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

bout time we got this out in the open for everyone I think

I don't understand the wedges rule.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #3 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

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #4 on:** March 15, 2010, 11:56:16 AM »

But everything is attached to the baseplate surely?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #5 on:** March 15, 2010, 12:09:26 PM »

just a wedge system attached directly

ME > Flipper Maker > Burst > Wedge dosnt seem to be outlawed

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.

Stagfish · « **Reply #7 on:** March 15, 2010, 06:16:12 PM »

it wasnt a wedge it was bottom armour

d-lark · « **Reply #8 on:** March 15, 2010, 08:36:09 PM »

Exactly, hence why im allowing it.

Mouldy · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2010, 01:32:10 AM »

Pwnator · « **Reply #13 on:** March 17, 2010, 09:49:19 AM »

When's the deadline for the submissions? :D

Gazea2 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:47:41 AM »

I'll make a bot for your tournament.

cephalopod · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:18:53 PM »

I need to rebuild for this, I entered something thinking that 'I have the NAR AI 2.2 AI pack' meant I could use the new components in it. Damn :P

d-lark · « **Reply #16 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:56:35 PM »

YEs, but just for AI'ing purposes, sorry bud

G.K. · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:59:47 PM »

I'm now determined to make something for this. I can see a bot with Tornado wheels....

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2010, 05:21:28 PM »

anyone wanna ~~posse up and rob a bank?~~ be my partner?

027 LB · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2010, 05:43:33 PM »
