Nice idea but I feel the whole exclusion thing really kinda sucks and will drive the quality of your entries down tenfold.
Also no BFE = no thanks for IRL, even if I was allowed to enter, 90% of my irl stuff now uses some form of BFE for the better.

[Avalanche]

The thing is i want this to be entry level. Nobody deserves to be thrown in with people who simply are brilliant.
This is so they can learn whether their design has a flaw they havent noticed.

[cephalopod]

If people are brilliant they shouldn't be tryharding an IRL tournament and just entering something super cool looking, but okay.
I'll remain concerned over the matters previously mentioned but that's just going to happen regardless with these restrictions.

[martymidget]

Eh, it's better for standard building. Getting rid of all the coloured names will get rid of most of the people who care about making the bot look good, not winning.

[Naryar]

lol what ? no coloured usernames ? this is silly, this is an IRL tournament after all so WINNING isn't that important

also have fun with your sh**ty irl builds because no skilled irl builder will enter

[Avalanche]

Rank restriction removed.

[Philippa]

Rank restriction removed.

Good job.

If you are using smartzones, use the ones in DSL 2.1 or dont.

Bad job.

[Naryar]

If you are using smartzones, use the ones in DSL 2.1 or dont.

Bad job.

yeah, just get Madiaba's smartzones on your DSL 2.1 copy... the DSL2 smartzones are sorely lacking

[Avalanche]

Rule removed, but whats wrong with the dsl 2 ones?

[Naryar]

madiaba smartzones are vastly superior because vastly more practical and varied.

[Avalanche]

Added poll, if it reaches 6 yes votes then i will proceed to signups.

[helloface]

No BFE = No entry

[Avalanche]

Rule Changed.

[cephalopod]

Right I'm just gonna go over your rules to fix them up

8 entrants.

Little small but okay

Exception of BFE for chassis shape

No external editing at all - BFE, AAM.

Oh. Also I'd recommend just allowing BFE for realistic purposes... makes everything less awkward, because you're not gonna know if I attached a flipper segment that the game wouldn't let me for some reason, but it looks like it should've, via BFE.

No scuttlers, crawlers or walkers.

Why no walkers? Surely if someone gets creative and builds an actual decent walker, that's to be commended?

Most of this is just suggestions but yeah.

This is now a signups topic. The rules above may NOT change, and you have 3 months to complete the tournament.
Good luck. :)

[Avalanche]

Changed name of tournament, when editing you put it in signups. Will change name of thread.

[cephalopod]

That's because you asked me to put it in signups, and the post above yours says I put it in signups...
So it's in signups.
Technically you shouldn't be changing the name. But whatever, it's pretty minor.

[Avalanche]

I started changing the name before i saw your post.
EDIT:
Received HurricaneAndrew.

[cephalopod]

And NOW you've edited in your entry?
You're REALLY meant to do that BEFORE signups open - you never said you were entering.
Dat track record you mentioned...
