I'd like Robot Wars Virtual or whatever as long as you know exactly what you have in mind for realistic and include it in the rules so we don't get what happened last time.And I completely forgot one rule, which was one of the most important rules... >.> Goddamnit
it will be who can spam the most razors on the lightest chassis.Five

Looking forward to this. not sure wheter to send a art bot or a fighting machine.
Might give this a go. Pity it's not DSL HW though...I find that that's one of the best things for making cool, realistic robots with. More choice in what you can build effectively, too.
i'll try and enter with my newest creation:
desecrator 2
I was going to say the same... :rotflmao:i'll try and enter with my newest creation:

So frightening...
Definitely- DSL IRL is certainly one of my favoured styles for those reasons, particularly in the HW field. Mind you, if it was in fact DSL HW, with a strict emphasis on IRL, I reckon I'd be more relevant to its theme, wouldn't you agree? It's one thing calling it the unofficial Eighth Series of RW, but quite another to have entries that actually look like they could both look good and fight well in real life.Might give this a go. Pity it's not DSL HW though...I find that that's one of the best things for making cool, realistic robots with. More choice in what you can build effectively, too.
yeah DSL HW is pro tier. Not only you can build original, but you can build efficient, and cool, and everything.
it'll probably be rubbish, but i might as well try :P
Sawblades & some other weapons will be balanced... Ninja discs for example.
Wait a minute- if you're using Alphasim's RW Replicas, they'll still probably have all their overpowered parts, which defeats the purpose of having it simply regular stock.It is true. That's why I'll let you guys decide that. I'm rushing TOO much with my tournament, so I should calm down and do more testing.
Definitely- I'd suggest slowing down a little, and being more careful. Although to be honest, if it were up to me, I'd go DSL HW with a strict IRL rule, and have the RW Replicas fill in the gaps in the brackets.Wait a minute- if you're using Alphasim's RW Replicas, they'll still probably have all their overpowered parts, which defeats the purpose of having it simply regular stock.It is true.

It's like entering into Rally competition without testing the car.
Removed the poll... Seemed to be obvious that there won't be Alphasim's RWAI robots... Now I'll do some more testing & does anyone have any rule suggestions?Here's what I would do-
if you want dsl so much then make your own tournament. this is a stock tourney and i think will stay as one.Removed the poll... Seemed to be obvious that there won't be Alphasim's RWAI robots... Now I'll do some more testing & does anyone have any rule suggestions?Here's what I would do-
- DSL Heavyweight, with the IRL rule strictly enforced, like with Blades of Fury or Replica Wars. That way, we'll get designs more in-line with a name like RW Series 8- that both look great and in-line with real designs, and fight realistically. It'll also improve numbers, with far less need for faffing about with advanced building techniques.
- Use the Robot Wars Arena.
- To help with it, also throw in some of the DSL RW Replicas.
- Maybe try setting it out like the RW Heats, depending on how many entrants you get. With a few, you could try the Series 4 format (6 robots per Heat, divided into two First Round Melees), and for more than that, the Series 6/7 format (The same, but with 8 robots per heat).
- A maximum of two Judge/Lifter Motors for flippers, srimechs and things.

I need to add the judging thing TBH... If you win by points, that's not really fair...
So, judging will be based on Drive, Damage & Aggression...
...Did I miss anything?
I want the judging to be like in Robot Wars, except there would be only one judge.
If this tourney would include judges, I would only take AUs, Veterans or Moderators.Sys, MNB, and Naryar :trollface
Oh dog...If this tourney would include judges, I would only take AUs, Veterans or Moderators.Sys, MNB, and Naryar :trollface

MeaCulpa 2 would be Awesome. :gawe:Well, I can't enter it for exactly that reason. Without the bumper and wedges, it wouldn't have a hope.
Though then you need to remove the Razor wall and burst wedges. Unless it's Flipper/Hammer Hybrid
Well, make it Hybrid, replace the Razor tip wall with plow and get better armour. DSA is Forbidden y'knowI just said, I'm not entering it with MC2. I know we both like it, but it just wouldn't fare well with everything completely nerfed. As such, I'm going to enter Golgotha- I designed it for the purpose of Stock Realism.
if someone could help me with these, I would be glad. Also I do have Wheely big Cheese, but it needs a bit Hax Mode stacking... I have to allow Hax mode to wheely big Cheese, because I have no other choice. Who is willing to help me?i can hax mode it on
I could try puttin my hands ob a Beas of Bodmin rep.Uuhh.. I think it would be better if 2 continues.
what about king of the hill as minitournament wit 16 robots in 4 heats and the winners go on to a 4 way final?
Do the rest of the bots act as byebots? Will they go through to Round 2 after beating a GTM'er, or will the have to withdraw as a result of electrical infidelity? 'Cause I'm not certain it'll be as interesting as it would be if all the GTM'ers are defeated quite early on.The Tournament works like RW, If all GTM'ers are defeated early, then they are defeated. Simple as That.
Emergency might be a bit OP for this. But I'd be fine with that if there are no other candidates. I'd say Big Dog, but that's nowhere near OP enough.how about snow job or coal miner
I've always wanted to try that, but I don't know if there's an AI that will make the bots go for the ball, rather than each other. At the moment, it's just a regular arena with a giant ball in the middle.
(DP, I have to)
How did you were able to get 6 bots in each AI team? I will start the AI:ing when I discover that out. So help, please?
I think I can't allow the reskinning, I may not use my component reskin neither.It's because G.K. is never around.
Also I've waited for 2 days and moderators have done nothing. Are they sleeping? ._.
Seriously, no offence, I've just waited and I reeeeally want to get this to Signups ASAP....

PMbomb'd. Just out of interest, what happens in Sumo if you push EMERGENCY off the platform, drive off with it, but because you were underneath EMERGENCY, you hit the ground first?Then you lose...
Right, take me out of Sumo then. Put me in for King Of The Hill.PMbomb'd. Just out of interest, what happens in Sumo if you push EMERGENCY off the platform, drive off with it, but because you were underneath EMERGENCY, you hit the ground first?Then you lose...
Sometimes the problem is that you haven't got the correct .py files. Say, something uses Popup.py, but you don't have Popup.py in your AI folder.Just noticed I'm missing DirectionalSpinner.py, and I changed all into Spinner.py. It still crashes though...
Keep my bot in for the tourney jonzuRoger that.
If this will still happen, you know I'm still in this.Hakurouken is in...
So get entering people!
is there a way to enter another bot into koth? like some bots in RW entered only the pinball thing? If not I`ll enter with the bot I send for the main event
Erm no, You can't enter with 2 different bots...is there a way to enter another bot into koth? like some bots in RW entered only the pinball thing? If not I`ll enter with the bot I send for the main eventO might send a skinned version later
Hmm... There are 2 issues with the Arena...
1. Bots are not afraid the pit, and usually push the opponent AND itself into pit...
2. Filming Rumbles will be hard, due to camera angle...
How the Radius-thing works? You mean AI?
def Tick(self):
# check to see if anyone has been "eliminated" by falling off the tabletop
for each in self.players:
if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -4: <--- this thing
plus.eliminatePlayer(each)
I changed 2 to 4, and now when you drive into pit, you don't even get eliminated... What I'm doing wrong? :Swhich number did you change
The one you quoted.I changed 2 to 4, and now when you drive into pit, you don't even get eliminated... What I'm doing wrong? :Swhich number did you change
you probably set it too "low"... try setting it "higher" (-4 is lower... -2 is higher), try -1 and if that's too "high" (drugs joke xd)... set it "lower" (-1.5 or -1.75)... and keep messing with the number until you find a reasonable heightThe one you quoted.I changed 2 to 4, and now when you drive into pit, you don't even get eliminated... What I'm doing wrong? :Swhich number did you change
-0 is close... Maybe +1?sure go ahead
Lol, all got eliminated when the battle started. Anyway, I got it now. It's +0.25. I want moar entries so I can start this ;3i still need to ai my totally-rule-abusing entry first hold on
Is this having all of the regular Robot Wars awards in it, like best design and the sportsmanship award for example?Yep.

Coolest looking?That would be Best Design, I reckon.
Can we modify bots after we send in?Yes.
Could you simply add it over the soundtrack in whatever you're using to make the videos?I guess...
did you get the update?Yes
what do you mean by *stock*?
I cant use DSL parts?
still thinking if imma join.... :confused:
3 days already???????I just want this to move quickly ;__;
this just opened and you're closing it again???
also I can send you a blank Napalm chassis if you feel like adding another replica :D
i ENTEREDHartza69 is my daddy.
also who the spaghetti are Hartza69 and T_Koistinen ?
EDIT: oh btw can i enter the king of the hill
where to put the bot?Send it for me.
already done
you mean to an email?1. pack your robot into WinRAR or 7zip
sorry cause im a newbie
one more favor.
can you add smartzone to my bot? mine is not working good.
thanks
Sent !Erm... Not in my PM inbox...
I'll just replace the weakest Replicas & RA2 Extra bots (Tailwhip, Spin Bonker etc.) to those new entries..That seems the logical thing to do to me. The replicas, and I know we discussed this earlier, seem similar to byebots in my view. In that they're only there to fill up the remaining places. I think the RA2 entries could be taken out of the main bracket, but perhaps left in the side events. Similar to how Eye Of Newt, Six Pac and Gnasher competed exclusively in either Pinball or Soccer in Series 3.

I'm not the only one who entered a rammer, right? Right?
Wait. Since when was there a Typhoon 3. I've never heard of himIt's Series 8, dude. All you need to do is use a bit imagination. :P

I will be sending the skinned version of my bot later today. Don't make the splash yet!It's pointed out in the rules that each heat will be posted separately.
Well... I don't think mods won't mind if I show Heat A... :PYay!
I'll just let it leak out here~Oh cool. ^^
Maybe you could tell us which bots are GTM bots with different text color or '(GTM)' after the name?To be honest, I don't like the idea. I really love to use the good old Robot Wars Text with it's original colors...

jonzy, i know that it was too late, but i have an entry that i couldn't finish in time. Could you at least see if it could compete in the side events?
it's skinned and ready for ai
actually american/weak replica.jonzy, i know that it was too late, but i have an entry that i couldn't finish in time. Could you at least see if it could compete in the side events?
it's skinned and ready for ai
you can still enter you know, just you will replace a stock bot.
I hope people actually skinned their bots. Be a shame if everyone had used default skinnsOf course we did- we're not Americans :rolleyes:
i just realized that burning your opponent earns points in koth matches even if you're not in the center of the arenaI discovered this about two days ago. I didn't think it was particularly relevant, though. One way of doing it would be to count the dings to figure out a true score for a flamebot, but that might be a bit of a convoluted way of doing it.
That seems fair to me. He might do okay at the sumo, but it's basically cheating in a KOTH match.Agreed.
GF is in.Excellent! What do you think of the name? :approve:
Mr. As changed his entry?Nope... And GF, the name is ok.
Wouldn't it be funny if every gtm member makes a kind of interview describing the own bot?Yeah, it would be awesome!
how do i send my bot ?! :trollface :confused: :embarrStep one: Upload your bot to the bot exchange.
Wouldn't it be funny if every gtm member makes a kind of interview describing the own bot?
Get rid of Mr. AS's bot in the main competition or I will drop out. Flamethrowers are pure hax whether in KoTH or not.
