The way things are going, I'm willing to bet I could get this through signups and SBV before Craaig even makes his SBV thread.  :laughing

I've made a very quick list of 16 Robot Wars entries that would qualify. Controversially, I have decided to ALLOW Iron Awe. X-Terminator as well.



What I am tempted to do is keep it down to those and randomly allocate the 16 entrants one robot they have to build. Might be a bad idea, might be a challenge. Thoughts?

Good shout. Talking of Tsunami, Major Tom was pretty well battered by X-Terminator before it was flipped out as well.

  I'm not crazy about arbitrarily limiting us to 16.  I think it's great that you've compiled a list, but this is a creativity tournament and you want to do everything in your power to give creative freedoms.  Maybe add a rule saying "If you have an idea that's not on the list PLEASE RUN IT BY ME BEFORE YOU START BUILDING.  Link me to a video of the bot getting destroyed."

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I'll admit the limitation was a bad idea. I may scrap the list and just research the entries as they come to me.

That is neither Battlebots or Robot Wars, so nope.

Of course. The only reason I didn't put up a Battlebots list is because I don't know much about it. I'll research the entry you wish to enter, but it should be fine.

Rebooting this idea.

Rules are up, nobody's pointed out any issues with them, and I can safely say that if you send a robot that you think would qualify, I shall check it when you send it, rather than posting a list.

Mr. Craaig, what else do I need to do in order for this to be ready for a poll and all that jazz?

Just check you've covered everything in the How To Host A Tournament guide, and you may wish to clarify 'realistic' building :P

Expect final ruleset and poll up tonight.

Pretty certain a lot of tournaments have that rule.

Anyway, those rules are nowhere near finished.
