These are the rules....they can can not change
-
i will make something for this
-
Realistic rule <3
Now what gut ripper to build...
-
hmm what to enter....
Rammunition 2 ? or the new Wammunition ?
Edit: wait the rules ACAMS quoted are different ?
-
Yeah, he didn't mention the no popups and 5 'effective' weapons rule.
I've got something built for this, manages to take care of a few Starcore bots. Also epic wedges. =P
Also, I meant to ask, am I allowed to use caster armor on the front?
-
All glitches are forbidden so, no.
-
Okay, I'll have to edit that then. =D
-
is caster Armour really a glitch or building technique ? (serious question as we tend to allow it in DSL)
-
Get rid of that 5 weapon rule so we can build other things than popups or SFTWs...
@Joe: Caster armor is a building technique. It's not realistic and probably cheating, but not a glitch since the developers intended the casters to be invulnerable (since damageable = false in the txt). We're just using the casters in a different way than the usual one.
-
thanks for the info Nary
Get rid of that 5 weapon rule so we can build other things than popups or SFTWs...
that rule shouldn't exist according to ACAMS post...
-
Because I forgot to put them.
-
which brings up this quote....
These are the rules....they can can not change
ditch the damaging weapon rule in exchange for a dawn pikachu ? :P
-
Okay, deal.
-
lol it had to be removed anyway but at least you get something outta it
-
I hope Jonzu has strict measures on how realistic the bots are...
-
Yes I have.
-
I hope theres no jugglers.
-
PMbomb'd.
-
No effe glitch?
-
I don't think so, but semi-stacking weapons should probably be allowed.
Anyway Jonzu, is my entry approved? I entered a popup the first time so technically I shouldn't be on that list. Now I entered a new bot, I'm not sure if it's accepted or not. :D
-
Okay, deal.
Too bad, the 5 weapons rule + no popups would make for some interesting designs. You might actually start considering stuff like sledgehammers for their kinetic energy-carrying capacity and good throwing power (Mjorhmei in BBEANS5 is a good example of this).
Then again, it would almost certainly be a VS-fest... and if VS's were banned, it would be a something else-fest... you just can't enforce variety.
I like this tourney but I can't guarantee I'll have time to make a bot for it.
-
despite making him a deal to keep happy that rule had to go anyway.. if you look at acams post that rule inst in there
-
I probably enter this
-
Jonzu changed the rules when we're no supposed to change the rules.
-
Wait, what ? All glitches are forbidden ? What does that mean ?
-
I dunno... Atleast the robot must be realistic... Just like in DSL...
-
Then axle loading and eFFe glitch should be allowed (though both should have heavy restrictions).
-

Okay, I'll fix it... (Hopefully ACAMS wont kill me... :ermm: )
-
It's just a minor change, so don't worry. It's not like you're changing the weight class or something. XD
-
I agree. Glitches should be allowed because you can't prove that the person has/hasn't used any glitches.
-
Glitches should be allowed because you can't prove that the person has/hasn't used any glitches.
Oh, that's easy. If you see a wheel that intersects with a plow, axle loading's used. If there are intersecting batteries, then it's stacking. See 3 small wedges stacked together, then that's eFFe glitch. :P
-
Good point. :P
Anyway, I'll build a bot for this.
-
What about realistic stacking, i.e. 2 razors overlapping. This uses no glitches but could look like eFFeing.
-
Just try it out yourself and if it's not possible, it's eFFeing. :P
-
I dont think thats the point
he is talking about being accused of using the eFFe glitch even if its just rotating the parts to fit
-
That's what I was saying. The accuser should try it out himself if rotating will actually attach those components or not.
-

Too much time and effort. How will you get the exact same extender work, they may be rotates of flipped.
-
There's common sense for that. :P
Besides, if it's realistic enough for you, why complain? It's stock after all. These parts are very hard to work with to make a destructive yet realistic bot. XD
-
eFFe should be allowed so long as it doesn't violate any of the other rules (like realism)
-
We should have more Stock realistic tournaments.
-
We should have more Stock tournaments.
lol fixed.. there is a distinct lack of them in general
-
Entered, You've probably seen my bot... depending on what you click.
(Mwa ha ha.)
-
YOU HAVE ENTERED THAT GAY SERVO CRAWLER YOU ENTERED IN DOOMED BOTS
and I shall enter this :D
-
YOU HAVE ENTERED THAT GAY SERVO CRAWLER YOU ENTERED IN DOOMED BOTS
and I shall enter this :D
No. That bot never raped anything, sadly.
Also, it takes advantage of Servos not needing power and being glitchy.
-
and my bot is ready, just needs to be skinned.
-
I'm In
-
Psst - Minesweeper's realistic. ;)
-
Gameking, your bot is UNREALISTIC!
-
Hang on, when I get round to it, I'll have something in. Probably a flipper or something like that.
-
Gameking, your bot is UNREALISTIC!
Please explain to me how so.
-
Iron Spikes goes through of the other spikes. (sorry for my bad english)
-
It was very good except goes should be go instead.
-
Iron Spikes goes through of the other spikes. (sorry for my bad english)
Just remove the "of" and it's fine... i guess
-
lol frenchie teaching english.
-
Iron Spikes goes through of the other spikes. (sorry for my bad english)
Upon further investigation I sent you the wrong bot. My bad.
-
That's okay. Everyone makes mistakes...
-
Jonzu I sent you another bot this time it's the right one.
-
Good, I'll check it later. (I'm using phone)
-
Hmmmm... gotta think of something good.
*think think think*
-
027 will be sending Chuckya tomorrow.
-
DP
Motor chaining is alloewd right? And multibots?
-
Rules
- Realistic Rule
- Multibots are forbidden.
Motor chaining is generally not considered realistic, so no.
-
I consider it realistic since it could be done IRL.
And chaining motors is fun :D But it's jonzu's call really.
-
IMO, motor Chaining is realistic.
-
I came up with a better idea then my HS.
-
Bump
Mine (and 027's) Bots will be sent in a few minutes. (and you haven't updated page 1 yet Jonzu)
-
Yes, update first page. I want to see my name in this list.
-
List Updated.
-
Where is I? Do you got my bot?
-
No I didn't get it...
-
Sent !
-
I`ll enter DirtDevil 2 for fun :D
-
Hey, is it OK if I send a bot from wafflez2damax? He built a bot when I first showed him RA2, back like a year ago (before I joined the forum). I still have it, it's realistic, and since no one's entering...
-
Hey Jonzu, you think you could reserve me a place?
-
Badnik: Sure.
GF: only, if you send a bot.
-
Sure thing, Jonzu. I'll work on something soon.
-
you should update the first post.
-
Why?
-
because it should be kept up to date ??
-
Oh. Yeah...
-
Then update it.
-
Why?
cause at least Naryar and I sended something
-
First Page Updated.
-
Did I enter this? I completely forgot...XD
-
Yerp.
-
Signups have been open since May and you're nowhere near 32 bots... maybe you should start this when you reach 16? Or 24 at the most. Otherwise we could be waiting for a long time.
-
Agreed.
-
There is still lots of other Tourneys in signups section, so I would like to wait for 32 Entries, so my tourney could be after them...? And I think, that when BBEANS6 Ends, I'm getting lots of entries...
-
Can I upgrade my bot?
-
I have been a bit busy to sort all this stuff out but
Sign Ups will have a 30 expiry limit.. once that time comes around they must press on with the amount of entries that have
-
Okay Joey, I'll start this when I get 16 entries?
-
up to you, you can move ahead at 16 or hold out the 30 days and try and get as much as you can but you could end up with a heap of byes
just see how you go with entrant amounts
-
Yeah, I changed it to 16 Entries now...
-
How come i'm not up there
-
I'll send something later tonight.
-
I'll add you Preytor..
-
Hang on Jonzu, I'll send something tonight. If this is a standard no-bells-and-whistles stock tourney with OOTAing allowances, I'm in.
-
I'll add you Preytor..
Thanks sorry if i seemed rude
-
Signups are now closed. I'll start the AIng tomorrow.
-
Can I send my real entry that's on my other Computer that is getting fixed if i AI it too.
-
I would usually say no, but this time I say yes.
-
Signups are now closed. I'll start the AIng tomorrow.
Shoot. I was looking forward to entering this. I'd prepared an entry and everything, and I was going to send it off today...
...Probably would've failed anyway, mind you.

You can replace me in this list
-
You sure?
-
Yes, my bot sucks and I can't upgrade it.
-
Well, if you're absolutely sure...we'd better let Jonzu know.
-
Just PM him
-
OK then...
And before I do so, thank you so much! = D
-
Good luck ;)
-
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you in the next one ^_^
-
*insert robosmiley here*
GoldenFox93 tooks Daemon's place.
-
OK then Jonzu, I'll have my entry sent into you by Midnight where I am,
(IE. GMT-Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London), 12:00pm.
-
When do you think this will start
-
Well, I'm getting the computer that has my real entry tomorrow or the next day.
-
this really needs to move along, nearly 2 months since it was opened in sign ups
-
I'm going to start AIng the bots, when I get to Tarttila...
-
I have to drop out
-
Why?
-
So?
is there something going on?
-
Sigh... I've been on a long trip at this week, tonight I'm coming home and I can continue this...
-
(DP)
These members needs to send new bot.
GoldenFox93 (Unrealistic)
Gameking3 (Popups are forbidden!)
(Edit)
quickest gets the last place!
-
please be wary that you keep removing the sign ups open/closed icon each time you edit post 1
-
Okay joe... I can't change the icon, because I'm using phone.
-
(DP)
Signups are now closed, I just recieved T_Koistinen's bot. Splash is done and now I'll start AIng...
-
Can you post the Splash?
-
Unfortunately not... I cant post images or files from my phone...
-
So when should you be able to post it then?
-
Probably on Monday...
-
'Kay then.
"Dammit, this wait is going to be the end of me" GF93 thinks.
-
Yes! I've done it! I have AIed every bot! :mrgreen:
Splash: Done
Brackets: Done
AI: Done
Good Recorder: Done
1st match filmed: tomorrow!
Brackets & Vids thread: on Monday!
Darn! I'm so excited! :mrgreen:
-
But why Monday? It's Tuesday today, isn't it? = P
-
Because I'm at Jämsä, and I'm going to Tarttila on Monday. It means, that I cant post images or videos from Jämsä.
-
Oh alright...what are they though? I'm not exactly an expert on stuff in Finland = P
-
They are towns in Finland. My mum lives at Jämsä, and my Dad lives at Tarttila.
-
OK then.
Hope you enjoy it = )
-
Enjoy what?
-
Your trip.
Then I'll look forward to seeing how Mea Culpa does in its battles = P
-
Mea Culpa was unrealistic. And I'm not having any trip. :D
-
Mea Culpa was unrealistic.
So you want me to get rid of it, then?
-
Too late. T_Koistinen took your place. All bots are AIed and I will start filming today.
-
GF93 can have my place.
I'm droping out because I have no RA2 stuff anymore.
-
It's OK. If Jonzu doesn't want me in, that's fine by me.
But then again, I'll be fine with sending in a remade version.
-
Okay then... GoldenFox93 can take 090901's place. Send your bot for me ASAP.
-
OK then.
-
Remember, realistic Rule and no popups.
-
Would a wedged hammer be alright? (IE. Like Wedge Tracker from BBEANS1)
-
We'll see...
-
For reference, here's the splash-
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/entries1.jpg (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/entries1.jpg)
-
I know what it looks like.
-
Oh OK.
Wait, what am I doing here? I've got a new entry to finish!
-
Sending entry.
Not bad for something I produced in an hour, in my opinion.
