, obviously

The point of a standard tourney is winning, yes.

The point of an IRL one is having fun.

I have been letting the welder and toolbox in my garage gather dust for way too long now. That and some of my current bots are pretty well up there in miles. I just may build another metallic menace in the garage....

Thinking about abandoning this idea for a big all-out DSL-S tournament.
So many IRL tournaments, so many re-entries, so many wasted spots.

martymidget · « **Reply #45 on:** May 26, 2014, 07:04:52 AM »

fine with me. Any rules in mind?

Probably Rob · « **Reply #46 on:** May 26, 2014, 07:05:44 AM »

What's wrong with a "no re-entry" rule?

cephalopod · « **Reply #47 on:** May 26, 2014, 07:16:31 AM »

Nothing, I'd just prefer to run something else. If somebody wants to take this tournament forward, go ahead.
Moving to Inactive Discussion.

id like to pick up this tournament after my tournament is done if that is alright

Badnik96 · « **Reply #49 on:** July 08, 2014, 01:14:03 PM »

I'd rather not have you pick this up mainly because you don't have much of a handle on what IRL should be based on the bots that got entered into your tournament.

No offense, but that's just my opinion.

Gonna side with this.
Given that the robots are meant to be the most IRL of the most IRL I think you'd let a fair amount slip through.

Edit: Also I'm not sure that you'd pick the best judges either, they've got to be pretty critical for this.

i didnt want to allow levellers friend or homicidal intentions but did because i knew they would be paired with the best bots dragging them down
its just that tournament
also anti gravity is dangerously close to being dsl-s i regret letting him in

cephalopod · « **Reply #53 on:** July 08, 2014, 03:19:19 PM »

Yeah, as 'owner' of the concept as such I'd say you don't have a brutal enough view on IRL as a lot of us boring people do.

RedAce · « **Reply #54 on:** July 08, 2014, 03:28:32 PM »

I could volunteer to help out as soon as I finish my other tournament, if I have the time though. You think I'm an appropriate candidate for this?

El Chickenado · « **Reply #55 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:22:34 PM »

yes redace
id enjoy being one of the judges
i can crack down on irl but didnt in my tournament even though i warned people about their bots

cephalopod · « **Reply #56 on:** August 03, 2014, 02:05:32 PM »

Reviving this, but switching stuff around a lot - no more judging panel (I will be judging HEAVILY though), and switching to Ironforge HW IRL - bots MAY NOT be more effective than real life counterparts, and must have a comparable real life bot.

RedAce · « **Reply #57 on:** August 03, 2014, 02:10:49 PM »

Ironforge? blah. I'll see what I can make though.
