N00B WARZ V *Signups are closed! Bugger off.*

[Conraaa]

Yeah i'd call it slightly too good.

[Knight]

You know what would be an easy fix for the issue of having robots that aren't "nooby" enough? Either have someone who's never played the game before build your entry, or have someone else on here make it for you. That way, it removes the problem of people making entries that are semi-competent.

[Conraaa]

I don't have to accept everything that comes my way, I can reject things that aren't nooby enough.

[Tashic]

This is Pointer! A slight modification of my first robot ('cause of the weight limit).

THAT's perfect for Noob Warz if you ask me

[Conraaa]

If it can actually turn around then it's perfect Tashic.

Also with regard to the tournament. It will start very early February. Once i've bought a webcam I can point at my CRT screen. Pits in the Metal Skull and Octagon arenas will active slightly later than usual. And each robot will get one free havok restart per match before being disqualified.

[Jonzu95]

I'm tempted to rebuild my very first robot and enter with it.

[Tashic]

Ok I AI'd that robot and yes, it does turn, but it's even worse than sentinel!

[Conraaa]

I made a similar robot to try it out for myself and yep it handles awfully. But it actually turns which is better than I thought it'd do so i'll allow it. The one Ecolusian posted in his Ironforge showcase should be fine too. God forbid they get drawn against each other though.

[Scorpion]

I'm down, will probably have to do a remake though sadly, since i lost my original copy ages ago :/

[KingofKings696]

Im in Ill make some silly lil bot for this.

[KingofKings696]

This is very similar to the first bot I made once I figured out I could stick motors on the ends of tribars my original from way back when was heavier with 4 blacks and hpz drive and was steel 10 or something overkill like that. If this is considered too good lmk and I can come up with something else.

[Badnik96]

yeah that'd be way too good

[Naryar]

i cant believe all those people don't get what n00b warz is... maybe it's time to make those rules more explicit, they're mostly done for old guys who were here when n00b warz was a thing

steel 10 in stock? wat?

needs more car steering, axles that do nothing, asymmetrical wheels and bracket wedges

[Conraaa]

Yep it's too good, i'm afraid.

Have a look at past N00b warz splashes, like the ones I linked a few pages prior for inspiration.

[Silverfish]

alright, time to make a razor guy clone. (except worse XD)

[Reier]

rule of thumb for NW4 (which was HWs) is if it could consistently beat emergency it was too good. just apply that to MW when you decide which one to send in. maybe boxer or something.

BY THE WAY EVERYONE WHO IS MAKING A NEW ROBOT FOR THIS:  in previous n00b warz it was illegal to submit bots that were not either the actual bot file of your old bot or an (attempted) exact replica you made of said bot. people that sent in just "lol random n00by bot i just made!!!" were rejected.
obviously conraa can do what he wants but those were the goals I had when i made the others. if this is your intention also conraa i'd make it explicitly clear to everyone to avoid confusion.

For reference, these were the entries for previous n00b warz - it does not contain the ones I rejected for being too good, you can extrapolate those based on the quality of these.

N00b Warz 1 Splash
N00b Warz 4 splash

@conraa i'm telling you this from experience that many many people do not get the point of this tournament and try to send in things with the intention to slaughter the opposition. it can get very tiring to reject submissions and it's definitely subjective, and i know that everyone was on a different level when they made said bot. I tried my best and I know some of the submissions I accepted were better than others, but keep in mind its all in the name of fun. nobody cares if you win n00b warz or if you get annihilated in the first 3 seconds.

have fun, go easy on conraa and just send in like the crappiest bot you have.

[KingofKings696]

Here is my new and worse bot
