I'm back again with my second tournament, No Holds Barred. I have ran a poll already to see if anyone wanted this and this was equally as popular as Father and Son 2, so I thought I would start with this was first.
What is this tournament about?
Up to UltraHeavyWeight, entrants have no restrictions, this includes all cheats and all of cheatbot2 (apart from hovercraft engine.) This is just a fun tournament and you shouldn't take it too seriously.
-Make sure your bot is creative as well as an ultimate fighting machine.
-DSL 2.1 Unrealistic
-The arena being used will be Containment Cube (to make sure all but one robot will be destroyed in every match!)
-Don't go too OTT with the glitches (in other words, don't make your robot invincible, because that's no fun but making it sturdy but can be destroyed is fine.)
-16 entrants (may change depending on the speed of things)
-1v1 matches
-Matches have no time limit
-Must show controlled movement in any way.
-Walkers, shufflers, etc. allowed. They won't get a weight bonus as such but only half of their 'legs' will count towards their weight.
-Multibots are not allowed.
-All of cheatbot2 (apart from hovercraft engine) allowed.
-Use of in-game and out-of-game glitches is fine.
-No custom components.
Grudge/Exhibition matches (I'll allow 4 people to arrange a match with any competitor they want after the main tourney is over.)
Viewer's choice rumble (You vote for who should be in a 4-way rumble after the main tourney is over.)
I'm not entering myself because I can't build for anything.
You're entry will be denied if I think the criteria isn't met or the robot is just too bland/boring (i.e. nothing but beta hammers/judge gavels)
I am now taking entries:
1. TommyProductionsInc - Ultra Metallicus
2. S.H.I.E.L.D - Deathstalker
3. Natster-104 - MaLwArE XtReMe
4. 090901 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmPW4hwNurQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmPW4hwNurQ) (no, seriously, that's his name)
5. RFS - The Chaos Engine
6. Clickbeetle - Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth

Orange - I have received your entry and I am about to check it.
Blue - Your entry has passed checking and is going on to AI.
Green - Your entry is accepted.
Red - Your robot has a problem (you'll stay on the list until it's fixed but you can be replaced.)
I will notify anyone who hasn't passed checking and ask them whether they want to try again or leave the tournament.
Just a heads up for the small amount of people that want to build for this, I have changed my mind about the deadline for this. Normally, I would keep signups open as long as need be as I can get the SBV and awards done fairly quick but I don't think I should drag this out any longer. I will give everyone a week (11am BST, Saturday to be exact.) If I get no entries by then, then the matches will be 3 1v1's with a wild card round in the prelims. I never quit on things and I will try to finish what I have started no matter what it is. I will see this through to the end, even if it means this will be a very short tournament. Don't worry though, for the people that wanted it and were hyped up for it, Father and Son 2 will be next.
I'm trying tons of different designs but none are working. Give me another 2 days and I may have something.
Things I've tried so far -
Weapons for Wheels
Torque Hammer
A Tank
A Castle with Cannons
