Title: Harder Better Faster Stronger Signups
Post by: russian roulette on May 20, 2010, 09:15:49 PM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43198Untitled-2.png)
While most tournaments pit robots against each other. This will be the first where it tests a robot's endurance. This would be in a style of more like a reality show where a robot will get eliminated each week by the testing in the arena it will go through.
Tests will include,
-The Small Arena's Crusher (Armor)(Time Alive / Hits From The Cusher= Score)
-Resistance to Popups (HnM 4 would make a great contender)
-Battery Life (Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth)
-SHRiMech Speed (No invertability)
-Flame Pits (The time when all drive motors are burnt = Score)
-Resistance to flail razors (Time destroyed = Score)
-Speed+Tourque (fastest time across the joust arena/ the overall torque of the bot)
-Face off w/ a random Nar AI (2.0) robot (Most likely going to be the championship round)

This cannot be completely AIed but some of the tests can be feasible though SOME AI

Building Rules
1.No crawlers
2.No weapons
3.No invertability
4.Must have a SHRiMech
5.No wedges
6.No BFE or AAM
7.No custom components
8.No cheatbot2 parts
9.MUST build to the weight limit (795+)
10.No Darkrat parts
11.No Castor Armor
12.No Heavy or Steel V plows
13.1/2 Sheets or Other Armor cannot be mounted directly to the baseplate
14.DSL NOT Nar AI
15.DSL HW
16.No More Than 2 Upgrades (Specified Fixes Don't Count)
17.Bots will be due May 30-June 7

Bracket Layout
   This is not a "first come, first serve" tournament. Instead, I would allow any amount of robots from different users to be able to qualify. BUT, ONLY 10 will qualify.
   The ten will be selected by under going the traumatic "Small Arena Crusher" qualifying times (time when the bot is completely destroyed) will be posted and videos of each bot qualifying would be put up for people who think I fudged with the times.
   To make viewing more easier, the arena a robot is in will be skinned with something that would represent their robot.
   In every show (after qualifying) there is a battle and a treatment, the battle will represent a random Nar AI HW vs the victims. The robot that survives the longest with their randomly chosen robot will be exempted from the treatment.
   The treatment could take as long as it can, depending on how well a robot is doing. The robot that preforms the worst, would have to go through a penalty round consisting of a certain benchmark needing to be obtained, in contrast to the original treatment. When a robot fails a penalty round, they are eliminated.

The arenas will go as follows:
The Small Arena
The Combat Zone
The Robot Wars Arena
The Ring Arena (NOT SERGE'S)
The Test Arena
The Bot Lab
Dummy's Think Tank

Any more questions?

@Freezies
3 things,
1. wedges aren't allowed.
2. Please PM me the link
3. It takes less work putting file on the GTM file host, than putting it as an attachment.

Revised rule 13.
Freeziez is accepted, Shish isn't... yet.

Darn there goes my idea. I guess I have to make it taller because the Beta Burst also acts the same as the Multi Extenders.

Please use DSL components and keep away from custom components, they make my game crash and it is f*cking annoying. Please be considerate before playing another joke like that.

No more custom components will be tolerated, automatic disqualification if it happens again.
*EDIT* Bumping the due date to June 9th.

Can you PM me a picture of the back of the bot? I'm still reluctant that that is an ant battery.

LS43, you're lucky to be in the open air. I would have thought that Naryar would have eaten you by now.

BTW Russian, that IS an Ant battery, but he's breaking the rules using a DDT.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Signups
Post by: Naryar on June 03, 2010, 02:23:58 AM
I wouldn't even eat him, that might poison me with fail.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Signups
Post by: russian roulette on June 03, 2010, 05:59:33 AM
@G.K. That's probably why.
@LiftyShift43 I'll give you 1 more chance to use ONLY DSL parts and DSL parts only, no stock or by the looks of it from your screen shot, Lu-Tze components. If you can't get in a robot that doesn't crash my game, I think you should start a showcase before entering tournaments like this.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Signups
Post by: somestrangeguy on June 03, 2010, 06:12:56 AM
I just had a look at the bot file, here is a list of the txt files for components.

Components\awpcboard.txt

Components\piglet2.txt

Components\WP836E.TXT
Components\ballast1.txt

Components\ballast1.txt
Components\ballast1.txt
Components\awbatt.TXT
Components\dslsnowplow1.txt

Man thats alot of ballasts.
The reason why its crashing your game is appearnetly the burst motor, that is not the stock DDT.

this time theres IS ONLY dsl parts no stock no custom
 
& plus the ballast only has 2 (1 40kg & 1 50kg)
 
now have a look & that IS a Ant battery

You've used more custom components!
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Signups
Post by: Stagfish on June 03, 2010, 03:23:08 PM
the extender is a custom, the burst is stock and i'm not sure but I think that plow is custom.

LiftyShifty, even Antweight bots (Max. 125 kg) could beat that piece of crap.
Title: Re: Harder Better Faster Stronger Signups
Post by: somestrangeguy on June 03, 2010, 05:09:30 PM
Custom parts on this: burst motor, extender and smartzone ballast.

This is going nowhere, get a clean copy of RA2 and apply DSL to that or download one of the many clean ready to go ones from peoples signatures.

We do have ten but I doubt that LiftyShifty will enter something substantial.
With that said, 1 more contestant to enter then a 1 week period of making sure your bot is ready.
