You may want to rethink your cheatbot rules - many of the components are crazily overpowered. The BattleBots tournaments have a good set of allowed components, also, I'm assuming this is DSL from the cheatbot components?Okay, I was thinking about changing the list and cheatbot was the first thing that came to mind and I think I may just ban cheatbot altogether.
I think if we want to AI our own bots we should be allowed to imo.That's fine, less work for me! :)
Things are less complicated if you ban cheatbot. Perhaps allowing just the Judge Burst is a viable idea.I think I will keep the 1 Judge Motor per bot thing.
Another DSL IRL. Welp, that's another tournament I won't enter.How ironic, the person that in a way started the IRL building style won't even enter them anymore :P
IRL was intended to be a one off, I had no intention of it for it to take off as a building sub style. Stranger things have happened here :baffled:Another DSL IRL.

I like this idea with different classes on a tag team. I probably would've done something like LW & MW, or HW & SHW. But I still like how this is done.First, thank you for the positive comment and second, lightweights are 0.1kg to 249.0kg. I guess teams technically have a choice of ant, beetle or lightweight but in this case, they will be counted as lightweight.
Also do lightweights have a minimum weight class in this tournament or do they strictly have to be 249.0?

Well... Okay... I guess I'll make an exception. Go ahead. :thumbupThings are less complicated if you ban cheatbot. Perhaps allowing just the Judge Burst is a viable idea.allow the lifter motor too that is not even as good as the judge burst but i love it anyways and would love to use it

I know one person here may like the idea I have for the Lightweight entry if they can catch on to the name. "From the United States of America: Eviction Notice"I only know the weapon Eviction Notice from TF2.
This is my idea for a 'Father and Son' tournament.
Concept:
This tournament will be a tag team tournament with 8 teams of 2. The reason it is 'Father and Son' is because the teams have to be a Heavyweight robot (601-800kg) and a similar version of that robot in lightweight form (up to 249). This means that entrants will get two robots to participate with each but they need to be similar and one of them has to be heavyweight and the other has to be lightweight.
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 and every match will last 3 minutes.
Notes:
I will be doing all the AI (I may be new to the forum but I'm quite good at AIing. I have posted some evidence on my profile already that I can AI. You can AI your own bots if you wish).
Robots must be checked by me before they can be accepted. Any robots that don't meet the requirements stated will be rejected, but you can still attempt to enter with another.
Byebots will be used if necessary and I will take part in the tournament myself if I am running low on entries.
All entries will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
A final note, just because I am new the forum, doesn't mean I can't AI and organize a tournament. I will be fully dedicated to this tournament if it goes the right way.
Lol just realised yug1tom has my old avatar, what a coincidence xDWow, really? It wasn't intentional!
wew!I have a question to ask about when you want your weapons to be used. Do you want the Vlad Spikes to be the main attack and then the Shovel and Vlad Spikes to be the shrimech? This is how I will do it if you do not reply otherwise.
sos stands for son of snugglebot
dont do anything with the just spikes setting use the sewer snake esq setting and put the smartzone inbetween the spikes on the top of my botOkay, I will AI your bot and as soon as I'm done, I will inform you (you should know anyway because I am updating the entry board whenever something crops up.)
yeah thats because the lw is made out of the hw because making copies is harddont do anything with the just spikes setting use the sewer snake esq setting and put the smartzone inbetween the spikes on the top of my botOkay, I will AI your bot and as soon as I'm done, I will inform you (you should know anyway because I am updating the entry board whenever something crops up.)
P.S. A great team you have there, they're practically the same as each other.
Just to inform you on the situation, your LW is fine and is working but the HW seems to have some forward heading problems but it should be able to be fixed before 8 entries have been signed.
yeah thats because the lw is made out of the hw because making copies is hard
Don't worry about, it's just that you bot seems to go in reverse when facing forward.i entered this same bot in a tourney and received none of those problems :confused:
I imagine they fixed it themselves, yeah.I know but I had to make that change for it to work at all and now it does.
Remember, you're under no obligation to AI it amazingly, as long as it works as expected.
Sent my killer combo ;)And I have received them! Pretty good robots to say the least.
You have video editing software (sony vegas, windows movie maker, etc) and a program to record matches with, right?Of course! I'm not coming in unprepared!

Good to see a newbie who is jumping into things with the proper knowledge and not before.Thank all of you for the positive comments about me and it's because of these that I'll be sure not to let you guys down.
Oh and hey your list skips from 2 to 4.Indeed it does, I'll have to change that.
Send you my bots later.The bots you sent are successfully entered.
I'm super hyped for this.Me too. And, from the looks of the robots already sent, this will be a good tournament (especially for my first one.)

i will also help judge if that is the wayI'm super hyped for this.Me too. And, from the looks of the robots already sent, this will be a good tournament (especially for my first one.)
It should be. Also, just a quick question, how will you be deciding battles that time out? Are you going to be leaving it to points or a judges decision? If it's the latter than I'll offer my assistance if required. :)
I won't leave it to points because it is a really unreliabe system to base a match off. I will be judging the matches myself but if I think that the match is tough to decide on then I would happily have your input. However, if a match has your robot in, you won't be able to judge that match.i will also help judge if that is the wayI'm super hyped for this.Me too.

Also, robot wars rules, matches will be judged on style, control, damage and aggression.
Here's my entries:I regret to inform you that your lightweight robot is overweight by 7kg. Do you want to make some changes to make it 249kg or less?
Uhhh...Here's my entries:I regret to inform you that your lightweight robot is overweight by 7kg. Do you want to make some changes to make it 249kg or less?
In my game, it's 256kg, 7kg overweight. Is this the same for you?Uhhh...Here's my entries:I regret to inform you that your lightweight robot is overweight by 7kg. Do you want to make some changes to make it 249kg or less?
Hm, I didn't know it was overweight, I guess I somehow missed that.
I'll fix that and then re-send it to you. ;)
Edit:
I don't know about you, but it's perfectly fine in my game.
Does your copy of DSL have the right armor tab?
It may explain it.
In my game, it's 256kg, 7kg overweight. Is this the same for you?I downloaded Tommy's bot and checked and it weighs 248kg, so it must have something to do with your game.
Okay then. My game has never done anything like that before. Thanks for the verification, 090901.In my game, it's 256kg, 7kg overweight. Is this the same for you?I downloaded Tommy's bot and checked and it weighs 248kg, so it must have something to do with your game.
Starting work on a couple entries now.Good to know. Do you know when they will be done?
I JUST MADE MY BOTS TOO!Well... I do have a pair of rejected bots from Mr. AS. I don't won't any of your work to go to waste, so I could always host a side event with your bots versus Mr. AS's. Would you want this?
