Prizes are:
A motor pack, souped up. no new  motors, just the copal, astroflight, piglet and mini motor made from a static axle. more touque and maxspeed.
a souped up wheel pack, with better grip than any other wheel and more resistance. the ant wheels, rubber wheel and tornado wheel are in this pack.
An Awsomesauce battery, made from the ant battery.
a better bsg, more speed and tourque.
some weapons, including the killdozer plough, the dark scoop, and BFFF flamethrower. better hitpoints and fracture for all, more p&c for the killdozer, and less co2 consumption for the BFFF.
an extender pack with better tribar and steel extender. more hitpoints and higher fracture.
less weight for all of the above prizes. all real stats are kept confidential, so if you like the sound of one, you can try your luck on the stats.

Winning prizes:

Winning the tourney.
1 prize of your choice for:
runner up.
Consolation prize because i'm nice.

Scoring:
2 points for a win,
0 points for a loss,
5 points for a complete win (e.g. you take no damage what-so-ever or your opponent gets no points).
You win if you knock out an opponent, or the opponent gets counted out. if it gets flipped out the match restarts, happens again in the same round it goes down to points.

Bots can be skinned, that's the only thing you can do out side of the botlab.

16 teams so get building, you can AI yourself or let my volunteer 090901 do it. Keep in mind i have requested that the AI'ing by 090901 be average.

It will be run in Nar Ai 2.2, with no cheat parts alloud but darkrat parts that come with the game are alloud(exept the hover engines or the scythe).

Arena is the dsl tournament arena.

if a bot is stuck on a component, it gets unlimited free restarts. if a bot havoks it gets A free restart, and if it havoks twice, it is disqualified.

please, no s'n'ses because they are boring. i want something fun and entertaining (sorry Somebody)

also, to earn prizes,you can cash in points. yes, they dont mean anything. after the tourney, the prizes for the champion cost 25% more than they usually do.
all prizes are 20 points, and, if you bought them, it's not the same as winning them, you still have to win them to be able to use them in future tourneys i may run.

Send with ai, bindings line, and bot in a .zip file, if you are ai'ing yourself, just the .bot file if not. Have fun building!

[Gazea2]

I'll enter this.

[Badnik96]

Miiiiiight enter, gotta feeling I can win with an XTY Prototype x2.

[cephalopod]

I will definitely get something rollin' in for this, especially seem as though it's NAR 2.2 :D

Is it the same bot twice? Or 2 different bots?

[Bubbleman]

I would like 2 different bot types, but i will accept identical bots. Note that i prefer DIFFERENT types of robots, because it varies the battles.

[G.K.]

You will have something from me. Can't garuantee when though.

[090901]

i'm not sure if i can build something.

[Bubbleman]

@G.K. Dont worry, no deadline.

@090901 Don't worry, there will be a CCB2.

[cephalopod]

I'll look what else I got later, and maybe send something else too :P

[Bubbleman]

Craaig, i have the MW you added to the exchange, will that do for your other cluster bot?
Edit: It's Blaze IV, will it do?

[cephalopod]

Ugh, I'm not fond of that version. Lemme play around with it and I'll see what happens. I'll get back to you within an hour, I should think.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

you can team up with somebody.

Hey, Somebody. Wanna team up?

[G.K.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I HATE DSL MW

Take Enigma off the exchange, I'll get back with the AI and another bot later.

[090901]

Just need to finish one moar bot.

[nicsan2009]

wanna team up badnik

[cephalopod]

I'm totally putting my chances to pot entering Blaze V - it's a good looks bot, not necessarily efficient, while my other entry is probably the best MW I've ever built

[nicsan2009]

enter both!

[cephalopod]

I have. Their names fit too. Blaze and Fuel, lol.
