Title: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 26, 2010, 01:48:32 PM
Hey, I've decided to make an offspring of Robot Wars Ressurected, this time, available for all GTM members, and DSL Realistic. The rules are:

DSL Realistic
1vs1 Deathmatch
DSL MW
No Flamethrowers
Multibots allowed, both multibots must weight 200kg or lower, if one half of the multibot is out, then both parts is out
Arena: Comabt Arena
Arena hazards on
Matches will last 3 minutes
3 matches, 2 out of 3
Single elimination, no loser's bracket
No in game glitches allowed, no BFE, AAM, Etc.
16 entrants
Deadline: 31st January
Bots must be recieved before you are considered 'in'. I will not reserve spots.
Bot may be upgraded 3 times, but no more.
Upon havok, 1 restart, if havok happens again, bot is disqualified
Matches will be recorded with Fraps
Cheatbot2 parts NOT ALLOWED

How it goes: Everyone will be assigned bot types to design. You will NOT be assigned SNS, SS, Pop-ups or Jugglers. I will decide what bot type you will build based on prior bots showcased. The robot you enter must also be un-showcased.

List of bot types you might receive:
Face Spinner
Wammer
Vertical Spinner
Sawbot
Rammer
Poker
Horizontal Spinner
Hammer
Flipper
Clamp
Walker (Double weight limit allowed)
Drum
Multibot
Angled VS
Any 2-bot type Hybrid
Any 3-bot type Hybrid

Whining about recieved bot type WILL result in a disqualification

Signups will begin on the 1st January. Good luck.

ahm no?!

1. You already made this RWR thing and you failed somehow (I don`t even know why... you had the bots and they had been AIed)

2. This is just like one of the official tournaments. You just can`t host one without going through the process like all the other tournaments.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Scorpion on December 26, 2010, 01:56:51 PM
How come RWR is not considered a tourney but this one is by you?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 26, 2010, 01:58:21 PM
Because this is RWR Extreme...

Aand that's about all the reasoning I can give. RWR Series 3 will be like this, so don't fret.

@Thyrus The first episode of RWR Series 2 is on my Youtube account, so shut it.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Thyrus on December 26, 2010, 01:59:48 PM
that`s another good question!
I think I just wanted to have Cheatbot in a tourney :P

But in general it`s true what others say.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 26, 2010, 02:01:41 PM
Yeah, I did screw over the system with RWR. I'm sorry, OK? Now, could we please move on from that and talk about this?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Scorpion on December 26, 2010, 02:06:06 PM
Fair enough, atleast you've admitted it.
So, I take it from the rules that cheatbot parts are allowed?

Well, you can't use glitches even if they abide by the realistic rule and...well that's it it seems...
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion

Why is it called"Robot Wars Resurrected" if it has nothing to do with the show?

Post by: FOTEPX on December 26, 2010, 04:50:45 PM
Why is it called"Robot Wars Resurrected" if it has nothing to do with the show?

Because it contains some of the robots used in Robot Wars, and because I couldn't think of a better name at the time.

I apologize FOTEPX. I havn`t seen that you`ve posted this in the discussion section.

Make this IRL realistic.

Make this IRL realistic and watch the popularity severely decline

Fixed  :P

I love looking at IRL robots but the backwards building doesn't draw in much of a crowd
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: SteveM4 on December 27, 2010, 03:21:34 AM
I'm just seeing many Sheck Spinners and Popups and no different designs.

We should assign designs.
Like JoeBlo has to do a Sheck Spinner, or Fopetx has to do a Flipper

Something like that. (BTTB Much?  :gawe:)

I kinda like that idea, but how about (even though it might be a bit hard to implement) that the type of bot you get, depends on how good a builder you are, so some-one (these are just examples) like Cory has to make a popup and some-one like 123 has to make something like a hammer bot.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: SteveM4 on December 27, 2010, 06:31:52 AM
I could make a flippah!
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 27, 2010, 10:56:00 AM
Y'know what KM? That idea ain't half-bad! Ok, everyone will be assigned bot types to design. You will NOT be assigned SNS, SS, Pop-ups or Jugglers.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Scorpion on December 27, 2010, 11:11:01 AM
How's the bot type you're assigned chosen?
If there's a decent system for it, I might enter this.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: NFX on December 27, 2010, 11:15:25 AM
I'm guessing there's a pool of bot types with different frequencies, a bit like Scrabble tiles, there are more E's than there are M's, for example. Random draw decides who builds what. I might try and build a proper IRL axebot sometime.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 27, 2010, 12:31:01 PM
I basically put all your names in a hat and all the different bot types in another hat and whatever one I draw out you make.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Scorpion on December 27, 2010, 12:43:06 PM
Fair enough If I don't get a spinner design I will have to hunt you down and cut you up though
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 27, 2010, 12:44:42 PM
Fine, I'll give you a flipper.

Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Enigm@ on December 27, 2010, 12:45:08 PM
I'll enter. And that's fine with the hat thing.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Thyrus on December 27, 2010, 12:45:57 PM
What if someone gets a flipper to build and he makes it a Flipper/HS Hybrid?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 27, 2010, 12:47:17 PM
Hmm...

Good question. Yeah, I'll include hybrids on the list as well.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Scorpion on December 27, 2010, 12:48:44 PM
I don't mind flippers as much (as long as you make it an OOTAable arena.
If I get a popup though, I'm calling bull  :p
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Naryar on December 27, 2010, 12:53:49 PM

Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 27, 2010, 12:55:37 PM
Nope, You'll have to wait until I say what you build.

List of bot types you might receive:
Face Spinner
Wammer
Vertical Spinner
Sawbot
Rammer
Poker
Horizontal Spinner
Hammer
Flipper
Clamp
Walker (Double weight limit allowed)
Drum
Multibot
Angled VS
Any 2-bot type Hybrid
Any 3-bot type Hybrid

Post by: Scorpion on December 27, 2010, 12:57:48 PM

Do ya not approve?
I think it's an interesting idea, it'll stretch some people to build bots they may not usually build (I've made popups in the past, so don't use that as an excuse to give me one :P)

One thing though FOTEPX, try to put in the better bot types, otherwise you're liable to get people whining that they had to make a hammer for example.

Edit: Damn, you had to post that list then didn't you ;P
Anyway, major glaring thing, crawlers shouldn't be allowed 2x the weight, you're just gonna get a HW bumblebee against loads of MW which is hardly fair.

*is confuzzled* what's wrong with hammers?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Naryar on December 27, 2010, 01:00:48 PM
Flippers in the combat arena ? LOL

Oh, and crawlers allowed with 200% weight allowance is going to end in blood. 90% of people are going to rant if their bot goes against a HW crawler in the combat arena.

edit: damn scorpion beat me to it
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: FOTEPX on December 27, 2010, 01:01:52 PM
Listen, If you get a bot type you can't build, tough. You'll just have to live with it and try your best, and whining and complaining WILL result in disqualification.

@Naryar I'm planning to use the Ring Arena, and I'm removing crawlers and replacing it with walkers.

They're not very good IMO.
Although I may be biased as the only hammer bot I;ve made sucks a lot  :ermm:

Nobody's made a proper working walker, just have a normal MW crawler only option.

On the multibot thing, can the multibot's weapon be anything?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Resurrected Extreme Discussion
Post by: Naryar on December 27, 2010, 01:04:57 PM
I bet the clamp is going to fail embarrassingly, and the walker probably is going to get immobilized.

Again, I'll decide what weapon the Multibot will have. I'll probably choose Flipper or HS.
