Title: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 22, 2011, 02:13:04 PM
Pot Luck

-DSL HW
-Realistic Rule
-No BFE/AAM
-No Cheatbot2 Parts. Anything found in a clean copy of DSL without using cheatbot2 is fine.
-All in game glitches allowed as long as they abide to the realistic rule.
-I can AI if you really need me to, but i'd suggest doing it yourself if you can. I reserve the right to ask you to AI your own bot if I cannot AI it effectively.
-Bots get one free Havok restart per match, if they Havok again the robot is disqualified.
-3 minute long matches. If robots are still alive at the end of the match I will decide on the total points for the team.
-Narmour be gonetm enabled
-16 bots. Standard double elimination (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,6861.0.html) bracket. Just getting that out there.

The fun part for this tourney is that before you build your robot. Everyone chucks a robot type into a virtual hat. (HS/VS/Popup etc). When I have all spaces filled, one robot type will be given out to each person and they will have to build that type of robot. I will also throw a curveball into the mix by assigning an extra type to one person. Multibot. Just to mix things up.

You will also chuck an arena into another, arena themed pot. I will then draw one arena from this pot and this would decide the arena for the tourney. Whatever happens this is going to be interesting.

For example, say it were a small, 4 bot bracket, it would work like this:

Quote
Jeff enters and selects HS. His arena choice is the Combat arena.
Bob enters and selects Vs. His arena choice is the Bbeans arena.
Tim enters and selects Rammer. His arena choice is the Aon 2 arena.
Charles enters and selects Popup. His arena choice is the Bbeans arena.
A jiffy later and it would look like this:

Quote
Jeff has to build a Rammer *Multibot*
Bob has to build a Popup
Tim has to build a Hs
Charles has to build a VS

The arena choice is the Bbeans arena.
Rules on robot types you choose:

-You can choose the robot type, but you can't go any more specific than that. You also cannot select hybrids. I've probably worded that badly so here's some examples to make it clearer.

Sheck Spinner - Yes
Flail Sheck Spinner - No
Rammer - Yes
Concussion Rammer - No
Flipper - Yes
Inertia flipper - No
Flying Guillotine - Yes
Horizontal Spinner/Hammer hybrid - No

-You can choose the same robot type as someone else. So 2 people could choose Rammer or something. However, a robot type cannot be chosen more than 4 times overall.

When choosing the arena you want to chuck into the pot. There are a few rules for this aswell. Sorry.

-No seizure arena, tabletop arenas or king of the hill arenas.
-If I cannot find the arena you chose easily. Then it shall be up to you to find a download link for me.
-If the arena lags up the game/is impossible to film a match well in, then I shall have to politely ask you to choose another arena.
-You can choose the same arena as another person. You and someone else both want the same arena chucked into the pot? By all means. Increase the chance of that arena getting chosen.
-You can choose whether to turn the hazards on or off. I'm probably going to regret saying that.

But, before you enter. Think to yourself. "Do I have the time to build any robot type the GTM community could throw at me? If I get hampered with a bad robot type, am I willing to enter it anyway? Would I not moan to high heaven if I got a bad robot type? If something happens which means I can’t send a robot in, will I tell the host?” Please go through this mental checklist before entering.

Entrants:
(As soon as the spaces are filled, I will shuffle the bot types around and distribute them, you will then have a 3 weeks to build the robot and get it to me. In that time period you can update as many times as you want. Warning: If you don't submit your bot before the deadline, your bot/space is up for grabs by the backup brigade.)

The Backup brigade:
(Yes, Badnik's favourite backup brigade is back! If you miss out on the main bracket. Then you can join the Backup Brigade. If you are needed, you will take that person's robot type and you will get an extra week on top of the normal deadline to build the robot. You will not get to choose an arena/bot type. But you will get eternal satisfaction in the knowledge that you prevented a bye. The Backup Brigade is limited to 4 people)

UPDATE:
The shuffling is complete.

Good lord what have I done.

Badnik Freeziez-True Popup (Blame GK)
Yoda-Popup (Blame Scorpion)
Trumpetguy-Hammer (Blame Scrap Daddy)
MikeNCR-Rammer (Blame Hydro)
Urjak-SNS (Blame Trumpetguy)
Scrap Daddy-Flying Guillotine (Blame S_M)
Hydro-Vertical Clamp (Blame SKBT)
R1885-Crawler (Blame Joeblo)
Ty4er-Drum (Blame Badnik96) *Gets the multibot wildcard!*
S_M-Sawbot (Blame Yoda9726)
Scorpion Martymidget-Rammer (Blame NFX)
Joeblo MassimoV-HS (Blame Ty4er)
NFX-Sheck Spinner (Blame Urjak)
Madman3 GarvinTheGreat-Flipper (Blame MikeNCR)
GK-Full Body Drum (Blame R1885)
SKBT-TRFBD (Blame Madman3)

Green: Accepted and Ai'd
Blue: Accepted
Red: Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!

Arena Chosen: Small Arena-Hazards Off-As chosen by Badnik and Joeblo
Quote from: Conraaa on July 07, 2011, 04:42:48 PM
Dp: Due to problems with the small arena, I have decided to re-roll the arena choice. Namely because the low start points. How on earth is Scrap Daddy going to make a flying guillotine that low? I've also heard a few other people having problems because of it.

The new arena is Keznorg IGC. (Hazards Off) I apologize I didn't spot this earlier. You still have until the 14th to submit your bots.

You now have until the 14th of July to make your robots.
Quote from: Conraaa on July 15, 2011, 04:22:12 AM
That is exactly what I am going to do, Urjak.
Good news: People who haven't got their bot in? You have until the 21st.
Bad news: People who haven't got their bot in? The backup brigade have until the 21st to possibly nab your spot.

As G.K and Ty4er took the time to try and make a robot and send it in, I have asked the backup brigade to not nab their spots.
...This is going to be fun.

The Onslaught arena doesnt have the AI paths in it (unless someone has fixed it)

So all the AI robots will drive straight forward and into the pit..

I've just had the sudden realisation that there is a chance someone may have to make a multibot flying guillotine to fight on the ocean platform.

It's been in there since the op of the discussion thread so I have just added it in.

When you take out the example and the entrants part at the end they actually aren't that bad. Besides, i'd rather make them comprehensive than miss something out.

either

Vertical Clamp (or Clamp if you want to bring it to basic types)

or

SOW (Servo Orientated Weapon)

I'd say clamp myself..

Post by: SKBT on June 23, 2011, 08:25:12 AM
Omnivore (https://gametechmods.com/TournamentFiles/botm/oct10/005.png) was an attempt at making an effective clampbot. (I was going to write more but everyone else seems to have described and catagorized it.)

Vertical Clamp it is then.

Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 23, 2011, 09:53:32 AM

The idea of the backup brigade is to jump in and save the day if someone doesn't get a robot in.

It's basically what Omnivore was in the BotM a while back.

I hope I don't end up in a wedge vs. wedge match. Because I'm almost certainly going to lose, given how abysmal my wedges normally are. =)
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on June 23, 2011, 05:13:13 PM
What I believe a Vertical Clamp is something which applies constant pressure down on the opponent. Rather than a hammer which just repeatedly hits the opponent.

That was probably me being captain obvious but oh well.
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: G.K. on June 23, 2011, 05:24:55 PM

Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: yoda9726 on June 23, 2011, 06:18:56 PM
Just for clarifications sake, because I always forget which is which.  A popup is what compared to a true popup?
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: NFX on June 23, 2011, 06:20:28 PM
Regular Popups fire their weapons forwards from the back. True Popups fire their weapons upwards from under the front wedge, a bit more like a conventional flipper.
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: yoda9726 on June 23, 2011, 06:21:28 PM
gotcha, and thanks.  Don't know why that's so hard for me to remember.
Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: NFX on June 23, 2011, 06:25:33 PM
I think it's because popups have been firing forwards for so long, people assume that's the "True" version of a popup.
Title: Re: Pot Luck

It jumps into the air and gets stuck on its back against the arena wall rendering it vulnerable.

DP: Madman3 pulled out, and Freeziez didn't reply in a reasonable time frame so GarvinTheGreat gets Madman's spot. He has to build a flipper and as per the rules he gets an extra week so he has until the 21st.

Dp: Due to problems with the small arena, I have decided to re-roll the arena choice. Namely because the low start points. How on earth is Scrap Daddy going to make a flying guillotine that low? I've also heard a few other people having problems because of it.

The new arena is Keznorg IGC. (Hazards Off) I apologize I didn't spot this earlier. You still have until the 14th to submit your bots.

Title: Re: Pot Luck
Post by: Conraaa on July 15, 2011, 04:22:12 AM
That is exactly what I am going to do, Urjak.
Good news: People who haven't got their bot in? You have until the 21st.
Bad news: People who haven't got their bot in? The backup brigade have until the 21st to possibly nab your spot.

As G.K and Ty4er took the time to try and make a robot and send it in, I have asked the backup brigade to not nab their spots.

I would have sent mine in yesterday, but it's contracted AGOD....
Title: Re: Pot Luck

Be quick, I don't think the two remaining members of the Backup Brigade are going to be fighting over a flying guillotine.

I think thats enough intensive for some people to not send in a bot.
 
In the event that the one eyed one horned flying purple people eater does fight. Please use the song about it as the fight music.

Lol, I highly doubt anyone will need us though, If I were on the main bracket there would be NO WAY I would miss out on this.
Hmmm. Guess like I was wrong. I bet we'll have to have another backup brigade team.
