Introducing - the first NAR AI tournament !

Signups started - you might now send NAR AI bots to me

-12 entries plus me
-All entrants will fight each other, like in Battle of the Band (aka 11 or more)
-0 point if you lose, 1 point if you get a WBP/OOTA/immobilization, 2 points if you get a KO. Bots will be classified by points and the bot will more points will be the champion (absolutely not obvious :P)
-Building rules : As in NAR AI (realistic) BFE allowed but under heavy restrictions
-No AAM and cheatbot2 -aka hovercrafts- (apart from smartzones providing)
-Winner gets all tournament entries before all others. Might threw in a few more NAR AI goodies as well
-Bots (or combined weight of multibots) must be 795.0 kg minimum and 800.0 maximum
-No ballasts
-Bots MUST have one Weapon component that deals damage (no loopholing this by having a typhoon spike inside your chassis even if it's a weapon)
-No SFTW's, horrible builds or all around failbots. As they will be in NAR AI, i will ask for decent fighters at least.
-Please AI your bots, if you REALLY can't do it i will but i don't want some BAWWWing because your bot loses AI.
-If the match is clearly influenced by havoks, then the havok-inducing bot loses
-They will be community-voted awards : Most Original Robot, Best Build, Deadliest Robot, Coolest Bot, Most Entertaining Robot.
-All .py's and bindings allowed unless they enhance the stats of the bot in some way.

For the first tournament, here are the special rules:

-NAR AI Mod v2.5 HWs (Multibots allowed, both must weight 800.0 kg or less without smartzones)
-Bots will be in NAR AI v3, 2 teams
-Arena is DSL tournament arena with hazards on
-Signups will start April 20th (NOW) and will end when i will get my entries
-After you send me something legal, i will give you feedback and suggestions to make it better. You might send any number of rebuilds and AI changes, or might ignore my advice - it's up to you really
-Flamethrowers allowed (even on flails)
-NO Mobility components allowed for moving weapons (aka no spinners, flippers, popups, pokers, etc) Static or non-powered flailing weapons ONLY. Only motors allowed are the skirt hinge and metal hinge
-Robots must show controlled movement and must be able to move towards the opponent.
-No crawlers either.
-If two SnS fight each other they will use FBS.py.
-You might use flailing weapons on your robot, but not more than 6 axles used for flails (see the havok rule)
-You can send me skins of existing components for your bots.

Yes, i am being strict, but this is a test of how well can you build with static weapons, and mostly aimed at SnS and rammers as well.

Forgot to ban pistons as well. This is static weapons only.

Looks interesting, Nar.
You might expound on the 'BFE' limitations, cause that is a giant 'can of worms'...
If I can somehow help, let me know.

so basically no noob bots and no noobs entering? (looks at sparkey's bots)

Naryar · « **Reply #8 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:05:58 PM »

Yes, no fail bots.

And yes LLB, no use of any Mobility component for weapons.

Somebody · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2010, 03:32:39 PM »

Crawlers that are good at moving?

Stag isn't a troll.

Are you sure?

Stag isn't a troll.

Half his posts are trying to provoke other members, mainly sparky (Who hasn't done anything to upset him btw.).

It's equatable to me attacking you personally every 2 posts.

In Naryar's words: "A n00b bashing a n00b to look like less of a n00b? FAIL"

"There lived a man called Naryar, who wanted to start a war."

Gaaah, why no spin motors? D:

I reckon this will end up as a Rammer-and-SNS-Fest

ashman12 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:28:26 PM »

well he did say thats what it was aimed at.

BTW Nar im going to try and enter but im afraid my bots arent good enough so i might pass.

cephalopod · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:29:42 PM »

Wow, I literally said what Nary said... and I didn't read that far (stopped at no spin motors :P)

ashman12 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:59:24 PM »
