Its a havok. If they do not protect the weaponary enough and it breaks and allows it to havok, they have failed.
I think its just the power that makes it go outside the fixed range and swinging the weapon 360 making the bot catapulting. Maybe I've just been unlucky when testing and this is not as common as I think.
Yes, it's the power of the Judge burst doing that. You need to put at least 30kg or so on it to prevent it havoking.
Clusterbots (max 2) are allowed with the limitation that the bots has to be copies of each other. If one on the two bots is immobilised, then both are considered out.

The limitation and the rule, but mostly the "If one on the two bots is immobilised, then both are considered out." because it's just dumb imo. I honestly don't see any point at all behind that rule.

I honestly don't see any point at all behind that rule.The reason behind is that I believe clusterbots is just a tad overpowered. Some doesn't allow them at all but I wanted to give people the option to enter clusterbots but that there had to be some kind of drawback. The rule itself is taken from Robot Wars and I think it fits well here since the AI targets on distance rather on which bot is the most injured so theres no "abusement" of the rule. But Im willing to change it if a majority wants it.
Okay, from looking at your entry you have on the front page, I wouldn't classify that as IRL because it's a face spinner that spams razors in a manner that would belong in DSL-S. If you want to keep the style of the weapon as have it look a bit more IRL, try something like Craaig's Drill-bot. Other than that, It should be fine.
Yeah, RedAce is right. It looks great but I don't think I could move this to signups as an IRL tournament if that's your entry.
I created IRL just as a one-off, I never intended it to have taken off as much as it did.
So I've decided to run my first tournament. It will be a small tournament so make sure you're ready to grab a spot once its up Tournament format: 8 entrants will be split up in to 2 groups by random. Matches will be 1v1 round-robin. The winner from each group will go straight to semi-finals without fear of facing each other. Bot 2 and 3 of each group will also move on, while the last bot from each group will be out of the tourney. If two bots end up on the same score, general RR rules apply. If 3 bots end up with the same score, then a tie-breaker will be held (1v1v1) The bot that gets eliminated first (or if times up, score the lowest amount of points) will finish last of the three, then general RR rules apply. The bot finishing second in each group will then fight against third placed bot from the other group to decide the other two semifinalists. Screenshot to hopefully help out with the explanation: All matches will be one round. In round-robins this small, tie-breakers are not uncommon, so be prepared. General Rules:DSL 2.1Ruleset - DSL IRLWeight class - Heavyweight "HW" (up to 800.0 kg)8 entrantsOne entry per person.Bots has to be AI'd before sent.If your bot is declined, you will have 48h to send a updated version before loosing your spot in queue. If the updated version is once again declined you'll loose your spot.You're not allowed to update your bot once it has been approved unless there's a rule change.Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted.Champion: Tournament Champion will be awarded with fireworks and a decal. The winning bot will automatically enter the (hopefully) second installment of FullImpact. The builder will receive a second spot as well. (up for discussion)Bots that didn't make it out the group stage are not allowed to enter future FullImpact tournaments without serious changes.Building Rules:Weight class: Heavyweight "HW" (up to 800.0 kg)Realistic rule. From what I understand, Most seem to have come to terms regarding this, to me , somewhat subjective style. The entries for The Great Round Robin 2 https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16577.0 gives an indication of what kind of entries I expect for FullImpact.In-game glitches are allowed since I doubt one can abuse it without breaking realistic rule, pls let me know if this ain't the case. BFE is allowed for chassis design as long as bot stays realistic. All other external editing is forbidden. Clusterbots (max 2) are allowed, their combined weight shall not exceed 800.0 kg. No custom components except Madiaba's Smart Zones v3.No armour attached to the underside of the baseplate.No NarmourCheatbot2 components: MOE motor, Judge Burst (max 2) Battle rules:3 minute matches.Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament ArenaHazards On.Judging will be scored by points.If havok, match will be restarted. If the same bot causes havok two times in a row during a match that bot will be disqualified, loosing the match. This rule only applies during group stage.I will only enter if necessary. My entry is Forester Did I miss anything? edit: BFE allowed for chassis design, one cheatbot2 component added, baseplate armor restriction and poll on weight class should be up any minute.edit: Heavyweight is the weight class of choice, judge burst allowed, 2 declined entries in a row looses your spot in queue. edit: added my entry in case were one short. replaced TripleXS with Foresteredit: removed both restrictions to clusterbot entries. also changed havok rule so that disqualification only applies in group stage to prevent a final ending with a disqualification due to havok which would suck.
