This'll be a standard 16 entry tournament. I have decided to scrap the Community Choice because it was too complicated.
Here are the rules:
1: Either Stock or DSL HW. Poll concerning that has been added. I personally prefer Stock.
2: No cheatbot2
3: No BFE or AAM
4: Four Pools, with 4 bots. Everyone will have at least 3 matches.
5: Matches will be 2 minutes long.
6: If time expires, winner will be decided on points.
7: Realistic Rule applies for DSL, but not really for Stock.
8: Multibots are allowed, but may not weigh more than 400 kilos per bot.
9: Walkers are not allowed.
10: Bye bot will be Fatal Incision, from Starcore Packs: Here's the wiki article: https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Fatal_Incision
11: You will receive 3 points for a KO, 2 for a WBP, 1 for a loss and 0 for a DQ.
12: In case of tie, Sudden Death will take place, where there will be NO TIME LIMIT and will only end when one bot wins.
13: Glitches are allowed if they are realistic.
14: If a bot havoks once, the match will be restarted, if it does it again it will recieve 0 points or be eliminated in later stages and 3 points will be given to the opponent.
15: I can AI, but PLEASE do it yourself, as I am a complete novice at the art.
16: The fun stuff: Your robot MUST be centered around a video game. It can be Duke Nukem, Space Invaders, Modern Warfare 3, WHATEVER GAME YOU WANT. However, only 1 person may use a game. For example, No Two Team Fortress 2 bots.
17: I'll need help making a splash and I need to find a decent recorder.
18: 2 robots will go through from one pool. The winner of Pool A will face the Runner Up of Pool B, The Winner of Pool B will face the runner up of A, The Winner of C will face the Runner Up of D and the Winner of D will face the runner up of C. Then, winner of Fight 1 will fight winner of Fight 3 and winner of Fight 2 will fight winner of fight 4. Then the final
19: There will be rumbles at the end, each pool of bots will fight each other in a 4 way match and the winners in another 4 way match to find the Rumble Champion.
20: If you want, a Champion of Champions match will be set up for the Rumble Champ and the Official Champ.
I will add more rules as we go along.

Do the realistic rules apply if this is Stock?

I'd prefer Stock too, but it's not gonna be as fun if has to be "realistic"

Oh, and I'll help with the splash.

If its DSL, I am in!

If its stock... what the hay, I will build something for that too (no skill).

My plan: An RA2 themed bot.

My Plan: Either EarthBound or The World Ends With You or Smash Bros Brawl themed.

So your going to have an aborted fetus on your bot?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 16, 2011, 04:05:39 PM »

Either one, I'll try to enter. Would it be OK if I themed mine around a Doomship, from Super Mario Bros 3?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2011, 06:06:09 PM »

Actually, I've had an even better idea- I'll make one based around this, if it's alright-

He's a boss from the old N64 game Conker's Bad Fur Day, just for the record- certainly one of the more original ones out there, being a massive, opera-singing turd and all

I know someone named conker......

Trias is a pretty new member...

Can you post a quick match between two bots you AI-ed to prove to us that you can AI & Record Video & Edit & add awesome soundtracks & all that fun jazz?

Cool beans. With that, I was thinking of making a bot themed to that chap down there- even if just for the opportunity to say that when I knocked my opponent out with its bab, I took their bot and rammed it up its...

...well, you know. Don't want ACAMS to find out :P

I need to find a good recorder. All the rest I can do. Also, I'll play music from one of the games during the battle.

Or you could not make it sound hideous by adding the music after in WMM or something?

Poll

Do you want Stock or DSL?
