Title: Bully - Signups CLOSED

Ey, I decided to host a tournament!

Before we get onto the rules, I must state the general summary of this tournament. Your goal is to design the most destructive bot that you can.

Your victim: Tim.

Rules:
-DSL 2.1
-Standard building rules
-Combat Arena, hazards off.
-Weightclass is SHW/SuperHeavyweight.
-Only cheat parts allowed are:
-No NARmour Actually yes, it's not like Tim will be fighting back, but, I would prefer if you didn't. Otherwise, the next tournament wouldn't be as... fun. All other glitches are still banned, (Trov glitch, etc.)
-BFE is not allowed (unless it's for the Thermidor Wheels)
-Havoks are fine, unless the bot get's stuck in the ground or something, then that is an instant restart. If it happens a second time, it's another restart, until the match goes perfectly.
-No walkers and/or shufflers (Unless someone can provide me with the Bindings). No cheap Norris's either, glass cannons are okay.
-Popups are banned.
-Multibots are allowed, but their combined weight (Yes, their COMBINED weight) must be under the weight limit.
-If your bot requires smart zones I highly suggest you add them on yourself before sending them in to avoid: "YOU PUT THE SMART ZONE WRONGLY !!!!!11111!!!!"

Scoring:
-Each bot is given a 10 minute round with Tim.
-The bot who can destroy/immobilize Tim in the shortest amount of time wins.
-Immobilization results in no change of time.
-Knockouts will shave 10 seconds off your time.
-Your bot getting Immobilized results in a restart. If after 3 restarts and your bot still loses to Tim, you are listed as DNF.
-If your bot, somehow, someway, is KO'd by Tim, it is an instant DNF. No restarts.
-Should you enter a multibot, if one of the two bots is knocked out, the other can still continue.
-If your bot still isn't done destroying Tim even after 10 minutes, you are DNF'd.

SUBMITTING ENTRIES
-There is no need to AI your bots. However, if your bot uses smart zones and you don't add them on before sending them in, don't you dare complain about your bot being "AI'd wrongly"
-If you have custom bindings, please send them to me.
-Just because all 16 entries are filled doesn't mean you can't send in your bots. You can send them in for the next tournament which I am planning. But they won't be in THIS tournament.
-You are not signed up until your bot passes inspection. If you send in a bot and it is rejected, you must fix the errors. However, someone can take that spot while you are fixing said issues.

My entry:

Aaaaaaaand, that 'bout sums it up. There's only room for 15 entries so, yea.

Deadline is September 30th.

Entries
1. S.H.I.E.L.D
2. Mazakari
3. MassimoV
4. 090901

Interesting, but this will be a rammerfest.

also I highly recommend you improve this bot because defensively it's poor.

A popupfest or hammerfest, rather.

But yeah, might be better off with something that's defensive against all types.

There's a titanium halfsheet under there.

I think...
Title: Re: Bully - Discussion
Post by: Pwnator on August 04, 2013, 12:46:03 AM
Needs one on top and on the sides as well. Hammers and side hammers can take it out faster than rammers and popups.


Actually, at this rate, you could simply build a small bumble ball with DSL disks/steel sheets instead of weapons. Might go against the realistic rule, but at least the competition would be fair.

Now everyone will enter FSnS because you changed the design and we can't kill it easily with a ram.

Hmm... you make a valid point. I remembered Two to Tango banning Shells and SnS. A poll deciding the fate of these bot types shall be put up once the weightclass has been decided.

What about flail shell spinners?

Read my reply to Nary.

You're going to want some top armor, otherwise axes will have a pretty easy time.  What will Tim's AI be?

Honestly thought this was a thread about ty's lw HS.

Looks interesting.

kinda disappointed in the name :P

but it seems like a cool tourny, you'll need to make that bot a bit better though. i'll probably enter
Title: Re: Bully - Discussion
Post by: 090901 on August 04, 2013, 04:31:43 PM
I don't see the need for cheat parts.
Title: Re: Bully - Discussion
Post by: Merrick on August 04, 2013, 07:14:47 PM
I don't see the need for cheat parts.

Me neither. Make it so cheatbot2 is not allowed.

Especially seeing as you've just copied/pasted from Battlebots, so Beta hammers will be dominant. I know a robot I've built with them that would be perfect for this.

Good luck getting through that steel V.

That bot is the outdated version, I just updated it. Will update the post.

I don't see the need for cheat parts.

I want to give other builders the freedom to practically do anything they want, any kind of weapon set up.

I will remove the beta hammers though, I only just found out how unbalanced they are.
Title: Re: Bully - Discussion
Post by: Shield on August 04, 2013, 07:37:07 PM
The poll is taken down, last I saw it was SHW 10 to UHW 4. So, SHW it is.

And BTW, I'll be entering. Which sadly, leaves 15 spots vacant.

Oh don't worry, there's always a second time.

I would get rid of judge bursts too.

Hmm, I guess.

Why no trov glitch?

I forgot what the Trov glitch is :dumb). That and, I would refrain from using any glitches to make the next Bully more... interesting.

Anyways, new poll that decides the fate of SnS and Shell Spinners (Since Conraa banned them from TTT2, I'm not sure if they should be allowed here). Personally I don't like the things, but, up to you folks to decide.

And a slight heads up, the amount of time per round for each bot has been changed in case any of the bots are unable to defeat Tim in time. (I mean seriously, there's at least two layers of DSL Bars everywhere, and underneath that there's still 10 steel armor)
Title: Re: Bully - Discussion
Post by: Mr. AS on August 04, 2013, 10:14:12 PM
agreed, just ban judge bursts.
Title: Re: Bully - Discussion
Post by: Shield on August 05, 2013, 04:17:36 AM
Alright, judge burst are banned.
Title: Re: Bully - Ready for Sign-Ups
Post by: Shield on August 06, 2013, 09:28:27 AM
The people, have spoken.

Shell Spinners and SnS's are banned.

This tourney, is now ready for sign-ups.
Title: Re: Bully - Ready for Sign-Ups
Post by: 090901 on August 07, 2013, 12:27:14 PM
why would then need to be banned when they are the slowest at killing.
if you are going to ban something ban popups because i'm pretty sure a shw one could just one hit ko tim.
Title: Re: Bully - Ready for Sign-Ups
Post by: playzooki on August 07, 2013, 12:36:28 PM
-rammers have no chance
-popups wont work, invincible bottom armor.
-shell spinners and sns are banned
-no judge burst for axes

HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK

also you dont need a judge for a good hammer

Alright then, more polls.

You all have one day to vote.

Now a signups topic.

Title: Re: Bully - Ready for Sign-Ups

Alright, Now accepting entries I guess.
Title: Re: Bully - Ready for Sign-Ups
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on August 08, 2013, 08:21:56 PM
Can we have a download of Tim to practice on?
Title: Re: Bully - Ready for Sign-Ups
Post by: Shield on August 08, 2013, 08:24:50 PM
Then most users would have tons of time to practice on Tim, discovering his weak spots, so, I'll probably not be putting it up until after the tournament hits SBV's.

How come all the robots I make that don't suck crash when I enter them.  :facepalm:

Still having trouble with Qwerty's bot though, I have one more plan. But if this plan fails, would anyone like to give it a go?
