-DSL LW, realistic rule applies.
-Bots MUST be replicas of real life bots
-BFE and cheatbot parts allowed only if it makes the rep more like the real thing (no overpowered reps!)
Say, if the robot has a very powerful flipper, you can use the Judge burst. And if you need to make a robot's chassis more like the real thing if it won't let you, or if you can't fit a component that would make the rep more realistic, you may use BFE. This will be determined at my discretion.
-Arena will be RA2 t2 arena, with hazards OFF.
-ALL MATCHES are 3 minutes, you get one fight.
-bracket will be 1 on 1 then 4-way then a 4-way final.
-No losers bracket.
-if a match is ended by time running out, then I will decide on who advances based on the robot who overall performed best.
-If a robot havoks, it gets a free restart ONCE with the remaining competitors (say if a bot havoks when 2 bots are KO'ed, the match would restart with the remaining 2 bots)
-Skinned parts accepted but they must only be reskins. (no TXT editing except for name)
-All In-game glitches allowed if they abide by the realistic rule.
-NO FLAIL SNS
-Your bot cannot be a replica of a bot that is already in DSL 2.1.
-no 2 people can do the same bot.
-Multibots not allowed.
-In the case of byes, the 4 seeded bots will get byes first, then the next highest ranked competitors from RW, then the rest of the competitors from the first RW.
-If you have a bot IRL that is LW or below, you are advised to make a rep of it, but it isn't mandatory.
-Signups will open when there is an empty spot and will end a month after that. (This gives you PLENTY of TIME to make your reps, and I will NOT accept any bots after the deadline!)
-Bot updates can be sent until splash is posted, You can send a completely change your entry ONCE.
I will build and enter ASAP.
I do have a replica of Alejandro as he is ATM, but its not finished :S
However, i may enter my Hunter replica :) (if i cant get Alejandro done soon!)
I will enter this with my Rep of 360, mini Hypnodisc.
I'll work on my bot.
Give us some time, and I'll soon have my Third Seed ready.
Will enter when I get home
Yup I am entering Jo Mama.
Is it ok if I skin the Drum component white? GMF compiler won't let me make a copy.
Eh, Go ahead. I don't know any other bot in this that's using a drum.
PMbomb'd. Foxy, you're going down.
Resetti, your bot crashes my game. I put in the components in and everything (may be the same prob I had with Elmower)
Double post :P
Wow. I already have 1/4 of the entries!
I dont care how well I do... I just want to be the one that takes out Foxy >:PI feel like a bit of Kookaburra hunting :evilsmile:
Just saw NFX's comments...
...NFX, if you're reading this, I'm personally going to make you eat those words in the tournament >:)
oh do you?.. so do I :gawe:Sounds good...then we'll see who laughs at the end of the tournament.
Only it's England, Australia and Scotland. =PIt's more like the Rugby World Cup :P
Hmmm... I wonder which version of Dark Pounder I should replicate...The one that doesn't kill me, perhaps? ;)
I'll have to revert to using a MCB wedge.
I don't even know what you're entering. If I replicate the one in the RCHoF, I'll have to revert to using a MCB wedge. If I use the one in SWARC, I'll have to use a cheaty motor. >.<Well, I'd best keep my entry secret then, eh? ;)
Boo Hiss, not making replicas more realistic. Just making them cheaty.
COOLRUNNER, your bot crashes my game.
edit: never mind, I fixed it.
edit 2: crashes still.
...And no one has any trash talk? Comments? Anything? :SWell I'm not scared of any of those who want me beaten, I'm gonna trash their entries. All I want is some violence! VIOLENCE! :evilsmile:
Still no more entries...Don't worry, I will enter like I said before i just need to skin it.
*is sad*
I still have 25 days to work on my entry :PExactly.
Its not, honestly, its still patheticIt's the most powerfull burst in dsl by a fair bit IMO.
yes but I think its overpowered in this application.. I mean Sonny used the judge burst for his Gravity rep didnt he ?
I tried the Judge Burst on a MW just to see what it would do, and it rupted itself into the wall.Yeah, it would do that.
Best stick to a basic rammer, cutter or flipper, eh? ;)I tried the Judge Burst on a MW just to see what it would do, and it rupted itself into the wall.Yeah, it would do that.
I'm not messing around with burst motors now though, making a new (and better IMO) rep.
Simple, small, speedy spinner for me thanks.Best stick to a basic rammer, cutter or flipper, eh? ;)I tried the Judge Burst on a MW just to see what it would do, and it rupted itself into the wall.Yeah, it would do that.

What's the bot?Series 7 Disc-O-Inferno, as far as i could see he's not been done by anybody, which was a surprise.
I wouldn't argue about you using the flat motor.Fair enough.
Not without making them new components.Grrrr, I'm not sure if it's worth it now, it's just i know making the heavy DS teeth smaller and wider would make it just like the weapon on disc-o-inferno's disk.
DSL bars, on the top and bottom attaches of the discs, angled sideways?Yeah that could work, doesn't get the little hook part at the end right though.
Augh, there's probably going to be lots of Horizontal spinners.Blame the weight restriction, I would have used S.M.I.D.S.Y if this was MW.
I am. I mean, I think this would've been far more popular if it were Middleweight. And then maybe I'd have been able to create something decent, too.DSL bars, on the top and bottom attaches of the discs, angled sideways?Yeah that could work, doesn't get the little hook part at the end right though.
Then again maybe i'm just trying to be too much of a perfectionist.Augh, there's probably going to be lots of Horizontal spinners.Blame the weight restriction, I would have used S.M.I.D.S.Y if this was MW.
Maybe the third one would be MW. If there's a third one. In which case I'd probably enter with something awesome. =DQ

I'll probably make something from Series 2 as well. Series 2 is under-rated, in my view. I liked that format.Yeah...at least then, it wasn't entirely second-rate flippers and spinners.
I knew you would bring that up.Not that I know of. Maybe if Badnik displayed the names of the Replicated Robots (Like he did last year), It'd make it a bit easier to see.
Are there any UK Series 2 reps this time around?
I knew you would bring that up.

Hm, that's alright then. I look forward to building a Series 2 Mortis with the custom blade and the Overkill hammer motor! ;)I knew you would bring that up.
Are there any UK Series 2 reps this time around?
king mushroom has Cassius I think that's it.
And there WILL be a RW3, and it WILL be MW.
Yup, I see myself losing here.Yeah, i'm gonna try to stay possitive about it though and hope that Disk-O-Inferno can turn to earn */failpun or catchphrase*
Badnik would you be able to reserve a spot for me as i cant seem to any of my RA2's to work and i want to enter this.
LOL, powerrave chose a weaponless bot.Really? :laughing
Mortis vs Bodyhammer, anyone? ;)LOL, powerrave chose a weaponless bot.Really? :laughing

When this is over we could may do a bigger tournament with every person enters 1 replica an then ther will be a tourney like this (Hosted by Badnik or may someone else), a replica TTT(Hosted by Badnik or may someone else), a replica Total Annihilation (Hosted by me) and maybe anoter tourney (like S.T.C.s Trials hosted by Cpt.

What's so special about Junkyard Dog? It's just a wedge with some spikes.
-BFE and cheatbot parts allowed only if it makes the rep more like the real thing (no overpowered reps!)I used BFE to lower chassis height for my junkyarddog replica. Would that be allow?
Say, if the robot has a very powerful flipper, you can use the Judge burst. And if you need to make a robot's chassis more like the real thing if it won't let you, or if you can't fit a component that would make the rep more realistic, you may use BFE. This will be determined at my discretion.
I will try to fill a placeBut do try to make sure it doesn't fall on its side again, will you? We don't want any ragetoons, now :laughing
As I stated before, it will be 2EZ. A bar HS. That will not get stuck on it's side.I will try to fill a placeBut do try to make sure it doesn't fall on its side again, will you? We don't want any ragetoons, now :laughing

Oh, that's reminded me of something. I shall PMbomb Badnik immediately. =DThat's cool. And remembering what you said earlier, thrashing you for revenge will be a treat :evilsmile:
I am inclined to disagree. You don't even have a robot yet. =PWell, considering how I've got quite some time to build and fine-tune it, I'm not sending it off just yet. I'd rather have a good entry that did go through testing and stuff rather than immediately entering for the sake of entering, like I've seen some people do in tournaments.
Yeah, you've got your place reserved, so you have the time to.Yup, so I figured I'd take advantage of that to create a really good entry. Hopefully it won't end up like Sonny's did last year.
Ouch, what's that supposed to mean?You know, when Pulveriser was one of the big favourites, but was eliminated after its wheel fell off. No offense, but I thought I'd use it as as something of an example :(

Nah it's cool. I thought you meant my robot was bad.
Is it too late to change my entry? As I'm hoping to aim for destruction this time...
TBH, i thought it would be the SFTWThat probably goes to Cunning Plan.
I'm inclined to agree. Though I don't want to be drawn against it in the first round, in all honesty.But I'm still having trouble deciding what to enter. Every time I've built something, this is usually the case-
@GF93: Yeah, Cunning Plan is the SFTW. It has Piglets for drive.:laughing
*cue Nar with ragetoon*
@GF93: Yeah, Cunning Plan is the SFTW. It has Piglets for drive.

IIRC astros are made for drive not weapons like piglets are, that's what angers Nar.@GF93: Yeah, Cunning Plan is the SFTW. It has Piglets for drive.

I thought Astro's were the worst type of DSL motor.
@GFYou mean that one on Dutch Robot Wars driven by the three Stigs?
DO THAT 3 PARTED CLUSTERBOT ON ROBOT WARS BUT AS ONE PART
(if anyone (looks at g.k.) knows what im talking about post a link to RWW please)
Erm...would TRACIE be feasible, GK?Would be, considering it had two-wheel drive and ramming spikes. You could dedicate the weight to fast drives and heavy armour :P

*beep* you, you *beep**beep**beeeeeeeeeeeeep* i was going to make that.Sorry Ash. I was having trouble deciding which bot to build as it was (A low wedge flipper to counter spinners), and it was the only decent shaped flipper I could properly replicate.
Just messing but i was going to enter that.

They don't have to look brilliant, just vaguely like the real bots. If it's polycarbonate, just skin it light grey.It's alright, I skinned mine already. I'll send it in a little while.
Sounds good. What did 123 enter?
Sounds interesting...and potentially quite vunerable to a flipper :rolleyes:Sounds good. What did 123 enter?
Junkyard dog, the wedge with the spikes.
Gf93's and 123's bots recieved, Joe and Ashman have 2 days.
Good luck with that then, Joe.Gf93's and 123's bots recieved, Joe and Ashman have 2 days.
I will try and make the deadline
I have little time and half assed motivation with this game though :P
AI'd to fight flippers and wedges better too ;):FFFUUU
no the ziggo shell's collision doesn't permit it, nor does the weight limit.Ah, to simulate Radio control interferance? Clever :approve:
but the ziggo shell deals damage underneath so it works perfectly
Well hopefully, if I do end up fighting you, I could go round the back and turn it over where it's most vunerable.
OK then Nary, point taken. Whilst you're here, are you entering a reserve bot?Well hopefully, if I do end up fighting you, I could go round the back and turn it over where it's most vunerable.
The AI can't do this. Main hope for you is an OOTA or immobilization, not flanking.
difference is Tentomushi is actually able to move around after being flipped :PI see...but even still, hopefully I can win on Judge's decisions by flipping opponents around the arena. Purse's low body allows it to duck under bar spinners, too.
but please tell me you didnt lower yourself to using the cheaty judge motor.
I will eventually enter 2EZ if i get to rebuild it. I built it, it wasn't flat enough for my taste, i BFE'd it with normal notepad, screwed it up and the bot file is now corrupt.but please tell me you didnt lower yourself to using the cheaty judge motor.
Pretty sure he did. Or on another replica :P

Pretty sure he did. Or on another replica :P
It does say that the Judge Burst can be used for powerful flippers on the first post.Yes, but for whatever reason, it seems frowned upon by some.
doesnt matter Tentomushi should break the flipper segments quick enough with a bit of luck :PNot unless I can tip it over first :approve:
I just hate how its so obviously abused
you know if we dont face Badnik needs to give us a grudge match right ? :PGuess so.
*slips Badnik 50 virtual money*No conspiracies! :mrgreen:
how about you put the game mode as 2 on 1
*covers self with hat and trench-coat and walks into shadows*
It's a shame we can't have backstage secret tactics. Would make things a bit more awesome. =PYeah, like Tag-Teams becoming legal for grudge matches!
I personally think it's more to do with the rep.Quoted for truth. For lifters, a slow motor, such as a lifter motor, would be ideal.
A gravity rep needs to have a powerfull flipper so judge is justified there but using a judge on a P.A rep or a Wild thing rep isn't right really.
well thanks to GF93 taking my original design (not in a bad way).I'm so sorry...I didn't know.
I swear if you dont stop saying sorry i will kill you.It's just the way I speak sometimes...I tend to apologise a lot.
well thats what i made.Ah, now I remember. Love the warning stripes on the flipper :approve:

I have my rep made i just want to test it out a bit
One problem is that i dont have RA2 on this laptop, but i will download a copy of it from sage's sig, and when i tried to test it on my PC it crashed so i dont know how powerful it is.
If it isnt powerful enough i may have to use the judge burst if thats ok with others?
Also do you still have the RW1 bots Badnik?Ah yes, we did discuss that, didn't we? Supernova vs Cassius II :P
If you do i would like to propose a challenge to GF93.
Also do you still have the RW1 bots Badnik?
Moar finnish reps entering? Wohoo! :gawe:
I swear if you dont stop saying sorry i will kill you.It's just the way I speak sometimes...I tend to apologise a lot.
Goldenfox... You've built my Favourite Finnish bot... Thankyou... :heart_smiley:No worries, man! And I'll try to live up to its real-life reputation in the tournament :approve:
Also Badnik, can you use the updated version of my robot I sent for the wildcards? (IE. The one with the flipper segments instead of the angle connectors)
Ah, that's alright then. Wasn't certain if I'd sent it or not.Also Badnik, can you use the updated version of my robot I sent for the wildcards? (IE. The one with the flipper segments instead of the angle connectors)
That's the one I was going to use anyway.

If only I could make Mechadon a LW. :(You can't make a walker bot like mechadon.
Here's my first attempt at Mechadon:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68549mechadonrep.PNG)
Yes, I stacked the air tanks (5 smalls), but this was a rush job. For now I can say that it needs a longer chassis to prevent itself from tipping over. Also, the HP servos can't self-right this beast, and the actuators only makes it scuttle along the ground. D:
Erm, not to burst your bubble, but:DAMN YOU PWN!!!!!Here's my first attempt at Mechadon:

Herr Gepounden- I like how Scrap did the paintjob for this one. That pole looks vunerable to breakages, though.wat?
By that, I mean that it looks good, but its pole (On which the hammer is situated) looks a bit brittle. In other words, might break at a crucial moment.Herr Gepounden- I like how Scrap did the paintjob for this one. That pole looks vunerable to breakages, though.wat?
GF93, that is a very good rep.
Cool Rep, Goldenfox! I love It! :approve:Thanks guys! I didn't think it looked all that great, myself. But hopefully, I'll get a couple of opponents over whilst I'm in there :claping
Of which I won't be one of them. >=DWant to bet? :evilsmile:
Junkyard Dog- Ah, so not the box on wheels with the pnuematic ram, then? Nonetheless, It looks interesting, but where are the weapons?Well, there are 3 iron spikes in the front and 4 spike script for decoration. You can probably see it a lot better on this image.
Them sounds like fighting words. :evilsmile:Of which I won't be one of them. >=DWant to bet? :evilsmile:

Another bypasser aye? Oh well I really dont care anymore.
PWN, PREVIOUS CHAMPION,
Can fair well depending on DP of the ziggo shell.
MikeNCR - One of the better fighters, most likely. Plus it uses overpowered parts :P
the bar middle is worse then a DSL bar
the bar ends deal the same as normal DSL bars
and the motor is the same as a normal TWM
:gawe:
the bar middle is worse then a DSL bar
the bar ends deal the same as normal DSL bars
and the motor is the same as a normal TWM
:gawe:
I remember the ends having 2 times the HP of a normal DSL bar for the same weight and same DP, hence overpowered.
I don't remember if they have normals though... i don't think so ??
GK - It looks like this will fail at any moment...
Zog - ...as well as this robot.
cause you can do so much stuff with the cheatbot parts.
Also I hope this will be the last LW replica tourney.
Craaig - Unsurprisingly, coming from such a builder, it's quite random... is that a rammer ?
I purely entered this tourny for fun - im facing Dark Pounder with a 3mm Ali wedge ram bot in the first round - wonder how that will end :PYeah, yours is definitely one of the best looking I've seen, Wham. But there is a possiblity that you could slide under Dark Pounder's bar with Hunter's wedge, and push it around the arena. It looks low enough to the ground to do so.
I was thinking of having a small spike slightly poking out the front of Hunter to do a bit of damage but the weight wouldnt let meh :P
Ahh well, least i may be able to go for most realistic or summin like tat :gawe:
I dunno Wham, Pwn's bot is the wedgiest in this tourney.Badnik, the wedge idea was my suggestion :rolleyes:
Tentomushi? Piece of a cake! :evilsmile:Trust me, don't underestimate that little slice! ;)
So I'm up against Whirligig in Round 1? Right.
It depends on how fast Whirligig can get up to speed and if it can flip over and hit Purse's lid. From what I can see though, it looks a bit weak, so if I can flip it around enough to cause damage, I could possibly OOTA it or damage it enough to win.
OK then. It's not so much the armour I'll be going for, but it's more the external weapon pole I'll be going for. Hopefully I can flip it around enough to break the connectors.So I'm up against Whirligig in Round 1? Right.

You've got it right to an extent. It can't flip over (for some reason or another; I wish I knew how), and that weapon's a bit suspect. However, it does have 5 mm Alu (mainly for realism purposes, as Whirligig was made out of 6061 Aluminum), so it won't be that easy to strike down.
i'm up against Matkia. i think i atually stand a chance seeing that has a chassis wedge and my Hkasa has skirt hing.Hkasa reminds me a little bit of Vector of Armageddon :D
it doesn't ring any bells here.Here-
I think that I have good possibilities to beat Tentomushi.Provided your bars hold out long enough and you can get round the side or back, there's a possibility. Last time I checked, Ziggo S
thanks for that.Only just noticed this. Anyway, that's OK :cool:
