SIGNUPS CLOSE 1st MAY!

This tournament is all about the destruction - as much as possible, please!
To ensure this, there are bot type restrictions.

Rules
-The bot must be a DSL 2.1 Heavyweight built under the 'Standard' ruleset. Minimum weight is 700kg.
-Please do not enter an IRL bot, I will decline it. Also, if the bot you enter is obviously lower than your creative/technical ability, I may decline it.
-The bot must have at least 75% of it's weapon weight in one of the permitted bot types. If you wish, the rest may be used in a rammer/wedged rammer rack.
-The permitted bot types are as follows

-For weapon motors, you may freely use all types of Perm including Dual, the E-tek, the 2/4/6Mag gearboxes and the Geared Beta (for hammers only). Anything below the Perm 80 in power (Piglets, Mags etc) can be used at a limit of 2 for a specific bot type - for example, you can only have 2 Face Spinning weapons using any motor below a Perm 80. This means you can use more than 2 of these motors provided the bot is a hybrid, and only has a maximum of 2 on each weapon system.
-No flailing weapons
-No BFE for an unrealistic cause, no Custom Components, no AAM/Cheatbot2/ZeroG etc. Trov Glitch is allowed.
-No Clusterbots
-19 entrants (the last 4 accepted entries will be in a Wildcard match)
-Fights will be conducted in the Combat Arena with hazards off for 3 minutes.
-There will be a Loser's Bracket
-All fights aside from the Grand Final (between Winner's Bracket winner and Loser's Bracket winner) will be 4-way.
-1 Havok restart, then your bot will be removed from the battle.
-No upgrades when you send your bot, apart from AI lines.
-I can AI but PLEASE try, it saves so much time.
-If you enter a bot that breaks the rules, you will be notified. Your spot can be taken by someone else if you are holding a spot with an illegal bot and the entry list is full.
-Entries received before signups open will need to be resubmitted after signups open to be valid.
-I will be entering with Pyrexia 2.0

-Any empty spaces in the entry list after 1st May will provide 'bye' spots, first filling the Wildcard, and then if the Wildcard is empty too, they will be shuffled into the first round via randomizer.

I thought you were retiring from hosting to concentrate on mod duties?

cephalopod · « **Reply #4 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:49:41 AM »

Me too. Thing is I actually kinda enjoyed filming the last few fights of RW2005 - the fact is, that tournament wasn't really what I wanted to run, it was an experiment into if I could get people to build 'more' IRL, with the vote.
Besides, I figured I should make up for how long that one took by running something right. What better way to make me run it right than to make it something I personally want to see?
This may well be the last one. It might not. No promises anymore.

That, man is an COOOOOL idea, i bet that this tourney is gonna be a total robotic savagery

Well I like the idea, just a shame I can't build a good spinner

Badnik96 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 13, 2014, 09:51:56 AM »

I might enter. Dunno yet.

ty4er · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2014, 12:52:29 PM »

hell yeh this is what we need

123savethewhales · « **Reply #11 on:** April 13, 2014, 02:13:27 PM »

I am not entirely sure how you categorize a bot type though.

Say if I build a juggler with a WRAM, it's still a juggler, but how would that work under these rules.

martymidget · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2014, 02:33:58 PM »

I'd say that 75% of the weapon weight has to be spinning. Or something along those lines. And half or so of the bot's weight must be part of the weapon system.

123stw: If i know what you meant my WRAM i could probably give an answer

Wasn't Total Carnage a tourney Scorpion made with popups banned, i remember Click entered a DSL Drumblebee with a PA top on it

cephalopod · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2014, 03:06:47 PM »

Yeah, I think we'd go for the 75% weapon weight on the spinning weapon rule.
Also, Mystic, yes - I pretty much copied it because it never got finished and it seemed like fun.
Natster - try. You've done a lot of IRL builds where people can't give you a lot of advice to improve. You actually have to work a little to get something good in standard, so just try something and showcase it then people can help you improve it :)
Also, ty, yes. It is. :3

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2014, 03:16:26 PM »

anyways for sure i'm gonna enter that, i already made a prototype that you
can check in mah showcase, well maybe i'll make a vs with two 6mag powered discs

cephalopod · « **Reply #16 on:** April 15, 2014, 05:16:29 PM »

Top post updated with pretty full set of rules. Anything I should add? Any questions?

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 16, 2014, 06:03:23 AM »

You should allow Drums, unless you class them as Vertical Spinners

playzooki · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2014, 10:13:42 AM »
