Does it have to be IRL?/ Can it be IRL?Given that helloface put IRL in bold, and that replica robots are involved, I would assume so.

Do the replicas have to be from your home country? Can I enter a replica but not a serious robot?Ah, thanks for spotting a loophole. No the replica does not have to be from your home country, and yes you can build a replica but not a main entry.
Long as I can use MOE motors, I'm definitely in.I will add a list of allowed cheatbot components; including MOE motor :)

Since I'm crap at building robots in Dsl 2.1, I'm gonna build something like nemisis from robot wars xD

Start up a showcase, then people can help you improve :)
Also Helloface, remember we use the polls now rather than greenticks generally
In this tournament, you must represent your own country and put its flag on your robot (there are a few flag packs in the downloads area).So, basically, its mostly going to be USA vs UK.
And Malaysia, but yeah.In this tournament, you must represent your own country and put its flag on your robot (there are a few flag packs in the downloads area).So, basically, its mostly going to be USA vs UK.

So, basically, its mostly going to be USA vs UK.Yeah, I just didn't want stupid things like Uganda becoming the world champion of robotics.
helloface, when do the entries have to be entered by?A deadline will be started once this goes to signups.
It's a speed competition.So, basically, its mostly going to be USA vs UK.Yeah, I just didn't want stupid things like Uganda becoming the world champion of robotics.
Agree with craaig, the title got me excited for classic DSL and then left me highly disappointed.
Edit: Wasn't Vert's tourney called RA2 World Championships?

Great. Are you one of the privileged tourney hosts who gets to skip some of the bureaucracy?

I cant fiind a flag pack. Im gonna be england then.
Yes another representative of England :D I'm gonna be s**t thoughWell we have stuff in common! Now, lets at least beat the yanks.
Currently building a bunch of replicas for you to pick from.
In addition to my old Tough As Nails rep, I've just showcased Humdrum, just finished building 3 Stegs To Heaven, and am now browsing Robot Wars Wiki for more to do....

An Onslaught rep. would be nice.
Thinking of entering but do I have to have the Union Jack on my bot considering I'm Northern Irish? Think carefully how you answer this one Helloface.

I'll see what I can do.
With the car steering though, I might have the same trouble as Resetti in that it'll look way too big.

Someone should make a smaller steering unit. Or shrink the current one.
Would be able to push out a few more reps.
Also can I enter a replica but not a serious competitor bot? If so how many replicas?You man enter as many replicas as you would like. You can have your main robot as a replica of your choice, or if you want to leave the signup space to someone else you can enter replicas without a main robot.
Thinking of entering but do I have to have the Union Jack on my bot considering I'm Northern Irish? Think carefully how you answer this one Helloface.If you can explain to me in a pm why N. Ireland isn't part of Britain, then sure.
why are titanium sheets not allowed
even more puzzling, why are half sheets not allowed
Invincible Armour/Cheap wedgeswhy are titanium sheets not allowed
even more puzzling, why are half sheets not allowed
Just a question while putting the finishing touches of my entry (i know that i have to wait for the signups) are interchangable weapon or flipper setups allowed ?Yup.
Invincible Armour/Cheap wedgesJust disallow halfsheets attached to the baseplate then like everybody else.
Cause it ain't part of Britain.Thinking of entering but do I have to have the Union Jack on my bot considering I'm Northern Irish? Think carefully how you answer this one Helloface.If you can explain to me in a pm why N. Ireland isn't part of Britain, then sure.

Could I enter by ethnicity rather than nationality?If you were born in another country and moved here then sure, otherwise no.
All AI parts, except for the blatently OP ones should be allowed tbh. Add a little extra creativity for all the people trying to make a good looking bot and something different from other IRL tourneys.Nobody uses those parts anyways, but if you really want to, then sure I'll do it in a bit.
"Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom"All I needed to hear. Please put the Union Jack on it, it's really not a big deal.
I submitted the 12th vote :3
GL everyone
Since I've been feeling quite useless lately, I'm going to give this another shot. This theme will be like the Robot Wars International series, but with modified brackets and rules. In this tournament, you must represent your own country and put its flag on your robot (there are a few flag packs in the downloads area). The signups will be split into three divisions: USA, Britain, and Other. Each signups category will have a maximum of 8 spots. If you're British, you must have both the Union Jack and the specific country (i.e. Ireland, England, Scotland) flag. You may enter a replica as your main robot.
After the three-week signup period has ended, there will be another one-week signup period specifically for replicas. If you have already entered, you're still eligible to enter a replica. I will allow an unlimited amount of replicas, from which I will pick the most well done replicas. You are allowed to enter as many replicas as you would like, so long as they correspond to the correct signups category.
- This tournament will be in DSL 2.1
- I will be AIing, but I have the right to ask you do do it yourself
- BFE and re-skinning are allowed.
- Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted
- The weight class will be either Heavyweight
- Now that I better understand the IRL building style, it will be much more strongly enforced than before/
- The only glitch allowed is the small chassis glitch.
- Arena hazards will be on
- Bots must pass stability tests. I will never decline a robot due to this without notifying you of the problem to ensure it will be fair; however if anyone complains that a bot shouldn't have gotten past it, they are at risk for a disqualification.
- Walkers and Shufflers will gain a 400kg weight bonus, but at least 300kg must be used on the movement system.
- Matches are 4 minutes long, aside from the Grand Final which will be 2 minutes long
- No custom components
- 1st havok, restart; 2nd havok, your bot is eliminated
- No custom armour
- No Trov Glitching, Hax Mode, or any other unrealistic glitches that enable an advantage.
- Multibots are allowed.
- No titanium sheets attached directly to baseplate (Including half-sheets)
- If a bot is out of control for 30 seconds it is eliminated (if a bot is just randomly bouncing around the arena, in counts as being out of control).
- You have an unlimited amount of upgrades. This means you can send a new robot too, however this all has to happen before signups are closed.
- M.O.E Motor & Judge Bursts are allowed
- Emergency flippers will have a 50% HP boost
- Interchangeable weaponry allowed
-
Format
Each category (USA, Britain, Other) Will have 2 four-way melees. The winners of these fights will be guaranteed a spot in the quarter-finals.
After this, there will be a 3 day vote on which two losers will also be pushed through to the quarter-finals. Incase of three or four way tie, there will be another melee in which the top 2 performing bots will be pushed through. In case of 5 or more way tie, the poll will be reset.
From there it will be a standard single elimination bracket.
Arenas
British Qualifying Arena: Wham's RW Arena
American Qualifying Arena: Battlebox 3.0
Other Qualifying Arena: Combat Arena (heavily increased hazard damage)
Post-Qualifying Arena: BBEANS 2 Arena (no hazards)
Judging
British Qualifying Judging: Damage /20, Aggression /15, Control /10, Style /5
American Qualifying Judging: Damage /15, Aggression /15, Strategy /15, Style /5
Other Qualifying Judging: Weapon Damage /20, Hazard Damage /20, Control /10
Post-Qualifying Judging: Damage /10, Aggression /10, Control /10, Strategy /10, Style /10
Questions, thoughts, and suggestions?
Kurt accepted and RedAce received, and mine & S.H.I.E.L.D's AI and splashes done.
Do I still really have to put a Union Flag on it? It's a stupid rule and I liked the paint scheme before I added the Saltire.Nah, I agree. The more I think about it, it really is an incredibly dumb rule.
I know, AI works fine aside from sluggishness.Kurt accepted and RedAce received, and mine & S.H.I.E.L.D's AI and splashes done.
Note: It's not invertible.
- Bots must pass stability tests. I will never decline a robot due to this without notifying you of the problem to ensure it will be fair; however if anyone complains that a bot shouldn't have gotten past it, they are at risk for a disqualification.What do you mean by this? Are the people that complain at risk, or are the robots that are complained about at risk? I'd like some clarification before I go build.
I like to play around with bots after AIing with them. If they bounce around out of control after a couple hits too much or havok a lot, I will further test that robot and it will be declined until the bot is fixed or replaced.Quote from: helloface199- Bots must pass stability tests.

Also, what exactly constitutes a stability test?
Is it AI'd as invertible?Of course.
Sent.Accepted.
Nice. Let's see If we can even qualify! :/Sent.Accepted.
Much better.
EDIT: Also, I need somebody to add two extra spawn points in the Battlebots Arena.
I messaged Craig and if nobody can do it I'll just change it to increased hazard damage combat zone.
If we run out of US spots, can I take an "extra" slot? There's probably some Dutch blood in me if I dig far back enough. Also because it's getting hard to find an Extreme Warriors bot that I can do with a regressed set of tools (since I'm so used to DSL3 now.)I'm afraid not. There are still plenty of spaces left however, and you can always send in replicas from other countries. Sorry :(
Despite the horrible skinning job, playzooki accepted. Akshaylan will be also accepted once he specifies whether he's Indian or English.I accidentally put the flag on the bottom lol.
Do the replicas need the flags?Doesn't matter.

So, can I build a HW version of a Featherwight rep.? 'Cause I don't think my original plan can come to fruition.No, sorry.
How do I send an entry? I have my replica ready, i just don't know what to do next.
Whelp. Looks like this tourney will have to do without Cunning Plan.
Imma continue to try building Trident.
I'll probably only accept replicas of heavyweights.Whelp. Looks like this tourney will have to do without Cunning Plan.
Imma continue to try building Trident.
I have a lightweight Cunning plan replica, might enter that seeing as my Phoenix one wont be allowed

Still trying to find time to build something. If not I'll probably just slap a flag onto an existing heavy (Probably Whirlytronic again)...Or BuffalOWNED :dumb)
you'll at least have something.If that was aimed at me, will try to :smile:
Tommy & Sonny accepted.YAAAY! :mrgreen:
I thought Camaro Kid was Australian...Me too, but apperently not.

Then you should represent Australia ex. Viktor Ahn.I thought Camaro Kid was Australian...Me too, but apperently not.
Ok, just so I clear this up. I was born in England and at the age of 9 moved to Australia
LOLI thought Camaro Kid was Australian...Me too, but apperently not.
Also Badnik isa lazy sh*taccepted.
You no recieved my entry ?I tried to say I received it, but my iPod died before I was able to finish the post then I forgot :P
Also, Massimo, I'm giving you 2 days to either AI your robot (good luck with that) or change entries.This is your job dude. You have to be able to AI it.
- I will be AIing, but I have the right to ask you do do it yourself
Then fix it, host.- I will be AIing, but I have the right to ask you do do it yourself
Sorry, I just don't know how and I don't know what the problem is.

have you tried putting the Up Arrow as the postive axis and the down arrow as the negative axis in the controls
