Title: MicroMetal 1
Post by: SteveM4 on January 15, 2011, 05:08:44 PM: So here's the idea...

I am going to give it to you simply.

DSL/Realism
Antweight
Octagon Arena (Hazards)
Matches will be 2 minuets
There will be 1 match! (So no second chances)
Loser's bracket
All building in bot lab, only skinning of CHASSIS outside bot lab.
All glitches allowed, but they probably make it unrealistic so yeah
32 enteries
deadline is when we have 32 entries.
Bots may be upgraded twice. A complete bot change once.
Havok restart only if it affects the outcome
Modified ant battery allowed.

Heat 1
1.
2.
3.
4.

Heat 2
1.

Heat 3

Heat 4

You must be joking? Right?

And DSL? Ugh, stock AW would be fun

Even though I can't really complain as RA2TC2 is DSL..

Post by: SteveM4 on January 15, 2011, 05:19:06 PM: Stock AWs for MM2?
Title: Re: MicroMetal 1
Post by: Vertigo on January 15, 2011, 05:21:05 PM: Its your call, but I would prefer Stock AW's now

And you might want to add a unique feature, to seperate this from combatants

I am thinking of something original....
Title: Re: MicroMetal 1

Of DSL AW Tag Team if you must...

Imagine an AW on a heckraiser :P

Also KM, you might want to allow people to use a modified ant battery, like in combatants, with an infinate power supply

Otherwise you're just gonna get 16 rammers, making a pretty boring tourney

The house bots will be replaced by 'idle' hazards (2 Idle flip-only Havoks)

Just to clear, what does the inf ant have over the normal ant?

1) Great, much better choice IMO
2) You'll have to find a way to get the other AI bots to ignore them...
3) It has 1,000,000 times the power supply :P
Title: Re: MicroMetal 1
Post by: SteveM4 on January 16, 2011, 01:01:34 PM: SO 1 ant could power the whole bot?

Yes, which would allow more weight for the builders, which is really helpful (considering its AW)

This was what was done in combatants 2
Title: Re: MicroMetal 1
Post by: SteveM4 on January 16, 2011, 01:06:52 PM: But isn't less weight the challenge here?

Its your choice, but you will end up with less variety of bots
