That's right im going to be having a second go at making a tournament. I tried making one a while back but got caught up with work and so I wanted to try again.

Tournament Rules
Irl
HW
Re skinned robot wars 2016 arena 
bracket and competition is modelled after the newest season of battlebots season 8/3
55 entrants Max
Each bot will fight 4 times and the top 16 bots with the most wins will go to the main tournament
each match is 3min
For Judges decisions we will have 3 judges The Orc corp,primivial brony and Harry from good robottal
THERE WILL BE NO BIAS AS TO WHO WILL WIN
Match will be restarted in the case of havok
Build Rules+Gimmick
So for this tournament the gimmik is that looks come first
your bots can be effective but if they are bland or unoriginal then they can be deemed "not worthy"-Thor
Its Basic IRL rules from there on
component freedom is allowed as long as its used for IRL purposes
no servos
overkill motor is a yes flat motor is also a yes everything else is a no for cheat bot 2 (quick note if you want to us overkill motors you must ai yourself)
no melty brain
it would be useful if you made your own AI but I can do most
no eternal flame
30kg extra for walkers
20kg for shufflers
no overhead thwak bots
no swiss army bots to keep it simple for me
it it is 1 entry per user unless I need some extra spaces filled
I dont know when I will be taking entries probably when I feel I have enough people interested

Ok so after some quick responses to this I just wanna clear somethings up. Firstly some people didn't understand the gimmick or had a general complaint about it. What I wanted to do as that I wanted to make a tournament that encourages the creative side of IRL builders, thrre are some bots that are made just to win while some builders work that is creative or innovative sometimes goes unnoticed. Some people feel it's a little harsh to just say that you can't enter just because your bot dos'nt have something 'wacky' or 'weird' but if you made a tournament and someone built a bot that goes against the rules that you made then should they still be allowed in? I'm not seeing the big issue here that you guys are bringing up but I want to just try something a bit more original and fun for people

I really like this idea, awesome to see some encouragement for creative builds and a tourney that seems more focused on fun then just winning! I look forward to helping you with this! :mrgreen:

Tbh fission is pretty good for this. He is quite unique in his design to many bots in RA2 but I would add some colour to it just to give it some spice. Also if you made a HW Vanic that could be good for this

Vanic's a CW and if I were to make it a HW it'd be a full redesign.

It's the egg beater design which is what I think makes it stand out which would be good for this

Ok so quick update on this so it dos'nt fall into the shadows.
The limit to the amount of bots that will be in the competition will be infinite and by the time the deadline for bots being sent hits I will work out the bracket and how to do it.
Also I wanted to do faruq lines but I realized that I don't have the ability yo put it in the video so I will be doing faruq type lines on the splash which people will have to send me with their bot.
And finally the maximum amount of bots you can send me when this goes into signups is 3. This is not to say you have to enter 3 but you can.

I am thinking about making a dial up themed robot for all tournaments, or more than  70%, and it looks like this may be the 1st event its in, I am happy that it uses judges, it will not score that many actual points.

i AM happy judging is not bias, :nomorearc:

Also, when you said IRl, which meta? DSL? Thats the most common i have seen for IRl but you never specified exactly in the rules.
Title: Re: Comic-Comp [IRL HW tournament]
Post by: pokebro14 on May 26, 2018, 02:48:56 AM
Oh sorry. Yeah it's DSL small oversight as I just associate IRL with DSL
Title: Re: Comic-Comp [IRL HW tournament]
Post by: Billy5545 on May 27, 2018, 07:20:42 AM
Is it still open. And can I sign up? I might enter with a humanoid robot
Title: Re: Comic-Comp [IRL HW tournament]
Post by: pokebro14 on May 27, 2018, 10:07:15 AM
Well that's an interesting deign choice :D tight now it's in the stage of getting people interested. You can send me your bot when it goes into sign ups and don't be in a hurry because there will be brought time to enter.

I will.move this into sign ups in a few weeks it just needs time for me to get everything organized for this. I will be uploading videos every week from when it goes into sbv with 5 battles each episode with some rumbles thrown in. I will still have to do some math on how I'm going to run this so we will wait and see how many entries we get

Huh, so i can send Toxic Wedge with that interesting plan, and RedVolution... Third one is a mystery

We have ourselves a sign ups topic.  The quoted rules cannot change under law, but will probably be let changed because I'm a softy.

O K guys just some quick extra things to mention about this.
When you send me the bot also come prepared for a faruq line so I can put it on the splash. Its just a fun thing I wanted to do to make splashes somewhat interesting.
Secondly you've got until the 16th July to send me your bots so 7 weeks. Now you maybe thinking thats a huge amount of time well my aim is to get 55 entries same as battlebots reboot season 3 so I want enough time for builders to make and send their bots. If we get 55 by that time then I will close signups. I want to start this in my Summer Holiday and while I will be on trips and other stuff It will still be going.

If the bot already entered in another tournament, is it allow to enter this one?

You know how Faruq does those introductions at the start of battlebots. yeah that sort of thing

If the bot already entered in another tournament, is it allow to enter this one?
Yes

Post by: pokebro14 on June 08, 2018, 12:43:05 PM
18 bots entered so far

which despite not being much Its still better than I expected. Also remember 3 entries maximum because some people think its only 1 entry max.
oh and sending me bots on discord might help me manage bots better

Alright. List of Bots competing has been updated. Some bots I had to get rid of due to not being completley legall so what you see now is the current list of bots.


THERE ARE 9 Spaces Now

Mine will be replaced if I get 2 bots for the last 1 spot

Also Reserved is for people who im waiting on updates or have shown pictures of their build progress

Ok before the tournament starts we will be having a qualifier for last spot between
 Badger,Pip,Avalanche and Freeziez for last spot

After this I will take a bit of time to perfect AI, Make splashes and decide the fights

Here you go my dudes. After a lot of confusion about this tourney It's finally starting to get under way.
I'm not ready to move this into SBV yet as I just need to do a little more work.
Here is the qualifier to see who takes spot 48
Badjur or pip
The took around 13 tries and in everyone it havoked select this to be the best version of this fight

I know this arena has crappy editing in it by ok not using it for the event. I'm just using it here to prevent hazards deciding the fight

Why is the 37th spot empty? And I'm going to tell you that I won't join this, as I haven't finish my planned bot in time, because of how difficult it is to create something like that

I know its annoying that ive done this twice now but I dont think I should have done a tournament this large. Its been hard to manage and ive made alot of mistakes so I doubt I will go back to this.
If I ever do start another tournament I will probably do it on a smaller scale

Its alright dude. I think just starting over is less complicated. Its just AI being weird and stuff. Again I might try again someday but it will be more planned out

Just gonna be honest dude, if you quit for the second time on a tourney then people won't have much faith in you for the future. No pressure or anything but just how I can see it going. Tell us the issues troubling you. :smile:
