Allright, It's time for signups... The rules are:

1. 16 bots allowed, last 4 entrants will go into a wildcard rumble.
2. DSL SuperHeavyweight in the combat zone arena with hazards off
3. No cheatbot or replica parts
4. No custom components
5. All building done in botlab, so no BFE, AAM, or any of that cheaty stuff, skinning is allowed (nearly required)
6. multibots are allowed, both bots must add up to no more that 1200 kg
7. Multibots must both be beaten to count as a win.
8. 'loose' realistic rule will apply. This is standard realism, with slight allowances of breaking realism for looks only.
9. Don't bother with Narmour, it won't work.
10. matches will be 3 minutes, 1 on 1, best 2 out of 3, with a losers bracket
11. Standard Havok restart rules. You get 1 free, Cause a second one and your bot is DQ'd for that round.
12. I can and will AI for those who can't, but AI'ing your own bot is the preferred method. If I AI it and it's not what you wanted, the imperfection is yours. No Whining.
13. custom .py's allowed, not including the cheaty type (healing damage, constant damage, etc. etc.)
14. You must make a decent effort to make your bot look like it was built out of something else.
15. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as we can get the idea of what it is supposed to be.
16. Beyond that, most bot types allowed, save for trinity flyers, nasty pickles, or bumblers.
17. In this tourney at least, the old adage of "size doesn't matter" happens to be true. Who cares if the can of dew is as big as the lawnmower?
18. The most important rule, this is for fun...

I have two gauranteed spots for the winner and runner up of Survival of the Fittest, 090901 and Ogre. Other than them, it's first come, first served. I am only going to enter if the signups do not get filled in a timely manner.

These are the rules, they cannot change. (Can we make an acronym out of that? ...TATRTCC. No, probably not.)

You could do TRAP (These Rules Are Permanent).

The spider is smart!

Oh, I am in. Will send bot later today. :D

IT'S A TRAP!

Oh, and just a heads up for any Loophole abusers out there...You cannot enter, say, Hypnodisc by passing it off as a toy of Hypnodisc. Technically, it would obey the letter of the law, but breaks the spirit. Just popped in my head that it could happen.

(3 months from approval)

yoda9726 · « **Reply #6 on:** April 05, 2011, 06:31:36 AM »

Woops. That's what I get for posting this right after waking up. Signups will end no later than April 26th or when they fill up, whichever comes first. At the point of signup closure, everyone will have 1 week to send any updates (ONCE).

Anything else?

Thyrus · « **Reply #7 on:** April 05, 2011, 06:37:05 AM »

just send. how many updates do we have?

yoda9726 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 05, 2011, 06:41:55 AM »

Just one, make it count

Hydro · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2011, 07:21:59 AM »

SAME!!
Definately same!

kill343gs · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2011, 08:28:04 AM »

Can the update only be a minor change, or can we change our replica completely?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2011, 10:38:58 AM »

Won't be able to send in my bot till Friday, as I'm in the middle of moving and don't want to try to rebuild the snow blower on my laptop.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #13 on:** April 05, 2011, 01:17:41 PM »

When u post a name in signups, can you post what they built too? I don't want to accidentally make the same thing as someone else.

kill343gs · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2011, 01:28:29 PM »

someone remind me to send my bot tonight
