Notes:
I will be doing the AI (and bindings), unless you're willing to AI (and bind) yours.
Custom .pys are allowed, but you must send the bindings.
You cannot enter, until I have received, and accepted your robot.
I will be more stricter when it comes to entries.
Multi-extenders, have been re skinned to black.
Titanium extenders, as well.
There will be better pre-match information compared to the HoriZon, while commentary may still not be done.
The Arena:

Rules:
The game will be a fresh DSL (2.1). No custom parts, neither edited components. It will be Realistic: IRL based.
There will be 24 entries.
One robot, per person.
Empty spaces (if any) will be filled up with bye bots made by moi - obviously.
This will be a Middleweight tournament.
The only Cheatbot2 part allowed, is the Judge motor.
The ONLY glitch allowed, is the small chassis.
Must have at least 2 wheel drive, and all wheel drives must have/show controlled movement.
Meaning no clusters, crawlers, scuttles, etc.
A robot CAN be upgraded, until the end of the deadline for entries.
Unlimited amount of upgrades.
Sending a new robot is allowed, since it'd be classified as an upgrade.
Matches:
It will be a Single Elimination tournament.
There will be a Rumble at the end of the competition.
Round 1 - Eight 3-way matches. 1 robot winning from each match.
Round 2 - Four singles matches. 1 robot winning from each match.
Round 3 - Two singles matches. Each winner goes to the final.
Round 4 (1) - The two losers of Round 3 will fight in the playoff for 3rd placing.
Round 4 (2) - The two winners of Round 3, will fight to become the champion.
Special Round - All robots (with or without more) fight each other, in a big rumble finale.
3 minute match, per match. Judges' decision will be based on points scored.
Due to a number of controversy decisions during the HoriZon, the Status Messages will be turned on.
The arena will be the DSL 3 "Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament" arena, with edited textures; hazards.
See "The Arena".
A robot will never be disqualified for havoking. If a havok happens, the match will restart, until there is a clear winner.
The rumble, will however allow havoks.

I could send you my backup bot if you want.
Nah, I'm fine perhaps I will try to rebuild, after all the bot was preety small but thats the challenging part... Fitting in 2 NPCs with space still left over other modules... ehh hopefully I can rebuild it (although it won't look exactly the same) by the time the tournaments entries are done.
EDIT:
Well it seems I was able to rebuild my bot in a few hours... Although it doesn't seem as effective as it was before at least we and I all know I'm still going to try and enter.
Here is an image of how it did in a match:

What could this terrible beast be??? (Note: It was used an exhibition match)
I hope this hasn't gone down the tubes, the doctor's just itching to get the on the insides of his future opponents (In more ways than one).
Pardon my immaturity, but...
