- Can have a maximum of 2 flippers/popupsthird sentinel rebuild here we go
Will enter as soon as it gets to sign-ups.No, multibots are not allowed.
BTW, are multibots allowed?
Probably still going to need someone to help me with AI'ing, my game keeps crashing.
I thought you couldn't accept entries until the tournament went through to sign-ups.
Nice work on these rules. You may want to state your point of view on uncontrolled movement bots and if they are allowed.
You should have waited until you got more known before you made a tournament.
You shouldn't let people submit more than one bot.I allowed that because I don't expect this tournament to be very big. If there are too many bots, then I will be bias towards the bots that only had 1 robot submission. For example: If someone who entered 2 bots already had another bot pass qualifying, I would probably give the win to the guy who entered 1 bot, unless the fight was completely 1 sided.
Bias, really...Not in the actual tournament, it's just if I get too many bots entered. It would kind of suck if a guy got 3 bots through qualifying but a guy who sent in 1 didn't. Qualifying is just so I can narrow the bots down to the original 16-bot bracket if I get too many.
Dude, you need this to be in sign-ups before you can accept entries.DUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
BTW, you are only allowed to have a maximum of 16 robots for your first tourney, so you may want to remove the rule of being able to enter 3 robots each.Alright, I have given this some thought and I guess my backup plans are solid enough.
I have an entry ready for thisYou may as well send it in now, because you can always edit or change entries once they are in.
May toss in BuffalOWNED.Damn, everyone watch out! That bot was one of my favorite bots in BB6.
Looks like I'll get to give Hurricane 2 a test drive.I've been watching on your showcase, and it looks very deadly. You should probably add something to protect against flippers, because so far a couple of people said they might send a flipper. I'm sure you know what happens when unstable bots meet flippers.

You gotta show your entry, by the way, 'face.Not done yet. I suck at building, so it will take time before I can finally get a good one.
Jesus, Shield what have you been feeding that thing! It made Rob Collin's bot do 2 1/2 backflips in testing! Anyways, got both of your bots up and running.
You know you can't accept entries until you post your bot right dude?It's not done yet. I guess I'll have to hurry up then. I'll post my bot tomorrow because I have a lacrosse game in 5 minutes.
Really? BuffalOWNED was your fave out of all of them? That's great to hear.Yep. Solid, and was extremely fast with a powerful flipper. Almost reminds me of Toro which was a family favorite.
Perhaps a little strange releasing the seeds list before the SBV, while people can still enter, but it's your tournament, I guess.Meh. I know it's different, but I'd like to inspire some fear and let people know how their bots are doing.
EDIT: wait, IFI is in this? CRAP. Scared now. :ouch:
Added a seeds list. IFI's and Hurricane's testing fight was REALLY close :3
Thought Tominator would make the seedings. Oh well, got a lot to prove this tournamentIt was actually in the seedings for a while before I put them up.
Can I BFE my bot's name to have more than 30 something characters?Sure, I don't see why not.
Based on testing. Btw, I had another testing fight and you barely beat IFI. Very close matches.Added a seeds list. IFI's and Hurricane's testing fight was REALLY close :3
That's the fourth time he's beaten me. Darn.
And may I ask, what is this "seed" that you speak of?
Correct, seeing as Alex is somehow seeded, despite his having a problem with AI.I judged Diced on design and previous performances. I also did a few damage, pushing power, etc tests where it did good in. Like I said, it will get changed around lots.

I can't see Dusk 2 staying at such a high seed.I know, it's weird but it always does well because of durability.
Chassis wedge and limited range on the disc won't get it very far, I fear. 4 NPC Fasts or not.

Dude don't put a splash up before all the entrants are in. Now people can build to counter other people's bots.

I do agree, but to be fair, a majority of them are usually showcased beforehand.
Sending my entry. It's a rebuilt version of my very first DSL bot.That will be interesting. I remember my first dsl bot. Eww.

Some people don't showcase their entries for this very reason though. It's not really fair on them if they don't want their entries shown off before the deadline.

No debate nessicairy, I'm keeping my terrible splashes off until the deadline is up.Dude don't put a splash up before all the entrants are in. Now people can build to counter other people's bots.

Problem: The RA2 that contains all the tournament stuff crashes now. All I did this morning was fix Dusk 2 bindings, copy-pasted in the Diced bindings, and put Diced in the game. When I clicked on Diced it crashed, so I fixed Dusk 2 (Nose was messed up) and tried to fix the Diced bindings and now the game crashes as soon as I load it.
EDIT: There was a typo in Dusk 2's bindings. When I fixed it, nothing changed. The game is still crashing.
You realise you're not actually permitted to update your own robot after you've shown it on this page, heckoface? Because then you could easily be taking advantage by editing your bot so that it's not beaten by everything else as easily.No, I didn't know that. I won't update any more. What you see in the showcase will be the final draft for the rest of the tournement.
I've just had a thought. Exactly what is it about Dusk 2 that crashes the game? It has no custom parts or anything, and it worked in the first batch of AIing and tests.I have no idea whatsoever, but it says in the rules that you can change/upgrade your entry once you're in.
Any adjustments I make will probably have no effect on the problem, and it seems very unfair for me to make a new entry now that I know what I'm up against. :/

Also, ONE SPOT LEFT!
Dusk 2 loads perfectly fine in my game.Odd... can someone send me a different Dusk 2 bindings? Maybe it's my fault :(
LET THE UNMANLY MEN CRY A RIVERWut .-. :confused:
A few of those made me totally fanboy on the inside.
Everyone should be fine when signups are filled. Just close the signups.
Uploading demo splash when I get to my computer.
Me too. IT'S SO CLOSE!Uploading demo splash when I get to my computer.
Ahh. The much awaited splash. Excited.
I think you should open a thread in Brackets and Vids instead of posting the splashes here.

This would be the best. All though speaking as a competitor, from the 2 splashes I've seen, I like my chances against Infamy and Dusk 2. But As far as I know, they weren't seeded and I could be suprised
It's in rumble format. Anything could happen.

I thought it was a knockout round style tournament. Maybe with a rumble at the end? Could be wrong though. It doesn't say in the Rules.
EDIT: My bad, didn't read the very top. So it is Rumble format for the first round only
Seeing the two splashes already up, I think I have a pretty good chance.
Summer break has arrived for me! Expect more splashes up soon.

Don't worry about it. If there's one thing I learned from the pros, is never think your robot is going to lose unless you have evidence first. Who knows? Maybe your robot could stay out of the beginning skirmish and attack when the other robots are significantly weakened. You do have a strong gearbox and 30kg hammers after all.60kg, and honestly I*m SCARED TO DEATH of Hurricane 2.
