Tournament Rules
1. Two bots start off in the King of the Hill match (1:00 minute match) in the Hill Top Arena. The goal here is to get more points than your opponent. If the tournament has 30 entries, the bot with the lowest points will be eliminated from the tournament.
2. The second part will be on the SMALL ARENA. Same as before, damage the trialbot as much as you can, I'll make another trialbot though, if the bot miraculously beats both bots (which I doubt) or if one of the bots is immobilized, the decision will still depend on points. This event will be 2 minutes. After this, the points rom the KoTH part will be summed up with the points from this trial and the bot with the most points moves on.
3. Then the heat will end up with 2 bots, those 2 will fight it out in the fight to the finish arena (I found it here a while ago) and here's how it works; two bots start high above on the platform and they will fight it out for 3 minutes and the bot that gets destroyed, immobilized, or pushed out will be eliminated and the winner will go to the finals.
Rules:
1. NAR AI 2.2 Lightweights
2. Realistic Rule Applies.
3. No cheatbot2 or custom components.
4. No SnSs (won't do good in the KoTH part anyways).
5. No crawlers.
6. Please AI your own bots, if you can't then I will AI the bots (if anyone's willing to help me with AIing, that would be awsome).
7.NO WHINING ABOUT THE BOT AI BEING SCREWY UNLESS THERE IS BELIEVABLE EVIDENCE AND NOT SOMETHING STUPID (I think we all know why this rule was added).
8. Multibots are NOT allowed (due to the fact that if there's a tie).
9. No havok prone bots.
10. No AAM or BFE.
11. No flamethrowers.
12. The only bot types allowed are Horizontal Spinners, Rammers, Face Spinners, Axes, Drums (small discs in rows are acceptable), Pokers, Lifters (NOT FLIPPERS) By lifters, something like Sentinel (stock version), True Popups (1 or 2 spikes only), Side Hammers (not side axes) .

NAR AI Components
http://www.4shared.com/file/Uo93Q1rw/Components.html (http://www.4shared.com/file/Uo93Q1rw/Components.html)
-
Final Z 1.5 will be in. Expect carnage in the arena!
-
i will (see if i can) refine my bot, even if i can't make it better, it will, kill all!
-
Just want to point out that there will be a new trialbot made soon and I'll show it here as soon as I'll finish it (have to re-install NAR AI cause the components crash my game for some reason).
-
Will enter this one. A proper entry this time, not a joke entry. I liked Junky, it was cute...
No, I'm not in love.
Will probably do another one of my trademark FS's, that is, if they're allowed.
*reads rules*
Phew.
-
I have the design in mind. Will build it soon.
Also can i send you a grey miniwheel skin ? I'm not sure if i will use miniwheels but still if i use them the origina skin will make the bot less cooler :P
-
Well, okay, but I prefer you send it once your entry is done.

:fail:
No offense meant.

That just means I did it right! :approve:
You think I was gonna make some champion bot as something that's meant to be destroyed?
-
:D
-
:D
I'm guessing you like it? lol
-
It's cute. But it is a failbot though.
-
Should have more armour, no weapons.
-
I think it would be lulzier if you just used be a tiny chassis with external etek drive and Techno wheels.
-
Okay, I'll try again later
-

Second attempt, Trialbot 2.1
-
KEWL.
-
The extenders are connected to an axle btw
What does everyone else think?
-
It's awesome.
Are wammers allowed?
-
Nope, the bot types stated are the only ones allowed, sorry.
-
isnt wammer just a rammer with a wedge ?
-
I think I mixed up wammer with thwaker :confused:. Wammers are okay.
-
DP - No entries yet (well, I'm in obviously but still)
I'm guessing R.I.P 2 and BBEANS caught everyone's attention? lol. Its okay, I got lots of free time at the moment. Just trying to let everyone know this won't die.
-
I'm planning... How to kill people who don't get their BTTB bots in! And a bot for this.
-
i will build my bot... if megaupload doesn't screw up and give me a 17mins20secs download time... and then crash!!! and i'm waiting for nar ai 2.3 aswell.

-

i meant there i wanted 2.3 aswell as 2.2 with a 171/2 minute download time coming with crashes!
-
Ah, you're having download problems with NAR AI you mean?
-
so am I, megaupload says that it's been downloaded too many times.
-
If its okay, I can upload the components to 4shared
-
Go on.

The link will also be added on the first post.
-
Wow, this seems like its dying, almost a month went by and no entries at all..
Anyways, this is still gonna go on everyone.
-
I wish to enter, no time atm.
-
Likewise.
-
i will get a robot in, but i've only just recovered ra2. i will build one today, maybe get it entered tomorow.

I never knew a day lasted this long.
Still waiting everyone.
-
Imma still thinking.

-

-
Well, on the front page there's a download link for the NAR AI components.

Count me In. Bot coming sometime in the weekend.
-
Two spots filled by me and Bubbleman, 14 spots left.
-
Sending entry, AI line to come later.
-
I got the bot already (as you already know).
3 spots taken already everyone.
-
Must still decide what bot type to enter
-
Ditto. I'm sick of entering FS's now, I need to build something different.
-
Just dropped by to ask if anyone's gotten any idead on what to enter?
-
I kinda want to enter Final Z. Even if I lose the KoTH I will still KO the trialbot and win the FttFs to win.
-
I guess not many people are that interested, or just reeeeeeeeeeeallllllyyyy busy, but atleast I got 3 entries.
-
I cant enter because its NAR ai
-
Well, there is a download on THE FIRST PAGE!!!!! :yaya)
-
I want to make a few edits to Final Z before I enter him.
-
Well, there is a download on THE FIRST PAGE!!!!! :yaya)
hey mate don't be an ass, nar ai when I try to download it it says that there has been too many downloads.
-
Umm maybe i should have checked first...:P, ok, but here is another download for you in a PM.
Edit: Its only the components, will they do?
-
Wait, I've just found another way of downloading it.
-
Just Curious, but how?
-
hey mate don't be an ass, nar ai when I try to download it it says that there has been too many downloads.
Where did you try loading it anyways?
-
Vapidshare link doesn't work, but Mega Upload seems fine.
-
Well guys its now official, Sonny has just entered the tourney and is ready to defend his title, now who wants to try and take the crown? lol.
-
Fine, i'll join. Expect the bot on monday.
-
Its wednesday and still no bot.
-
I will try to come up with something. I am having LW building issues. I don't have any good ideas that are not SNS's.
-
i might send something, probably won't be a KotH specialist though.
-
I can enter, I have a LW that should be good. Might fiddle around with it to see if i can fit any more weapons to it first, then I'll send.
-
I may have a stab at this. Just need to get my RA2 files back up and running when my laptop gets back from the menders.
-
Here's the prototype of my proposed entry-
(http://i.imagehost.org/0648/Plowking.jpg) (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0648/Plowking)
Whaddya think?
-
i think it has no wedge so it would be in a lot of trouble.
-
wedges can also hinder KOTH fights though
-
Kinda depends on where you and your opponent are when you get to the hilltop.
-
I got Nar ai to work, i'll build something.
-
I will probably loose, I built in DSL.. I dont like NarAI for much else then AI
-
Wow, I just log on and I get 3 entries! Awesome
SKBT, JoeBlo, and martymidget are all in. 9 spaces left everyone.
-
I have made a good robot (by my standards anyway - it's not a SFTW), will send it to you soon.
-
Seems good. I've sent you my robot
-
I've decided tat I will not send Final Z, still planning another entry
And 027 might enter this.
-
Good to know guys.
One spot is now taken, Masterath is now in the trials, 8 spaces left everyone.
-
Ive sent my entry.
-
I sent my poker.
-
TeamXtreemer - I'll wait for your entry tomorrow.
027 LB - Accepted and AIed.
-
Re entered.
-
Sent Revenge of Final Z, hopefully it will do well
-
I shall send something.
-
TeamXtreemer and Badnik are in.
Okay Defiance.
-
5 spaces left people.
And G.K., I still need the AI for your bot.
-
It's only a rammer. I'll send it at some point.
-
I will try to enter this.
Are we allowed to enter trappers or are they forbidden.
-
Only the bot types mentioned on the first page are allowed.
-
trapper = rammer
-
Oh, then trappers are good.
-
trapper = rammer
thats not really true
rammers hit then back up and hit again
its actually more like
trapper = pinner = pusher
and since all basic AI pythons (like omni, poker, flipper, etc) do a push and pin strategy they wouldnt be outlawed.
[/usless nickpick trivia]
-
It doesn't say pusher on the first page :p. (I wanted to show that Trappers were basically the same as something mentioned)
-
the point I was making was every robot that uses omni, poker, flipper, etc uses pusher tactics ;)
outlaw them now and you loose a significant portion of entrants :P
-
At the time I considered pushers in the rammer category, I don't remember why though.
-
shame no jugglers are allowed otherwise i would enter :P
-
Might enter. :smile:
-
i r in. Bot coming as soon as i RIBUILT WHAT I ACCIDENTLY WRECKED IN AN EXPERIMENT :rage
-
Accepted and AI'ed, 4 spaces left.

Rules:
12. The only bot types allowed are Horizontal Spinners, Rammers, Face Spinners, Axes, Drums (small discs in rows are acceptable), Pokers, Lifters (NOT FLIPPERS) By lifters, something like Sentinel (stock version), True Popups (1 or 2 spikes only), Side Hammers (not side axes) .
You don't give us much room for creativity and let me see if I understand.. horizontal spinners with a bunch of flailing weapons are allowed but popups are only allowed 1-2 spikes? That's a bit unfair IMO and what about drums that use the actual drums in DSL with teeth or beater bars on them?
What about shell spinners with flails? They are basically the same as horizontal spinners with flails just have the weapons around the chassis instead of in front.
I'm confused as to what I can and can't enter and I don't want to build a bot that could get rejected due to some technicality.
-
Well in that technicality jugglers are only HS with weapons on top of the chassis.
-
Yeah, I'm planning on being more specific with the allowed bot types next time, if there is a next time cause I wanna explore new tournament ideas after this is over.
-
I've got a bot that I could enter. I'll send it in a minute
-
Sent
-
Vertigo is in the trials, 2 more entries and we can start!
-
Noodle is in the trials, 1 more bot and I can make the splash video!
-
I'm so pumped for my first tournament. :D
-
are we able to change our entry seeing as jugglers are allowed and i was not aware?
-
I may enter something just to see where I can improve my LW building.
-

Well, I'm willing to allow one update.
-
PMbomb'd.
-
update sent :approve:
-
I'm having problems with your bot ianh, check your messages.
-
Ianh is now in the trials, all that's missing is NFX's modified entry and G.K.'s AI.
-
Meh, I didn't have enough time to enter after my holidays.
-
I'm really not sure what I can do to the setup of my bot, STC.
-
Cmon Pplz enter, i want to ee the vid splash!
im exited XD
-
I can always replace NFX
-
My bot isn't unrealistic, though, it's within the rules.
-
I will grant this allowance to move through when ready (normally you wouldnt) just because your being held back due to a couple of slow tourneys
-
NFX - It just seemed rather unrealistic to me cause of the weapon going through the alluminum skirts, like its cutting it in half.
JB - Like, once this is ready I can start this immediately?
-
It doesn't cut it completely in half, though, there's a gap between the weapon and the edge of the panel. If it was unrealistic, then I would have changed it.
-
Ah, I understand now, then bot accepted. G.K. already sent in the bindings. Expect the splash video, bracket, and maybe Heat A up today.
-
WOOOOOOT
-
Thanks, STC. =)
-
Splash video and bracket is done, check the next board to find the thread with the stuff.
