So, after hosting Robot Emperor, a thought came to me recently. I love the tourney system of challenge belt, as well as the seven weightclasses, so why not do the challenge system unofficially. So here is my idea. I plan for it to cover all seven weightclasses, with 16 entries each, single elimination, and for it to be like GTM: Open Event in frequency.
Tournament Rules:
- DSL 2.2 IRL
- Seven weightclasses (AW, BW, LW, MW, CW, HW, and SHW)
- 1v1
- Single elimination
- 16 entries for each weightclass
- One entry per person
- There will be a 16th spot playoff in case I get more than 16 entries per weightclass through some excessive sending by builders
- I can AI your bot if you can't do it yourself. It will be preferred if you send your own AI however
- Just a note for future tournament, but the system this tournament runs mean that the champion of this will have to defend their title next series against the winner of the bracket.
Build Rules:
- Maximum weight: 125 (AW), 175 (BW), 250 (LW), 400 (MW), 600 (CW), 800 (HW), and 1200 (SHW)
- DSL-IRL rules (see TheRoboteer's IRL Guide for it)
- Bots must show controlled movement
- RA2CF, OBJRA2, BFE, any Colored Components, NPC Fix, Battery AP Fix, Locked NPC's, etc allowed
- Reskinned component, and even custom component allowed, as long as they have the same, or inferior stat to an existing component, and accurate colission mesh.
- Any cheatbot2 components are allowed, as long as they are not too abusive, or are aesthetic in nature.
- Typhoon teeth limit is 6 small typhoons, and 4 large typhoons
- Mechavore and Minion Disc limit are one, while Microvore and Mini Minion Disc limit are two
- Thwackbots, SnS, and Meltybrain allowed. However, I will nerf them in the AI by setting their range value to very low so they won't be very broken. Meltybrain must also use LED's around their body to simulate RL melty AI
- Clusterbots, Minibots, and Drones allowed. In case of drones, I will use Doot's modified invisible and 0.1kg hover engine component. They must also have powered fake rotors
- Modularity allowed, in all forms, including major, minor, cluster or minibot change, and AI. Modular configs will also be unlimited.
- Shufflers and Walkers allowed. Shuffler will gain 50% weight bonus, while walker receives 100%. However, you must AI walkers yourself.
- You can send updates, or replacements as much as you want until signup ends
- for AI py, custom ones are allowed in addition to existing ones. However, no eternalflame, or other abusive AI's, including custom ones.
- In case I feel doubt about your entry, I will ask you about it. And in case I reject it, I will try to help you how to make it legal by saying what I think should be changed.
Battle Rules:
- Ring Arena (Reskinned)
- 3 minute battles
- For clusterbots, if more than 50% of their total weight is immobilized, they will be counted out.
- A bot will be given 10 seconds to show controlled movement in case they lost it, and a countdown of 10 seconds will start if they still fail to show it when the 10 seconds limit run out.
- In case of havoks, I will rerecord until there is a match with no havok. However, if the matches keep havoking even after a lot of rerecording, the one with the least havok will be used
- If the match keeps crashing or havok before a clear conclusion, like being ripped apart enough that it would be considered immobilized IRL, a judge's decision will be held
- For Judge's decision, there will be three categories of scoring, damage, aggression, and control, with 15 points each for them, for 45 points total. Those 45 points will be divided among two bots
My Entry:
I will also enter myself, leaving 15 free spots in all weightclasses
AW: Antbar Gen II
BW: Flipping Beetle Gen II
LW: OverCutter
MW: Di-Trouble Gen II
CW: V2
HW: OverChopper Gen III
SHW: OverCleaver Gen II
