MY ENTRY AND SPLASH LAYOUT

There will just be one big splash with everything on it.

This seems like a pretty fun concept. I may not join but I will follow this tournament because I think it'll be pretty cool.

Edit: Also, I just noticed, 12 entrants? You're limiting yourself, mate.

I see you're making fun of Junkyard Wars with the title (That's it's called in America by the way.)

I may enter this, don't know about DSL-S though.

If I made this IRL everything would look like Standard anyway.

Naryar · « **Reply #5 on:** August 07, 2014, 05:54:57 PM »

...DSL-S with every single component being different ? OK, i'm game.

Shell spinners are out... Flail SnS will suck badly... All gut-rippers will be nerfed pretty hard... HS will be probably unbalanced... VS HAHAHAHAHA VERTICAL SPINNERS.

Leaving rammers, wammers, pokers and FS as decent bot types.

The battery rule is kinda harsh though. Other than the obligatory ant battery and battlepack, we must either use them WP836E's (BETTER SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT OK), or the overly large orange batteries. Favoring rammers.

But I suppose that's part of the challenge.

This is a good idea, it completely changes DSL-S habits and only the best will win. We should have more DSL-S challenge tournaments like that !

Also this will look like n00b warz. Making it even more entertaining.

I think getting 12 entries for this is pretty ambitious.

Should I:
A - Knock it down to 8 entries for single/double elimination?
B - Knock it down to 9 entries for a few three-way melees?
C - Persevere and keep it at 12 entries?

Make some horrifically unbalanced jokebots and use them to fill up spaces? :P

Anyone still have COID?

My vote is for C

Badnik96 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 08, 2014, 01:50:14 AM »

No robot is going to drive straight. Ever.

However this looks fun, I'll probably make something.

Shield · « **Reply #10 on:** August 08, 2014, 02:26:58 AM »

So joining this

Natster-104 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 08, 2014, 03:32:39 AM »

I'm probably going to knock something up for this

Not sure if trolling or serious.

Now I feel like making a disc VS just for the hell of it.

Philippa · « **Reply #14 on:** August 08, 2014, 09:40:51 AM »

Okay, my robot is in the first post so now I can get this into signups.

yugitom · « **Reply #15 on:** August 08, 2014, 09:43:38 AM »

Do you remove the background using Microsoft PowerPoint? Because that's what it looks like.
