Your just going to have to put up with it or not allow multiple entries,

You cant restrict people from entering based on skill..
The rule isn't perfect, no, but there aren't that many good builders that cannot put together a basic AI

That doesn't really take into account time contraints and such. For instance, someone might have the time to put together three bots, or just enough to bring up three older designs, but not have time to write a specific AI for each one.

I don't see a problem with the multiple entries rule.  By far the greatest time investment in bot building is making the bot.  Making the AI takes like 20 minutes at the very most, often less, as long as you don't need a custom py.  If you have time to build a bot, then you have time to AI it.


Plus, it's only fair for people who put in the time to AI their own bots to have an advantage, since it eases Vertigo's work load and helps get the tourney up and running faster.


And it's a just plain fun rule.  It should create a good diversity of bot types.

Anyone else have a problem with the havok rules?

I'll probably open signups in a few weeks time, letting you guys know so that you can prepare you're teams
I'm assuming quite a few of you will want to send your first entry rather quickly due to the 3 day gap rule :P

Havok rules look fine.  Harsh, but that's OK with me.

      - Bots are divided into the following categories:
        Popup, Spinner, Flipper, Hammer, SNS, Crawler, Juggler, Rammer/Wammer/Poker
        These designs can only be used once, one on each bot


Wait, so do HS, VS, and FS all fall under "Spinner"?  So you couldn't enter a VS and a HS?


If so, jugglers should count as spinners too.

Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
