Can I enter multiple times if there are free spaces  And who gets to be the judge of how accurate a replica is; surely there must be some guide to how accurate the have to be to qualify?

And are you going to do the AI'ing, or are we responbisle for doing it ourselves?

If it was how accurate they where, and with the no custom parts rule, yeah, i can see VERY few replicas being allowd.
If you acctually check the components next if you do allow custom ones, then that might not be a problem.
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

What kinds of custom components are allowed?  I'm worried that my replica of Gravity will be so powerful that it'll be unfair.

as long as you send the components with the bot, its ok.

if you want, you can enter multiple bots if there is empty space after the deadline.

i can AI.

and i can check the Robot Wars Wiki and Battlebots.com to see how accurate the replicas are.

There should be a limit to how powerful the custom bots should be or something.

Also, did you check this with ACAMS?

I can't skin my bots, can I just make them as accurate as possible?

Then you shouldn't have started it yet. You have to wait until ACAMS responds. When did you PM him?

I think there should be an official approve person.Someone who dosnt have a bot in the tourny, but makes sure all the entrants are balanced.
