Title: Revolution - Signups (Closed)
Post by: Lightning S. on July 31, 2016, 07:49:38 PM

Building Rules:
-Lightweight Stock 1.4
-No BFE/AAM/Hax Mode/etc.
-Multibots, bots that have their drive designed to break off, and SnS bots are banned
-All robots must show controlled movement via at least two powered wheels
-AI parts/140cm extender/blue snapper/etc. are allowed
-After sending your robot to me, you may update it only once, and only before signups close.
Tournament Format:
-Unlimited entries (1 bot per person)
-Arena will be the BBEANS v2 arena with hazards on
-Before each match, robots will be seeded based on how well they do in a pre-match fight. This fight will cycle every round between destroying a SFTW-esque bot, taking on two beetleweights, and surviving against a heavyweight. Here are the robots being used:
All of these kinds of matches will be in the combat arena with hazards off.
-After robots have been seeded, the ones with the lowest rankings will enter the arena first. As each robot is eliminated from a round, the robot with the next lowest seed will enter the battle.
-Robots get 3 lives for the span of the tournament
-I probably didn't do a great job of explaining how rounds will work after robots are seeded, so here is an example round:
-A robot can earn an extra life by destroying (read: delivering the final hit to the chassis of) 3 other robots in a single round.
Other:
-I can AI, but it is preferred that you do it yourself. That being said, no cheaty AIs. If I AI your bot, you may not complain unless I have made an obvious mistake.
-I will be entering with this:
-Thrackerzod gets a reserved entry if he wishes
-Winner will be allowed two entries in my next tournament


Green - Received and AI'd
Blue - Received
Red - Problem


You have to enter.

Sounds interesting. I will be up for this if a stock vote passes.

I'll await the poll.

Drive designed to break off? So it needs to be inside the chassis? Because one of your example bots isn't following that.
No idea what you're trying to do with fighting two beetleweights or surviving against a heavyweight and I find the life system way too complicated for something like this, why not simply make it based on points?

1. Cheap Norris style bot (http://i.imgur.com/e4KaPO9.jpg) where the drive is supposed to just get knocked off and it basically becomes a crawler.
2. Robots get seeded by it to determine which order they are put into to the rumble match.
3. Really don't see how it's too complicated since after each round every robot other than the winner of said round will have lost a life. (Unless they of course earn extras by destroying 3 robots in one round)

yes it was designed for my tournament tusslers 2 since a crawler beat the sh!t out of everything in tusslers 1 and it was in the combat arena so i banned them for tusslers 2

please ironforge every single tournament is stock and DSL
Title: Re: Revolution - Discussion

I personally would like stock. It would be nice to have a reason to build a large number of lightweights.
Not to mention it would be a good way to come off hiatus.

Title: Re: Revolution - Signups
Post by: Lightning S. on August 19, 2016, 01:04:03 AM
entries from thrackerzod and hi5er are ai'd and ready to go
thrackerzod's bot has a tiny problem that i've already notified him about. it won't affect its performance against other competitors, so i'm leaving it up to him whether or not he wants to send me an updated version.

also less than a week to sign up so get on that

Post by: Lightning S. on August 21, 2016, 01:08:41 PM
thrackerzod sent me a fix for his robot so that won't be a problem anymore.
3 days to sign up though. i might extend the deadline, but tbh i'd like to get this mostly done before school starts
