- These are the rules, they cannot change at any point from now.
- The following tournament is a Minor League tournament.
- The ending deadline for this tournament is September 4, 2011

PMbomb'd. =]

PMbomb'd. =]
Blimey, that was quick!
Also, it's good to see that you're entering. I'm working on something too :approve:
-
Can we change entries, e.g. submit a bot now to get a spot and then change it before the tournament actually starts to a better one?
-
Sending. For now, it's a prototype. I need to tighten the chassis.
-
working on something annoying to beat :gawe:
-
Hmm... I'm thinking to enter...
-
Sent.
-
had some time today so i checked the first 5 bots
derp
-
Sent
-
Can I enter because I want to enter an improved saharan warrior but I don't know how to AI.
-
Yeah, I would have thought so, mine isn't AI'd :P
-
*Runs to get bot and AI code that probably won't work*
-
And I think the people who have joined the forums the past month and a half like me should compete as well.
-
Sent with a fail AI line (At least I hope it sent :confused:)
-
Tournaments like this one generally are open for anyone on the boards. Entering tournaments is a good way of getting to know what bot types work and what don't.
-
I now how to AI! AIng Grubby Joe 2 will not easy, but I will try to AI him right.
-
Ok my robot is finished and it can beat robots in BBEANS like Event Horizon 2 and Wedge Tracker so I think I have a shot and this was the robot I was going to use in my first challenge battle if I added the robot type.
-
Can it K-O bots?
-
yeah it is a Ranmā suichoku supināhaiburiddo.
-
Bless you
-
My entry has KO'd Fury several times. =] And Popups, HS, VS, Rammers...pretty much everything else Starcore V4 could throw at it.
-
When I get home tonight is should be able to get Pytosis in.
-
Could I send it straight to him or does he have to be online?
-
Could I send it straight to him or does he have to be online?
Just send it to him. It'll remain in his PM inbox until he comes online.
-
Bot is attached to this post.
-
Can I put mine i the exchange and then tell you the name of it?
-
the rebuilt Parasite will make an appearance.
-
Ok mine is on the bot exchange and by the by when is the tournament starting?
-
When he gets 19 entrants...
-
It's 18 mace HS time.
-
I just entered this thing and I don't play stock. Ever.
-
Sent my bot...I feel like I'm too late and all the spots have already filled up.... n_n
P.S. it's not a HS, SnS, VS, Crawler, or Popup. :O
-

?ammer, then. =]
-
I was going to exclude some more types but I didn't want to give too much away. :P Just mentioned the more common/powerful ones.
But no, it's not a hammer/rammer/wammer. Or a hybrid of any types I mentioned. IT'S A PROGR-AMMER
-
I'm pretty confident with mine. Apart from Squirrel Monkey's 1WDness. Perhaps the lack of defense will let him down. =]
-
Either a FS, Juggler or Stock TRFBD lol.
-
Pytosis sent, time to wet your guys pants.
-
...I'm still reasonably confident. Not as much as I was. But it'll be very interesting.
-
I would enter, but im having problems getting my bot exported. :(
-
Ok, 2 spots left.
Badnik's bot also has a problem.
Once all robot have been sent, you have 1 week for updates!
-
15.Fracture
YES
Wow that was close. My bot would definitely suck in a rumble. o_o
Pytosis sent, time to wet your guys pants.
I'm still amazed at how easily that beat Fury in the last tourney...
-
15.Fracture
YES
Wow that was close. My bot would definitely suck in a rumble. o_o
LUCKY. I had mine already made, but I had to rebuild it in Downloaded version of RA2. It was made REALLY fast. But it should do fine in a rumble.
-
Wow that filled up fast. Not to confident about mine though...
-
Wow that filled up fast. Not to confident about mine though...
...you didn't enter that rammer you first showcased, did you?
In any case I'm glad to see you entered. :]
-
Wow that filled up fast. Not to confident about mine though...
HEYYYY... You are new here so :welcome
-
Wow that filled up fast. Not to confident about mine though...
...you didn't enter that rammer you first showcased, did you?
Nah, I was originally going to enter a T400 style bot with caster armor.
-
how the heck did i miss sign ups?? DAMN IT I ALWAYS MISS SIGN UPS!
-
This'll be sweet.
-
how the heck did i miss sign ups?? DAMN IT I ALWAYS MISS SIGN UPS!
There's still two spots left. :P (perfect fit for you and Click)
-
Woah! I was gonna enter! Too bad I'm not usually online on Sundays.
I doubt I'll get mine in and if I do, I probably won't win the rumble.
This stinks.
-
how the heck did i miss sign ups?? DAMN IT I ALWAYS MISS SIGN UPS!
I second that..
I should have left it unapproved until I built my robot :P
-
Signups all but full in one day!? That's like a BBEANS-level response. I was expecting signups to fill quickly, but not THAT quickly.
*shudders to imagine the flood of entries I will get when I announce Ironbot signups*
My bot wasn't designed with rumbles in mind, and I see 090901 will have a VS in there which can probably beat me... not sure if I should even bother entering the wildcard, but as long as I have my bot already built and AI'd, it seems kind of a waste not to. I will enter anyway and see how it goes.
-

I'm pretty sure this is the first regular Stock MW tournament since Robonova 2...there's at least 30 tournaments between that and this.
-
My bot wasn't designed with rumbles in mind,
Thats why I havent bothered with the Wildcard..
Mine wont last very long at all, so the spot may as well go to someone with a chance..
-
youshould.... expand the number of entries..
-
youshould.... expand the number of entries..
The max for "minor league" (first 3) tournaments is 16.
Although it's annoying when there are no major league tournaments open and we're starved for tournaments, I do understand and agree with why that rule is there. We don't want an unproven host being overwhelmed with too many entries.
Though I would be in favor of increasing the maximum sooner, like after the first 2 tournaments.

Stop making me feel guilty for entering. :P
I thought the same thing as you, but then realized that "someone with a chance" can be roughly translated as "someone with a generic HS or SnS". With me and 090901 in there, there can only be at most 2 HS now (not sure what R1885 is entering), which gives one of the two of us a much better chance at winning. Either one of us would get owned with 3 HS in the arena but 2 is a little bit better odds. (You're welcome, 090901. :P)
Of course I still might not even get in if anyone sent in bots in the 3 hours between 090901's last front page update and the time I entered.
-
Wait I'm entering it is in the bot exchange under Stock MW the RPJK Sahran Warrior please I want to be in this tourdament
-
Don't you guys worry, once my exams are over and I can therefore finish BTTB 4, I'm going to be doing a new stock tournament.
-
Oh, goody. I still might make it...
-
Does that mean I am in? and anyways stock MW is what I am best at at overall.
-
Bot is attached to this post.
Excuse me, but I already did this before a few other people sent. Heck, it's on the second page!
-
Yeah I know heck realistically we should be in the main tournament not in the wildcard battle so I think the host should rethink who has sent thier robot first.
-
I imagine he was assuming that people would send him their bots via PM, instead of getting them lost under various other posts in the thread. I wouldn't hold the blame squarely on Ribbs here at all, personally. If you had sent him a PM with your bots, then we wouldn't be in this situation right now.
-
But to me it is easier to put them in the bot exchange.
-
But to me it is easier to put them in the bot exchange.
And then send him a PM with the link to your robot in the Bot Exchange. He won't download your bot if he doesn't know it's there.
-

Easiest isn't always best
-

I cant imagine why you would :P
-
Ok I sent him the link so hopefully I can get in at the last minute.

Unfortunately the bot exchange hasn't worked for me ever since Mechapocalypse (Yeah, basically I did an update and uploaded it but it was apparently non-existent on the bot exchange).
Still I PM'd him about my bot's whereabouts. It'll be interesting to see the opposition in the wildcard if my entry is denied entry to the initial entry list.
-
I will send something new soon 090901.
-
Now I think I'm paranoid about the length of the wedge of my bot. If it's a 20cm extender it's gonna be easily defeated XD
-
Now I think I'm paranoid about the length of the wedge of my bot. If it's a 20cm extender it's gonna be easily defeated XD
Not necessarily. When I shortened the wedges on Parabolic Trajectory 2 from 100cm to 60cm, they became considerably more effective. Plus it looked cooler. =D
-
Wow, this filled up quickly :eek:

With the looks I agree but I tested both designs and the 40cm extender was considerably more wedgey than the 20cm one... It couldn't even get under my wedge test bot (One of TX's MW popups)
-
My bot has a alright paintjob. That's pretty much all it has going for it.
-
I think my robot is an excellent all-rounder, personally.
-
My bot has tonnes of frontal protection but also Plastic, ironically.
-
Hope there are lots of exposed chassis :evilsmile:

Just like Tempus Fugit. =]

Unfortunately for you, mine has 2 ramplates and 2 DDTs, but only one black. In many ways it's a mini Shadow Tyrant.

Not exactly, it's just a popup built to kill things quickly or die.
You might as well download it for a laugh, it isn't too great. It's on page 2, linked to one of my posts.
-
sending new bot (my new bot is exactly 390 :trollface )
-
Mine I slow as heck but has 18 maces.
-
Hope there's no caster armour :gawe:
-
Mine I slow as heck but has 18 maces.
That's the bother with yours, it has a heck of a lot of weaponry, but the mobility is seriously compromised. A decent popup - or possibly rammer - will take it out quite easily, I reckon.

Better watch out S_M :trollface
But in all seriousness I bet I'll be out in the first round, I bet you all 4 Sheep :D

Well,ive picked up two random bots,and im praying they fit the rules!

Well, I'm most likely in the wildcard, so I'll hopefully see you up if I manage to beat both Ribbs (who's bot looks good enough to thrash mine(hahaha u c wut i did thar)) and 090901 (who's bot looks, ehh, decent, but it ain't his best.)

Punk vs Thrash? XD

like I'm practically praying to God that I'm in.

It would probably make me ever so slightly more confident about the wildcard :P

Which reminds me, little buddy. I notice that since that win, you've been getting a little on the cocky side. Hence, if I enter, I'll cut you back down to size :gunz:

Might be an idea. What also might be interesting is how it could be almost like a bounty- the one who takes out Avalanche gets a bonus.
-

Not before you get killed by me. You've got other opponents too, and I think 090901 or R1885 could pwn your midget, ten year old ass.

Anyone who can give rep interested in giving the one who melts Avalanche + rep? Or maybe an Avalanchestopperweight?
-
I would lol if Avalanche lost to RPJK.
-
For some reson he wont put mine up. I have messaged him 2 times now.
-
He hasn't been online at all today, that's why.
-
*Facepalm*
lol at you Garvin

*signs up 027 for some reason*

Good idea! And maybe the title of "Certified Ski Patroller" as well, for the role in preventing Avalanches :gawe:

Since when did i say i was CERTAIN to be in?I just stuck in a couple o random bots,with a weight i have no clue about?I very well could not enter!

Technically mate, if you build to the weight limit, it's pretty much a typical MW Tournament.
And Skit? It certainly sounds like we've got it worked out. We've got the snowman ready, now we just need to kick him over :gunz:

Didn't know you liked carrots- a substitute to tatties, perhaps? :D

I do like them both roasted, though. =]
Back on topic, I am confident with my bot. =D It has an excellent mix of OMD.

Ah, OK. And hopefully, I can put something together for this- then we'll have a little competition as to who takes out Snowflake first.
I prefer my carrots steamed, though :P

I guess the wildcard is probably full too...If not I have to build something at light speed. D:
The current rate of tournament entries suggest that people are going to have to prebuild bots months in advance or just send in bots they already have...

There does seem to be a huge influx of newcomers wanting to see how their machines do in combat. Maybe if we had a newcomers-only tournament, that MIGHT help ease the burden. Or if the maximum entries could be raised to 24, that would also help. This isn't really the place to discuss it, though.

Monthly tourney of newcomers anyone?
I'd be up to host them once I get my comp back :P

That's a good idea- maybe someone could try creating one.
And Badnik: Thanks- just be sure to have Rep Wars 3 finished before it does come to fruitition, though :3

Garvin vs Geice (Or however his name is spelled) now that would be a funny match (Then again, it would be if he were up against me as well :L)

*Facepalm*
lol at you Garvin
No, I started asking him yesterday.
-
Hmmmm, I'm think about having 2 wildcard rumbles because i have enough bots and the top 2 from each rumble would then fight in another rumble and the top bot would move into the main tourney.
And since madman and RPJK trolled me by posting their bots in this thread, i got to figure out where their spots will be in a main bracket
*EDIT*
Fracture and Conraaa will have to be moved into the wild card because of this now, sorry guies
-
I was going to suggest a secondary rumble, but then decided against it.
By the way, 090901, I forgot to name my Smartzone before I put it on the exchange. Could you do that for me before I send my AI?
-
.................
I might have to change my bot altogether now...
(the stupid thing is I saw the sign-up thread as soon as it was posted, but didn't submit anything at first because I thought we weren't allowed to change them after)
-
What about 027 and my update?
-
If im in,im gonna smack on RPJK like hes a rented mule.
Ok you want to fight a Northern Irish because I'd be carefull if I was you and Anyways you are getting cocky. Me I competing for the laugh and to pull off a suprise by having a couple of wins.
Predictions
ME: I will `lose` first match.
Everyone else: I don't know but I have a prediction that Clickbeetle will make the semis as well as S_M.
-
...huh.
So I lose my place to people who couldn't be bothered to send a pm and had to make 090901 wade through the thread's posts to find their robot? Unless i'm missing something. And iirc RJPK never even posted a link to his bot. Not in this thread anyway.
I know it's first come first serve like all other tournaments, and I would probably have gone out in the first round anyway. But still.
Thats left me mildly miffed, actually.

...huh.
So I lose my place to people who couldn't be bothered to send a pm and had to make 090901 wade through the thread's posts to find their robot? Unless i'm missing something. And iirc RJPK never even posted a link to his bot. Not in this thread anyway.
I know it's first come first serve like all other tournaments, and I would probably have gone out in the first round anyway. But still.
Thats left me mildly miffed, actually.
I do think that's a bit harsh on you and Fracture, personally. I think, if something like this happens, it should be judged by the time the host receives the bots, rather than when they are sent. madman said the Bot Exchange wasn't working, but he could have easily sent 090901 a PM with the link rather than a post, and RPJK could and should have done the same. I'm not going to blame anyone here, it was just a breakdown of communication, but I don't think it's fair that members should be bumped out of the tournament because others failed to properly inform the host.
-
I guess we have to choose between ordering entries by the time truly "sent" or by the time 090901 actually received them. Obviously you wouldn't restart a tournament in its finals because the host just noticed an extra entry...but this is a bit different.
-
since the rules dont declare PM only they may send by any means
also Wildcard means only 1 single match.. not a miniature tournament, sorry but thats just asking to be used to bypass the entry limit rules..
I guess I have to let it go now you decided to go ahead and let it be filled up but im not happy with people making there own rule changes..
-
Already Full!?!?
._.

.................
I might have to change my bot altogether now...
(the stupid thing is I saw the sign-up thread as soon as it was posted, but didn't submit anything at first because I thought we weren't allowed to change them after)
Sorry dude. I wouldn't have been that bothered if I was in the wildcard, but I hope you have good luck there.
Same for Conraa.

meh my bot is a snapperloaded popup with *gasp* 8 razors!

also 090901 should release the AI once this is over, it'd be cool

It would be pretty cool, and I can see it being pretty good as a modern stock AI pack.

I think there was always going to be some sort of problem due to the fact that so many people tried to enter for a 16 bot bracket. Coupled with the fact that 090901 is only human (At least I'm presuming he is) and is therefore not immune to mistakes. Oh well. C'est la vie.
Best of luck in the main bracket. Tell me what it's like there :P
-
Ok,a bounty.If i lose against anyone,that person who eliminated me gets free entry to Destructo Bots.

Tell me, what do we have to pay to get into Destructo Bots? Obviously no tournament on GTM is free to get in, ever.

You do know what i mean,right?Getting reserved spot.

I have Destroyed Rampant Puppy love,ripped off the wheels of SUPRISE!,Destroyed sadrabbit,and KO'd I Will Get Shredded,in 10 SECS!The main weakness of my bot is the wheels....Are slim wheels.Cannon fodder!I do have 2 copies,interchangeable.Scrapper,a iron spike SNSN,and Killoamp,a Razor tip SNS.Killoamp is much faster.
-
Why slims? Surely you could put on something smaller?
-

Umm wow
You're the first person I've seen who actually announces that they're seeking attention. xD
You should showcase your bot if you want comments and advice...

Fracture, ya got moved into wildcard. I thought you were in already.

Oh, thanks, I didn't notice. :rolleyes:

It works a bit like stinger with them.Also,it has a tendencie to get pushed into a wall,then it drives up the wall,and away.This means i can get away from flippers,spin up,and WHAM.

-
meh trying to make something new after my bot got trashed by 027's HS.
List o' failed designs for new entry-
SnS- FRICKING RULE OF 7 AAGH
VS- too bouncy
Crawler- also thrashed, sucks anyway
updated popup- still thrashed
Rammer- wheels torn off too easily
Rammer/HS- wheels wouldn't touch the ground
Currently trying an axle complex HS like one of Pwn's bots (Extremist I think). I'll test it tomorrow...
-
Most people would just stay with the SnS and try to improve it by building setups within the rule of 7 rather than skipping over it and trying another bot type. xD
-
meh I was pissed at the time as the last 4 things I tried failed :P
If 090901 somehow expands this to 3 wildcards you should enter MeaCulpa GF, it'd be interesting to see it fare against modern, unrealistic stock bots :P
-
I was gonna enter this!!! there were 6 entries left, and when i went to enter a few minutes later, they were all gone. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/Smileys/gtm/tongue.gif)

Yeah and my robot can destroy Seism 16 and Crawl through Knifes by KO.

Mine can beat AC by points in a 1 min match.

meh I made my bot
4 HPZ's, 1 pink yet still spins fast and lasts 3 mins on battery :O
also we should just make an interest poll, the more people interested (and if the host is a mature guy like 090901, we should have a mod judge that) the more signup spots. That way, we don't have stuff like this.
However, after RW3 I will run a Stock MW 64-slot tournament...
-

That just opens the door for more people bitching and moaning (more then we already have on this site)
It would be like taking the "Reputation" and "Respect/ Fear Ratings" into the tournaments section..
Sorry but rules must remain constant and fair for everyone..

No, it wouldn't even work anyways.

Let me get this straight, The winner of each wildcard gets a spot or The winner of wildcard 1 and 2 duke it out, And then the winner of THAT gets to have spot in the battle.
-
The latter.
-
There is a mini wildcard tournament.
-
Wait,I think the second wild card should be incase Badnik wont fix his entry.If he wont,Wildcard 2 winner steals his spot.
-

Thats because you're in wildcard match two.
Nice try.
-
It does make a certain amount of sense. If Badnik doesn't fix his entry, there'll be two open spots, and two wildcards. I'd imagine either Sage or Click would make it, personally.
-
I've fixed it twice already, 090901 just hasn't EDITED THE DAMN POST
-
Oh.
-
So Who predicts who will win?
-
Once the splash comes up. Until then, we've got no idea who's built what. I wouldn't count out any of the bigger names, such as Pwn or Sage. I'm pretty confident with my entry as well, though.
-
Mine is okay, but I can't see it winning against any huge ass HS.
-
How will the tournament tree be randomized?
-
090901 will get 16 friends to stand in a circle with the names of the entrants written on their shirts. He will then blindfolf himself and spin around and around in the center of the circle, before shooting one of them with a semi-automatic pistol. He will then put the name on the deceased friend's shirt in the first spot of the bracket, and continue with this method, working his way down.

God, i have little time to even do do anything.
I'm just waiting for all updates.

Step right up and take your bets for who's going to win!
-
Step right up and take your bets for who's going to win!
Geice
-
I'm somewhat confident I can do well, depending on the draw. Geice should do well, given the level of building we've seen from him, but I think the usual suspects (Sage, Pwn, etc.) should do very well also.
-
I'd say the winners of the wildcards will be Click and Fracture but I think the final will be between Pwnator and I don't know why but Vertigo.
My prediction of me doing well is slim but I can see myself winning one battle and thats it.
-
Wait, Geice is entering?! ************************************************************
-
Yep sucks to be some of us.
-
Depends on what he builds. I think he could go far. I would be surprised as heck if he won this, being his first ever tournament entry.
-
My entry wasn't even completely finished... Soooo yea. It should still do decently though.

What, the chassis weight was 398.8 and you wanted to rebuild it and make it 399.0 for more chassis HP? :P

trololol. I should try that, it's a good way of eating up any extra weight you have.
But if the form of his showcased machines is anything to go buy, he could be a serious contender here. I'm actually a little worried about facing him, in all honesty, but I'll wait until the Splash appears.

I don't quite understand, can you elaborate that at all? I just thought that if his entry was like his bots that have been showcased so far, then he should do quite well in combat.

You do realise that if my first match is against Geice then I'm pulling out XD

Ah, right. That makes sense. XD
And I'm not entirely sure what the bracket system is. I think it's up to 090901, but it'd be best to inform us beforehand, I think.

I thought minor leagues could only be single elimination...?

I can't remember that rule coming in at all. =\

My bot should do decently provided there are few rammers and/or popups in the bracket.

I expect a VS.
I knew I should have entered my HW - combating VS that can outwedge Seism 13.
Sometimes.

Are all the bots accepted or is Badnik's bot still having trouble?
-
I'm guessing they're alright. He doesn't seem to have updated the first post, so he won't have gotten them.

I can't wait for the splash to come out, I wanna know if I'll be beaten in style or not :cool:

I'd imagine it's school, but I can't remember if he said it finished on the 13th or not. Or he's had unforseen technical problems with his computer.

Oh,and FYI for competitors,dont send updates,because the time for updates is expired.

Actually,guys,i think im may be the one to blame.Ive entered a trinity thwacker,which i dont know of any.So he may have trouble aiing them.
-
There not allowed I thought.
-
It's Piston Fliers that aren't allowed. But I imagine Trinity Thwacks are an absolute pain to AI properly. It might work if the piston was fired at the moment it started spinning, but that might defeat the purpose somewhat.

Hmm, I think that the Flyer.py may have the stuff to work.

I finally got around to looking at his bot because of my lack of time and it crashes.
I will give him 3 days to send in a new bot though.

that means 027 gets his spot because he was the first guy waiting for a spot.
And LRA2's bot is super under weight and i'll give him 3 days to send a new bot or the next person to send in there bot.
