Robonova Replica Showdown
« on: November 04, 2010, 03:54:20 PM »

Maybe this will start... Maybe it wont.
 
RULES.
 
1. DSL HW
2. Cluster bots are not allowed.
3. The brackets and battles will be in heats like robot wars.
4. Replicas have to work like the real thing (although some replicas may be allowed to pass this rule)
5. Walkers can be 1200KG, shufflers do not count.
6. Only robot wars replicas.
7. Some BFE allowed (chassis height and shape, but it has to be like the real thing)
8. No AAM, Zero G or Narmour.
9. No stacking batteries, control boards or air tanks.
10. All other glitches are allowed.
11. No metal hinge wedges.
12. Skinning is allowed but you have to send me the parts for it to work.
13. 4 way fights.
14. No multibots.
15. Cheatbot2 is allowed.
16. There can only be one replica of each bot (meaning if I enter Napalm you guys cant enter napalm or if S_M enters The spider you guys cant enter the spider, basically you have to be quick)
17. No making replicas of bots that are already in DSL.
18. If a havok the match will be reset, if another the bot who havoked loses.
19. No added metal hinge wedges or skirt wedges (Look at Cassius 2 from replica wars for an example)
20. Custom components ARE allowed but they are not allowed to be overpowered and you HAVE to send them to me with the bot. Overpowered components will be disqualified.

Anything I've missed?
 
Heat 1
1.
2.
3.
4.

6.
7.
8.
 
Heat 2
 
1.
2.

Heat 3
 
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

I've gone for 16 bots because it usually takes a long time for me to get entries.
 
Also, I lost the previous Robonova arenas due to a computer virus a while back. If anyone has the R2 arena could you please send Thank you.

Prize:


TEST FIGHT

*Will probably enter Double Trouble once this starts*

And are skinned parts allowed?

You should go for 24 bots, than a losers melee to find the fourth finalist (the 3 heat finalists fight each other in a rumble), replica tourneys fill up fast.

[secret] If so... I have a rep that I am making... [/secret]

well I agree, they have had a sudden spike in popularity (I blame Badnik :P)

but saying that is like saying too many DSL tournaments about yours..

good to see you still using my logo too
