You know how most bots, even DSL bots, seem to go low on realism? This Tournament fixes that issue! You see, here is how it works:

DSL Middle Weight.
No Custom parts, other than smart zones(Only for AI reasons)
No BFE of any kind.
All pointed weapons MUST be treated as if they have normals.
Jugglers, pop ups, and crawlers are banned.
No snapper, metal, or skirt hinged wedges(But you can have axle wedges)
Real Motors only(Excludes Snappers)
Controlled movement please.

I will accept up to sixteen bots.
Yes I can AI, yes I have FRAPS, and yes, I have the time.

thank you R1885s :-D I was going to do a tounament like this (mainly the wedge topic) but 1) didn't have the time and 2) didn't know the best way to write out the rules

I would love to jump in and say yes but I will have to weight and see if I get the time to build :-D

So a shark tooth on a disk=ok then I'm in.

Naryar · « **Reply #5 on:** November 16, 2009, 01:44:37 AM »

Interesting. I don't really get your fourth rule though...

I am certainly going to enter and just had a pretty original idea.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #6 on:** November 16, 2009, 01:57:14 AM »

I guess it means you cant put spikes on a disc unless you have an extender pointing them in the direction the disc spins

Naryar · « **Reply #7 on:** November 16, 2009, 02:05:15 AM »

So you can't put directly iron spikes on the panels of a normal shell spinner ? Wasted weight :P

Oh and if you could ban flail shell spinners as well... at least the ones with like 20 axles and razors on them.

You need to make it so components can't pass through each other. :P

RedSawn · « **Reply #9 on:** November 16, 2009, 09:13:59 AM »

I'll give this one a go, heh.

Thyrus · « **Reply #10 on:** November 16, 2009, 10:06:07 AM »

Realism?
*___*
I`m going to build one right now!

Naryar · « **Reply #11 on:** November 16, 2009, 10:25:29 AM »

And you better build something good enough to not fail again :P

No snapper/metal/skirt hinge wedge? That's fine with me.

Can you tell us which arena it's going to be on?

Edit: In regard to rule #4

Quote

All pointed weapons MUST be treated as if they have normals.

Why not simply ban all weapons without normals? That will make sure all the weapons are pointing at the right way.

Reier · « **Reply #13 on:** November 16, 2009, 10:41:09 AM »

Wouldn't a hinge wedge be called an axle wedge IRL...?

Thyrus · « **Reply #14 on:** November 16, 2009, 11:07:33 AM »

@ Nar: thats the most difficult thing about it. -.- :P
I`m not realy motivated. I hope I will go to the second round of anything someday.

btw: with howmany losses do I get the SFTW award?

RedSawn · « **Reply #15 on:** November 16, 2009, 11:56:04 AM »

Well, I got my entry now. It's not perfect, but it does work well.

Zog · « **Reply #16 on:** November 16, 2009, 11:57:29 AM »

Will it work on the RA2 points system, or the Robot Wars point system?

cephalopod · « **Reply #17 on:** November 16, 2009, 01:04:58 PM »

May give this one a try...

edit: I could even improve calypso and enter it, bwahaha.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2009, 01:33:58 PM »

I am very interested in entering this tournament. Not sure when I will get time to work on a bot though... Will see what I can do.

Beater bars. Nuff said.
