DO IT

[Mystic2000]

I have some good ideas but unfortunately i can't realize them.. and even if i could it would probably fail, like pretty much everything i'm trying to do here....

Law of the Strongest:

DSL-S HW tourney, flails and popups are banned, you can only win a match by KO, so point of the tourney is survival, as round advances, there will be more bots fighting, first 2 round will be 1vs1, 2 next would be 3-way and last 2 and finals would be 4-way, brackets for this may be quite akward and complicated, but i'm pretty sure it's doable

That looks like it would be an interesting tournament. I would certainly enter it.

Besides, you call yourself a manly warrior and yet you flee before a tournament ?

i was talikng about hosting a tourney, for sure i would enter this if it would be done

Has anyone tried to do anything with hovering robots, or is the hoverpad component too unpredictable/slow to do anything with?

[Badnik96]

Yoda did a hover tourney a while back, went down pretty well. Forgot who won.

[RFS]

I'd be up for one of those, or potentially an artillery tournament of some sort.

I have this horrible affliction where anytime someone names a Gen 1 Pokemon I will hear the rest of the Pokerap from that moment forward.

For example, the next Pokemon in line is Omanyte.

Okay, Kurt's gonna do a new tourneyament for you guys, I think it might;ve been done before but I can't remember. Here's the basic gist of it.

WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU...

DSL - Probably IRL again.
Weightclass - LW, MW, CW, and HW.

- 16 entrants in a Single Elimination bracket.
- Each entrant must send a four-strong team of robots that are pretty much the same. In Round One the Lightweights will get used, then in Round Two the Middleweights will get used, Round Three is Cruiserweights, and the Final is Heavyweights.
- Given that it's based around "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." it would make sense that way.

- Each robot must start of as a LW then slowly evolve at each weightclass it increases to.
- They must all look and function the same way, no adding a flywheel to the Cruiserweight version of a flipper robot.

Questions?

[helloface]

Sounds delicious. I'll definitely enter.

[RedAce]

Sounds like a cool idea. Although there are a few questions I have for you:


1. Do the names of these bots have to stay the same or can they have names in a style like how Pokemon evolve? Like Bulbasaur -> Ivysaur -> Venusaur and others.
2. Can these bots have different weapons as long as they stay to the original design? Like a LW bar weapon then a MW Tribar weapon etc.
3. Can these bots have an additional amount of the same weapons as they evolve? Like a CW with one flipper then a HW with two flippers?


Also, I'm not too sure about my theory, but this sounds a bit like that stock EvoBots tourney held a while back. I'll probably enter.

[Mr. AS]

Does it really have to be IRL? You've hosted THREE IRL tournies in a row this year.

[Enigm@]

Dsl-s pls

[Philippa]

1. Do the names of these bots have to stay the same or can they have names in a style like how Pokemon evolve? Like Bulbasaur -> Ivysaur -> Venusaur and others.
I dunno yet, maybe yes maybe no.

2. Can these bots have different weapons as long as they stay to the original design? Like a LW bar weapon then a MW Tribar weapon etc.
Yes, but I will be checking each to make sure they don't stray too far away from the previous robot.

3. Can these bots have an additional amount of the same weapons as they evolve? Like a CW with one flipper then a HW with two flippers?
Yep.

What the hell makes you think I would listen to him?




I might do this one later. I want to keep this one IRL because it's easier to make a team of bots and compare other people's and I don't like DSL-S I'd prefer it that way.

DSL-S tourney will come soon, dunno if I will put in something to make it interesting or if I'll just go for a boring bracket system.
