Are you tired of mundane tournaments, with the same been there, done that style? Then welcome to the Robotic Operation Test Of Supremacy, R.O.T.O.S. This is your chance to rise, your chance to shine, YOUR time to be great, by building to our challenges, crush your opponents, and prove your worth. This challenge will not be easy, you will be competing with the finest builders (Hopefully), and newer builders, all ready to make scrap metal of your bot. You better be ready to battle to the death, because once your bot goes through those doors, there's no turning back.
Now, you must be asking, "but whats the catch?". Simple, you can only build one of eight bot types, and each will be restricted in some way. Also, the bots must be built in DSL, HW, realistic rule applies, and only DSL2.1 parts will be allowed.
Allowed bot types, and there restrictions are:
- Pop-up: Must use small JX burst motors, wedges must be on BSG burst motors
- Horizontal Spinner: No weapon motors above 100 kigs, no more than 100 kigs of weapon mass(Chaining is premited)
- Vertical Spinner: Same as HS, no bursted wedges
- Juggler: All weapons must be the same, only Mag motor weapon motors
- Flipper: Only Mag motors OR Small JX motors
- Rammer: No Hypno, TD, OK, DSL(Both types), Tornado, Vlad, the car wheels, WBC, or any grippy wheels of any kind.
- Hammer: Only Beta burst motors
- Poker: One piston must hold all weapons, and must only use regular NPC motors.
- Full Body Spinner: None. In fact, you get another 200 kigs to work with.
NOTE: We despise hybrids of any kind, any attempt will be removed promptly. You may only have two weapon systems, if and only if its a cluster bot.
Prizes are TBA.

SLOTS OPEN FOR ROTOS ULTIMATE: 3
Registration ends at the end of July or if the brackets are full.
R.O.T.O.S., Build, battle, survive, win.
-
Neat idea. WILL JOIN. :D
Do SnSs and SSs fall down to the HS category as well?
-
No.
-
wow this will be really testing :-D been there, done that style? I was tired of that that's why I made Clash Cubes :-D this is nice that all tournaments are having a unique touch to them
-
Oh, and I forgot to mention.
When registration opens, I will drop a bomb shell on you guys be telling you a restriction that will effect all builders. This is just to keep you all guessing.
-
Dang. Must be armor. XD
Oh well, might as well prepare a prototype. :D
-
Indeed this tournament seems interesting... I will see what I can make up.
-
Do the exact same restrictions apply for multibots?
-
Hmmm... Nice idea :)
Might give this one a go
If I can find the time to build something while juggling school and other commitments.
-
I just realized. The new, revised Hum Drums meet all your requirements.
-
He still has the bombshell. XD
-
I will more then likely put my name down for this but not going to build anything until the last bombshell is announced :-D
-
R1885, I can almost gurantee you that you will not have many HSs, as your rules for them really don't make any pratical sense.
-

That's the point. The amount of HS in other tournaments is to much. Its made to very unfriendly to spinners as possible.
-
It's unfriendly to nearly everything else anyways...
Do you know that Beta bursts aren't very good for hammers?
-
This tourney is basically taking away all the good parts... Hmm...
-
Mag snappers FTW!
-
Mag snappers FTW!
Hell yes. Mag snappers are tiny, though 2 can lift a HW at full power and 4... well see HnM.
-
What arena?
-
Mag snappers are smaller, yet more powerful than BSGs. Weird..
-
FRONT PAGE UPDATED:
We here at ROTOS uderstand your reaction, we will state the imitations in more depth.
Drums do not count as VS, they count as a difrent weapon class. Hum-Drums, there for, are not legal entrys.
The Beta burst motor was picked becuse its a bad hammer motor. But you may the Beta hammer motor.
The arena will be the DSL arena.
Mag-snappers where chosen due to their usefulness, we want builders to have a at least one good part.
That is all,
-R1
-
And how about the part limitation on MW's, if i want to use a multibot ?
-
noobish question, but what the heck is a "Hum-Drum"?
-
A multi-bot that was in RAW.
-
ah. ok :-D thanks. me's no longer confused.
-
Why did you limit us to snapper wedges on some bots?
-
I dont think nubcicles should be allowed to even start topics ><
-
So DSL Tournament arena...
by two weapon systems, that means different types of weapons?
-
Yes, of course.
UPDATE:
The bombshell idea is a bit more complex than you all thought it was, there are SIX bombshell, but only one will be used. The method is random for fairness, this way, I can't build a bot ahead of time.
I will use a six sided dice, if it lands on a number, that will be the bombshell.
They are:
1: Bots must use DSA armor.
2: Bots must use a pre-built chassis from the old stock bots.
3: Bots must be 700 kigs or lower
4: Bots must use Steel or Alu.
5: Bots must be human controlled(I.e. Online battle)
6: Nothing, bomb is a dud.
Be ready for any of these bombshell, any thing can happen.
That is all.
-
If it's 5, I'm doomed. x_x
Oh wait, is it a random bombshell per player?
-
No, it effects all.
-
#5 is going to be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY Hard to do. For your sake, don't do it.
-
hey R1885 if the dice shows up with a 5 give it a little nudge will ya :mrgreen:
stock bots chassis ? do you AI bots included or just the ones like atom smasher, barbershop bot etc
-
I might enter my first ever multibot but whats the bombshell *epic noise*
edit: isn't #1 is useless in DSL?
-
Exactly. But hey, it affects all. So everyone has a fair chance.
-
maybe number 5 should be something like cant use wheels have to have sawblades, extenders, pistons or weapons as a means of movement
-
UPDATE: Registration has stated!
Also, this games bombshell is:
1:DSA armor
When battles start, I will send both players a password and a date.
That is all.
R1
PS: The arena will be the AON2 arena.
-
Oh, shoot. My internet's been buggy for the past month. Sorry R1, but I can't join this one. :(
-
sorry but I will give this a miss too, Time Zone issues are a big one for me
-
On second thought, lets just make it DSA for all.
-
YAY
-
that is a better option but just one thing... how are you going to check if bots have it ??? I mean opening the amour tab gets rid of DSA doesn't it ?
-
Hmm, good point.
-
As long as you don't click any of the armor types in the armor tab, the DSA won't get replaced.
-
This tournament kills originality.
-
When battles start, I will send both players a password and a date.
I get it that we need DSA for all the bots, but what does this part mean?
-
Nah. It was supposed to be an online battle, but he changed his mind.
-
the final bombshell WAS online battle but people started dropping out left right and center so it was changed to DSA and the post was edited but R1885 forgot to delete that part
-
Aaaaahhhh...
I see.
I have a good bot.
-
Darnit. This does kill originality. I'm having a hard time coming up with a different setup so it isn't a clone. >.<
-
yeah that's why for the heck of it im most likely going to make a hammer bot, I know it will most likely fail but it has the least restrictions which = more originality :-D
-
Oh yeah. What arena are you gonna use?
-
Umm, this IS still going to happen. Did anyone even remember this?
-
This looks fun. Count me in!
-
I guess I will register... How much time after registration close do we have to submit a bot?
-
End of July.
-
I am still interested but put me down as a maybe for now as my work load may be fairly high for July
-
not too sure about this, but I might as well give it a try, put me down as a maybe
-
Won't be easy to make something original and a killer with all these dumb restrictions but i'll try.

Thats why im trying, because of the restricitions. I like a challenge
-
I would like to say that I will accept bots like this, restriction free:
http://www.teamwhyachi.com/whynot.htm (http://www.teamwhyachi.com/whynot.htm)
NOTE: Its a Full body spinner, NOT a SnS.
-
are popups the ones with the razors coming up from in the bot and retracting back in??? I would like to join this to. I'm still confuded what DSA is??? If someone can answer these questions thx
-
For your first question: Yes
For your second question: DSA stands for double-strength aluminum. You get it by ignoring the armor menu in the botlab. It's very effective in stock, but sucks in DSL.
-

ok thx, @R1885 I would like to join then:)
-
I don't think I'm gonna make a popup it seems to hard to make a decent one;) I'll make one for RR's tourney. Another question is an example of a Full body spinner: Grog the Vengeful also sense it says they get a aditional 200kigs, is the final weight of them 1000 sense a normal HW is 800???
-
Heh, I'll have a go at this.
BTW Viper, Grog isn't a Full Body Spinner, it's a shell spinner.
An FBS has the chassis rotating rather than an external shell
-
Nope, Grog is a shell spinner, not a full body spinner.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17577Spin.PNG)
This is a better example of a FBS. The outer bot spins, but the servos remain in place. Thurs, the bot can move as its spinning. The disadvantage is that it slow, you can't use normal drive motors with wheels for the navbot, only servos or saw blade wheels. I gave 200 extra killos to work with because they don't do well, both in game and life. Y-pout's record, 0-2, Y-not's, 1-2.

O ok thx, of course WTH was I thinking lol. Now I just got to find an example and ill be good to go, ok nvm this will work ^^^^^^^^

U weren't lying there garbage, The one u pm is very slow is that example the fastest FBS can go or can they be made faster??? I might go back to popup's ;D.Ya I'm defiantly doing a POPUP I coulden't find the JX but now I know where it is so going to start building :D
-
I had a robot based off Y-Pout for hydros tournament, I will most likely send that one after a bit of work
-
Some more updates:
Brackets are going to be Round Robin(You fight every other bot in the tournament, the bot with the most wins wins.)
I also will allow a side tournament, made for complete fun and has no impact on the main.
ROTOS Ultimate:
Rules:
There is none.
Make it as heavy as you want
Screw Defaults
AAM at your leisure
Custom=Yes
Its a do anything side tourney. There is no restrictions. Make it any way you want. However, entrants will be not be shown, and I will only accept four. First come, first serve.
-
Ill sign up for both tournaments:gunz:.
-
I'll sign up for both.
I make entrys,get owned, revamp it, send it, get owned again.
-
wait so I can make custom parts that do 99999999999999999999999999999 damage ??? and stick 50 + on a shell spinner and enter ?
-
If Mad enters ATOM...
-
...We are dead.
-
H@z killed it once. :P
*imagines Click's Frosty vs. ATOM*
*uber-happy*
-
WTF!? ME WANTS PROOF!
-
If I can I would like to enter Twisted Tornado in ROTOS Ultimate :P I have to build it first tough.
-
@SSG - Win.
@ LRA2 - (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84126ZOMG.jpg)
Which reminds me. My bot is just halfway done. Darn. XD
-
I might have a chat to mad about py files :P
-
Don't forget to add the life-leeching part! :P
-
Mine is going to be brute force, I dont need no cheaty life stealing :P And If you try to attack mine with brute force, its not going to work :P Invisible Indestructible armor FTW!
-
COPE + Super SnS? :P
-
Have you seen that bot: Toally not AAM that I posted some time ago? Just imagine something among those lines, exept its not going to be a drum bot.... Or is it?
-
I have my entry for the normal bracket, but it's not DSA... is there a .bot file edit for this I can do? As you may know, I'm going away for 2 weeks from tomorrow morning, so if this is gonna start before then, I need a quick fix now so I can enter my bot. Thankssss...
-
Say, when are bots due for this side tournament? Because im not going to be able to build/submit anything on saturday and sunday. I will be about 400 Km away from my computer, so its not so easy to use it ^^
-
Its up until filled, only room for four bots.
-
Ok, I think I will start working on it right away.
Also, you should update the entrants list on the first post, its empty exept for you.
Also #2: Did anyone notice the white text on post #82?
-
Did anyone notice the white text on post #82?
No, but what's in the white text is decidely interesting :P
-
Yep, and im already over 3 tons with only, batteries, weapon motors and the armor attached :P
-
DP, I subitted ROTOS Ultimate entry, its egiupped with Anti-Atom system so, victory is basically mine, since it makes mincemeat of everything in a split second :P
-
sounds lovely :P I dont think I will enter ultimate I no longer have the time to do as I planned so I think I will just sit back and watch the fun :P
also Ribbs can you update the first post or something ? I have no idea how many people are doing this ??
