Title: Maximum Overkill - Signups
Post by: Mr. AS on June 18, 2014, 05:43:51 PM

Stock LW

Everyone will be able to enter up to 18 entries.
Single elimination, best 1 of 1 matches for sanity's sake. Except for the final match, which is best 5 of 9.
The tournament continues until there is only one bot left. Last bot standing is the winner.
Really strightforward guys. NO restrictions on bot quality, come one come all etc.

GENERAL RULES
-You know what "stock" means. No BFE, AAM, Hax Mode, cheatbot2, Thyrus Glitch, Text Editing... etc
-Any and every non-cheatbot2 component included with the 1.4 version of stock is 100% legal, this includes the 140cm extenders, all AI parts, and the snapper II
-Your bot must show some sort of controlled movement (I will be testing for this, but I am generally lenient about it), 1WD bots and crawlers are fine, given they use a melty brain with controlled movement or can move forward.
-Failing the controlled movement test will result in any infringing entries being rejected, you must replace your entry after with something more stable/controlled.
-Smartzones do not count as weight if it pushes your robot above the weight limit.
-Once accepted, you are allowed to update/change your team ONCE and only ONCE. Updating a single bot counts as updating your team, so be careful!
-Of course, adding bots to your team, or replacing an invalid bot doesn't count as updating your team. If you explicitly say that you want a sent bot to replace another bot on your team, that IS a update.
-Any obvious attempts to counteract or otherwise exploit a loophole in the rules will be automatically DQ'd (example: sending 18 of the same bot, Chris).
-Multibots are allowed, even though there is no reason to build a LW multibot.
-While replicas, IRL bots, and intentionally poorly built bots clearly built below the builders skill level ("jokebots") will be accepted (given they follow the rules), they will be marked in purple in the signups, and will be removed if signups fill completely.

HAVOK RULES:
-Occasional, minor havok is counted as controlled movement as long as it is not constant (i.e. you cannot turn without going airborne).
-If your bot is suspected of causing a game-altering havok, the match will be restarted once. If it happens again during the match, the offending bot will be ELIMINATED IMMEDIATELY, no exceptions.

-Max limit is 256 entries.
-My entries are:

The arena will be the Small Arena (Small... arena with no OOTA potential, and no hazards).
The arena for the finals will be the Epic Showdown arena (circular arena with poles along the edges and OOTA potential)




Green = Accepted.
Purple = Host's bots, IRL style bots, Replicas, and Jokebots, will be removed when signups fill.

(While you are not REQUIRED to AI your bots, I highly recommend it to speed up the pre-SBV process on my end. I would really appreciate it!)

Anyway, I could find a few old LW's for this tourney.

I'll probably end up only sending one or two bots because I'm not that great with LWs.

I suppose I should get drunk and build 18 stock LW's in a row as much lightweights as I can for this.

And no fixing things while not drunk !

This can ONLY end well.

It would be good to see you entering tournaments again, Kill. Go back to building stock, damn if I can do it you can do it.

maybe AS will allow you to enter conjointly with enigma...
Title: Re: Maximum Overkill - Signups
Post by: Mr. AS on June 27, 2014, 11:53:18 AM
Playzooki's bot (one) accepted.

I'm literally accepting any legal stock LWs, even the oldest bots you have. You could build SFTW mk. 2 and it would still get in. Nobody seems to be able to nab 18 random bots from their robot design folder and send it...
Title: Re: Maximum Overkill - Signups
Post by: kill343gs on June 28, 2014, 12:12:21 AM
i think i built like 3 lws ever lol

They should be sent soon.

Enigma's bots (7) and Badnik's bots (2) accepted. ~5 more days.

Kurt's bots are accepted, but some of them are very glitchy and should be fixed.

No. The problems still happen, but you have 4 days to fix them, I would recommend sending 4 different bots. Do you want me to withdraw them from the signups?

Post by: Mr. AS on July 05, 2014, 11:35:13 PM
KOS and kurt's fixes are received + good to go. MassimoV's bots accepted, although Dr. Seuss Returns is borderline when it comes to controlled movement. I'll see what I can do to reduce some of the havok.

~2 days left.

Post by: Mr. AS on July 07, 2014, 12:31:06 AM
Less than a day left! If you have ANY robots that you haven't yet sent, send them now. Regardless of if you have 18 bots or not. Even 1 bot is better than 0 bots.
Title: Re: Maximum Overkill - Signups
Post by: kill343gs on July 07, 2014, 12:28:24 PM
17 bots sent. I just grabbed a bunch, a couple of them probably will be pulled out. One or two might not even be finished.
Title: Re: Maximum Overkill - Signups
Post by: Philippa on July 07, 2014, 12:43:24 PM
I reckon that 7 of my 18 will win their first battle, then one of the remaining seven will win, then that one will lose in the next round.

Signups are now "closed". HOWEVER, if you get an entry in before SBV goes up in a few days, it will likely be accepted.
Title: Re: Maximum Overkill - Signups

14 bots sent.

I've decided that I'm gonna get the SBV up tomorrow regardless of weather I've AI'd your bot or not. I don't want this to be in signups forever. :V

All entries sent up to this point are acceptable unless I've told you otherwise.
Title: Re: Maximum Overkill - Signups
Post by: ianh05 on July 12, 2014, 11:05:15 PM
I only sent 7 bots, only 1 of which is new so this should be fun  :dumb)
