Strict Battlebots-LW

[Lightning S.]

What I had in mind for this tournament is make 16 BB replicas using no cheatbot parts, but things like the realistic rule may be broken if necessary. If people like this, I'll create another tournament for each weight class. If people dislike it, I'll stop after this one.

[Scrap Daddy]

they all look solid, im looking forward to this.

[nicsan2009]

Looks good.

[Conraaa]

This looks like it should be good.

I have a ton of LW reps if you want some prelim matches, want me to upload them?

(not send them to you, but actually publicly release them, so anyone can get them. Because I'm cool like that.)


edit: lol, Backlash vs Whirligig

[Badnik96]

Honestly, I don't like most of the reps, they seem kind of... half-assed.

Also the Whirligig vs Backlash fight sucked, just because Backlash totally should have won :P

[Badnik96]

So do you think I should stop the tournament?

Naah, don't stop the tournament, just try to make the robots look better for the next three weight classes.

[Badnik96]

There's one minute-or-so long clip that comes with the AU BB AI, dunno if any other clips are out there.

[Badnik96]

Which one? there's v1.1-v1.3 in the AI packs section.

1.1 somewhere in the sounds folder iirc. Either 1.1 or 1.0.

[Badnik96]

I've tried several searches with no luck, but I could possibly record a clip from somewhere nd send it to you.

[Badnik96]

You mind if I run the MW division? No offense to you, but I think I could do it better (and I have more than 16 bots in mind)


I'm planning me and 027 pilot the robots as if it were a real-life competition. Just to make it the most realistic possible. Maybe commentary too. I'm planning for this to be epic.

[Badnik96]

I may or may not reskin them.

Also I only want to do the MWs just because of all the work I'm planning to put into it. Custom parts, skins, edited arena (i will make a thread on that soon, I kinda need help), etc.

[Badnik96]

No one said my thing had to be part of your thing.

[Badnik96]

Hrm...indeed. However, if you do use custom components, you will have to think of a different name for the tournament.

Alrighty then. I still have a long ways to go before this gets started, so you should be able to finish your series by then.

[Kossokei]

This looks like it should be good.

Beating Snowflake was an Afterthought.

This is a pretty cool little tourney.

[Badnik96]

Only fitting that the final was a grudge match and that the opposite robot won this time.

Also I'm glad a weaponless robot won, shows pushers can be effective IRL robots if done correctly. Looking forward to the MW division!
