Remember there are cannons and magnets in cheatbot2 so hovercrafts can be defeated from a bot on the ground.

but to be honest I'd say have every cheatbot2 component except for hovercraft because I think that could be a whole different tournament for hovercrafts :P
Do Magnets actually work? They never did for me and the Cannon wouldn't do damage after a few shots for some odd reasons.

ever heard of a thing called servo motors they help aiming a lot.
Are you talking about the Cannon or Magnets here? Both have been on servos and like I said the cannon damage wouldn't register after a few shots, magnets would never actually pull or push something even against a LW.

are you using enough air tanks?
because both work for me fine

An idea I've had is something to the tune of you have a set bot, but YOU have to code the ai pythons for it.
I don't know how to code these myself, I'll figure it out sometime here, but I was wondering if anyone else thought this was a good idea.

For anyone who's had trouble adding polls to their tournament threads, the issue should be resolved.

Yeah, sure.

Will it have the same rules or will it have a different weightclass and/or mod this time?

Same "One of each component only." rule applies, otherwise it's not Scrapheap Challenge. Maybe DSL lightweight, maybe Ironforge somethingweight, it's been too long since I actually played the game to remember stuff.

How does one send a bot to join a tournament.

Just pm someone with a link to download your bot.
I personally like to use the bot exchange to send stuffs. Just upload it, then when you're done find it, right click, copy link address, and include that in your pm!

And said Bot Exchange is here

Superheavyweight Slamdown
Stock SHW (1200kg)
No pure HS/Popups
Meltybrain banned
Ring arena maybe idk

Thoughts? Would this garner enough interest?

It's very good but unfortunately I'm not sure on how you make an SHW lol

RedAce · « **Reply #993 on:** August 23, 2016, 07:54:36 PM »

I mean, I'd enter it. Sounds simple enough.

There should be a SHW antiballast which lowers your weight by 400 kg and when you remove it once you are done building, it can weigh around the maximum weight. There should be a link to that somewhere.

botomatic1000 · « **Reply #994 on:** August 23, 2016, 08:08:19 PM »

I have heard of it

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #995 on:** August 23, 2016, 08:12:35 PM »

I think sergepatcher lets you exceed the weight limit also

Silverfish · « **Reply #996 on:** August 23, 2016, 08:13:24 PM »

Probably in on this...

Badger · « **Reply #997 on:** August 23, 2016, 10:01:55 PM »

Another idea:

Everyone submits a chassis
I randomly assign a chassis to each person
You have to build with the chassis submitted to you
Hard Mode: I also assign you a random bot type.

Make it stock and I'm in. Heck, make it, and I'm in. (though I'd prefer stock XD)
