41, im happy now, at least its not less then CC3 :D

I would like 50 for a 64 bracket at least but there could be more, im going to have it open to any via email like BBEANS but pm's will take priority (so it pays to be a member *hint hint*)

I felt CC3 was lacking (ahem.. not to mention confusing for some)... after that best/ funniest thread with everyone mentioning CC2 got me thinking I should just stick with what works

why change what people like?

(same philosophy for Backlash, im getting sick of people being picky when really all they do it for is because they like things the way they are  :gawe: )

I'm pretty certain 48 spots would go somewhat quickly, if the poll's anything to go by. Qualifying should be interesting, in my view, how's it going to work?

its just a bit of extra unique entertainment rather then shoving all entrants into random.org, the faster robots gain a bye round for there efforts.

Okay, first of all, the tournament is LW. Good luck building 2 SnS's that add up to 249kg. And secondly, multibots with an SnS part, on the whole, suck. One part will just sit there spinning, while the other half gets torn apart by your opponent. Just enter the one bot, trust me, you'll do a LOT better.

Seeing as I have gained access to a computer with a high speed connection, I believe I am going to attempt to build a bot for this.

So much for retirement...

Even though I'm not exactly a dab hand at using DSL, I'll give this a go. Hopefully if I research some past competitors, I can at least make something that can beat Chain of Impending DOOM  :P

Yeah, we're getting some of the older members interested. Which I think is quite good, to still have some prestigious names in a tournament such as this one. =D

Hmm with all these old members entering, maybe I should too. I need to make up for missing BBEANS6 somehow. It's been awhile since I've even touched RA2 though, so I'm probably waaay behind on the current techniques and whatnot. I suppose I could make a token appearance at least. My DSL bots always did better in tournaments than my stock ones.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.
