Robots in Space - Signups Closed
« on: November 16, 2014, 03:00:59 PM »


For those familiar with the mock tournament I made a while back, this will be the same ball game. I'm also considering making this a series if this is popular enough. This also won't have any stupid gimmick like my other complex tournaments that make entering it annoying, so let's hope this goes well.

GENERAL RULES:
- Stock HW
- 24 Entrants
- One entry per person (However, if there isn't enough interest, then I will open secondary signups.)
- If a Bye-bots is needed, then it will be Emergency filling in the empty slots
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot
- You cannot enter unless your bot is received and accepted
- You cannot try to find loopholes in the rules
- If this becomes popular enough to be a series, then the main winner and the rumble winner can enter an extra entry in the next tournament.

BUILDING RULES:
- General stock rules apply
- Heavyweight bots only (399.1 - 800.0 kg)
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, txt file editing, etc.
- AI parts are allowed, including the 140 cm extender
- No cheatbot2 parts at all.
- The only custom components that are allowed are from 090901's and/or Sage's Skin Pack
- Bots must have at least one wheel, but it must show controlled movement
- Multibots are banned
-Interchangeable weapons and forms are allowed, but you MUST PM me what form you want to use in the match. (or it will be randomly selected.)
- Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots are not allowed
- You can update your bot as much as you please until signups end

BATTLE RULES:

- 3 minute length matches
- Starcore AI Arena (Hazards on)
- If a robot havoks once which costs the match, that bot gets a free restart, if it happens again, that bot is disqualified

MATCH RULES:
There will be three different formats for the matches, everything from the battle rules applies here.

Tourney sounds cool but 1v1v1 matches makes me want to enter a SnS
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Fixed a few other mistakes I may have made. Also I was thinking of getting this ready in late December or early January. Is that alright or should I wait a bit longer?

I know I asked this before, but I was thinking that I could get this signups started somewhere around my Christmas break. Any objections to this getting started in about a month?

I know I said I would wait a bit longer, but checking my schedule and the votes, I sent a PM to Craaig to get this in signups.

I know I said I would take a long break before hosting another tournament, but I'm just getting this out there so I can see what people think of this before I officially start in a few months.

This also won't have any stupid gimmick like my other complex tournaments that make entering it annoying, so let's hope this goes well.

Thank you very much Craaig, and now...

Signups are now open for the taking.

They'll close when the completely fill, but if they don't, even with the secondary signups, Emergency will be the bye-bot for the matches.

I'll churn something out for you, or maybe I'll just send something old. You will get something from me though, don't worry.
