OK, I've been here a while and have decided to make a tourney.
I CAN HOST!
DSL, no cheat parts.
It's based on Chinese whispers where people will gradually add parts to bots and then pass them on as part of a team.
I hope to have at least 4 teams but no-one will know who is on their teams.
I will start with team leaders (Who will be chosen ) who make the chassis before PMing me, I will the pass on the bot to the next person where they add a certain (undecided) amount of components with a maximum total weight dependent on the team size.
If the next person is too slow I will pass on the bot unmodified.
This will carry on until the weight limit (HW probs) when the leader will then skin the bot. They will be AI'ed and a rumble will probably decide a winner.
Anyone willing to help with AIing would be appreciated.
EDIT:G.K. AI'ing
Arena: Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena by G.K. (if it works)
Teams:Dependant on signups probably about 5-10 people per team.
Format: Rumbles either 3-way or 4-way
NEW RULE: You will be able to ROTATE(not replace) components of earlier builders to aid with your building.
Final Rules:
1) You will be kept in the dark about your teammates until the bots have been AI'ed. Team size will depend on the amount of signups.
2) Depending on signups, 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. BFE armour c will be enforced.
6) The bots will be DSL heavyweights.
7) Custom Components are forbidden. The only extra components you will be allowed to use are AI parts that are not batteries, wheels, motors or weapons, and only on prior consent with myself or G.K.
8) Arena is finished!
9) Signups will close in three weeks, so on the 21st of Feburary.
-
I already told you I was AI'ing.
-
Oh yeah
-
Oh, and count me in.
-
Interesting....
Maybe I'll join.
-
Hmm, sounds interesting, I would probably join
-
Actually, I won't compete. Instead, I'll just help you run it. No room for cheating that way.
-
Good idea IF this goes ahead
-
I MIGHT contibute when I get a dummy robot designs folder...
-
This would be better if it wasn't a tournament, IMO
-
More tourneys... OMFG!
-
This one is innovative. :)
-
hmmmm... Interesting... I'll join. Needs a bit more clarity on rules though.
-
I will join.
You have to promise me though that the three builders prior to Naryar are all horrible noobs so that I can hear him scream in terror when the bot reaches him for adjustments.

Jack, you are brilliant.
-
yay mor tourneys!
-
I would join for sure!!
But i think we should have a max weight...
What if there are 5 people building a bot, What if the last guy has no weight left to do anything?
Its beter if everyone has their weight limit (May pass it by some 0.? Kgs)...
So the builders' contribution to the bots would be even :P
-
there will be a set component amount but I guess weight must be accounted for eg no killdozer ploughs
-
all I can say is, if i compete, PLEASE put me before Naryar, I want him to vomit :mrgreen:
-
Great Idea. Count me in!
-

Nayar is gonna go FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- on you :P
-
actually I think he is gonna
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIITS COMING OUT OF MY EYES!!!!!!HHHHHHHEEEEEEELLPPPPPMMMMAMUUAUuauauauUAUUGGHHN S>>>>>>........... *dies*
-
It will all be done randomly. I hope ACAMS gives the go-ahead soon.
-
I will join.

Oh yeah, we've GOT to do that.
-
yeah, infact we should have someone good build a piece of crap bot like my (acsadentelie) deleted midevil, just to see his reaction
-
Look at Linck's post count. lol.
-
still no news from ACAMS anything else i need to do?
-
ACAMS may not always contact you
how about your work out / develop the ideas people are speaking of in this thread,
such as lints to weight, components, etc
finish up your undecided parts
how about arena, format ? how many teams is there going to be ?
fix all that up and I will give you the go ahead once I think its ready
-

Teams would depend on the amount of people who join.
-
I'll help with the arena, I have a nice idea.
-
OK if youre quick
-
Not tonight, soon though
-
DP. If anybody's wondering why this hasn't taken off yet, SM and I are sorting the arena.
-
if the weight thing isn't sorted out yet i have an idea.
if theres enough people in this there could be 4 builders and a skinner in a team and each of the builders have a limit of 200KG to use and the skinner skins the bot(obviously).
that is if it hasn't been sorted out yet.
also im going to join this.

Trouble with that is chassis and armor weight.
-
well you havent posted stock or DSL so how about stock ? everyone uses DSA in stock ?
-
more choice of components in DSL, how would I make a poll?
-
click add poll near reply
-
I thought we'd already said this was going to be DSL SM?
-
i like stock because im better at it :D
-
i like stock because im better at it :D
*high fives stag*
-
yay mor people who like stock!
-
Am I missing something?
DSL: 5, Stock :3
-
no im talking about sparkey being another person who likes stock
-
About the arena, if I get my idea to work I'll keep it secret like Sage did. It will be a modded RA2tt arena just to let you guys know.. If not, we'll be using a skinned RA2tt arena.
-
I'm better in stock too...
-
Vote for it please
-
I cant with my mobile phone...
-
I'm better in stock too...
ya, and there is more DSL tournys than stock too
-
SM and I were always planning it to be a DSL tournament. If enough people vote stock however....
-
I'm better in stock too...
ya, and there is more DSL tournys than stock too
Before, there was a LOT more stock tourneys.
-
I would definitely join, preferably later in the order so I can add, and not mess up a design :p
-
I would like to be last, so I can make some minor adjustments and make sure it can beat NAR AI.
-
I sould be first, because lets face it, I would screw up what ever comes befor me :mrgreen:
-
Random Orders, but team captains are first.
Enough votes, DSL it is.

YAY!!! ;D
-
Arena almost finished, just need to iron out a kink.
-
Final Rules up
-
Count me in.
-
So you basically build a part of the bot, then send it to another builder ??? This is going to be hard to get a really optimized bot.
Since this is a DSL tournament i am in... but rumbles = :FFFUUU
-
You must first post the idea in Discussion and have ALL rules worked out before posting here.
Post the tournament name and the rules here and if they are all in order a moderator will approve the post and signups will begin.
Does this mean we now make a sign-ups thread?
-
yes you work your way through the sections now Discussion > Sign Up > Brackets, Videos and Awards
-
could we choose our teams?
please?
-
No, it goes against the principle
-
yeah selecting teams wouldn't make it Chinese whispers at all :P
-
OK, All looks good.... go sign up!
-
Yay!
-
Badnik, LiNcK, Jonzu, Ashman, D-Lark, if you still want to be in then please register in the signups thread.
-
Nah, i'm not interested...
-
it would be funny if you made your teams bot skin pictures of Dawn :D
-
Very funny...
