BotCraft
« on: August 16, 2010, 12:28:00 PM »
Heres a tournament idea I came up with.
 
All entrants must try and make a new bot type!
 
Rules
 
1. It has to be a new bot type, cant be one that is already around for example popups.
2. Hybrids are an exception, although certian hybrids like hammer/flipper hybrids are not allowed,
    because they have been done before.
3. Stock HW only.
4. No BFE, AAM or zeroG glitch
5. Cheatbot 2 is allowed.
6. No custom components
7. Cluster bots are allowed, but they have to be different.
8. Will be a 16 bot tournament
 
Arena: Not decided
 
 
Anything i've missed?

I highly doubt you'll get 16 entries, cos I'm not sure there's 16 new bot types out there. And it's stock.

Agreed with Craaig.

You could probably just make it a triple-hybrid tournament. They're pretty hard to build anyway. :P

I have had an idea for a crazy stock Hybrid for a long time now, I should build it

though I dislike the name of this tournament.. it sounds like a cheezy rip off of something (I wonder what?) it might not be your intention thats just how I think of it  :mrgreen:
