Revolution - Signups (Closed)
« 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.

Doesn't the vote need to include Stock/Ironforge/DSL firstly?

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 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)

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.

ToT2 had an IF division, and so did Ironbot Jr. (though that's old news :P)
