A tournament different from all the rest...where one builder emerges victorious from the rest...the builder who is most well ready to adapt to any bot challenge thrown at him...only managing to build the best...ARE YOU THIS BUILDER?

Welcome to the inaugural season of RA2: Brawl of the Builders. This is a tournament unlike any other, where only the best will emerge victorious from 'all the rest.' With 16 competitors building, designing, and fighting with all that they have to become the Ultimate Builder. Each builder will be seeded in this field of 16 based on predicted outcome...only they can live up to their own hype as they must will themselves to fight off their opponents.

Each one of the four rounds of this tournament, builders will be given a selected type of robot to design and build. They must do the best given the circumstances to build the best that they can come up with. After building, each bot will be sent to me, and then screenshots of each bot in each head to head match up will be posted by me, so the community can discuss as I AI each bot for the ultimate test; a best of 3 series to determine robot supremacy.

4 rounds, 4 bots, 16 builders. Who will rise to the top? It could be you...enter today!

Reminds me of a contest on Technex's forums. 6 competitors build a bot from a prebuilt chassis. Make a splash, and the judges decide how good the bot is on a scale of 1 to 5 (I think it was)

Never took off, really. And since this has the battling aspect, this probably will.

You are doing the AI?

Excellent... I would like to enter thanks.

Any chance you can give us an idea how long we have to design and submit bots after the guidelines are issued?

You have 2 days after the Class and Type are announced to send in your bot. While this may be quick, it's to keep the tournament running smoothly.

i think he makes a chassis and we need to build a robot from it. good chance I'll enter.

I think he tells us a random weight and bot type and tells is to make a bot and submit it to him.

I'll enter (so you can remove ?), and i think something like BTEST where the robots actually fight would be cool.

It'll be cool with Naryar complaining about chassis space on half the contestants.
