I like the idea and I think I've got one but I don't know if it counts, I'll post mine later though.

Ok, this is probably a stupid idea, but I'm gonna post it anyway.

I was thinking of doing my own tournament because why the hell not, and decided to plan it out in a similar vein to Craaig's Robot Wars 2005 idea, by basically building a successor to a competing robot, but this time in either Robot Wars and/or Battlebots.

However, your choices of robot to build is limited, in that the competing robot must have been completely trashed up and destroyed in their final appearance, hence the new entry is an 'Orphan'.



RULES
- DSL 2.1
-Heavyweight/HW (Up to 800.0kg)
- IRL
- WhamettNuht's Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack Arena
- 3 minute matches
- No NARmour
- No AAM, NCR glitch, Trov Glitch, etc
- You are allowed to BFE the chassis height, but no other BFE allowed.
- You cannot be entered until a bot is received and accepted.
- You may upgrade a robot any number of times until signups close.
- I will AI your robot for you, if you don't know how. However, don't complain if I don't do it right, I only have basic AI skills.

BATTLES
- 16 Robots, in Robot Wars Series 3 format. Single Elimination
- 8 1v1 fights in round 1, then 4 fights, etc.
- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- There will be grudge matche requests and possibly a rumble (time permitting) after the tournament.

CHEATBOT2

Here is my entry, Son Of Robogeddon:



And so, to signups! The rules above may not change. You have 3 months. Enjoy! :)

Just a Question if a bot has 2 weapon systems (like Stealth with the Disc and Flipper) can we get rid of one or do we have to keep both of them ?

You can just have the one weapon.
Hell, the first entry I recieved doesn't even bare resemblance to the original, so don't worry about weapon accuracy.
