Chinese Whispers 2: Middleweights
« on: November 16, 2010, 02:24:06 PM »
It's back and bigger smaller than ever with a downgrade to the middleweight class!


How it works:


Once signups close the 4 team captains will be chosen. They will be the builders I judge most capable of leading or those who persuade me the best. The remaining 12 entrants will be divided into teams of 3 using random.org but they will not be informed of teams. The leader will build the chassis and send to me, the remaining weight will be divided by four and the bot passed to the first member. They must add up to the weight alloted but no more than that 10 kg less an then they will send back to me. Then I will repeat, dividing by 3 and sending to next person (same rules) then the same for the last two. The leader will then skin the bot and return it to me. A 1 week time limit will be set for each build section, I will make exceptions for uncontrollable events (like holidays) but if people are excessively long then will be replaced by "backup builders".


Rules:

1) You will be kept in the dark about your teammates until the bots have been AI'ed.
2) You will be limited in the weight of components you are allowed to put onto your bot.
3) You may not remove components your teammates have placed, only rotate them.
4) The team captain will name and skin the bots once it is completed, and create the chassis at the start.
5) Under no circumstances may you BFE, AAM or ZeroG your bot. All building must be done in the bot lab.
6) The bots will be DSL middleweights.
7) Custom Components are forbidden. (Except Smartzones and Fridges)
8) No "Narmour" or other cheaty collision components (Typhoon flags etc.)
9) Arena is Serge's Ring Arena
10) I hope to have 16 entrants (4 in each team)
11)Those wishing to be Team Captains should PM me, I will then choose those who are capable. (Bribes of over £10,000 accepted)
12)Round robin style, all fight all
13) I need 4 "Backup builders" to standby if anyone bails out.
14) It would be nice for the leaders to AI but I can if necessary.

I hope this is voted in :D
