Should you also limit how many flamethrowers you can have? Maybe like 4-6 I think.

Having more flamethrowers doesn't mean more damage, it just means you burn through your gas supply that much more quickly. I personally never have more than two....I'm assuming eternalflame.py will be banned, right?
Interesting idea, I might give it a go if it happens. Are the flamethrowers from cb2 allowed and are we allowed to put the flamethrowers on turrets?
A tournament with no active weapons sounds about as exciting as pulling teeth.
Well I get to name a bot Barbecue Flavah and have it make sense for once, so I'm in.

(where tf did you get these arenas) Uh sure?
this is a supremely bad ideaflamethrowers cannot break other robot's parts off and can't KO chassis, meaning this tournament is going to basically be weaponless boxes smacking into eachother repeatedly with the loser being worn out due to flamethrower damage to the motors slowing the robot to a crawl.the only way this will work is if you make it a Flamethrower Hybrid tournament where robots must use flamethrowers alongside a second weapon type, with a strict weight limit on how much weaponry the second system can have (75-100kg maybe?)

Jesus christ you're a rockI want to try something newAll there is on GTM is the same tournament under a different nameThere's doing a gimmick properly (Colour Clash, Chassis Swap-Up) and then there's banning all active weapons because uNiQuE.A tournament being unique doesn't make it good. Some ideas aren't done because they're terrible ideas
