Title: Lego Robot Wars Replica Wars
Post by: Preytor_4 on January 18, 2011, 12:40:47 PM
Rules:
.DSL, Realistic rule applies, wieght can be no higher than 650 kg
.Must be a replica of a robot from series 1-5, use here for bots: http://legorobotwars.weebly.com/robots.html (http://legorobotwars.weebly.com/robots.html)
.Must work like the real thing (lifters can be flippers)
.BFE and cheatbot parts allowed only if it makes the rep more like the real thing (no overpowered reps!)
If you need to make a robot's chassis more like the real thing if  it won't let you, or if you can't fit a component that would make the  rep more realistic, you may use BFE. This will be determined at my  discretion.
.Arena will be RW arena with hazards on
.Matches will be 3 minutes long, one fight
.Bracket will be 1-on-1 (16 entries)
.No loser's bracket
.If a match is ended by time running out, then I will decide on who advances based on the robot who overall performed best
.If a bot havoks, it gets ONE free restart
.All In-game glitches allowed if they abide by the realistic rule
.No 2 people can do the same bot, even if they are from different series
.Bot updates can be sent until splash is posted, you can change your bot only ONCE until the splash is posted
.Scorpion will be AIing for those who can't (thanks) and for those who AI their own bots, no cheaty AI.
.Bots entered must have evidence of beating Bad Dog from DSL AI

I think so. In one of his videos (I think it was in Series 2) he pitted himself after he pushed in the other bot and said something like "just like in RA2"

Oh, preytor, are you comfortable with inserting pre-ai'd bots into the game?

If not, then you could get entrants to send all bots to me, then I could make them into a small AI pack, and send to you?

I'm thinking that Heavyweight class might be excessive. These are after all, replicas of 3KG lego bots, mono-weaponed with very little in the way of accoutrements.  Maybe consider making this a middleweight tourney, or at least setting the cutoff to 600 KG

Just to let you know, there are way too many replica tournaments in discussion atm.
Nobody is voting them in too.
If you really don't want to be waiting a long time, I suggest you host a stock tournament.(Only one in discussion atm, which is mine) and you will most likely be voted in by the next poll.

Post by: Clickbeetle on March 20, 2011, 06:48:19 PM
I actually had a similar idea to possibly implement in BBEANS7 that would weed out some of the weaker bots and make room for the more competitive entries, without unfairly excluding anyone.


It goes like this: you pick some number of reasonably tough AI bots (say, 3-5) as 'test opponents', and everyone who enters has the option of providing screenshots of their bot beating some or all of those AI bots.  You don't have to beat any of those bots if you don't want to, BUT:


Priority is given to entries with the greatest number of screenshots of defeated test bots.  If signups are full and someone then enters a bot with screenshots of it beating all 5 opponents, then the entries with the least screenshots would get kicked out to make room for the entries with screenshots.  If there's a tie for least number of screenshots, then it goes by date of entry (so early entries still have an advantage).


Also, the test opponents you pick should be different bot types, like a wedge, a HS, and a VS or something, so if there's some bot that's really good against HS but bad against wedges, it can still provide some screenshots and secure a place.


Feel free to use that if you want.  BBEANS7 still won't happen for a while and this would be a good test of the system. ;)
