No one's said anything else, so I'll assume that everyone is alright with the rules. Later, I'm going to request this get moved to signups and hopefully I can start taking entries on Saturday.

Added a couple extra rules. I've already PM'd Craig about this so hopefully it'll be in signups soon.

(Image removed from quote.)

Welcome to Ironbot Jr. - mostly same as the original Ironbot from four years ago, but now having lightweights with a division for Stock, DSL, and Ironforge (no bracket relation between the three) with some other minor rule changes. If you don't know, the goal of Ironbot was not necessarily to win matches, but to keep your bot as in-tact as possible, as once you lost a component (with a couple exceptions), it was gone for the rest of the tournament.


Sorry, been busy for a few days.
This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted above may not change. You have 9 months. Enjoy! :)

Thanks Craig.
Signups are open, you have one week to submit bots! I've already gotten entries from RedAce and Silverfish which will be checked shortly.

Silverfish's entry and Redace's entries are all accepted and AI'd.
Also added a countdown timer in the OP. You have until midnight of next Monday (PST) to enter.

Just so you guys know, I'm probably gonna end up flooding this thread with updates like this. Though, I'd rather do that than have no one enter.

I WOULD join you, but I probably wouldn't meet the deadline.
Procrastination+college+being sh** at any sort of AI work means that it would take a month at most XD

Any particular reason signup time is so short?

I would enter this but I don't think I can clobber something together in time. I've had builder's block for far too long.
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

Mainly to get people to enter, though like I said, I may extend signups if necessary. Due to the nature of this tournament, there's also a lot that will be going on in-between filming, and I'm trying to learn how to use a new video editor just for this tournament.

Silverfish's DSL entry accepted and AI'd. I got something from Hercules too, but I need him to clarify something before I can accept it.

Oh yeah, I just remembered that Grinding Noise, a rad "popup" won last time.  It might abuse the rules a bit here, even if it's lightweight.  Will you ban those as well or not?
Since this is a lightweight tournament and there's less room to abuse the rules with, I'm not sure if it'll be a problem. Albeit, if you can think of any examples of how lightweights could pull this off, feel free to let me know.

I'd expect them to be banned under 'no SnS'

yep
Hercules's DSL entry is entered, and Mechadino's bot needs to be fixed before I can AI it.
EDIT: Mech's entry is good to go thanks to RedAce's help.

Hercules's IF and updated DSL bots accepted and AI'd.
I'm thinking about extending signups another week to try and give more people the time to enter. You guys cool with that?
