Title: Robot Wars Series 9
Post by: Badnik96 on October 13, 2013, 10:01:42 AM
ROBOT WARS SERIES 9 (Stock)


Before anyone asks, yes Jonzu did give me permission to run this. Basically, I didn't like that Series 9 was being run in DSL instead of Stock (IMO, it being run in Stock was part of the fun), so I'm going to do Series 9 in Stock. Because I can.


RULES
1) Stock IRL MW (250-399 kg). In-game glitches are allowed as long as the robot remains IRL.
1.5) I will allow burst enhancing spin motors.
2) Clusterbots are illegal, but you can make a robot with interchangeable weapons.
3) Cheatbot2 and custom parts are not allowed. The 140 cm extender, however, is legal.
4) BFE, AAM, Hax Mode, ZeroG, the Thyrus Glitch, etc is illegal.
5) Popups, jugglers, crawlers and other unrealistic bot designs are not allowed.
6) Burst wedges are not allowed unless your robot uses them as a flipping device.
7) Like Jonzu, I will be banning any robot with a dumb name (for example, Mr Taco in 3D). Try to name it something someone IRL would use.
8) No more than eight MOVING weapons on any robot. Maces and iron spikes are restricted to six each. Static weapons do not have this restriction, but please try to use a realistic number of ramming spikes.
9) Walkerbots get a 100 kg weight bonus.


10) Battles are 3 minutes long in Wham's modded Robot Wars arena (lower walls than Lu-tze's, more realistic hazards, etc)
11) 16 heats, each with 8 robots in them. First round melees each have four robots in them, and two robots advance from them. From there it's a single elimination bracket to see who wins the heat.
12) I am judging this tournament in case a fight lasts 3 minutes. I will be judging on Style, Control, Damage and Aggression.
13) 128 robots in total will be in this competition. This includes the 16 seeded robots from Series 8, your entries, plus the replica byebots.
14) Once your bot is entered, it can be updated until the SBV thread is posted.
15) Any robot that makes the Semi-Finals gets seeded for the Tenth Wars. In a similar fashion, the five GTM builders that made the semis will have reserved spots.
16) If I get more than 32 entries, I will start swapping replicas out for GTM entries.


Special Note: I will be inspecting every entry I get to make SURE it is absolutely IRL realistic. I will be banning anything similar to Search & Destroy or Battle Scar S (despite them not making the semis, they bent the rules WAY too much).

Special Note 2: If you entered Series 8, it's recommended you enter either the same robot you used for that, or an upgraded version of it. However, you don't necessarily have to.

Special Note 3: I have removed the blade's normals for this tournament, so they actually do damage. However, the larger blades have been nerfed a bit, since they do a little too much damage.


Special Events:
Each heat will have a special event in between Rounds 1 and 2.
If you want to enter a special event (bar the War of the Weapons and International Inferno, which will be arranged by me after signups end), simply tell me and I'll throw you in.





My entry will of course be the reigning champion, Mr. Brownstone.

4)Lennox (Mazakari)

7)Catterpie (Camaro Kid)
8)Mr. Twister (Scrapyard24c)
9)THX-1138 (Natef)
10)Wolf (senstro)
11)Scarecrow (That Robot Is A Spy!)

Are you saying that, so long as it seems irl (moving parts don't intersect components or anything), we could build practically the entire robot off of a snapper?

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 9 - Stock!
Post by: helloface on October 13, 2013, 01:34:23 PM
Another thought, you should buff square extenders and maybe armour to balance out DSA (or just ban DSA).

Mr. Taco doesn't sound too bad. What I mean with annoying/dumb names are Sparkey's "AAAHHhhhhhhhh!! COME ON!!" And your "Spiiiiiiiral" :P

Anyway, Rules seem to look good otherwise. Hoping to see most of the replicas from S8. Chaos 2, Razer etc.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 9 - Stock!
Post by: Badnik96 on October 13, 2013, 06:43:52 PM
I wasn't going to do Chaos 2, mainly because it's near-impossible to do in Stock and it should have retired back in Extreme 2 XD

Razer will eventually get made, as will a bunch of others not on the list.

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 9 - Stock!
Post by: helloface on October 13, 2013, 07:22:37 PM
You should also make Merlin, since he failed to qualify in S7. I could make it if you're to lazy to.

I believe George Francis was planning on doing one...

Title: Re: Robot Wars Series 9 - Stock!
Post by: Merrick on October 13, 2013, 07:48:36 PM
Maybe it might be worth looking into the robots that competed after Robot Wars finished as well.

For example, upgraded versions of robots like Kronic The Wedgehog, Iron Awe (3, I believe in 2005?) and Gravity competed in years that would probably coincide with any 'Series 9' that might have happened. Perhaps Merlin could considered, and at this point, Judge Shred 4 (http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Judge_Shred?file=JudgeShred4.jpg (http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Judge_Shred?file=JudgeShred4.jpg)) would have been fighting, not 3.

Also there was a Cassius III and Dominator 3. I could try and dig up a picture of them, if you would like.

You either enter with your old bot, or update it, or replace it with a new one.

What's with the tournament name change, btw? If we talk about Series 9, it can be either stock or DSL.

Plus, don't change armor values & Ban the DSA. I did so back in S8.

ROBOT WARS SERIES 9 (Stock)


Before anyone asks, yes Jonzu did give me permission to run this. Basically, I didn't like that Series 9 was being run in DSL instead of Stock (IMO, it being run in Stock was part of the fun), so I'm going to do Series 9 in Stock. Because I can.


RULES
1) Stock IRL MW (250-399 kg). In-game glitches are allowed as long as the robot remains IRL.
1.5) I will allow burst enhancing spin motors.
2) Clusterbots are illegal, but you can make a robot with interchangeable weapons.
3) Cheatbot2 and custom parts are not allowed. The 140 cm extender, however, is legal.
4) BFE, AAM, Hax Mode, ZeroG, the Thyrus Glitch, etc is illegal.
5) Popups, jugglers, crawlers and other unrealistic bot designs are not allowed.
6) Burst wedges are not allowed unless your robot uses them as a flipping device.
7) Like Jonzu, I will be banning any robot with a dumb name (for example, Mr Taco in 3D). Try to name it something someone IRL would use.
8) No more than eight MOVING weapons on any robot. Maces and iron spikes are restricted to six each. Static weapons do not have this restriction, but please try to use a realistic number of ramming spikes.
9) Walkerbots get a 100 kg weight bonus.


10) Battles are 3 minutes long in Wham's modded Robot Wars arena (lower walls than Lu-tze's, more realistic hazards, etc)
11) 16 heats, each with 8 robots in them. First round melees each have four robots in them, and two robots advance from them. From there it's a single elimination bracket to see who wins the heat.
12) I am judging this tournament in case a fight lasts 3 minutes. I will be judging on Style, Control, Damage and Aggression.
13) 128 robots in total will be in this competition. This includes the 16 seeded robots from Series 8, your entries, plus the replica byebots.
14) Once your bot is entered, it can be updated until the SBV thread is posted.
15) Any robot that makes the Semi-Finals gets seeded for the Tenth Wars. In a similar fashion, the five GTM builders that made the semis will have reserved spots.
16) If I get more than 32 entries, I will start swapping replicas out for GTM entries.


Special Note: I will be inspecting every entry I get to make SURE it is absolutely IRL realistic. I will be banning anything similar to Search & Destroy or Battle Scar S (despite them not making the semis, they bent the rules WAY too much).

Special Note 2: If you entered Series 8, it's recommended you enter either the same robot you used for that, or an upgraded version of it. However, you don't necessarily have to.

Special Note 3: I have removed the blade's normals for this tournament, so they actually do damage. However, the larger blades have been nerfed a bit, since they do a little too much damage.


Special Events:
Each heat will have a special event in between Rounds 1 and 2.
If you want to enter a special event (bar the War of the Weapons and International Inferno, which will be arranged by me after signups end), simply tell me and I'll throw you in.





My entry will of course be the reigning champion, Mr. Brownstone.

Considering I'm the fifth seed it'll be appropriate to enter but want to ask a few questions:

1. What's the limit on the number of interchangeable weapons?
2. Is DSA still allowed?
3. Are you putting the heats in the tradtional RW way (Heat A has champion while Heat P has runner-up)
4. Is battery stacking allowed?

I may as well send a vaguely edited mediocre bot.

Everyone in so far except for Senstro has been accepted and AIed. 17 spots remain, a week and  half left before we go into overtime!

Hey there. Here's a quick guide to entering:
1) Export your entry from RA2 (In Team HQ you can choose 'Export bot')
2) Go to the Robot Designs folder in your RA2 directory - your exported bot will be there.
From here you have 2 options.
Method 1) Put your .bot file into a .Zip or .Rar, upload it to the GTM File Host on the front page, and then send the link given to you to the tournament host via Personal Message.
Method 2) Go to the GTM 'Bot Exchange' and upload your entry to the relevant section. You can then send a message to the host telling them where your entry is and what it's called, or better still send them a link to it.

While I like your robot, it is unfortunately not IRL realistic. If you got rid of the side hammers and moved the VS further forward I would accept it.

Nice bot for standard Stock, though.

At this point, in 3 days I'll be filling up the rest of the entry list with robots that were entered into Series 8 whose builders didn't enter Series 9 for whatever reason, as well as one or two extra replicas. Just an FYI.

Just sayin that I personally think that two weeks is too much. IMO I think you should extend it one more week.

You're not gonna fill up this signups list. Just 1 week so you can recieve nothing. Everyone who wanted to enter probably already has by this point.

Thats not really how it works, I'm afraid. You have to send Badnik the robot itself before he will put you on the signups list. He needs the robot before the tournament starts, so he can AI it etc.
