Title: Scrapheap Challenge 2 - Signups Closed
Post by: Philippa on August 06, 2016, 11:31:56 AM
The original Scrapheap Challenge was pitched virtually exactly two years ago. How about that, huh?

(http://martinjohughes.com/otherimages/scrappy.jpg)

RULES
Game - DSL 2.2
Weight - Lightweight
Realistic Rule - DSL Standard
32 entrants, but will extend if there's enough interest. (See battle rules.)
Two entry robots per person per game.
Only in game glitches are allowed - eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
If you can't AI I will do it for you, just don't complain about it if your robot doesn't win. I haven't played RA2 for about 1000 years so I'm a bit rusty with AI stuff now.
You can't enter until I have received and accepted your robot.

BUILDING RULES
Lightweight-down class robots. Anything under 249.0kg. (I won't stop you entering an AW or a BW, but it's your funeral.)
Only in game glitches are allowed -  eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
No external editing at all - BFE, AAM and so on.
Robots with tracks get no weight cushion, as if anyone would use tracks for this.
No scuttlers, crawlers, walkers, or SNS robots.
Multibots are banned.
You can upgrade your robot or send a new one as much as you like until signups end.
Nothing from Cheatbot2, you know that.
You MAY NOT use more than one of the same component on your robot, this includes all batteries, wheels, weapons, everything.
This means that using 2 extenders of the same length IS NOT allowed, but using different lengths IS allowed.

BATTLE RULES
3 minute fights.
Scrapheap Challenge Arena (Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament Arena with a totally boss skin.)
Hazards on.
If a robot havoks then I will restart the match. I will keep restarting until there is a havok-free match. Fights with havoks will not be shown.
Single elimination bracket, head to head, no rumbles or melees.
Judging will be done by points scored during the match, as is custom for Standard tournaments.

I would but 2.1

I have a feeling you won't get many entrants at all cause 2.1, but good luck. Shame, because it's a very cool concept and I feel 2.2 is more suited to this kinda thing.

i'll prob enter anyway

Doesn't the new DSL have a ton of new components?
Title: Re: Scrapheap Challenge 2 - Discussion
Post by: Badger on August 06, 2016, 11:07:18 PM
Not really? I mean it has a couple new ones but mainly they're just armor plates. The main thing is that there are so many more viable components in 2.2, instead of 2.1 where you had maybe 3 choices per category and everyone spammed ants in a tiny tiny chassis.
Title: Re: Scrapheap Challenge 2 - Discussion
Post by: doot on August 07, 2016, 04:43:57 AM
I love the idea of using one and only one of each component in a tournament - Might enter something for this. :3

Post by: R01 on August 07, 2016, 06:55:43 AM
Oh so this was Scrapheap challenge. Thinking about entering but DSL 2.1.... just upgrade it to 2.2 already :P
Also the smaller chassis with the slider trick is not allowed or does that not count as a bug?

counts as an in game glitch and has be a normal part of dsl building for over 7 years now so it's allowed.

Thing is, this is mentioned about in game glitches:
Quote
Only in game glitches are allowed - eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
I'd count it as normal part of the game as well, but better to ask the tournament host before building something like that.

Keeping the 2.1 bit, but I've added a 2.2 thing too. Go nuts.

Signups end tonight, just saying.

Got Wen's bots, and they're provisionally accepted because I've seen them in his showcase. Preferably need two more entries for a 24 bot bracket (like original Scrapheap Challenge, or Battlebots 2015), or 10 (yeahlolno) for a 32 bracket.
