Title: Middleweight Mosh Pit
Post by: Wolfsbane on May 17, 2014, 12:15:22 PM

Stock MW
1 entry per person, 16 entries
no BFE/AAM/Paint Puffing
The rules will be similar to Ironbot, but I'll give you a gist here.

Bots must move via wheels, not other components.
Bots must have 2 powered wheels  or more.
No popups allowed.
Limit of 2 casters this time around.
Once a Component breaks, it is lost for the rest of the tournament.
You get spare wheels equivalent to 1/2 of the total wheels on your bot.
You get one spare control board.
Matches are 30 seconds with no immobilization warning.
Arena is Containment Cube.
I STRONGLY recommend that you AI your bot with Omni, but if not, i'll try to work around it.
You are eliminated when you only have 1 or 0 powered wheels left, or when you are ko'd with no spare cb
winners and losers will be divided into 2 groups and all the winners fight each other, and all the losers fight each other.
If there is an odd number of bots in both groups, one from each group will fight each other.
If there is an odd number of bots total, the bot in the loser's group gets a bye.
Once we are down to 4 bots, they will engage in a battle to the death with no immobile warnings for 2 minutes until we have a winner.
Prizes for the top 4 bots will be a reserved spot in my next tournament.

Thoughts?

Sounds cool, I will definitely enter. I think it may be a HS fest though XD

If this is Ironbot in the way that components that fall off stay off, I don't think that's manageable at this level.

Me and Click have been talking a lot in PMs, and he helped me get the scripting to work. If you think i'm bluffing I can show you proof.

That's fair enough, if you feel you can take the project on then go for it :)

I thik it would be better to ban HS'es as well. Makes it more interesting.

I would just ban normal HS then, not HS hybrids.

I don't think you should do something as complicated as this after all of your past failures. Just try to complete a simple 16 bot single/double elimination vanilla tournament.
