RODE Tribute Tournament
« on: April 16, 2009, 03:44:53 AM »
NEW: The final is up on the website!

Hi guys and welcome to the thread for the official RODE Tribute Tournament.
As you've probably read in the Robot Rampage thread Dragonfire has left us:( so i have decided to host a tournament in his honour and for all he has done for us here at gametechmods.com


Layout:

This tournament will be stock Middleweights (as that is DF's favourite weight class in stock), it will be a straight forward battle with 2 rumbles to start with all the entries fighting. The winners of the rumbles will then fight each other in the final brawl and the winner of the final round will recive a special award from DragonFire himself.


Rules:

Stock M/W's as i said

1. Stacking is allowed

2. No cheatbot2 but you can have AI parts

3. No skinning (my RA2 doesent agree with them)

4. Glitching is allowed (if a havoc explosion decides how the match ends there will be 1 re-match)

5. You will have to AI your own bot.

The tournament will take place in the DSL BLadeArena


As you can guess from the bracket i need 16 combatants:
1 - R0B0SH4RK
2 - Somebody
3 - 40757
4 - Pwnator
5 - Scrap Daddy
6 - Roboman2444
7 - JoeBlo
8 - Jack Daniels

(Your name will apear once your entry is AIed)

Send entries to: darkviper22(dont_type_this_or_the_brackets)@gmail.com

(Send the bot file with the bots name e.g. example.bot and the bindings, and don't forget to include your forum name, thank you.)

The brackets, entries and other additional information can be found on the New official RODE Tournament site:
http://RODETournament.yolasite.com

Good luck to everyone entries due in by 16 May so get building!

Any one got any suggestion for a free 'out of the hat' program to choose the entries in the rumbles?
I blame physics.

5. You will have to AI your own bot.
This stops me to enter...

The tournament will take place in the DSL BLadeArena
Hmmm...


Otherwise, is basicly a generic good tournament...

Venko: You can't AI ??

________

What the heck is that skin rule ?

That's not because you can't import ("put on") a skin on your bot that you can't use already skinned bots !

Also i like the DSL blade arena.

I'll enter... but i need a day or two to make a bot... Dang, I really don't want to be like everyone else and enter a HS.  I would rather make something else, lose and be original.

Good luck working on the tourney.

When you say "no skinning" does that include botlab paint as well?
