Summer is starting soo I might as well get the discussion going and the awards end tomorrow so...

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), the decision will 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 Lightweight
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. 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) .

I might allow 30 entries, or 16..I'm not sure yet, you guys can decide if you want.

Lolz Wynaut?

But I'm still worried that the bot's too low for KOTH. XD

G.K. · « **Reply #4 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:22:53 AM »

That's 3 true popups then. :P

EDIT: LOL! Popups aren't allowed guys.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:35:36 AM »

G.K. · « **Reply #6 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:37:07 AM »

Do you really think that?

I had the perfect robot for this but it doesn't allow gut ripper / juggler robots

He said lifters are allowed... so any wedged bot with just one BSG can enter... and the second part is "damage the trialbot as much as you can"... so the bots must have weapons... hence, wedged bot with bursts and weapons = true popup... no ?

Yes, I do, G.K., yes I do.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:49:12 AM »

Final Z will fail in the KOTH round since its the hill top arena

Badnik96 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:51:02 AM »

but you can still KO people right?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2010, 07:12:46 AM »

yes but I would predict it would continuously ricochet off the hill

Naryar · « **Reply #13 on:** May 16, 2010, 08:22:52 AM »

I agree with joey.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 16, 2010, 08:37:32 AM »

OK, I'll modify it with stronger drive.

Naryar · « **Reply #15 on:** May 16, 2010, 08:48:51 AM »

It's not that (it has a drive strong enough already) but most HS are not fitted for KOTH matches.

When is 2.3 coming out?

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:17:16 PM »

Technically 3 days but i might wait a few more days if i don't get all builder teams done :P

But v2.3 will have plenty of changes (battery issues, wheel balance) so it might be too soon to start a v2.3 tournament yet.

S.T.C. · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2010, 06:41:38 PM »

I rather let this one be v2.2

S.T.C. · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2010, 10:15:56 AM »

DP (sorry)
So I'm guessing everyone's okay with the idea? If anyone has an idea for a trial I'll take it to consideration.
