Title: Orphans
Post by: Merrick on October 03, 2013, 06:36:25 PM
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'.

Interesting idea, but some sort of list of acceptable bots that were"trashed" might be a good idea.
Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on October 05, 2013, 10:41:27 AM
I'm game for pretty much everything related to Robot Wars.  But I'm concerned about the lack of possibilities.  I mean, the majority of possibilities are joke bots like Granny's Revenge.  And quite a few of the most memorable destroyed bots (Splinter, Shapeshifter, Hammerhead, Iron Awe) weren't orphaned.


I don't know if this could be considered stepping on Craaig's toes, but why not just do the same thing as him, only with the inclusion of Battlebots and HW instead of MW?
Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: playzooki on October 05, 2013, 11:14:05 AM
Define trashed.

Personally, i would do this as any robot that stopped working in its final match. So getting flipped over doesnt count. ;)

Seems pretty clear to me.

No, oota alone isn't "trashed".

just make sure to clear up if "realism rule" refers to dsl-s or dsl-irl. i can tell that it is irl because of the cheat parts allowed (nobody would be foolish enough to allow cheatbot in standard, lol) but some newer users might not be able to.

Post by: AlexGRFan97 on October 05, 2013, 11:51:17 AM
I believe Chaos 2 would be a big robot to make a successor to. Maybe someone could make Quasar?
Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: Merrick on October 05, 2013, 05:17:54 PM
Robot Wars examples would be the likes of Sir Chromalot, Robogeddon, Milly Ann Bug, Chaos 2....Splinter would NOT be an option as another model was made and entered Series 5. It must be the last appearance that it was destroyed.

Battlebots examples will need a bit more time to be researched, as I don't know much about them, but with only 16 entrants (my first tournament) it shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

I can draw up a list if people want, and more informative rules.

If it was their last televised appearance, that's all that matters. Splinter, as said, would not qualify. Shapeshifter could be a free reign to build anything, as both machines were vastly different. I might make an exception and not allow Iron Awe though, they're onto 7 now.....

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 might take away some of the Robot Wars association by making it in the DSL Tournament arena though.
Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on October 05, 2013, 05:35:54 PM
Yeah, I think the best course of action would be to provide us with a list of at least 24 acceptable choices - optimally you want a different bot for each person, without anyone getting stuck with a really crappy choice.

Bots like Iron Awe and X-Terminator are going to be a grey area, because while they were trashed on their last televised appearance, they were fixed afterwards.

Love the concept for the tournament. But I feel that Resetti has a point of bots like Iron Awe and X-Terminator. The way its described in the rules (with us knowing they are subject to change) Is that those bots could be allowed as they were trashed in their last televised appearance. but I could sort of see the debate

Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: Merrick on October 06, 2013, 08:27:53 AM
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?

  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."

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

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.

Title: Re: Orphans

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?
Title: Re: Orphans

Annoyingly, yes. Ah well. I should have been a bit more inventive myself, really.

Yeah, I managed to get some AI'ing sorted before I accidentally broke my game.

Re-did it all, got everything working, but now SoR won't fire it's flipper. Very confusing.

Senstro accepted.

Sorry, Mystic, you were too slow in sending your robot in, Chaos 2 is now taken.

Title: Re: Orphans

Kurt Wylde and Camaro Kid accepted.

There are now just 3 spots available, 4 if the last entrant gets in before SKBT, which is starting to look likely.

Scrapped Diabolus, working on Nightmare now.

Didn't Nightmare appear in an event where he destroyed a bunch of household objects?
Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: Badnik96 on February 11, 2014, 07:01:25 PM
His last BB appearance was him being destroyed by Warhead. That means it counts.

This guy gets it.

I've now recieved Badnik's and Helloface's entries, but can't check them out yet as I'm on my phone.

Assuming they're legal, there are now TWO spots remaining.

That's fine, I can AI for you.

Do you know how to upload something to the BoxExchange? That's all you need to do and I can download it from there.

To enter officially, I would send him a link to your legal bot on the exchange when it is uploaded via a Personal Message (See the little message balloon under his avatar? That'll do it).

Title: Re: Orphans
Post by: Merrick on February 12, 2014, 10:48:55 AM
Badnik and helloface accepted, drakemike22 rejected.

EDIT: I actually accepted Kurt without looking at the robot, that was stupid of me. Now that I've realised I'm a robot short and Kurt's was the one, I've noticed it's not IRL. Have informed him.
