As you may have heard me mention before about making a jousting tournament for those that don’t know

Definition of Jousting: Jousting is a medieval sport played by two armoured knights mounted on horses, mounted knights would charge at their enemies with weapons to try to kill or disable them.

Basically that with robots but yes there are more rules...

General Rules

Stock HW, a robot may not weigh anymore then 799.7kg (0.3kg are needed for 2 smart zones and a target)
No Bot File Editing, etc (ALL building must be done in the bot lab)
AI Parts are perfectly legal (Blue Snapper, Emergency Wedge, Etc)
Cheatbot2 parts are NOT legal for use (this includes the flamethrower, magnet, cannon, etc)
Any in game glitches may be exploited as long as they don’t violate the above rules

Advanced Rules

No part of a robot may exceed and/or stretch over the wall of the jousting arena
All weaponry must be brought into play via burst motors (basically the same concept as the above rule)

Format

Each match will consist of 3 “Jousts” and the winner will be determined on a points based system
3 points if you break your opponents Target off
1 point each if no targets are knocked off
0 points if your target is knocked off (unless you break your opponents off before yours was broken)
The player with the most points wins, in the event of a draw after the 3 “Jousts” the total in game points from each match will be added up and the highest total wins.

all those eliminated from the tournament before the semi finals will go into a consolation bracket were they will fight it out for 1 prize selection

Prizes

the winner will gain a choice of 2 prize's, the runner up and consolation bracket winners will gain 1 prize of there choice.

Skinned Jousting Targets Collection

Diamond Spikes

Extra Info

You may be wondering what is a Jousting Target ? it is a custom component I made that has only 1 HP and can be downloaded Here dont worry about attaching these to your entry's how ever as I will do that to all entry's

AI’ing? I have worked out a way to AI the entrees so you don’t have to worry about AI’ing your entry

Arena? Many of you may have seen it before off RFSHQ ? (it can be found here https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2156) I really want to stress this part I do not and wont take any credit for the arena, all credit goes to Lu-Tze for this awesome piece of work and I sure hope its ok that I host a tournament with this great arena :D

I like this idea, you gotta think about your robot in a much more serious way than just making something to smash everything else up.

As for the weapons, when you say nothing can go over the wall, that doesn't include the weapons on the burst which go over the wall when fired, right?

But yes, I really like this idea and would like to take part :D

sorry I wasnt too clear, weapons cant go over the wall unless the burst fire moves them over the wall (so you basically cant make static weapons or say spinning discs that hand over the wall

also funny thing Craaig you were the first to comment in my CC2 plans thread too :P

Awesome idea. I'm in.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #4 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:38:59 AM »

Hmmm, nice idea, but I think you are going to need a new Jousting AI as any other AI will just circle around the wall.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #5 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:44:13 AM »

with a lot of testing I can do it with simply omni.py :-D I wire all the motors to forward on the "spin" input so it will take off as soon as the count goes down and the turning speed and turning are set to really small values so the robot will stay close to the wall but will continue heading forward (one of the slower test bots had 0.1 for turn speed :P)

it worked rather well in testing so im pretty confident

Can we use burst pistons?

I like the idea, but entry unlikely.

life robot arena2 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 28, 2009, 03:18:22 PM »

Why do we put our weapons on bursts?

To go over the wall to hit the other bot, LA2.
