BTTB - Signups

[G.K.]

This is my tournament idea. Basically, it will involve each of us rebuilding another's first showcased bot. It doesn't matter what weight class, as long as it is legal. Here are the rules:

- It will be HW, rebuild the bots to that class if they are not HW.
- It will be Stock
- I'm looking at 16 entrants at the moment, first come first serve, including myself.
- No BFE, AMM or ZeroG. BFE armour c will be enforced.
- While it's easier for me if you AI your own bots, I can AI for you if you want. Custom AI allowed as long as it isn't cheaty.
- Matches will be best of three, and there are some restart rules:
- 1 havok restart is permitted each round, after a second match-affecting havok I shall impose a disqualification.
- Unlimited restarts are allowed for bots getting counted out after getting stuck on components, getting stuck in the floor for no reason or the bots just spin in circles for ever.
- Multibots are forbidden.
- Custom parts and Cheatbot2 parts are forbidden. The only exceptions are custom smartzones, but only for AI'ing purposes. They may not be used for weight-adjusting or attaching components. Those new stock compnents released in the .cfz by 090901 are legal.
- All botlab glitches allowed.

The arena will be my Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena. Help on getting it to work with a .bmp map to give it more than plain colour would be greatly appreciated.

Now, I need 18 people to register their interest. The first 15 will gain automatic entry, and there will be a wildcard for the last spot, that I will be in. This is 1st come, first serve by indication of interest. Once everyone is in, I shall randomise the people and tell you what bot you need to rebuild.

Am in

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I'm in.

[Gazea2]

I'm in.

[GoldenFox93]

Hm, this looks interesting. Even though I don't have any showcases, I guess I could dig out one of my old machines, I suppose.

[Badnik96]

Might as well enter.

[Somebody]

Do we build our own first bot? If so, I am in. I already have a rebuild of Atomic so I would just tune it. Where can I find this Twiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Read the rules, we rebuild a first bot of someone else, chosen at random.

[Somebody]

Whoops missed that first sentence. I had just read the bulleted rules. How is it decided what bot is rebuilt.

P.S. I am in.

[Badnik96]

I'm with Somebody:

How will the robots be chosen?

[Bubbleman]

i'll have a go for laughs.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

random.org, he will assign each person a number, randomise them and assign 1 the first number in the list, 2 the second etc. etc.

[Jack Daniels]

Count me in please.

[G.K.]

Bubbles, do you have a stock showcase?

@GF93: Until you make a showcase, you can't enter.

@JD: Do you just want the first bot you showcased here?

[Badnik96]

Soo yeah.. who ever gets Arcade, good luck making it a HW!

[Jack Daniels]

@JD: Do you just want the first bot you showcased here?

Honestly no. My first Stock bot showcased on this forum is Sir Robin the Brave for the King Of Karnage tourney. Which was made a couple of years after I first started playing this game. When I made my first showcase way back when, I put up 5 bots for people to look at.  The very first bot on the list was Windmill. I can put a pic of that bot in my showcase if you want. I still have it saved in my stock RA2 folder.

[G.K.]

That pic would be appreciated very much.

[Gazea2]

I have a few questions:
1) Are we rebuilding our own bots?
2) Does it have to have the same chassis? I might not have my first bot. :/
3) Does it have to be the same bot type? E.g- If you rebuild a HS it has to stay a HS

[Squirrel_Monkey]

1) No, read the rules
2) No
3) Yes

[Gazea2]

1) No, read the rules
2) No
3) Yes

Thanks. I did read the rules though and I was confused because our own bots were by our names.
