Title: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on December 13, 2010, 04:33:01 AM
Just a nice idea I had.

RULES:
1: Only cheatbot component allowed is a Judge Burst Motor and Smart Zones.
2: DSL 2.1 Heavyweight
3: Only flippers allowed. No other weapons at all.
4: Clusterbots are allowed, but both bots weights combined must be Heavyweight. Also, only 2.
5: An entirely original creation. A remake of a succesful robot is fine, but I don't want Second Sentinel appearing or any other flipper bot.
6: DSL Tourney Arena with Hazards off.
7: Realism rule applies.
8: You can skin your bot, but don't leave me to do it, I am hopeless at skinning but I will AI. If you can though, I will be very grateful.
9: Aiming for about 32 entries. Double Elimination
10: You can change your entry as much as you please until sign ups close. After then, you CANNOT change.
11: I might need some help recording battles. Can someone help me?
12: AAM or Bot file editing is not allowed.
13: Wheels or tracks ONLY.
14: Glitches may be exploited apart from random Havok explosions.
15: Please attach your own smart zones. Custom smart zones are not allowed.
16: Rumble fights are to fought with the 4 highest finishing non finalists.
17: BBEANS Restart rules apply.
18: In case of time running out (which is 2 minutes) A jury will decide who wins. PM me if you wish to a be a jury. Matches are best 2 out of 3.
19: No popups, that's not staying in the spirit of things.

I will add rules later if you wish.

Isn't that what points are for?

no way... full frontal mayhem.

Post by: JoeBlo on December 13, 2010, 06:41:17 AM
unless they are weaponed flippers, points are very inaccurate

I can AI, and upload but I need a good recorder. I have used Gamecam before and it is VERY slow.
Also, the reason I have a jury is because flippers are non damaging weapons.

Depends. Do you allow weapons on flippers or not ?
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on December 13, 2010, 07:33:12 AM
I'll allow a max of 6.
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy

I also firmly suggest that you remove judge bursts out of the equation.
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: powerrave on December 13, 2010, 08:02:28 AM
judge is overpowered. you can just smell that everyone would be using that.

judge burst popups  :gawe:

I'll enter with a Havok!

Also, why can't we skin?

good question. nothing wrong with a skinned chassis, right?

Nope. I'll be using Beta's with spammed amounts of ants.  :gawe:

Same...

Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on December 14, 2010, 04:03:08 AM
I've decided to allow skinning. But please, do it yourself, I tried skinning a few bots and it went awfully wrong.
Also, no popups, that's not staying in the spirit of things.

Post by: Naryar on December 14, 2010, 08:45:21 AM
Read the rules better, KM. We can skin, and i don't know why the heck he put that skinning rule.
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: Stagfish on December 14, 2010, 10:56:24 AM
Skinning the chassis doesnt require any files being added to the game...

Post by: Naryar on December 14, 2010, 11:53:28 AM
Before I get a popup into this by calling it a weaponed flipper, say exactly what a popup is.
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on December 15, 2010, 03:32:02 AM
A popup is a robot that goes out of it's way to damage other robots. The aim of the game is to throw your opponent OOTA, not destroy them. Plus it's not staying in the spirit.

Is it IRL realistic or DSL realistic?

Also, INB4 Substratum 4 wins this

Post by: 70 CUDA on December 15, 2010, 05:24:17 AM
ok so i CAN have a weaponized flipper as long as it has less the 6 weapons.............(runs off to the bot lab to work it out)
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: SteveM4 on December 15, 2010, 10:35:03 AM
So... A bata with a titanium plate + two beater bars on each side is legal

Is a spike-strip wedge legal, it doesn't do much damage, nothing noticeable.

 :idea2:
If the robot is destroyed, the match is restarted. If destroyed again, the robot which destroys the other is out.
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: SteveM4 on December 15, 2010, 12:00:40 PM
Mine cant get over 1,500 dp in one match!

yeah, I'll sent Havok 13 (Maybe by then 15) to you if this starts.

What? The robot that destroys the other is eliminated?
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: SteveM4 on December 15, 2010, 12:02:42 PM
Its about flippers, not destruction.

If you've made a proper flipper, it shouldn't destroy the opponent at all
Title: Re: Flipper Frenzy
Post by: powerrave on December 15, 2010, 12:06:28 PM
them make the rules so that damaging components are NOT allowed.

May you please not post in tournament discussions that are more then a month old.
Also, maybe you want to start a showcase so we can help you improve your bots.
