hey guys i thought i would start up a robo zone 2 topic to discuss what sort of challenges you would like to see in the second series. I'm also after some good DSL builders to help me with team robo zone (the house robots)... that's right robo zone 2 will be DSL LW's.
challenges:
- Beat the Box:
Your robot faces a well defended box to test your robots offense.
- Survival:
Your robot will face a powerful heavyweight to see how well defended your bot is.
- 2 on 1:
Your robot faces 2 beetleweights to test your robots overall design and weight management.
- Sumo Challenge:
Your robot will face a robot that weighs about 275kgs and has a lot of pushing power and a decent wedge on the flextop arena to test your robots steering, pushing power and wedge.
- Robo Zone 2 Final:
this series will also feature the debut of the Robo Zone Arena, a custom arena in which the top 4 placed robots will face off at the end to decide the winner. the 4th and 3rd place robots at the end of the challenges will start the match, 30 seconds later the 2nd place robot will join in and finally after another 30 seconds the 1st placed robot at the end of the challenges will join in the battle.
Rules:
1. Standard DSL (2.1) LW's.
2. Standard DSL realistic rules apply.
3. All bot building is to be done in the bot lab (No AAM, BFE Etc.)
4. I will Discard the match recordings containing Havoks and keep/post the 1st clean battle.
5. No Stacking Allowed (No eFFe, axle, snapper glitches Etc.) unless it sticks to the realistic rule.
6. No Narmor or any type of invincible armor.
7. Multi-bots are allowed up to a combined weight of 249kgs.
8. You should AI your own entry. I'm able to AI basic spinners and rammers, I can AI popups if you have already placed the smartzone. By getting me to AI you understand that your bot may not perform as well as you would have hoped.
9. Your Robot must have weapons (no Pure flippers, Wedges or pushers allowed).
10. All Robots must have at least 2 wheel drive and show controlled movement at all times.
