So like Robot Wars 2005 in Ironforge. pretty much
Also;
-400kg minimum? Your bots are below that. I screwed up there, I've changed it now :)
-Robot Wars only? No BattleBots? yes
-Only 1 'new version' of any bot? So how're you going to do that, like whoever submits first? sounds stupid but yes
sure, let me enter my flying 5000kg typhoon 3 I honestly didn't know it came with Hovercrafts (another thing to change) but even so that wouldn't be IRL, and the weight has been changed...
-All Cheatbot2 parts except anti-ballast and to two cannonsGoing by that rule, the only cheatbot2 components allowed would be the multi-extender (which I don't really see a point in using) and the hovercraft (which, if a bot used it, wouldn't be IRL realistic). Just ban cheatbot2 parts altogether.
-BFE (chassis, 180 swing and component) allowedIf you're going to allow these building techniques to be used, then make sure the bots that use them still abide by IRL realistic rules (if you can even make a Trov Glitch bot IRL realistic to begin with).
-eFFe is allowed but won't change much as I'll send it to the test garage and back
-Trov Glitch allowed
-Multibots are allowed
You do realize that, in RA2, multibots don't work in battles with more than two competing parties, right? Either make all the matches feature two competitors, or ban multibots altogether.

So, I've had this idea for quite a long time and decided to start this! It's called "Identity Theft" and the theme is IRL robots based off real robots. I hope to get somewhere with this so please help.
Rules
-Ironforge 1.0
-24 entrants
-Enter 2-4 robots per person
-Only base robots off Robot Wars robots
-All Cheatbot2 parts except anti-ballast and to two cannons
-No Custom Components
-BFE (chassis, 180 swing and component) allowed
-No SnS, Multi Piston, Nasty Pickle, AGOD, NCR, ZeroG, AAM or NARmour
-eFFe is allowed but won't change much as I'll send it to the test garage and back It will as the glitched together parts will stay. The idea isnt to have floating parts, its to move parts out the way so they can be put in places where they cant normally.
-Trov Glitch allowed If someone makes something out of this glitch they are either trov, sonny, or craaig.
-Weight- Middleweight MINIMUM - 800kg MAXIMUM IRONFORGE WEIGHT DOESNT WORK THAT WAY! More specifically 400kg is HW, so 200 is MW. 600kg is SHW, and then there is nothing more. With this way, i can have Genetically Altered Pinsir as a splinter remake.
-I'll AI
-Only one robot imitated (IE if someone imitates Hypno Disc, no one else can)
-If you enter a robot, you can make as many MINOR changes as you like but no MAJOR changes
-NO JOKEBOTS FOR CHRIST SAKE
-Multibots are allowed
-I'm entering with these:

These guys are HWs.
Battle Rules
-Whamettnuht's RW Arena
-5 minute matches
-Havoc occurs the match will restart. Will happen as many times as needed
-Head to Head matches
Match RulesYou cannot have melees with tag teams! that means 6+ bots which means RA2 CANNOT! And 4 tagteams? Wishful thinking.
Awards results revealed on the Grand Final episode.
I think I've covered everything. Any flaws? Anyone interested?
When you send me it, please note the robot you're imitating
Gee, just what we need. Another Robot Wars style tournament.

Why not do your own tournament instead of whining about what other people want to run?
Soyou enter 2-4 bots? Why?Why not?
1) Not allowed to only enter 1?Ok, I'll change it to 1-4, will this mean that when signups are closed, if I don't have enough entries I can fill the gaps in with my own?
2) My previous unanswered questions still stand - why ONLY RW bots and why the wrong weight limit?
1) No you can't fill in the gaps with your own entries. You can provide 'byebots' shuffled in but not serious entries. Ok, I'll enter with 4 altogether to reach the limit
2) Banning BattleBots is completely dumb (and I grew up in the UK with RW) - there's a lot of American's etc here who watched BB not RW. If you want entries like you say you do...
3) The weight limit for Ironforge HW's has been mentioned multiple times in this thread and is even in the IF loading screen - all the component weights are halved so the limit for a HW is 400kg - yes the game will still say Middleweight but you ignore this as we can't change the in-game definitions, it's a self inforced rule which improves the game - makes all the motors more powerful in comparison to the bots.
IF Weight Limits:
LW-125
MW-200
HW-400
You get the idea. That wasn't exactly the question but ok
Please guys, stop about "Only RW"
I think they're overpowered.dude wat
The rw thing is changed. Battlebots count as well (however please don't just go for battlebots competitors, make an effort for robot wars bot). Also, Robotica and other robot combat show bots count (of course similar to the robot wars, battlebots robots - not the show Chris Jericho presented)They had the advantage in real life but you should of all people know that the replicas don't always perform as well as their counterparts.
The main reason I didn't want bb robots is because I think they're overpowered.

1) Can we make robots that have been made after rw? yes
2) can we scale up/down robots from other weightclasses? yes
1) Not allowed to only enter 1?
2) My previous unanswered questions still stand - why ONLY RW bots and why the wrong weight limit?
He's changed the rules to allow all competitions1) Not allowed to only enter 1?

Just read through this and its a shame about the no BattleBots rule... I have a No Apologies replica-ish raring to go :/

Having only 24 entry slots and making it so 1/6 of the entries are yours is kind of dumb IMO.
Having only 24 entry slots and making it so 1/6 of the entries are yours is kind of dumb IMO.Anybody else can enter 4 bots too
Thank you.Having only 24 entry slots and making it so 1/6 of the entries are yours is kind of dumb IMO.Anybody else can enter 4 bots too
I hope you're going to relinquish some of your spots if you get enough entries. It is not normal for the host to enter 4 bots.Thank you.Having only 24 entry slots and making it so 1/6 of the entries are yours is kind of dumb IMO.Anybody else can enter 4 bots too
I wasn't thinking of it. I thought it would be ironic not to.I hope you're going to relinquish some of your spots if you get enough entries. It is not normal for the host to enter 4 bots.Thank you.Having only 24 entry slots and making it so 1/6 of the entries are yours is kind of dumb IMO.Anybody else can enter 4 bots too
So that means that either 24 people enter 4 bots or only a few people enter 4 bots.
^Strongly agree with the above 2 sentiments.So do you think I should increase my maximum on entries?
4 entries per person in such a small tournament isn't fair - especially when you get first pick of the spots when others might not get their 1 entry in due to your 4.
So do you think I should increase my maximum on entries?
So do you think I should increase my maximum on entries?
I think you should reduce it to 2 per person honestly.
I know, I was just saying, I still think 4 is excessive.Certainly not, I'll increase the entry number by 25%, that's it.
Because your tournament had literally unlimited entries, AS.well akshually:
infinite/18 = infinite
24/4 = 6 (or rather with the upped limit, 32/4=8)
-Max limit is 256 entries.I get where you're coming from though. 32 max entries instead of 24 sounds like a better compromise than 2 entries per person. Most first tournies don't fill up completely anyway.
As far as I'm concerned, 4 is just too many. It encourages people to spam entries to try to win, and is unfair on those who would rather spend a lot of time making 1 cool bot than 4 meh ones.I've said no jokebots so no spamming would be acceptable. I've said before, you don't have to enter 4 necessarily.
Agreeing with the others. Lower it to at least two max. The 4 bot rule might work in a tournament without a limit or a really high limit, (i.e, Mr AS's Maximum Overkill) but not for something that requires 24 bots.BUT I DON'T WANNA :( I might, however I've increased the limit anyways.
JD, I don't want to be tactless, but you've never run a tournament before, why do you keep thinking you know best? You're setting yourself up to have as few as five other people taking part, is that what you want?I did host JW: Mini tourney XD As I said I've increased the limit. I know you're right with the first so I'm removing it, have a look at my IF showcase for Tees Rager (Toon Raider)
To be honest, you've only made two that actually conform to the theme - "I Saw U" looks nothing like its predecessor, and Tees Rager, I don't even know what that's supposed to be.
I've said no jokebots so no spamming would be acceptable. I've said before, you don't have to enter 4 necessarily.
I did host JW: Mini tourney XDYeah, it was an absolute shambles.
