Well, I've decided that although I won't be starting it just yet, because I have to finish the arena, I may as well announce my next (And sixth) tournament. This is IN TANDEM. The basic principle of the tournament is that it is a tag team, in Stock. You will create a team of a HW bot and a MW bot. They will fight against other people's teams. The catches are these:
- Your two bots have to be the same type.
- You cannot make HS's or Popups unless you create a hybrid. In those hybrids, at least 50% of the weapon components (number, not weight) must be for the weapon system that isn't Popup or HS. An HS/Popup hybrid must have an equal number of components on the two weapon systems. Any other hybrids do not follow this restriction. Remember that both bots must be the same hybrid.
At this stage I will not be entering. Ounce has a reserved spot as a reward for winning BTTB 3 if he wants it.
Other rules:
- 16/32 man bracket depending on interest.
- All ingame glitches allowed. This includes Hax Mode under certain conditions, explained below. Regular stacking also not allowed if it falls foul of those restrictions, but fine at any other time.
- No AAM, Thyrus Glitch or Zero G. BFE forbidden except name changing and chassis shine. I will check to see if you BFE armour.
- All AI components allowed except the beta spinmotor and 140cm red extender. No custom components/cheatbot 2 parts except custom smartzones for AI'ing purposes only.
- Multibots obviously not allowed.
- Double elimination, best of 3 matches.
- I will use the In Tandem Arena - I can't tell you anything about it yet but know that it's about the same size as the Containment cube and has a middle hazard.
- Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted - except Ounce.
- Upgrades are unlimited until I give a cutoff point - you can update individual bots as long as both end up staying the same type.
- 1 havok gets a restart, any more get disqualifications. 1 restart per match, not round like BTTB.
Hax Mode/Stacking Restrictions (I will check for all of this):
- You may stack unlimited amounts of batteries of the same type together. Different ones cannot be stacked together.
- You may stack a CB in any battery/battery stack.
- Motors may not be stacked together except 2 Snapper II's together or in the styles demonstrated by 090901 (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14897itry.png).
- Motors may not be stacked in anything.
- Axle mounts can be stacked together, and stacked into batteries, but a maximum of 2 can be stacked together when stacked into batteries.
- Unlimited baseplate anchor stacks are allowed - if stacked in batteries you may not stack any anchors together.
- No exostacking of anything (i.e. components attached to the baseplate sticking out that aren't supposed to) except baseplate anchors. Axles (Not axle mounts) outside the chassis, and casters are fine.
- Axles can be overlapped into batteries/anchors/other motors by axle/snapper loading. Any overlapping built off a snapper/axle mount is perfectly fine.
I think that's everything. Feel free to discuss and take issue with any rules. I'll post the arena when I finish it.
