Title: Just The Two Of Us - Discussion

Discussion.

The 5 Ws.

What? is this even.
Just The Two Of Us is a Beetle-weight tag-team tournament.

Who? will be involved
You (and a team-mate, optional) will be pitted against 11 other teams in two- on- two battles, the winning teams (implying that there are  more than one), will fight each other to decide the best team and the champion of Just The Two Of Us.

Where? will the matches be
The tag-team matches will be fought in the DSL Tournament Arena.
[IMGPH]
The singles matches will be fought in the Ant-weight arena.
[IMGPH]

When? will the sign-ups end (relative to beginning)
The signups will end 30 days after they start, so, you have plenty of time to team up and make your bots.

Why? am I doing this
Well, I've decided that If I'm to earn respect, I should contribute, and the one thing I could never do is host a successful tournament. So I'll give it another try.


Building Rules:
A)Weight.
1.Bots will weigh no more than 175.0KG and no less than 160.0KG

B)General Building.
1.The bot will have to conform to the Realistic Rule.
2.All building must be done INSIDE the bot lab. (No BFE/any of that rubbish).
3.Both bots in the team must follow a certian theme (bot type/etc, they can also use the same weapons, and follow a general theme).
EG.
Two bots, one HS, one Drumbot, both use Light DS teeth and have a related name  will pass.

C) Permitted Bot Types.
If the bot type you want is in the list, you can use it.
Rammer;
VS;
HS
Angles VS/HS;
Face Spinner;
Sawbot;
Drumbot

12 2-bot teams? How are you gonna run that bracket? Like have 3 'winners' or something?
Also your sig is huge, just sayin' o.o
May enter with some generic Craaig-VS, depending on rules.

Does fruit count as a theme? (Was planning a fruit-named team but with different bot types)

If you use the same weapons, I guess.
(Eg. Use LDS teeth or hammers, something like that).

Perfectly fine, It's not like unrealistic is massively impacting anyway, it' just so some things can intersect the chassis.

Normal DSL realism allows thing to intersect the chassis anyway, so long as a slot could be cut and nothing else is hit (slight nicks are considered fine usually).

I'll change it so you can make hammers, but no flippers, they do no damage, and are boring.

I've never seen a flipper KO anyone, without weapons.

Just make a different bot type, It's not the end of the world.

I made a 12 razor rammer once, 12 or 13, not sure.
Might enter
It'd be good to see your skillz.

You would be correct, assuming you managed to put all 9 of those razors of flails, which I doubt. And yes, I do use the 80 cm disk.

On the whole flipper thing, I personally don't see the big deal with outlawing flippers, simply because they are so rare and so useless. That being said, I also don't see any reason why they should be outlawed, seeing as you will probably only get one or two at most.

6 Flail, 3 Static.
But I won't be entering that.

If you want, I'm going to run a DSL LW tourney after I get the BoF2 vids up (which probably won't be till I'm on summer vacation in a week and a half). You can enter that if you want :D (don't worry guys, this isn't gonna back up NASCAR or anything)
