RA2 Trials Series 4, The Revival (Signups)

[S.T.C.]

Cause, you know, why not?

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 COMBAT ARENA same as before, damage the trialbot as much as you can, I'll make a MW 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 from 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. 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.

Its a 16 bot tournament and for those curious about my entry:

Losers Bracket System:

I decided, in an attempt to make this tournament more interesting, to add a losers bracket. Basically the 12 bots to lose the trials will head down to the losers bracket and it will continue similar to the normal bracket (KoTH, Trialbot, etc.). At this point there will be 3 bots in the Losers Bracket final; the last spot will be taken by the first bot to lose in the original bracket's semi-final and the winner of the losers bracket faces off against the winner's bracket winner.

[cephalopod]

Seems okay, but another IRL competition? Eh, I'll pass I think, sorry.

[S.T.C.]

Well, its still in discussion, I've noticed there's alot so I'm still not entirely sure about it.

[Mr. AS]

I would really prefer if it was standard or stock like the other 3 tournaments. We already have battlebots 74 or whatever going.

[qwertythe300th]

I'll Enter, but I wont be able to AI.

[S.T.C.]

Ok, the more I looked at the "IRL designs" rule, the more I thought about how bad of an idea it was, I removed it.

[Badnik96]

I may give this a shot.

[090901]

Oh god yes RA2 Trials has always been one of my favorite tournaments.
Are hybrids allowed though?

[S.T.C.]

Oh god yes RA2 Trials has always been one of my favorite tournaments.
Are hybrids allowed though?

As long as they use the weapons listed, then yes.

[El Chickenado]

so lifters are allowed but no chatbot 2 components are?
are the lifter motors allowed or not allowed?

[cephalopod]

Lifters as in the bot type. Not the motor. If cheatbot2 is banned, it's banned.

[S.T.C.]

Well here's my own entry, all I could come up with in 5 minutes.
For some reason, my in-game screenshots show up as an all-black image, help 

[Jakewilliamson]

Entering!

[El Chickenado]

ill enter but is this irl or dsl - s
if it is irl are replicas allowed?

[090901]

ill enter but is this irl or dsl - s
if it is irl are replicas allowed?

It's normal DSL, not IRL.

[S.T.C.]

Yeah, its normal DSL.

Sorry I haven't been updating this alot, 2 days after posting this I got a stomach virus...
Anyways, I made a Trialbot but I can't seem to take ingame screenshots, it just takes a screenshot of my desktop, and printscreen isn't working either. If anyone knows why this is happening please help.

[Naryar]

it's somewhat between normal DSL and IRL to be honest. but looks more like DSL-S to me.

[S.T.C.]

So I can move this to signups whenever I want since this is my fourth tournament? I'm still pretty iffy on the rules so I want to be sure.

[cephalopod]

Yep, it can be moved whenever you're ready. I'll just double check that you do want it moved before I do, even though I got your PM :P

[S.T.C.]

Yeah, I'm sure I want to move to signups. I already got my bot and trialbot built and AI'ed to get this going

Btw:
