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.

1. G.K. - Sleek 2 and Sluck 2
2. El Chickenado - Snugglebot Legacy and Snug-Spawn

Good to hear. I was going to add a poll after it was approved, anyway.

DSL? Awww craaaaaap.... ;_;

Avalanche · « **Reply #4 on:** February 17, 2015, 08:07:58 AM »

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.

Tibsy · « **Reply #6 on:** February 17, 2015, 08:20:05 AM »

Well... I'll see what I can do :)

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2015, 02:57:52 PM »

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...

RedAce · « **Reply #13 on:** April 03, 2015, 07:35:04 PM »

I'll enter an I sear I won't use a lazy re-entry again.

yugitom · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2015, 03:43:32 PM »

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'.

helloface · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2015, 04:36:30 PM »

I would be.
