(Thanks for the modified logo 090901)

Tournament Rules

1. Two bots start off in the King of the Hill match (1:00 minute match) in LumaZone . The goal here is to get more points than your opponent. If there's 24 entries, then 3 bots will compete in the KoTH and the bot with the lowest points will be eliminated.

2. The second part will be on the SMALL ARENA same as before, damage the trialbot as much as you can, I'll make a LW trialbot. 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.

4. The finals will be different this time, all four finalists will face off in the KoTH and the bot with the lowest points will be eliminated. If a 2-way tie for last happens then both bots are eliminated and we head to the fight to the finish, if a 3-way tie for last or 4-way tie happens then the trial will start over. If three bots remain, they will face again in the KoTH in the Hill Top this time, but the trialbot will join the others as a distraction. If there's a 2-way tie or 3-way tie for last, the trial will restart. The final two will head of to the fight to the finish and...well I think we already get how that works.

Rules
1. DSL Beetleweight
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, Vertical Spinners, Rammers, Face Spinners, Axes, Drums (small discs in rows are acceptable and when I say drums I mean use the DSL drum), Pokers,  Lifters, Flippers, Popups, True Popups (1 or 2 spikes only), Side Hammers, Axes, and Side Axes.

Axe=big stabby arc-swingy thing
Hammer=Big mashy arc-swingy thing

I hope you can work out the rest.

Ok, I'll check it out soon.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: Scorpion on June 05, 2011, 02:42:11 PM
Sent aswell, this is filling up very fast...
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on June 05, 2011, 02:44:18 PM
I hope my bot counts as one of the allowed bot types.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: Urjak on June 05, 2011, 02:44:53 PM
Sent also... hopefully I can nab a spot.

EDIT: I'll send an AI soon. I just wanted to make sure I got in before taking time to do the AI.

@Urjak Sheck Spinners are not allowed in this tourny.

@Urjak Sheck Spinners are not allowed in this tourny.


I like the way you think.  ;)


Even if they were allowed though, I wouldn't have entered one. They suck at KoTH matches.

My bots on the exchange. You get my pm?
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: Hard Bot on June 05, 2011, 03:48:43 PM
What if some kills the Trial-Bot? My bot might do that.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: NFX on June 05, 2011, 03:50:14 PM
Then it goes by points. I think.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: S.T.C. on June 05, 2011, 05:01:29 PM
Yeah, it's all about points. I just got 7 entries, I can only assure frezziez's bot once I check it out cause he sent it earlier today.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: FOTEPX on June 05, 2011, 05:02:31 PM
I'll enter. Just pray to god my PC repairs before Signups fill.

Post by: S.T.C. on June 05, 2011, 05:06:13 PM
BTW, do I have to wait till the deadline to start with the videos and everything?
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: NFX on June 05, 2011, 05:09:56 PM
It depends on how quickly it fills up. If it fills up quickly, you can bring the deadline forward for things like updates.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: S.T.C. on June 05, 2011, 05:15:45 PM
I think its already filled up, I'm already checking a bunch of entries.

Squirrel_Monkey is in the trials.

Can I have a little more time to work on my binding?  I just finished the bot a couple hours ago and didn't think it'd be over so fast
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: NFX on June 05, 2011, 05:38:41 PM
I'm guessing you can send the bot on its own, and the bindings in due course. Like Urjak did.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: S.T.C. on June 05, 2011, 06:15:27 PM
First page edited and, as you can all see, the spaces have all been filled and all I have to do is wait for frezziez, S_R, Urjak, and SKBT. I apologize for those who sent their bots too late and couldn't make it in.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: NFX on June 05, 2011, 06:24:29 PM
Holy crap, this filled up quick. I'm just glad I got my bot in early.

What about the 24 entries mentioning in the rules?  Still taking bots until you get to that plateau?
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: S.T.C. on June 05, 2011, 06:47:06 PM
I thought I couldn't due to my tournament being a minor league tourney.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups
Post by: freeziez on June 05, 2011, 07:23:49 PM
I'll send my bot tomorow. Gotta get ready for bed now.

I can't get my bots to stop doing the Nasty Pickle glitch.  Is it worth it for me to send a bot anyways and hope it works better on STC's computer?
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups

Worth a shot.

Ah. 'tis cool.  Just checking.  Gives me a good excuse to give up on my bot anyways... it was totally not working well and ticking me off.  :D

I might be able to give you some advice. Generally, try increasing chassis size and not using copal motors or piglets. Try to also avoid skirt hinges...

when can you host more than a 16 people tournament youve already ran two ones smoothly

1st page updated. All that's left is freeziez to fix his problem and all will be ready. I'll make the splash vid, bracket, and (maybe) Heat A tomorrow.

Post by: Clickbeetle on June 05, 2011, 10:28:34 PM
Hmm, was thinking about kloning Xception as a BW for this.  Guess that's not gonna happen now.  Not a huge deal though, since my prototype didn't turn out as good as I hoped.


It seems the RA2 community is starved for tournaments at the moment.  As soon as one appears in Signups it's like a raw steak tossed into a kennel of hungry Rottweilers.

Post by: Thyrus on June 05, 2011, 11:02:31 PM
wow that sucks :o I`ve send mine when there had been about 7 spots left but your inbox must have been spammed. Second time this bot fails to run in a tournament.

good luck to those who entered

Why 36? It's not exactly the best number for brackets. I'd say 32.

Fine then. I see your 32 and raise you to 64!

I'm Sure S.T.C. can handle that...

128 would be best though. Y'know, just to be safe.

I'll be honest, there is a few bots I worry won't make it through the ramp.
Title: Re: RA2 Trials Series 3 Signups

Hopefully mine can beat the ramp with pure speed.
