Here it is!
If you have never seen F&S 1, here's the gist. You must enter with two bots, one heavyweight, the other lightweight. They must look very similar/identical to give the father-son impression.
Rules:
Both robots must fit the weight limit.
All robots are to be made in the botlab of DSL 2.1 (no custom components or editing the bot outside of the botlab but custom smartzones are allowed).
The IRL rule is being used (so no robots you wouldn't see in real life).
Due to the above rule, the inside of the robot remains IRL as well (in other words, no stacking of battery packs, etc.)
Full body spinners and multibots are banned.
No use of glitches whatsoever.
Cheatbot2 is banned (however, one Judge Burst Motor per bot is allowed.)
The robots must have at least 2 wheels touching the ground and can show controlled movement. However, if the robot is a walker, this rule does not apply and it gets a 100kg weight increase.
Any Havok Explosions that occur will result in the match being restarted. When one team have caused the match to restart due to Havok Explosions more than twice, that team is disqualified.
The BBEANS 2 arena will be used (hazards on) and every match will last 3 minutes.
No SnS. (The only new rule)
Notes:
I will AI if you do not wish to. If you simply cannot AI, then tell me how you want the robot to work and I will make it so.
All entries checked on a first-come first-served basis.
Byebots will be used if necessary and I will take part in the tournament myself if I am running low on entries.
16 entries and there will be no real deadline.
Seeds:
[1] El Chickenado
[2] nicsan2009
[3] RedAce
[4] Mouldy King Bash
[5-8] Elementos
[5-8] TommyProductionsInc
[5-8] 090901
[5-8] helloface199
If the people listed as '5-8' join, I will choose their seed based on how I think there robot will do.
The reigning champions are Snugglebot Evolution and his son, Son of Snugglebot (as seen in the logo.)

1. Natster-104 w/ Megabyte + Byte 2
2. RedAce w/ Hurricane + Twister

Orange - I have received your entry and I am about to check it.
Blue - Your entry has passed checking and is going on to AI.
Green - Your entry is accepted.
Red - Your robot has a problem (you'll stay on the list until it's fixed but you can be replaced.)
I will notify anyone who hasn't passed checking and ask them whether they want to try again or leave the tournament.
-
Time to work on a LW side-hammer thing then :P
-
Good to hear!
-
The team of megabyte and byte is ready
-
Remember, if you gonna join, be sure to answer 'Yes' to the poll.
-
Properly entering this.
-
Iunno. Maybe.
-
i dunno maybe /end sarcasm
-
I feel like I could enter this like the last one, just probably with new entries than the last ones.
One question: Will there the same amount of entries as last time or more this time around?
-
I'm aiming for more but I'm gonna see how much interest this gets in a couple of days, maybe a week and I'll see how many I should be hoping for.
-
Lookin forward to it!
-
Me too. It's the holidays, so I get more time to dedicate myself to this. It's uni after this though. I may not be on as much.
-
Ill try and cook something up.
-
I like the idea but I wish it was Stock.
-
You could always enter williamjones and his son.
-
Alright, I have set the tournament at 16 entries and I believe everything is fine to go to signups, as I have more than half the votes I need already.
-

Think I'm gonna do that. :D

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. You have 3 months, enjoy :)
-
the die has been cast
-
Yeah I'll enter.
-
Thanks, Craaig. I'll be checking entries in a bit as I'm out right now.
-
Expect entries from me. Wanna keep a high seed if possible and actually do well this time around. Also, by "Full-body Spinners" do you mean shell spinners or are we not allowed to enter a bladde that goes around the entire chassis on a DSL Bar like Tornado Mer?

Propeller Head type spinners are fine, as RedAce did enter the first one with a team of top spinners. Shell spinners are banned though.
-
Cool, I'll get my entries in soonish.
-
RedAce received, accepted and AIed.
-
Natster-104 and El Chickenado received, accepted and AIed.
-
Here's my entries:
-
TommyProductionsInc and Kurt Wylde received, accepted and AIed.
-
TBD Devastator received, accepted and AIed. 10 spots left.
-
My entries are to be in today, just need to finish up the AI.
-
Good to know I have another of the original eight back in.
-
Entries sent. Let's hope my AI works. XD
-
Elementos received, accepted and AIed. 9 spots left.

-
Acid Thunder and Acid Cloud have been remade. They'll be entering.
-
Mouldy King Bash received, accepted and AIed. 7 spots left.
-
Correct me if I am wrong, but is the distinction between a thwack bot and an SnS that a thwack bot is mobile and only attacks when in range and the SnS will spin until the game starts to count it out? Or are the two terms synonymous?

I don't believe it's the latter and they are two slightly different bot types but in the rules of this tournament, I like to think that they come under the SnS category.
-
Elementos updated. C'mon, dudes, let's get some more teams in!
-
This is one of those tournaments where i'm being really impatient and just want it to happen like now. XD
-
You're not alone, mate. I may cut signups short when I hit 12 entries or something.

Or allow double-entrants; I know Atom and Molecule would like a second bite of the cherry.
-
Tempting... I will think about it.

i have some other bots i could use
-
I would need six of the 10 people that already entered for that to work though. I don't know whether that is a stretch or not. Anyway, I will give other people a chance to enter for now before I give people second entries. S.H.I.E.L.D received, accepted and AIed.
-
Sounds like a plan. :thumbup
-
I'm gonna enter.
-
I'm gonna enter.
:thumbup
-
Just to let you guys know, Dezox's entry is a joke entry. So, for now, his entry will act as a bye of sorts. When all places are filled, I will give an additional day for anyone to replace his entry. If no one does, he stays in the tournament. Also, regarding the two entries thing, I may ask Craaig for the :thumbup tomorrow (later on today, it's half 1 in the morning for me.)
-
090901 received, accepted and AIed. 4 spots left.
-
So close now...Let's hope the AI I spent two days perfecting works out for me.
If not then I wasted my time so hard XD

Your robots do pack a punch. You could go far.
-
All I want is to win one fight Via OOTA. That'll satisfy me nicely.
(Sure winning the whole thing would be nice but I'm pretty sure I'll get destroyed fairly quickly.)
-
ill just leave these here

Secondary entries haven't been accepted yet.
-
I like how it's only been one week and people are already calling for secondary entries. :laughing

:P In all honesty I wanted to enter my original two again, but I thought I'd switch it up. The only reason I wanted secondary entries is so I could enter my original two instead, without having to have wasted my time with other two XD
-
Don't be too hasty, El Chickenado, but I appreciate the eagerness, ha ha. Give it a bit longer then I may ask for second entries.

no but they're there in case you need them ;)
-
I'll wait a bit more and then I'll ask if second entries are okay sometime tomorrow.
-
Okay, I don't want anyone to be able to enter a second entry because I don't want anyone to have a better chance than anyone else but it came to this. The top 4 seeds are able to enter a second entry. El Chickenado has been received and nicsan's entry is already AIed as it entered the previous F&S. MKB and RedAce, you both have second shots.
Edit: MKB already AIed and accepted.
-
Seems fair enough.
-
Seems fair enough.
Glad you understand.
Anyway, with MKB, Nicsan and El Chickenado accepted, there is one official space open. As I have said before, when signups are full, I will give everyone a good amount of time to replace Dezox's joke bot. If no one gives me a bot by then, his entry stays (no late entries too.)
-
Mechadino received! If he is accepted (which he is now), there is only one chance left. The final entry can only be sent to me by 13:00 BST.

I wanna give people who want to be a serious a chance... (Mechadino is an exception because williamjones is a beast.)

Signups closed! SBV will be made when I come back from going out.

The SBV thread is up.
