sorry but I cant handicap the rules to put the reigning champ behind the 8 ball their is nothing to prevent Somebody entering a robot as vicious as SnSnSnSnS however I will say that the arena change will see robots like it less dominant as there are pits, drop zones, flippers and fairly low walls, I will say one thing in testing to my amazement SnSnSnSnS was beaten :eek:
multibots are allowed with a limit of 2 bots and as a rule they must be able to use the same bindings :-D
can you have a no snsnsnsns rule cause first i dont want to look like an ass copying somebody's robot and we all know he is going to make one like it in hydros tournament(we all know snsnsnsns shw will win)
Depending on my schedule in the next little while I may enter.
Well, for me personally, SHW's are not an orginal weight class in RA2 is the turnoof.
"If 50% of the weight is beaten the whole bot is out"
Umm.. does that mean that if the other half of the cluster bot dies, the match is decided or what?
the BattleBot rules state that a multibot is only knocked out if 50% by weight is immobilized
umm care to explain *scratches head*
Plus if the next one is cylinder themed Urjak's going to kick all of our asses with a flail shell spinner...
make it pyramids :-D
Just a thought, using a caster instead of a ballast weight for the -400kg weight makes construction a lot easier.
Also, I'll enter the tourney.
I still want the next one to be cylinader themed.
-400 kg smartzone?
Yush !! ;D
Problem: I need someone to AI my bot :P
I have a possible bot in the works. Not sure if I'll enter though. It might turn out to be a failure, since it's a relatively unheard-of design... (Hint: it's named "Warwolf" ;) )
We need to get Click to expand on this idea for DSL3.
One problem, why does it take 400 amps? If it uses air for fuel, which I'd expect, the amp draw should be more around 100. Besides, 400 amps is insanely high.
And no the dual perm doesn't sucks 304 amps but a little more than 100 amps.
If 50% of the weight is beaten the whole bot is out
Also, I got the biggest chasis ever seen, Thanks to the Dual Perm >_>
I have a bot that must be seen due to issues of legality. The weapon cleaves through the entire chassis, but nothing blocks the weapon itself.

It's a good rule, but couldn't "one of the multibots" be better than "50% of the weight" ? I can see abuse in this in the form of a multibot consisting of a SHW gut ripper and the second part is a very fast BW, just for bait to the opponent to come and destroy it, and the other SHW will take the opponent by behind and destroy it easily.
Naryar told me that the Dual Perm consumes a little more than 100 amps...
elecMaxInOutRate = -3094
OMG, i cant wait... My bot is done :3
I have something VERY powerful in mind guys.
i think its hope no more made by naryar but modded
just while i think of it those of you making cluster bots if your bots are different weights i will need a way of telling them apart... basically you cant submit the same bot with one bot having a battery short (name changes are ok)
since GUMBA's lightweight division possibly canceled and MXC sitting still right now I think I will officially open the....
Building/ Submission Period
Its the 15th Today (GMT+8) and so the period will be open until midnight on the 30th (GMT+8)
pack your bot file and bindings (for those who wrote their own) in a Zip or Rar and send it via pm
please double check your pm posts before submission as if everybody sends it twice thats 48 messages and the pm limit is 50
Your name on page 1 will appear colored now, red if I have no bot, Green if your bot is AI'd in the game, yellow if your bot is pending
also note: SSG and Pwnator you both sent me bots prier to this period so your will have the option to submit an updated or completely different bot within the period
I'm gonna have a final night of experimentation, and you should have mine within a few days.

JoeBlo, did you get my bot?
What do the colorings mean on the entrants list?
Me and Doomkiller are orange, Pwn is green and the rest are red?
JB should update that on the first post.
[Edit] That's yellow? o_O
You'll get OOTA. I can guarantee it, Somebody. You'll get OOTA !
The bot barely even FITS OOTA, and when it does, it still doesn't go in as eliminated because it bounces up on the spinners.
I'm almost finished mine. It's pretty much indestructable in a 3-minute match :D

Almost done tweaking out my SHW entry cube bot; 'Pip Squeek'. It's small but....
You said we could use any AI.py, so I wrote my own. The bot and AI.py of course follow all of the rules set forth in this Tourney thread. It's weapons need a bit of work to be 100% and then it will be ready.
Oh, here's a short vid of 'Pip Squeek' against Alligator(all I had for SHW at the moment). Goose inspired me with this SHW: Mads_Cube_Entry (http://www.madiaba.gametechmods.com/VIDS/Mads_Cube_Entry.wmv)
"Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning."

defiantly an amusing joke bot to inspire fear in everyone, I found it funny to see a little tiny robot literally blow up a SHW
10 days, 14 bots to go
also does anyone know if hydro is coming back online anytime soon ? I might have to think about getting a person to put their hand up as a reserve should he not return in time
its only a thought im not kicking anyone out or anything, its just encase anyone doesnt make it this tournament has to move forward, I will give a little bit of lead way after the cut off period (30th) but it cant wait forever, as a reserve you wont fight any matches unless you are required to fill in a open space (just make sure you have read all the rules and understand them on page 1)
I hate to break it to you, JoeBlo but I wouldn't expect Hydro to return before the 30th.
According to SSG, he's been spending a lot of time on Garry's Mod and apparently, is pretty high up.

joeblo check your PMs
^^ SFTW alert.
Remember what happened to razor guy? :P
but can you handicap me so if i face somebody he cant use SNSNSNSNS
Astroflights are for drive you know.
double post ftw
the rankings now contain all names entered in this tournament the order of the unranked people is just random at the moment but after qualifying you will be sorted out in your correct ranks and it will be updated through the each round of the tournament
You are late, but you still might be able to be a reserve.
Aslo I'm confused with the Anti Ballast would I be at a disadvantage if I don't have a bot 1200kg???
Yes.
Unless you plan to enter a cluster bot which is two bots with weights that add up to 1200 kg. Just make sure each bot is of the same weight class. There's more info on cluster bots on the first page of this thread.
O ok, I'm a little confused on what u guys mean by AI'ing. Aslo I'm confused with the Anti Ballast would I be at a disadvantage if I don't have a bot 1200kg???
just to clear up some questions, AI is the term used for the computer controlled robots in RA2 (ones you fight in 1 player) basically for this tournament I put the bots in the game as computer controlled bots and get them to fight each other while I record the result and post the videos up here for everyone to see
Anti Ballast is a component for the game that will do nothing but subtract 400kg of your bot by doing this you will have 1200kg to work with (800 limit + 400 from the anti ballast) the game will only build up to 800 but since it started at -400 you can use 1200kg
we can't control are own bots in the tournment I think that would be a lot funner:redface:

Yeah, I doubt that he is coming ack, I could ask him once I see him on steam if he is still entering.
Edit: He just said he doesnt care.
lol I finally figured out where to find the vids haha snsnsnsnsn that is a serious bot hats off to the person who thought of making a Beast like that, That Bot is just plain evil:evil:
well thank somebody for making a killer
not ME there is a guy on this forum named Somebody who made it
can I take his place then:smile:
No you are not a reserve i am.
No you are not a reserve i am.
with Sage, LRA2 and now you (possabily somebody else) all wanting in I think I will make "Wild Card" matches with the winner taking Hydro's Place that way all reserves will get at least one match rather than nothing
No you are not a reserve i am.
Hmm, Joe, could I possibly tweak my entry? You wouldn't have to change the AI.
Is it too late to get in the Wild Card bracket?
What happens if I face sage?
i get destroyed.
i will not enter if sage is in.
whimp
blahblahAnd lets face it, you would lose against any one of the others who entered.
Joeblo put S32 in the wild cards please.
Ok, I've got a bot now. Just let me know if you need me...
I'll enter the wild card then.
this is getting quite popular ... unsure really what to do DuckRA2 said he would take a wild card spot before hand.... should the wild card bracket be expanded to 6 ???
also on the size I think its only fair that a Prize selection if given the the Wild Card winner
Isnt taking part in the tournament good enough?
this was a bit of a hard decision ok I think I will expand it to 6 with S32 and HurricaneAndrew (since they have bots already) but no more.. its closed
- videos will be posted prior to the tournament videos so you can see proof the fights took place (and those that don't get through can see how they fared)
- given the size it is going to be basically a miniature tournament
- also on the size I think its only fair that a Prize selection if given the the Wild Card winner
- the format rules are on page one (it just keeps on growing)
- and I will post up a new bracket soon
this is providing it is ok with DuckRA2 as he is the only wild card person yet to say they were ok with it (LRA2 said he wanted S32 in and Viper89 ^^)
Edit: New Bracket on page 1
Joeblo put S32 in the wild cards please.
WTF I NEVER SAID THAT!
Could u post screenshots of the arena I would like to see the hazards(thats the only thing I'm worried about:frown:)
A new video showing people around the arena (most already know it pretty well) but yeah enjoy it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4nVhc8GFaU
screenshot of the arena is on page
and I made a video of the hazards a few weeks ago
sorry sudden death in the wild card bracket, the voice over was taken from Robot Wars Extreme Destruction
phew all up to date with AId bots (with exception to click as he is going to write is own bindings)
still required:
LRA2 im still waiting for your update along with other wild card bots
in the normal bracket Naryar, Man Manu, Mad and Reier
2 days guys :)
LRA2 im still waiting for your update
if you make one within a timely manor (Tuesday, midnight, GMT+8 max), i don't normally allow this but your last entry did look a bit like a quick whack together
If i dont get it finished use my first one.
@JoeBlo When are we going to know the first matches of the Wildcard Brackett???
when I get all bots and they are AId (check the first page)
Naryar: already making plans for a 48 bracket (2 heats of 24).. the next one wont be SHW so im expecting possibly more entry's then this one
also thanks for submitting blade wave.. adding it in now
dont worry to much about it because of the wild card you at least will have an extra week to sort something out weather you copy it to your friends computer and send it from there or get your on net fixed
also DuckRA2 has withdrawn from the wild card bracket due to computer related issues... takatsukiyayoi you sent me a bot file intended for clash cubes 2 ? does that mean you are still wanting in... if that is the case you can take ducks place in the wild card
sorry its not entirely clear, basically the first rounds are eliminators after that there will be each possible 1 on 1 match up (total 3 matches) so winner of battle 1 vs winner of battle 2, winner of battle 2 vs winner of battle 3, winner of battle 3 vs winner of battle 1.... points are awarded 3 points for a win (knockout or countout) 0 points for a loss and 1 point for a draw (total amout of points are not counted as a win in the wild card bracket)

Yep, I am willing to join for the wild card.
The only two people I stand a chance at defeating are probably LRA2 and Linck. Far stretch for me to win against Viper89 and HurricaneAndrew, as well, I think. Even if I have the same amount of irons as your typical Stock HW HS, numbers do not matter here...
Well, I don't know. How durable are iron spikes compared to medium beater bars?

You will probably destroy V89 and have a chance against HA.

Yeah, if Nar's right about the spikes being tougher than beater bars, then I would think that all the beater bars will come off before your spikes do, which would leave Surprise without any weapons.
Still, you have no wedge and he has one, HA.
I wonder where LRA2 has been anyway? I haven't seen him online for like 3 days.
To be honest, it's a little boring without him to pick on. lol
sorry LRA2 but im going to have to call it .... your previous entry will take part seeing as its 5:30pm on Wednesday (GMT+8)
expect brackets soon :-D
