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 (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. :bigsmile:

Really like it. Good job mate.

My Plan: Either EarthBound
So your going to have an aborted fetus on your bot?
-
Either one, I'll try to enter. Would it be OK if I themed mine around a Doomship, from Super Mario Bros 3?
-
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 :trollface
-
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
-
...Can I base mine on Robot Arena 2?

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?

They're Void-rays, Void-rays, Gotta mass up my Void-rays :gawe:

Now to get some legal lasers...

Off a video game?
Portal gun, coming up!

Hmm...

SM Ninjad you
Meh, I should read more (': :P
I could enter Dugtrio if it's DSL HW XD

I'll make a Pop-Up and theme mine after Gran Turismo 5.

Pop-ups relate to Gran Turismo how...?

Well, When a car hits a wall, it's hood could pop-up!

Probably a car or something.
But I think mine's been the most original so far, wouldn't you agree? :D
-

But a car could spin out of control! It should be a Sns!
-
Cave Story bot FTW
-
I know exactly what I would aim for, and it would be a blast to the old school.
-
Is it Pong by any chance? :P
-
Dibs on Space Invaders. I have an idea.
-
This sounds fun, now I just need to think of a game to center it around...

This'd be a perfect opportunity for a Soda Popinski-themed bot ;)
-

No, that's too old.
I'm aiming for Pacman, and I already have a rough sketch as to what the robot will look like.
-
Are you going to be accepting skinned components for robots in this? I have no idea what I am going to make but I have a feeling I will want to go to town on it.

How does that even work.

You missed the Dugtrio mention earlier, man. It's already been in a BOTM competition.

Can we have a multibot and have each bot be from a different game?

That sounds like it may be stretching it. If they were from the same game (for instance, two robots based on Team Fortress 2), I think it would be fine. Two different games would be rather jerkish, especially since you could deprive someone of a perfectly good choice because you wanted to enter two different non-related robots.

I'll just scrap my WarpStar+MissingNo. combo and upgrade MissingNo. to a HW.

Or I suppose you could make Missingno and M? Or partner it with a bot based on the Bad EGG glitch?

9 days till poll ends people. Vote while you still can.
-
Tommorrow's when the poll ends people. Sorry for the double post, but I need to keep this alive.
I've seen the results, and there is only one vote in it.
Given this the tick as well.
-
Right, it's a DSL tourney. Start building people :)
-
Ah, that sucks. I'm out, then.

I wanted Stock as well.
Still, have a really good idea.

DSL, yes! I'll make something for this.

Mixed reaction
-
DSL? Hell yes.
Now I need to think of something.
-
Does it have to be skinned like a game character?

Congrats on 2000th post.
Doesn't have to, but you skin it, and don't expect me to do it for you.
-
I have a robot named after a game character, but sadly I can't skin.

I can't skin either. If you ask someone politely, perhaps they could. I would, but I'd ruin it knowing me.

Okay, thanks!

Okay, thanks!
No problem :bigsmile:
