RNP: Poker Night at the Arena - Sign-ups

[Probably Rob]

Introduction Video:

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.

[Badnik96]

Neat. I'm in.

Marble Zone Meltdown will be getting a much-deserved makeover...

[090901]

Are we allowed to BFE the chassis height?

[Probably Rob]

To make it smaller, yes, not taller.

[Merrick]

You just know I'm in for any IRL. 

[MassimoV]

I'm all in 

[Camaro Kid]

Well, better sign up for this one when I can

[Shield]

Aww yeah, another Rob tournament. Count me in.

[SKBT]

Vrooom?

[Camaro Kid]

Vrooom?

No!

[DaKuzel48]

Meh, I may be new around these parts but ill give it a shot. Luckily I have made some bots over the past 2 months I think ill pick my best one.

Just a question: Will our bot be allowed if it has decals from a mod?

[Probably Rob]

Yes, custom decals are allowed, since it's just a texture decoration.

[Probably Rob]

Custom showcased robot has now had a makeover to be non-custom, and [hopefully] my new BattleBots 7 Middleweight entry, along with my entry for Poker Night: Eight.




The first possible bye bot is one of the original bye bots for HoriZon, which also had a slight makeover, with a homage to Father Midnight 2: Jupiter 2.

[Badnik96]

IMO Jupiter is probably better (and cooler) than Eight.

[Probably Rob]

IMO Jupiter is probably better (and cooler) than Eight.

Will it make you happy, if I say that it's my BattleBots 7 Lightweight entry? 

[Shield]

Is Eight a SnS? Or...

[Probably Rob]

It can move forwards and backwards, besides sitting [and spinning].

[playzooki]

I feel a good for it 2 coming...

[helloface]

Will probably enter.

[AlexGRFan97]

I shall reskin my Articulator for this.
