Dynamic Duos - Signups

[RedAce]

The main gimmick of this is that there will two bots per entrant, one MW and one LW. It'll be a tag team tournament where they will fight as like a hero and sidekick if you will. You can make any kind of duo from your own creativity or from one that represents something in a pair of two.

RULES:
- DSL-S MW and LW
- 16 Entrants
- 2 Bots per entrant (1 MW and 1 LW) is required to enter
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot (You can't change the AI after the signups close. If you want to AI, make sure you're happy with it.)
- You cannot enter unless your bots are received and accepted
- I will only accept entries via PM
- You cannot try to find any loopholes in the rules

BUILDING RULES:
- DSL-S MW (249.1 399.0) and LW (175.1-249.0) Only
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, txt file editing, etc.
- No cheatbot2 parts or custom components at all.
- Bots must have at least two wheels and show controlled movement
- Crawlers and Multibots are banned.
- Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots are not allowed.
- You can update your bot as much as you please until signups end

BATTLE RULES:
- 2 vs 2 match format
- 3 minute length matches
- Double Elimination Bracket
- DSL Tournament Arena, hazards on (Reskinned)
- If one robot havoks once, costing the match that bot gets a free restart, If it happens again, that bot will be disqualified (Same rules apply If one bot loses for a dumb reason, like getting stuck or sitting in one place)
- Judging will determined by the damage points at the end of the match
Arena:

This will also be the concept splash.

Ant Annihlators for me.

[Jonzu95]

Voting for Ants. It's been too long time since we've had Antweight Tournament.

[R1885]

Would vote for ants but you ruined it with IRL, so going with duos.

[Mr. AS]

CW

IRL Style Building

Which one is the lesser of two evils?

[Naryar]

antweights  = projectile vomiting

no, DSL-S CW please

[Jonzu95]

antweights  = projectile vomiting

filthy casual

[RedAce]

no, DSL-S CW please

Honestly, when's the last time we even had something like that though?

DSL IRL AW? Can't really comprehend it.

Voted for DSL-S CW. The underappreciated weightclass.

[Naryar]

antweights  = projectile vomiting

filthy casual

says the guy who can't build anything else than generic irl designs

and no, antweights are indeed boring in building... you have absolutely no weight to build with

Then why not make it beetle weight and call it Beetle-Brawler

(Image removed from quote.)

The main gimmic of this is that there people will two weightclasses as their entrants, HW and CW, It'll be a tag team tournament where they will fight as like a hero and sidekick if you will. You can make any kind of duo from your own creativity or from one that represents something in a pair of two.

RULES:
- DSL-S HW & CW
- 16 Entrants
- 2 Bots per entrant (1 HW and 1 CW) is required to enter
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot (You can't change the AI after the signups close. If you want to AI, make sure you're happy with it.)
- You cannot enter unless your bots are received and accepted
- I will only accept entries via PM
- You cannot try to find any loopholes in the rules

BUILDING RULES:
- Cruiserweight bots (399.1 - 600.0 kg) and Heavyweight bots (600.1 - 800.0 kg)
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, txt file editing, etc.
- No cheatbot2 parts or custom components at all.
- Bots must have two wheels and show controlled movement
- Each robot must be the same type. (For example, You can't have a Hammer CW and a Hammer/Rammer hybrid HW for your duo)
- Crawlers and Multibots are banned.
- Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots are not allowed.
- You can update your bot as much as you please until signups end

1)But that's part of the fun! Your rules should be airtight anyway.
2) I'm not sure if you meant "At least 2 wheels here", but when you get into CW+ where robots can actually have more than 2 wheels without sacrificing somewhere else then this seems like it's hurting the HW's a bit.

That's what I meant with the two wheels bit, that parts fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out.

You do know RedAce has already run 2 Beetleweight tournaments this year right?
I prefer the Duos idea but I don't know if I'd enter having not built DSL-S in a while, so I'm not gonna vote.

[Naryar]

About Dynamic Duos, I think it would be more interesting if you lax a bit the rule about similar bot types so we CAN actually enter a rammer and a rammer/hammer (and we can enter 2 rammers), but not a pure hammer and a pure rammer.

So the duo must at least share a bot type.

So if we actually choose to build hybrids (and i probably will) we're not obliged to build the same exact hybrid in the other weightclass.

[Conraaa]

I agree with Naryar. Give us some flexibility when building.

[RedAce]

I see where you are going, so that has been fixed in the first post.

I wouldn't know besides I'm not into ra2 meta game and tournaments because I never felt motivated.

[RedAce]

Okay, I thought it through for a bit and decided not to limit your choices on building and gave you the option to build either the same bot type or different bot type for Dynamic Duos. If you actually don't me doing this, then I'll switch it back.
