I do hate it when people want to disregard all due process just because something suits them.

I'd be very interested in watching robot boxing matches, and possibly entering into a boxing tournament, but Badger is right, you can't enter personal tournaments. If this was reworked as a full tournament id be all for it, though.

Who was the guy who was going to run a boxing tournament many years ago? He had extra rules like having to have a head that could get knocked off (For a KO) and the robot having to be taller than a barrel in the workshop.

Rob, IF you make this a real tourney, are there limits to how many hands your guy can have?

Well firstly this is an ongoing, running thing with repeated exhibition matches so a regular tournament system doesn't work, and it doesn't count as a contest. Display tournaments were built for things like this, and it doesn't hurt anyone if it is here. No reason to be "but muh tournament rules" in this case.

From the rules:

You may use any freely available robots in AI packs or on the Robot Exchange with explicit permission of the builder.


This is fully within the rules  ; -D

The front page has been cleaned up, including... ROSTER pictures! 8 boxers have been added to the front page, and will feature in the pilot episode!

Want to join in? Well... maybe you can  ;)

These boxers also provide excellent examples of how to build one for this tournament, and also show a different style of boxer that you can create. Let's do this, guys!


Thank you to all that have provided a boxer, thus far!


Edits:

Weights of the classes have been altered to be less confusing.

A 9th and special guest boxer has entered... from the darkness of the swamp.

*Card subject to change



Still want in? Now's your chance! Much like how it always is your chance! This card for the pilot is not finalised, and will probably be a later date than advertised. Get building, and let's get ready to cucumble!

Ladies, and other ladies, in the room. May I have your attention, please.

Rock 'em Sock 'em Bocx 'em is proud to announce the signing of our first SHW.

We have no doubt that it will decimate, annihilate, replicate, in the ring. Stay tuned for more on our heaviest competitor!

As soon as I make the post, I receive two new signed boxers, ready for a rumble!

The roster is filling up now, and is looking really nice, and delicious!



I forgot to mention in the rules, so I'll say it here:

You're allowed to edit your boxer at any moment, along with sending in an unlimited amount of any weight class!

Don't say that! We have to wait a see if Rob actually posts the first match in the next 24-48 hours, before deciding this was a waste of time.
