Robot Arena 2 2014 World Cup - Signups

[nicsan2009]

Yes its for the gimmick. Just all in good fun

[nicsan2009]

So it has been a long time and I think it's finally time to move this along what do you guys think?

[cephalopod]

Moved back to Active Discussion.
You'll need to check out the new Tournament rules, you need to get half your entry list size of 'Yes, I will enter this tournament' votes in a poll and then drop me a PM to move to signups - also, as you have 0 tournament points you can only have up to 16 entries, sorry, but that means you only need 8 'Yes' votes to proceed.
Let me know if you have any questions :)

[nicsan2009]

Okay thank you I will fix that and definitely let you know! :)

[cephalopod]

2 other things you might wanna change:
-You'd need to show your entry before signups open so you need to decide whether you'll enter or not
-You may wish to update your allowed list of Custom Components, a few you've got down have been outlawed in most tournaments since (like the Beta Hammer)

[nicsan2009]

Alright thanks once again. I don't think I will enter after-all.

[Jakewilliamson]

Yeah, don't allow any beta hammer's because of one reasons:

there over powered and powerful.

[nicsan2009]

  Only four more votes guys keep on comin

[cephalopod]

[nicsan2009]

Shield's entry has been recieved :) will get to accepting it once I get back from school today. Can't wait for this thing to get started you guys.

[Jakewilliamson]

Did you ban the beta hammer's?

Im gonna toss something for this.

[nicsan2009]

I sure did.

[nicsan2009]

Dp Shield you don't have enough weight on the judge bursts and that causes it to spazz out. You can either replace it with a normal mag or add weight onto the flippers.

[Natster-104]

This sounds good... maybe I'll enter it

[Naryar]

damn i remember the time when the DSL tournaments were DSL so you could actually fight and not all this "not irl enough" nonsense.

[El Chickenado]

i like watching irl more so thats why i make irl bots
also lifting motor allowed?
 because if so then i have an interesting entrant

Go for it

I like IRL, Infact I cannot stand Non IRL, all robots are uninspired, going for the "Razor Rammer" or "Stick pointy things on tribars woop". IRL is how I believe RA2 should be played.

[nicsan2009]

So Qwerty brought this up and I can't believe I didn't think of it haha so if you want to represent a country you can but it is not a requirement.

Uninspired? Really? It's more inspired than "let's build a wedge with four wheels. Yay, done." or "eugh I've got everything I need and I still have 100kg left, let's chuck on random pointless components!" every other bot.

And if you consider BFEing the way it's meant to be played, then sure. Considering a large portion of IRL bots have been BFE'd in some way or another...
