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.

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.

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

Re: Clash of the Titans (UHW Tournament)

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.)

@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?

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.

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

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.
