Clash of the Titans

OK Guys! A new bit of news here.

We now have an arena skin, made by Trovaner! Its perfect for the tournament IMO, and it looks great.

Thank you Trov! It looks great.

[Naryar]

Cool skin.

I'll try to build a popup or something :P

[freeziez]

I'm in.

If you manage to destroy Revolution you will never be able to defeat flying kamikaze cube!

[Badnik96]

I might make a shell spinner later today, I dunno.

Until it flies out of the arena...

A win because the other bot commits suicide is not a real win. An hilarious one yes, but you can't possibly say "i won" after this.

[Somebody]

I have nothing against a win like this. There were flying fighting bots IRL too.

[Badnik96]

Is motor chaining allowed?

[Clickbeetle]

Also UHW battle will usually not result in a kill.  OOTA, Immobile, and WBP will be the main 3 ways to win.

Good point.  Maybe instead of 3 2-minute matches, you could do one 3-minute match?  Or possibly even 5 minutes, if you're willing to endure it turning into 10+ minutes for the increased chance of a KO happening.


I briefly thought of entering a BFE multibot consisting of 20 LW's... but the rules probably will not allow that, and it would be a pain to AI. (But it would be worth it to see in action.)

you should make it anyway and put it in your showcase or something



anyway i would love to enter this
*starts dreaming up multibot ideas*

[Somebody]

@Badnik: Yes
@Click: However much I want to see that, BFE=not allowed

And I really do not know what to do. I can easily see very few KOs happening in 2 minute matches, but I have always hated one fight tournaments because I have always hated the luck factor incorporated.

Basically, I want to find the best bot, but I want the possibility of kills. If anything, I would go back to the 3 matches, 3 minute scenario.

Did you BFE the chassis into lots of parts?

[G.K.]

My bot is ready.

[Badnik96]

My shell spinner idea failed so I will be entering a popup multibot.

[Little lost bot]

I have a bot that "so far" won every bot I pit it up against (mind you it has yet to face its own class in a fight :S) So if this goes through I'll send you the bot Somebody.

[Somebody]

So I expect everyone to vote for this when it comes to poll :D

[Somebody]

Is there anyone that could whip up some kind of template for me to use for the match introductions. I never really liked the random gray background. Preferably something that kind of matches the arena skin.

Thanks.

[JoeBlo]

I posted somewhere an edited botlab backdrop to allow auto cutting in paint to make splashes really quickly.. dont know where it is though :P

[G.K.]

just edit batsuit.tga
