rnifnuf's first tournament-discussion

[rnifnuf]

Hello and good evening to you.

I have three ideas for tournaments.

This first one takes RA2 to the skies! I call it: RA2 Dogfight.

The tournament is Stock HW, standard building rules (no non-asthetic BFE, no AAM, no Hax Mode, all non-cheatbot2 parts allowed).

The catch? Your bot must be able to fly. In other words, it MUST have a hovercraft engine on it (or more, I don't care how many are on it as long as it is at least one).

Other rules may include:

• Multibots allowed, must be 2-part, one bot goes down then the whole bot is out.
• Flippers, popups, jugglers, and wammers are ineffective, allowed if you can make it work.
• Bots must have at least one air tank for flying.
• To clarify on which components are allowed, it is everything in Stock EXCEPT FOR the cannon, flamethrower, and the magnet.
• Smartzones do not count as weight

RA2  one is similar to Dogfight, except instead of requiring a hovercraft engine, you are required to have a Powered Steering Unit.

That's right, forced car steering!

Rules if Stock:

• Stock MW, standard Stock building rules (NO BFE, NO AAM, NO HAX MODE, NO cheatbot2, no custom components, etc.)
• Smartzones don't count as weght.
• Your PSU must be used for steering.
• The PSU does not count as weight

Rules if DSL:

• DSL 2.1 Cruiserweight (up to 600kg), Standard building rules
• Standard rule excepted for the PSU
• The PSU does count as weight
• Weapons
  

  • S3 Disc
  • Matilda Teeth
  • diablodrum

  
  Extenders
  

  • All stock extenders
  • Matilda flywheel

  
  Wheels
  

  • All replica wheels (including beta and Thermidor wheels)

  
  Extras
  

  • ALL replica extras except for the following:
  • • The Judge gavel head
    • Beta battery and hammer
    • Any other weapons or batteries in Extras including the stock batteries and DarkCell Batteries, which are in the power section.
• Also no Narmor

DSL 2.1 CW, standard building rules. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Each user sends in a CW, but then they are randomly assigned teams of two to make a SHW Multibot. Then, they work together to defeat a SHW bot. Teams that win are advanced to the next round.

Winning is one of the following:

• Opponent is KO'ed (One or both user-submitted bots standing)
• Both bots survive until the end of the match AND win by points
  
  The combined score of the two user-submitted bots must be greater than the score of the SHW

Losing is:

• Both bots being KO'ed
• Time running out and only one CW is remaining
• Loss by Points

BUT WAIT THERE'S STILL MORE!

At the end of each match and after each team has advanced, the bot teams will be reassigned. This shall continue until two bots remain, then they will face off against each other.

Rules:

• As said before, DSL 2.1 Cruiserweight, standard building rules
• No BFE, AAM, Hax mode, other forms of havok abuse, Trov/Thyrus chassis glitches, etc.
• Also no Narmor. Should be a given, but I should say it anyways.
• Also no Cheatbot2.

I am not green-ticking these because I don't know if I will have the time to start them.
Thoughts?

I like the first one, but would prefer DSL

RA2 Kart sounds cool. Also, we've already had a hovercraft tourney in the past, and I'm always one for unique tourneys.

[cephalopod]

Standard DSL rules with beta hammers, darkcell batteries etc? Are you sure?

[Lightning S.]

First one's been done, just with DSL. Second sounds interesting, but you might have some AI troubles.

[rnifnuf]

To clarify on the component rules for RA2 Kart, I said that Beta hammers and DarkCells were banned.

I'll work on making that more clear in the rules.

EDIT: Done.

Planning to enter the CW with a car-themed robot, if that one passes.

[Mr. AS]

i will almost certainly enter if it is the two stock options. miiight enter the DSL CW option, but I really dont care for cw at all... barely anybody builds cw anyways.

[rnifnuf]

Bump. Sorry :[

I added a new tournament idea, "Hooray for Teamwork?"

Check it out and share your thoughts.
