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.)

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.

Iunno. Maybe.

El Chickenado · « **Reply #7 on:** July 26, 2014, 12:26:18 PM »

i dunno maybe /end sarcasm

RedAce · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2014, 01:50:38 PM »

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?

yugitom · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2014, 01:53:24 PM »

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.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:15:50 PM »

Lookin forward to it!

yugitom · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2014, 08:15:05 PM »

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.

Shield · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2014, 10:06:13 PM »

Ill try and cook something up.

Mecha · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2014, 10:23:22 PM »

I like the idea but I wish it was Stock.

yugitom · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2014, 10:44:24 PM »

You could always enter williamjones and his son.

yugitom · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2014, 07:09:41 AM »

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.
