If you have never seen the first 2, 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). *BFE is allowed to make the bot look more realistic. Using BFE otherwise will result in the bot/team being rejected.
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. *If one of your robots displays uncontrolled movement for more than 15 seconds, the team will be disqualified.
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 or *beater walls.
Notes:
I will AI if you do not wish to or cannot do it yourself.
All entries will be 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. *These bye bots will be previous entries to the tournament series. The champions from F&S 2 will automatically be entered unless nicsan2009 wants to replace or remove them.
*Maximum 24 entries and the deadline will be 1st July whenever I have sufficient entries.
Seeds:
[1] nicsan2009
[2] El Chickenado
[3] Elementos
[4] RedAce
[5] Mouldy King Bash
[6] Natster-104
Seeds are based off win-loss ratios from the first and second tournament combined. I have only seeded those who have accumulated at least one win. All other competitors will have their seed randomised. If someone on the seed list does not compete, then all others that have competed will move up a seed. (How unfortunate that it is unlikely that the top two seeds won't be entering :()
The reigning champions are I Didn't Do It and Maybe I Did (as seen to the right of the logo) built by nicsan2009.
Alright, all new rules have been labelled with an asterisk and highlighted blue. If there are any rules that you think should be abolished or added, then please say so.

Good to hear. I was going to add a poll after it was approved, anyway.
-
DSL? Awww craaaaaap.... ;_;
-
Wait, 1 judge for both LW or HW? 2 judge for the HW is the norm TBH.
Not gonna say yes yet, want this rule discussed first.

It's been this way for the past two tournaments. It has worked so far and I'm sticking with it. I mainly did this because of the walls in the BBEANS 2 Arena are quite low, so one judge burst is enough for a flipper to send someone OOTA.
-
Well... I'll see what I can do :)
-
Perhaps you should focus on finishing Robot Wars Series 8 that you took over before starting other tournaments.

I'm not starting it immediately. I'm just leaving this here until it's done :).
-
yes! i need this. this is probably the only way i can win a tournament. also, i like team stuff, so teaming in a tournament sounds cool.
-
I may enter this. If I'm not lazy.

Good to hear! May be a while, though, so you have plenty of time to make stuff in the meantime.

Sad thing is, I'm out of inspiration. By the time sign ups are done, I can only create another Hazard clone...
-
I'll enter an I sear I won't use a lazy re-entry again.
-
Are people still interested in this? Thinking about taking this into signups and then doing this in conjunction with the Robot Wars Series. My schedule is getting less tight at the moment, so I should be able to do them. Make sure to vote in the poll at the top, even if it is a 'No'.
-
I would be.

This is now a signups topic and the rules posted above may not change. You have 9 months :)
-
Thanks, Craaig :)
-
Awwwww yeh. Im gonna enter dis.
-
I'll just enter for the heck of it. :gawe:
-
why haven't i seen this before
it's a dsl STANDARD tournament for once
i will enter

uhh...
-
oh, it's irl
...so this vs in the presentation pic is irl ? mmm-hmmm
-
Go on, Nary, give it a go. Why not, hey?
-
oh, it's irl
...so this vs in the presentation pic is irl ? mmm-hmmm
yeah ive always had a problem with that bot :V
lemme see if i can make a lw version of the hw i'm toying with

At least it's not Ransaw :/ If it's IRL-ness was an issue, there would be complaints about it before now, such as when it got runner-up in the first tournament and won the second :P
-
Are people complacent when it comes to my tournaments? Come on, guys, let's not have this tournament fade into obscurity.
-
I shall work on something.
-
Me too, I think. Not much of an IRL builder mind...
-
Uhh... anyone out there that wants to enter?
-
Uhh... anyone out there that wants to enter?
I am seriously trying to work on my new tournament entries without resorting to Hurricane and Twister again. Inspiration to actually make something cool is just dead at the moment. In fact, if I don't send within the deadline, just use them and you got entries.
-
I have entered !
-
I have entered !
Quickly posting that I've acknowledged that I've received them. Will check 'em when I get to the computer.
-
Now that SnS and beater walls are out, HS and drums dominate IRL even more than they do...
Anyways, I will most likely enter. The usual wammer/flipper/flamethrower thing, I suppose.
LW will be probably not an hybrid because it's just hard.
-
G.K.'s team has been accepted.
Oh yeah, side note, I'm going to be a bit more lenient with the way the two bots look like each other from now on as I understand how it may be hard to keep the basic design and make both bots look very similar/near identical.
-
Seeing as there's a couple of other tournaments getting a lot of attention, I felt the need to remind everyone that there's still spots left here.
-
I'm still trying bro.
-
If you give me a day or two to attempt throwing *something* competitive together...?
-
ill do something for this after this will retire the snugglebot name as this is the series where it started
-
Your entries have been accepted. I'll AI them when I have mote time.
-
the main issue with me entering this tournament is that it is yet another irl tournament
no offense meant.
-
i entered an old version of snugglebot due to my incompetence and i have here the proper robots i want entered to represent the namesake. Is this fine
-
Holy carp i needa get back into GTM and RA2. I'll make a team for this tournament whenever i can.
-
oh right i need to build something for that
-
Can we still enter? Chickenado was said to be accepted but that isn't mentioned in the OP...
Yeah, you can still enter and that. I'll clean up the op on Monday because I am currently away from my home computer. I will still be okay with anyone sending entries before Monday, it will just have to be checked on Monday.
Also, Kurt received.
-
The op has been updated with 4 more entries (I said Monday but I got back a lot earlier than expected, so I had time on my hands.) C'mon, people, let's give F&S a good send off.
-
I saw that tartar made something but is tweaking it so he'll be entering I assume.
-
Squirrel_Monkey accepted and AI'ed.
-
I've made my entries, I'll skin them, ai them and send them off later today.
-
I made a couple entries tonight, and will send them in a minute.
I very little experience with DSL, and even less with IRL, so this should be interesting.
-
Conraaa accepted and AI'ed.
-
Maka accepted and AI'ed.
*Edit: Now, Mouldy's in the mix.
-
I've almost got a LW ready for this.
-
i need to build a lw for this as well

Good to hear :)
Noodle accepted and AI'ed.
-
My team has been sent.
-
My entry was sent some time ago.
-
Don't worry when tight on starts this tournament it will be done in 2 maybe 3 days
-
I thought I sent something but I didn't oops
-
how many more people need to enter this, also yugitom check your messages
-

I still have to update the entry list as I keep forgetting to do it :P As soon as I do that, you'll know.
-
Is it too late for me to enter?
-
Is it too late for me to enter?
Not at all, feel free to send entries. I'll quickly update the entry list now and I'll update it with the proper info (such as being accepted/AI'ed) later.
-
Alright, I PM'ed you my entries
-
so we need 2 more people to send something then
-
I'll enter if yall are still waiting for two people, i just need to spend a while building a LW to match my HW
-

-

Hi, Helloface.
oh hell no, i just read the thread about that person, and i am definitely not him XD
I am pretty new to the forum tho, i am always trying to get people on game ranger :P

In that case, welcome to GTM!
(Oh, and this is the 69th reply.)
-
Thanks ^^
-
Did you get my entries or not yugitom? Just curious.
-

Yes, I did and thank you. I am trying to get on top of everything atm, I really want to tidy up signups.
-
I'm so glad I came back in time for this!
You can count the 3rd seed in!
(I might make new bots, but if I don't have the time can you re-enter Machete and Pen Knife from last season yug1tom?)
I feel as if I was unlucky last series with them and they deserve revenge! :D
EDIT: Sent.
-
How many more people need to send robots?
-
Apparently Yugitom has vanished from existence XD
-
I can never find a suitable time to do this. It will be done, however.
-
It's okay man,
I'm just...
A) hyped for this as my AI actually works this time and
B) tremendously impatient. :P
-
The OP has finally received a massive overhaul with all the new entries. I have deemed KoK696's robots way too weapon spammy to enter, so I have given him the deadline of January 1st 0:00 2016 GMT to send in replacements or an updated entry. If he does manage to do this, he will replace DeadGenocide, as KoK applied before him and he was last to enter. However, DG will replace him if he fails to do this.
Sorry for the wait but I plan to have this done around the first fortnight of the new year, at least. If your entries/updates are not in the OP, simply PM me and I'll sort it out.
Merry Christmas!
-
i still want to enter but i will see
i have my hw built, I think... now time for a lw
-
sent my entries.
-
Yo, to give a quick update, I have been afflicted with a really nasty virus. I won't go into detail but let's just say I nearly passed out last night (this morning due to it. Until I have completely recovered and I am not dying, I'm afraid this will be put on hold. Now, that could be one day, it could be one week. We'll see.
-
Let's hope it is nothing too serious, get well soon man!
-
Right, it's late but I don't have anything to do tomorrow and I can't sleep. I'm going to try and get everything done and dusted by the end of this session. I have received an entry from Nary upping the entrants to 18. So, signups are now closed but I won't move on to an SBV just yet before I check his bots and AI everyone else's. Sorry for the lack of attention to this but I have had other things distract me IRL and, after I was done with them, just forgot about this :P. This will be done.
-
Right, everyone is accepted and AI'ed other than Naryar. He's got a little thing to do before I accept and eventually AI his entries. So, blame the splash being postponed on him ;)
-
#HYPE
-
Well, you sent me something about my bots being wrong quite a while after I've sent them and then give me a one day deadline... I can understand you have IRL stuff to do, though.
I'll send a better srimech.

Yeah, I am, admittedly, trying to rush the signups stage because I may run of time to do this by the end of February. But, if you need it, I am willing to extend your deadline but only if it really clashes with your IRL schedule.
-
Nah, it's fine. You're the tourney host, you call the shots.
I'm done with my srimech rebuild and yes it does look better, also it's now heavy enough to not rupt all over the place. So I'll be sending it to you in the following minutes.
-
Nary has not sent me a suitable replacement and I have warned him about that. He has been online several times since the message and he has yet to reply, so I am assuming he wishes to withdraw from the tournament. The SBV will be up soon if he neglects my warnings once more.
-
Pretty excited
-
I have AI'ed all entrants and I have their pictures ready to add to the splash but it's late and I need to do things tomorrow, so you'll see the splash at some point tomorrow.
-
how can i enter???
-
I'm pretty sure sign-ups are closed now - unless yugi wants to make an exception.
-
I'm afraid I won't be making any exceptions.
-
how can i enter???
Entries are closed for this tournament, but you might be interested in DSL3 Finale (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=18488.0). It's also IRL - styled.
Anyway, good luck with the tournament, yugitom!

Right then, let's get this done; https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=18659.msg693190 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=18659.msg693190)
