Title: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Stagfish on January 04, 2011, 11:06:55 AM
 (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80968robonova%20replica%20showdown.png)
 
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. (this is at my discretion alone)

Am I allowed to randomise which bots are in which heat? I forgot to say that in the discussion.

Post by: Thyrus on January 18, 2011, 12:07:32 PM
I think it is better to randomize all heats since people can wait till one of the better builders is in a full heat and sends his entry to be in another.

(did I also send the bindings?)

Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown

I will try to whip a replica up for this... Might take me a bit though, I have no idea which one to make. Any suggestions?

I'm getting tired of people not properly skinning components!

Just changing the .bmp is NOT skinning.

It doesn't, it just looks like it.

And who the heck is Dragonforce?

But I just checked, its exactly the same...

It's not. 027 never got his hands on your TT, it's probably a coincidence.

I might put a time limit on this, i'm clearly not getting any entries anymore.
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on March 08, 2011, 02:21:23 PM
Yeah, probably a good idea.  Anyone who intends to submit a bot in the near future should declare it now.
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Stagfish on March 08, 2011, 02:24:49 PM
New time limit, all bots must be in by the end of March. NO EXCEPTIONS.

can someone suggest a bot "other than chip" for me to make a replica of?  I'd like to rep one that has a decent detailed picture on the internet.  Chip doesn't have squat other than that one grainy TV still. Thanks!
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on March 08, 2011, 09:20:31 PM
Depends.  What kind of replica are you looking to make?
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Jack Daniels on March 09, 2011, 04:21:39 AM
Depends.  What kind of replica are you looking to make?

Anything really. I don't care too much if it is competitive or not. Preferably not a boring flipper or a wedge.
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Thyrus on March 09, 2011, 09:28:32 AM
Kan Opener, Spike [both], Saw Point [both], Shunt, Slicer, Hard [Loanerbot], Amok, Steg-O-Saw-Us or Golem. Or another bot
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Conraaa on March 09, 2011, 10:21:34 AM
Blade?
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown

I made a Saw Point replica (The saw wheel one), it was surprisingly good at fighting.

Thanks Thyrus for your suggestions! I looked at those bots and couldn't get inspired by them. However, a couple of links through that wikia led me to the bot I think I will build.

Victor 2.  Should be fun.  Will have to cram before the 15th though.
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Thyrus on March 10, 2011, 12:34:23 AM

after viewing Victor 2s Wikipage I saw that Scarab looks badass.

It should still be there, if you haven't built over the slot where it was you can retrieve it.

Haha, too late.  :P I already built over the slot. But, I still should rebuild it because the chassis height was a bit too tall. This is probably the divine kick in the ass that I need. 

Thank you though.

Why are there 8 Cruellas in the signups?  Surely it would be easier to just do a regular 16-bot tournament than introduce unecessary byebots.

Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Badnik96 on March 15, 2011, 03:40:04 PM
Just randomize the heats so you don't have a bye heat. It would suck to see a Byebot make the final instead of a more deserving bot.
Title: Re: Robonova Replica Showdown
Post by: Stagfish on March 15, 2011, 03:41:18 PM
They will be randomised silly.

Did anyone else read Freakonomics?  They had a story about a daycare where moms weren't picking up their kids on time.  So in order to curtail late pickups, the daycare imposed a small fine.  But that actually increased the number of late pickups, because rather than feeling punished, the moms interpreted the fine as an absolution of guilt- pay a little bit of money, and you're forgiven for your negligence.

It's the same thing here, with the punishment for tournament bailing spelled out in black and white, I think people are less afraid to do it.


Stagfish?  More like Stagnant.
