Helloface's IRL Fall 2013 Tournament *Signups Closed*

[helloface]

I am going to be starting an IRL DSL2 tournament in the Containment Cube. There will be 6 heats (24 robots. In case of a lack of robots, you may send 1 extra robot. You MUST state which robot will be your main robot. Your extra robots will not affect your rank). Everything will be in RW Series 4 format.

Here are the rules/restrictions:

- I will be AIing, but I have the right to ask you do do it yourself
- State that nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted 
- The main weight class will be Heavyweight
- IRL is strongly enforced
- No unrealistic wedges
- The top 6 seeds will get to choose which heat to be in AFTER randomization
- The ONLY glitch allowed is the small chassis glitch.
- Arena hazards will be on
- Your bot can be modified or changed, as long I receive the upgraded bot before the deadline
- Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted
- Bots must show controlled movement
- Walkers and Shufflers will gain a 400kg weight bonus, but at least 400kg must be used on the movement system.
- Matches are 4 minutes long, aside from the Grand Final which will be 2 minutes long
- No custom components
- 1st havok, restart; 2nd havok, your bot is eliminated
- No custom armour
- Bots can only be built in botlab
- No Trov Glitching, Hax Mode, BFE, etc
- If you want to make a multibot, you must send in another bot for the first round melee
- No Heavy Plows, (Steel V's are okay) or Titanium Sheets (half-sheets are okay).
- The only cheatbot2 components allowed are:

Buster Wheel
- Growler Wheel
- M.O.E. Wheel
- All Judge extras, except for the gavel.
- HMN Tooth
- Matilda Flywheel
- Beta Wheel (under extras)
- Beta handles

- If a bot is out of control for 30 seconds it is eliminated (if a bot is just randomly bouncing around the arena, in counts as being out of control).
- You have an unlimited amount of upgrades. This means you can send a new robot too.
- Badnik must enter BuffalOWNED (please?)

Awards to be given out at the end:
Gold, Silver, and Bronze titles (1st, 2nd, 3rd if you haven't already guessed)
Coolest Robot Award
Most Entertaining Robot
Best Engineering/Most Unique Award
Host Destroyer (Whoever destroys my bot)
Most Destructive
The Lolwut Award (Weirdest loss or win)
Honourable Mention (A bot that did really well, and probably should have made it farther)

Judges will mark in 5 categories:
Damage (or in the case of flippers/rammers, flipping/ramming power) - 3
Control - 3
Aggression - 2
Style -1
Entertainment - 1

Judges: helloface199, Kurt Wylde, MassimoV
Backup Judges: Kid_Krusher13 & TheUnknownRobotics

(In case of tie, there will be a clawtop fight with infinite time)

Side Competitions (Send me a message telling me which side-competitions you would like to enter. Side competitions will not affect your rank. You may enter in as many side competitions as you want):

*Junker | A 1v1 with WreckTangle 3. For each component you knock off WreckTangle, you earn a point. Eliminating WreckTangle gives you an extra 5 point.
*Sumo | A 1 minute 1v1 on FlexTop with hazards and weapons off. You may enter an additional bot if you would like.
*The All-Stars | (after tournament) the Top 6 ranked robots will face off in a Dutch Robot Wars Series 2 format.
*Grudge Matches | (self explanatory)
*Challenge Belt | I will give the Challenge Belt to one of the moderate-high ranking robots, then others will compete to get it. Same rules as Robot Wars.
*Mantisweight | 300kg weight limit. All matches in rumble format
*KOTH | On the Lumizone Arena
*Annihilator | Four random robots will start in the arena. When a robot is eliminated, the fight is stopped and another random robot is put in to replace it.

I am entering Ride The Lightning 2

I was going to enter something else, but signups snuck up on me :/
My Mantisweight, which I forgot to add:

Also, my extra bye bot will be RTL1.

[Shield]

Walkers and Shufflers will gain a 400kg weight bonus, but at least 400kg must be used on the movement system.

Pacific Rim Jaeger here we go

- Multibots allowed!!!!

In case of a lack of robots, you may send up to extra robots.

Yes... Yes!

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[Merrick]

I'm guessing I'd be seeded 4th if I enter? I probably should.

YES!!!!!!!!!!

My work here is done :)

Yes, and with the addition of Judge Bursts, you may enter Dusk 3.

Everyone likes my changes?

[Badnik96]

You realize you can only have 32 robots in a tourney until you've hosted 3 right?

[helloface]

You realize you can only have 32 robots in a tourney until you've hosted 3 right?

WAT. Can I bring it down to 24 bots?

[Badnik96]

Sure, as long as it doesn't go past 32.

Sorry, just didn't want this to get changed halfway through signups or something which would piss you off even more.

[helloface]

Well you chose the best possible time, since it's not even fall yet and I'm still thinking of side competitions.

[AlexGRFan97]

Also, slight typographical error with my name. I'm not THAT young. But yeah, I'll be entering this for sure.

[helloface]

Lul. I fixed it.
EDIT: Post 666

[Sylandro]

I'm entering, with glory!

[Badger]

I might pull something together. There again, I might not.

[AlexGRFan97]

Will there be any weapon restrictions? I've got a perfect ramming weapon working, but it uses quite a few spikes.

[helloface]

Well, that depends if it uses a realistic amount of spikes. Let me see.

[AlexGRFan97]

Ok, I sent you a photo of it before I skin it.

[Camaro Kid]

Tominator would be back for another round. Maybe an upgrade to meet with it

[playzooki]

Which Weightclass?

[helloface]

Heavyweight, possibly other classes for side tournaments.

[090901]

Don't allow the judge gavel head.

[AlexGRFan97]

Rather than mentioning every component that isn't allowed, why not just list the components that are allowed? It would be a lot harder, if not impossible for people to find loopholes.
