Still, good to know that all three of the next series will be in Stock- I'm better there than I am in DSL (Unless of course you count IRL), so I should be able to compete in all three of the coming series   :approve:

It's Urjak you need to worry about this time. Since his first season championship, GK appears to have dropped in the rankings a little bit. But with my reserved spot, I am hoping to best Squirrel_Monkey's entirely predictable entry. =P
 
Also, madbow's doing reasonably well. 6 matches, 6 losses. At least he's consistent.  :gawe:

I will just need to get too work on the arena skins, release RIWAI(which should be soon, since most of the UI I was working on is finished and then I should be able to start this.

TP. Just to bring this back partially these are the plans for the arenas for the next few seasons.

Division Matches will be in the RA2T2 Arena, Playoff matches will be done in the RAReborn Arena and Semi and Finals will be in the Containment Cube. I will be working on my bot soon so I can put this into signups when I can.

No Stock LW tourney allows them anymore, simply because they are quite good. i mean they are just another bot type that sacrifices speed for weapon weight.
They are by no means invincible, as VB showed in DoD.
Anyway, must rethink my bot.

I don't think you can do either of those in stock. Anyway, 1WD bots are not allowed, stop trying to enter Dark Void 2. I wanted to enter my 1WD HS too, but it's against the rules.

Here, fixed your bindings:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Little Gray Man.zip (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Little Gray Man.zip)
and your bot crashes my game (and possibly GRW's) for some reason, possibly the skinned parts,fix it.
never mind, it's one of those random crashes. I would tell you what's wrong with your bot, but it'll spoil your entry. post it in your Stock showcase.

I took a look through what you "fixed". I see no difference except the removal of spaces that can be found in the stock bindings.

ORLY? xD. based on previous stock LW tournaments anyone who doesn't enter a HS is bound to get wrecked

That's because all the decent builders are idiots and forget to think that treating LW's like HW's is a good idea.
 
It's why you see "I can't work with teh waet" posts.
 
Of course you can. You idiots all skimp on the drive and assume RAD makes the cut, then you go all out with the weaponry or batteries. HS win because everyone makes their bots so slow that they always have time to spin up. Every LW round that is anything verses a HS is like haymaker Vs NOS-BOT or Destiny Vs Mammoth or facemelikeaman Vs Pinball. Stop skimping on drive and start using Redbirds, morons. You lose because they spin up.
 
Apart from that drive rant, here's a quick few tips:
 
Hammers: Improve drive. VS: Improve drive. FS: Improve drive. All 3 types above usually have decent trapping, but RAD isn't enough. if anything, it makes your bot worse as you protect the HS from your weaponry, giving them about 1000 free points because you are slow as heck. Also: If you killed opponents fast enough, battery power isn't a concern. Try just going with a pink or two to save weight for something important.
 
tl;dr HS are the only bot type apart from SNS and popups that have styles and philosophies of building that easily translate from LW to MW to HW, so stop adding moar razors, you absolute morons.

Which were in the stock bindings. Take a look in the bindings of a completely stock install of RA2.

Since this is a Major League tournament, you have a whole year to finish it. It's understandable that people would be taking their time on this. I'll be entering, though, so there are probably some people who are just getting their entries as perfect as they can.
