GTM Robot Wars Series 1
« on: May 20, 2013, 09:19:35 AM »
Hey Guys,


Just wanna see if there's any interest for a tournament I wanna plan.


Arena will be my revamped Robot Wars Arena.
The main tournament will be for heavyweights, however if anyone wants to submit any LW's for a small LW tournament feel free!


The Heavy's competition heats will consist of 4 way first round battles, then followed by 2 head-to-head battles. (Like the Robot Wars series 7 layout). For added lols, a replica bot from the pack will be added to each heat.


The Rules:


-DSL 3.0 Beta Components + These ones from the pack:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/RWComponents2.rar
-IRL Designs only (Or more 'British' robot designs, so more flipper orientated than spinner orientated like America)
-Judge Bursts will be allowed from the DSL 2.1 Pack (1 per bot)
-BFE, AAM and all that other shizz won't be allowed




Any interest? Hoping to get at least 16 competitors, any more will be highly appreciated :)


I basically want to try and replicate the whole RW tournament style in RA2 with GTM :P


Any interest?

You have gotten my interest! I was wanting a DSL 3 tournament and there you are. I have a LW, which needs a bit of tweaking... Or a complete rebuild really. HW... Well I'll get busy.

It is good that you limit judge bursts to 1 per bot. Too much builders are thinking that it's a totally legal, normally powered part.

As much as I like using them for flippers, agreed. If I do, one's enough.

Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.

On the subject of spinners, I did say that I wanted it to be more 'British' based with the designs - much more lenient in the amount of flippers and axes to spinners. I might also introduce rules to the spinners, like you're only aloud to use the duel perm if your robot has 1mm armour or something :P
