If it's IRL MW and based off Robot Wars then not sure even Flamethrowers should be allowed, as they were never in any of the broadcast episodes.

Can I be a judge if possible?

Jonzu never talked about a judging of some sort, this will be judged the old-fashioned way.

I need to add the judging thing TBH... If you win by points, that's not really fair...

CrazyClown · « **Reply #45 on:** March 21, 2012, 03:16:04 PM »

So lets get this straight....
Stock parts...right?
and IRL plus no mods or any other form of tools?

Might enter this with Golgotha, actually. Just need to sort out the batteries, and it should be good to go.

So, judging will be based on Drive, Damage & Aggression...

...Did I miss anything?

If so, I will gladly be one.

i thought it might of been:
style
control
damage
and aggression?

Celestial Panda · « **Reply #52 on:** March 22, 2012, 02:04:00 PM »

Surely with AI "control" becomes 100%? Though you'd be right on RW judge criteria.

ty4er · « **Reply #53 on:** March 22, 2012, 02:06:07 PM »

mostly damage and aggression, not much control/style is available when it's all ai

i guess you can do control though

NFX · « **Reply #54 on:** March 22, 2012, 02:13:13 PM »

Drive? Is that similar to the Strategy in Battlebots? I seem to remember the Replica Wars 2 match with Herr Gepounden in the rumble, and it just sat on its own spinning uselessly while the other bots fought amongts themselves, then lost a Judges Decision. You couldn't really mark it down for strategy, though, that's just how it had been AI'd. I might go for Style and Control rather than Strategy, because you could reward bots that put on a good show, or actually manage to stay on top, rather than bots who go a bit crazy every so often, but pick up huge amounts of points on several lucky hits.

I want the judging to be like in Robot Wars, except there would be only one judge.

Choose someone who has seen more than 4+ Robot Wars/BattleBots fights so at least they know what there doing. My advice that is.

could i be a judge? i'm fair, know the rules of robot wars, seen every series a few times over. i promise not to let personal feelings cloud my judgement. trust me, my decision making skills ae better than my building skills.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #58 on:** March 23, 2012, 05:52:05 PM »

If this tourney would include judges, I would only take AUs, Veterans or Moderators.
