Plan B - Signups Closed

[Lightning S.]

The point of this tournament is to get both heavily stock and heavily DSL builders to enter.

The idea is this: each competitor will build a stock and DSL bot. Whatever the weight of one robot is subtracted from 1200 is the maximum weight of the other (DSL-stock multibot under 1200 Kgs, DSL robot can be standard or IRL despite the fact that you're much better off going with standard). Once all competitors are entered, the stock bots will fight first. However, the stock fights will only be twenty-five seconds each. If there is no KO, the DSL bots will fight a standard, three minute match. If there is a KO in the stock class, the DSL bots will not fight. This allows you to really stratagize. Do you want to obliterate your opponent in the stock class so there's no chance for them in the DSL class? Do you want to hope that you survive the destruction in stock so you can get revenge in the DSL class? Do you want to make your robots evenly matched? It's entirely up to you.

Rules
-Stock/DSL SHW multibot (see above)
-Minimum weight for each bot is 175 Kgs
-Multibots (per division) are not allowed.
-25 second stock matches first, then three minute DSL matches if there is no KO in the stock portion of the match.
-Usual glitches are allowed in stock, but BFE, AAM, Hax Mode etc. are not allowed.
-I can AI, although it's preferred that you do it yourself (that being said, no cheaty AIs). If I AI your robot, you may not complain about any AI errors unless I have made an obvious mistake.
-Cheatbot2 and custom components are not allowed. In stock only, you may use the blue snapper and 140cm extenders.
-Robots without controlled movement are banned. Both your stock and DSL bots must have two powered wheels driving the robot fast enough that the robot could not be immobilized on its own.
-1v1 (person) single elimination.
-8 people can enter.
-Arena will be a the Compactor Arena for stock and the Electric Arena 2 for DSL (both with hazards off).
-Any game-altering havoks (I will judge what "game-altering" is) will be reset if they only happen once. Any robot causing this twice is automatically eliminated.
-Winner gets an automatic spot in my next tournament and top 2 will be the first to try my AI pack.
-G.K. gets a free spot if he wishes since he won my last tournament.
-I will not be entering.
-It is preferred you have some sort of (appropriate) theme and team name. You don't have to, but if you don't, I'll give you one.

[Mr. AS]

this idea is pretty cool. already have an idea for this actually. just hoping though that theres still enough interest in building seriously for this to get a decent amount of entries.

[helloface]

Sounds really cool.

Unfortunately I hate stock, so I won't be entering.

I still support your idea though! 

[ty4er]

i'd probably enter, although i feel like having a 1200kg weight limit would be better

[090901]

Unfortunately I hate stock, so I won't be entering.

dude just make a like 90 kg stock bot lol

[Merrick]

I'd enter this. Sounds interesting. 

[helloface]

Meh, it's the whole principal. Thy Sony even look like robots once they have all this crazy stuff on them.
Still, I could enter a caster bot then have a "good" DSL bot...

[Trovaner]

8 competitors x 2 bots = 16 bot tournament

Although having less competitors usually results in less upfront hassle, the number of bots taking part in a tournament greatly influences the amount of time that said tournament takes to complete.

[RedAce]

While this has a bit of a complex idea, it's a cool one, so I might just give this a try.

[Mr. AS]

already have an idea for this actually.

I forgot my idea

[helloface]

Holy crap, I didn't think I'd see you back here. I hope you've got things all sorted out now.

[Naryar]

so we have to share 1200 kg between the stock bot and the DSL bot ? i don't think it is is a good idea because people will enter 150kg gimmick near-invulnerable caster armor beetleweights/unreachable flying guillotine types in stock, or enter a 1150kg stock monstruosity that outwedges and kills everything else and a tiny box with wheels in DSL.


just give equal weight for both. I suggest SHW because SHW stock doesn't happen often.

[G.K.]

Moved to active discussion as per request

[G.K.]

I guess you could create a minimum weight limit for both bots?

In terms of the green tick, just let me know once you're happy and I can move it to signups for you

[G.K.]

Just before I move this across, I've got a couple of questions:

-Are we allowed to create multibots in each divison?
-I assume the usual building glitches are allowed in stock?

These are the rules, they cannot change. This is now a signups topic, and you have 3 months to complete the tournament.


Also, I'd like to use my guaranteed entry to reserve me a spot in the tourney - I'll hopefully have bots to you soon.

[RedAce]

Wait. What's the Compactor Arena again?

[Naryar]

unsure of the 175kg weight limit being enough, but that's a step forward.

[Thrackerzod]

Will def make something for this.  Just gotta think of what to make.
