DISCLAIMER: This tournament may only be up for discussion and may not enter the signups phase because of the things I need to take care of in my life. If I do happen to get to this tournament, it will take a while for it to happen, or I will be allowing someone else who is willing to take this over and change any rules if they wish.
I was kind happy with how Robots in Space worked out in the end. There was some interest and I thought a sequel might not hurt to try and fix the errors from the first tournament. Also, I'm gonna try to actually give some sort of back story on this tournament and the last tournament to explain what's actually happening in this.
Robots in Space 1: In the distant future year of 3500, there was a group of scientists known as the Alpha Researchers and they found this species of combat robots where they can not only fight on their own mind, but think differently than a normal robot. As this is going on, the Omega Force is attempting to take down the Researchers to become the rulers of the universe. This war between these two federations has been going on for centuries with the Omega Force attempting to turn the civilized universe to a delinquent facility. The Alpha Researchers have had enough of the war and have agreed to find the best robots they have been studying to destroy the Omega Force once and for all with the help of two robots they have been doing research on to defend themselves against the Omega Force.
Robots in Space 2: The Omega Force has declared defeat from the final battle against the Alpha Researchers. As the Research team departs from the battle 7 years after the war, they set their research facility spaceship back on a course to Earth, however, they encounter a dangerous asteroid belt during their journey. After a fatal blow from a stray asteroid and crash land on a distant planet known as Zetatris. The ship's battery is now highly damaged and is not safe to use to power up the ship After a few months of studying the planet and it's organisms, they find a brand new class of combat robots that behave very similarly to the ones they studied years ago. The military base has the soldiers go through training on in a power plant with an electric fence and the source of power below with highly unstable plasma contained in a generator to contain it. The researchers then ponder if they can use the plasma in special rods to power up the ship and depart back to Earth. The researchers also would like to bring back the robots to study their combat efficiency and ability to survive, however, they can only bring one with them since the ship does not have enough power to carry all the robots, so the Alpha Researchers will have another tournament to see which is the best robot.

- Once your bot is accepted, you can only send a MAJOR update it ONCE (Like completley changing your entry from HS to Popup), so be careful. (This rule will not apply to bots that have a problem or are rejected. If the updated bot is not allowed or having an issue, the first bot which has been accepted will stay until a fix is sent.)
Multibot Rules:There will be some special portion for multibots if you wish to enter them. Here's how it works:
-The maximum number of multibots allowed is 2.
-Both bots must stay within 399.0.
-Bots can weigh differently as long it does not go over the weight limit. For example, you could send a MW multibot at 175.0 and 224.0 kg.
-Both bots must defeated by KO, TKO, WBP, or a Forfeit to move on.
-Only one of the two bots will compete in the Annihlator and the heaviest will compete.

*(Prizes will be made)

Virus Bomb (2):
090901 (2):
The Ounce (1):
Tibsy (1):
- 2 minute length matches
- 1 vs. 1 Battle Format
- Best of 3 Rounds
- The Arena will be the Electric Arena 2 (Reskinned, Hazards on)
- If there is a battle with Multibots, then it will be fought in the Electric Arena 2T Arena (Same as above arena except Multibots will start side by side.)
Wildcard:Unlike last time, there will be a Wildcard bracket. For those unfamiliar with them and how they worked in tournaments of the past, here's the gist of this one:
- The Wildcard Tournament will have the last four entrants to send their legal bots, so first come, first serve for the main tournament spots
- If I happen to receive more than 4 bots and have less than enough bots so that two bye bots don't fight against each other, then it will be one giant Wildcard tournament to decide the last tournament spot.
- These fights will be added to your rankings
- The four entrants will fight in a Round Robin tournament and who ever wins the most rounds, or the most points at their last round will take the last spot in the main tournament. Points will be scored are scored like this:
- Wins KO's and TKO's earn you 3 Points
- Wins by Match Score will earn you 2 Points
- Wins by Forfeits will score you 1 Point
Annihilator:At the end of the main tournament, there will be a Bonus Annihilator Battle as a replacement for the rumble. All above match rules applies here. This is how it works:
- The rumble participants will be the top four bots that aren't the finalists.
- They will be decided by the bots who score the most KO's, TKO's, and WBP's.
- If there is a 2-4 way tie for the fourth spot, a one round battle royale will determine the winner of the last spot.
- Any KO's, TKO's, and WBP's will count towards their rankings.
- The Round format will work in an Annihilator battle style format. (For example, suppose the bots were TOG, DRIII, CAH 2, and 4AM Bot. Now Imagine that in the first round, 4AM Bot gets gets beaten. The next round begins will begin without the eliminated bot. (In this case: 4AM Bot) This process continues until one bot is left standing.
Restart Rules:The rules about restarting the match will be a little more clear this time. More than one of the below criteria can happnen and not penalize you. If once, that bot gets a Free Restart. If Twice, that bot will forfiet the match if any of the folling criteria occurs:
-Havok Restart: The bot does a Hazok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent.
-Second Chance Restart: If the loss was from being pinned, getting stuck for a reaon
- A)It has controlled movement.
- B)It has enough battery life for it to actually matter.
- C)The control board warning is not is on yellow or below.
If none of the above is met, then the first match will be the final result of the match.
My entries will be shown once all the polls are finished and we are all set and ready to go.
If I think of an idea or plan in this tournament that would seem like a cool idea, I will post an announcement about the idea to discuss. Also, all kinds of feedback, criticism, and interest will be appreciated. Thank you.
