Great. Signups start at 1st of May, and closes probably week or two later..

OK, once I get Stock on one of my functional computers I'll build some.

Edited the do-list. Because I might pick all Series 7 semifinalists to Series 8.

I actually may be able to open signups before the weekend! This is going so well at the moment!

Just out of interest (I've already got my entry sorted, hopefully.

), is it one entry per member, or how many will we be able to enter?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #105 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:33:55 AM »

One Entry per member. Also I have Almost everything done. Replicas are finished, only 1 missing. (Waiting for Mr. AS with his WBC)

I was thinking to add two minigames where members can participitate. Like in Series 4, there was Pinball & Sumo... Now I just need to think what minigames would be added to Series 8....

Tabletop vs. a HW House Bot of some kind?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:44:05 AM »

I don't have any Housebots, Sadly...

How about we use EMERGENCY? :P

Also I was thinking that the other minigame would be Soccer game in the Soccer Arena. I remember back in 2010 when I wanted to host RA2 Soccer Tournament, and now I could use it as minigame in RW.

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.

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.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #109 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:55:36 AM »

After some testing, Soccer isn't really good minigame since the bots don't go after the ball... (Of course they wont) ^^'

So, EMERGENCY Sumo & King of The Hill championship. They are the new minigames.

(DP) I think I'm ready. Everything seems to be finished now. Can I get this to Signups?

Uuhh.. I think it would be better if 2 continues.

- Round 1, 16 bots.
- Round 2, 8 bots.
- Final, 4 bots

Sounds good. makes it a few videos more

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #114 on:** April 24, 2012, 11:52:32 AM »

Actually 2. :P

Anyway, I have the Entry List ready...

NFX · « **Reply #115 on:** April 24, 2012, 11:58:00 AM »

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.

My Entry is finished.

It's SO perfect.

- 2 HP Z-Teks
- 2 Blackvolts
- 2 DDT Burst Motors

(Edit)

I also have Heats done... I really want to move this to signups naow.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #118 on:** April 25, 2012, 05:38:42 AM »

(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?

NFX · « **Reply #119 on:** April 25, 2012, 06:05:01 AM »

It's something to do with the .gib, I think. Or you could put them in Starcore if you want to. There's no limit to the number of AI teams you can have, though (that we know of), so there wouldn't be too much bother in having twice as many teams.
