no invincible bots, no bots with ultra armor.
no one-hit KO weaponry

I will film, Badnik will AI.

[Wacky Bob]

This is not going to work...

[027 LB]

its for the lulz mostly

[madman3]

This should work, all things considered, if you fine tune the rules.

I may just built a bot for this.

ALL THE ABOVE MUST BE ADDRESSED WHEN STARTING A TOURNAMENT

You're missing the stuff in bold.
This tourney also has another major flaw: someone can enter super unbalanced parts (ramplates that do 9 million damage and weigh 1 kg, or 123STW's cheaty vlad spike) and just destroy the competition.

I will inform 027.

You might want to do what Enigma was going to do:

As much as I would like this to happen I think it won't. It's just not organized enough.

It's possible for it to occur, it just needs a lot of rules explaining the whole tournament. More than the normal amount.

Basically its a tourney were you just enter to have fun (as the rules say, almost anything goes, even custom components.)

You need to limit the custom components though instead of allowing people to make their own.

[G.K.]

OK, I'll BFE invincible armour on.

[Badnik96]

read the post again :P  No invincible armor.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Yeah, but extremely high HP armour IS allowed.

[Badnik96]

offtopic but did you get mine and 027's NQRW entries S_M?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Yes, I both replied to your PMs and posted in the NQRW thread that there are issues.

As much as I like the tourney name there are some issues... for example, how do you define "invincible" or "1-hit KO weapons"?
 
I could make a component with 1,000,000 HP and 1,000,000 fracture and it would technically not be invincible... just very strong.
 
Also, 1-hit KO weapons are entirely dependent on what bot you're facing.  Regular old stock razor tips can be 1-hit KO weapons against the right opponent.
 
Or I could make a reasonable custom component with 1000 HP and 300 DP... but make it 0.00001 kgs so I can stack over 9,000 of them in the front.  Suddenly they become an almost invincible, arguably 1-hit KO weapon.
 
IMO there are two ways to do this:
 
-Regulate which custom components are allowed (for example, FB's, Lu-Tze's, Dummy's, and Darkrat's but no others).  Don't allow anyone to make their own custom components.
 
Or,
 
-Regulate nothing.  Make it a contest to see who can make the absolute cheapest bot that is impossible to beat.  Someone makes a weapon with 9 billion damage, HP, and fracture?  No problem.  In this case, you would probably want to keep the tournament very small (4 or 8 bots).  Also limit the number of components to 200 or something so you don't get bots with thousands of components that lag the game to oblivion.

[Naryar]

I feel like entering an one-weapon 2WD antweight rammer in this.

I shall call it "Size Matters Not"

The winning bot uses hover engines.
Yep, called it.
