Title: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: d-lark on March 14, 2010, 10:41:44 PM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2686Logo.jpg)]
Basic Rules


1. DSL 2.1 Middleweights
2. Standard Realistic Rules Apply
3. 16 entrants ONLY
4. No custom or cheatbot components
5. All robots must show controlled movement

Tournament Specific Rules
The Idea behind this tournament is to get some creative looking Robot Designs, so some stipulations on your building will be put in place.
1.The only components you may attach to your baseplate are those that cannot be attached anywhere else and multi/baseplate extenders.{And Omni Extenders.... If you so wish}[Half sheets attached to the baseplate will be allowed, PROVIDING they are used for extender work/armour and not wedges] (So basically batteries, airtanks, control boards and extenders attached to the baseplate are all that will be allowed)
The last two entries I got apparently didnt understand the rules, hopefully by enlarging them people will understand the concept.
2. Wedges are only allowed IF they are not attached to the baseplate
3. NO SNS'
4. Multi bots are allowed but must be AI'd by yourself if you wish to enter. Multi bots may be two different lightweights whose total weight do not add up to over 400kg
5. Heaviest Armour you may use is Titanium 1, anything over is illegal. (This is in an attempt to try and get some unique component based armour systems)

AI's
I would prefer if you AI'd your own robot, I can if you absolutely can't though.
I have the NAR AI 2.2 AI pack, and can probably get any other common AI needed and just make the simple tweaks required to run a smooth tournament (making sure your bot is facing forward pretty much) anything else will be up to the builders.

Brackets
The brackets will be a simple 16 bracket system. The first 8 qualifying rounds determine into which pool each robot goes. (Winners and Losers) From then on its single elimination. The Runner up in the winners final will then fight the consolation winner for second place.

Matches/Arena

Each match will be 3 minutes long and held in a re-skinned combat arena DSL Tournament Arena with the Hazards Disabled

Prizes

2.S.T.C.
3.Pwnator
4.Clickbeetle

7.Team Xtreemer

Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on March 15, 2010, 11:13:40 AM
I don't understand the wedges rule.
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: JoeBlo on March 15, 2010, 11:23:25 AM
I think its outlawing skirt hinges, door hinges and burst wedges that are attached to the base-plate (so that means skirt hinges all together outlawed)

this tournament seems to encourage external building rather then internal
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on March 15, 2010, 11:56:16 AM
But everything is attached to the baseplate surely?
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: JoeBlo on March 15, 2010, 12:09:26 PM
just a wedge system attached directly

ME > Flipper Maker > Burst > Wedge dosnt seem to be outlawed
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: d-lark on March 15, 2010, 06:11:28 PM
Exactly right Joe! Also, stagfish sent me a bot that had to be disqualified because it was a heavyweight, but it also had a skirt hinge wedge pulled all the way around to protect the bottom of the chassis, this ill allow as long as it doesn't attach to a wedge, like  always.
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: Stagfish on March 15, 2010, 06:16:12 PM
it wasnt a wedge it was bottom armour
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: d-lark on March 15, 2010, 08:36:09 PM
Exactly, hence why im allowing it.

Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on April 03, 2010, 11:47:46 AM
d lark just told me that even if not attached to the baseplate, motors must still be more than 50% outside the chassis, :( my loophole is now banned.
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: G.K. on April 07, 2010, 04:08:44 PM
d-lark, could you update the front page please?

I was thinking that...
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: d-lark on April 08, 2010, 02:46:21 PM
Done, sorry about that! And that loophole he is speaking about, please dont put components on ME's and then place it so they are still inside your chassis. lf you want to be sneaky just know that atleast 50% (more preferrably) of the said component has to extend out of the chassis.

Post by: Vertigo on May 29, 2010, 12:02:27 PM
I have a bot that I could enter in this if you would be willing to AI it.
I have tried to AI myself quite a few times but I just can't get the bots to move in the correct direction.
I can try & learn to AI for the future but for now I can't. :(
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: G.K. on May 29, 2010, 12:04:18 PM
I would prefer if you AI'd your own robot, I can if you absolutely can't though.

Oh, and Vertigo, I know what your problem is. Post in the AI thread.
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: Vertigo on May 29, 2010, 12:16:33 PM
I know that its something to do with the nose cones, but I can't fix it.
I can't use my robots name either, how do you do that?

Send me the bot, I'll try and solve it.

What?

[/color]I can't use my robots name either, how do you do that?
What?

Like it says in the tutorial, eg: if I replaced Slashback in the AI team high voltage, then I would have to call my robot Slashback.

I did that & made these bindings for the robot:

list.append(("Irritation MW","Omni",{'nose':math.pi*2,'range':99,'radius':0.1,'range':99,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2,'weapons':(4,5)}))

The team loaded up in the exibition section but when I clicked on the robot, the game crashed.
I'm guessing that there is something wrong with the bindings?

(BTW, just slightly  ::ot: :P)

Post by: G.K. on May 29, 2010, 12:53:10 PM
What were you editing bindings.py in?

That's probably your problem. Get python itself and use that.

eeeep..

its somethign you should know before trying this stuff.... for its the program it was made in :P

then after install right click the bindings.py then "edit with IDLE"

python 2.6.5 or python 3.1.2?
is it free?
Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: JoeBlo on May 29, 2010, 01:22:53 PM
yes it is so long as you transfer $564 to my account

Why would you not read the rules before building a robot?


And to all of you who had said you would enter I still have nothing in my inbox.


I felt rather confused by the whole page of AI'ing as well :P

D-Lark hasnt been seen for a while.

I am closing sign ups at the current 8, if D-Lark doesn't return within 10 days for an update, This will need to be shut down as its been nearly 1 month since he has posted anything in here.

I apologize but tournaments need to progress to allow others to start.

Title: Re: Lucky 7 Tournament
Post by: JoeBlo on August 04, 2010, 09:57:58 PM
nope, we arnt doing that anymore, it simply tournament closed and that person is stopped from starting more competitions

there is plenty of upcoming ones,

the person may appeal to have the tournament reopened if they had a correct reason for absence

anyway 2 hours for d-lark to post something before closure
