Each One Like Another (EOLA)
« on: August 19, 2018, 06:03:48 AM »
So I had this idea floating around in my head for a while, and I wanted to see how it would turn out. Don't worry! AotA is still going, so keep on sending in your submissions!
Anyways, onto the rules.
BUILDING:
DSL 2.3
IRL
Component freedom is allowed
OBJRA2 and BFE are also allowed
cheatbot2 is allowed, but not for the competitive section, so make two versions if you use cheatbot2!
Although allowed, keep custom components to a minimum
You will be building a replica of a robot I choose. If you already have a replica of said bot, you are 100% allowed to enter it.
COMPETITION
While this tournament is more focused on seeing how talented builders react given a task, there will be a small fighting aspect, so make sure your bot looks and fights good!
BB or RW arena (depends on recreate)
Matches are 3 minutes
Hazards on
In case of havok, the match will restart. If it is continuous, the problem bot will be disqualified
single elimination
32 entrants (may change later)

If anything else needs to be said or changed, let me know. I am still fairly new to this whole thing.

Good idea. However, I also prefer if you do it Orc's Tourney style, where people are also given bots to replicate, but the twist is that the person replicating must also add their own originality to the replicated bot and give it different name, but still related to the original bot

Good idea for a side tourney. For now, I'm a little less ambitious.

Isn't Replica Wars already a tournament?

I think people will be more excited if it's like Orc's Tourney on how you build the bots, which, as I said before, involves a person being given a RL bot to replicate, but have to add their own original twist to it

Building replicas is already pretty difficult, so having a replica only tournament limits the number of people who will be interested. I doubt you'll get many people wanting to build a replica of YOUR choosing. You're basically doing a version of GTMBB that people are less likely to enter, both due to the reason I stated earlier and because GTMBB is an 'official' tournament.

I personally think replica tournaments are retarded anyway, but telling people which replica to make is taking away a huge reason for anyone to bother entering in the first place, at least in my view.

Well, there are people here who are better at building replicas than building competitive beasts. I consider this a chance for them to shine. If it makes anything better, I could have a vote from the contenders on which bots they want to build.
