No, no no.  The AI does not have sufficient skills to avoid the hazards.  Most of the matches would be decided by bad driving.  You had it right the first time; the RAT2#2 arena with hazards disabled

Also, do Lightweight class entries actually have to be of Lightweight bots?  Because there were only a handful of that weight class on Robot Wars.


yes for Q1 no for Q2

Ok then.  Have you appointed a judge yet for seeing whether the bots are "pure ownage?" because I've completed my entry, all that's left is the skinning

I dont know if you could manage 16 replica builders.. maybe 8 would do better. I sadly lost a few of my replicas when DSL when down the toilet a while ago (got a new version since thanks to sage) if I dont find any time I might see if I can make some but I really dont know at this stage

Seriously?  But my entry is a heavyweight, it's not easy to build a middleweight in DSL and still have it both powerful and accurate, especially when it's areplica of a heavyweight to begin with.  Have you actually got any entries in the Middleweight division?  I'd really recommend that your one weight class be Heavyweight, or you just allo any weights to enter.


Also, maybe you could color-code the entrants on the front page like the other tournament organizers do, maybe green for entry received, blue for AI'd.

Yeah, you better add the realistic rule to this...

Snapper loading is a completely legal technique in DSL as long as the bot could work IRL.

Also - yes, we enter middleweights, but do the original (real life) bot has to be a middleweight?

I might have to drop too if it's middleweight only, my replica that I spent so much time working on before you changed the rule, is a HW.  

I'm sure I won't be the only one caught off-guard by this new rule, I seriously advise you to allow all weight calsses, or you might get more dropouts than just me and Joe.

I can't make any promises about staying in.  You've basically put me back to square one by telling me I can't have a heavyweight.  My robot is about 234 kg too heavy to be a middleweight, trimming to down is not going to be possible.  So, I'm forced to now choose a different robot to replicate, and hope against hope that I can find that balance between power and accuracy that I did so well with my heavyweight entry.

Look, I'm sure I'm not the only one who was thinking of doing a heavyweight, you never answered my question as to what class the majority of people were building in.   So I'm begging you, please re-open the competition to heavyweights.  It really would be a shame to let this one go to waste.

I never meant that there shouldn't be three weight classes, I just wanted to know why he kept shouting "THERE ARE 3 WEIGHT CLASSES!!!!!!!!1111111" all the time, when he hadn't even received any entries yet.

Look badnik, you don't even have eight entrants yet, you probably shouldn't make the tournament any more restrictive than it has to be.

im with Sonny on this.
For a start, we STILL cant have any reskinned or custom components, which means that the range of replicas that can be done is VERY slim.
Next, just MWs?!
A: I'm having trouble thinking of a decent British MW that wouldnt involve custom components (since im doing this for Britain, as always, lol)
B: Middleweights to me are, the 'odd' class.
Now adays, theres only like 5/6 middleweights still running in britain!
So, i think it would be better if the weight class was to be changed to something wider like LWs and HWs.
If these things are not met, then i can see this tournament going very badly.
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

I think out of respect to Sonny (the replica king) you should consider doing HW. He has been the most supportive of your tourney thus far.  I am, honestly, not convinced that you have the skills to pull off a successful tournament, which is why I have not entered.

However, these experiences are how we learn. I hope you are learning a bit so you can be more focused and prepared when you possibly host a second event.
