When it comes to worn-out memes, nobody serves them better. As this is my very first tournament, I’m in a prime position to get started with a bang by using the meme only I have the true ability to exploit in this fashion – let’s dig SFTW out of its grave and make it truly great again. First of all, I must point out that this is my first tournament to be hosted so if there's rules I'm missing or times where I am blatantly going against community consensus, let me know.
Stock unrealistic
Heavyweight up to 800.0kg
16 entries, single elimination
1 entry per person, although slow entries near the end of the signup period may see this rise to 2
Best of 3 battles
I will be able to AI but this is the first time I’m ever actually going to be doing it for a tournament like this – if your robot does something unbelievably stupid and unusual that a newbie like me simply cannot comprehend I reserve the right to ask you to do it yourself, and of course you’ll make things easier by sending the bindings anyway ( ;) ;) )
Byes filled by the original SFTW
Robots must be built off the original spinner from the west downloadable at https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/LW/wakkydude_Spinner%20from%20the%20west%20(T).bot (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/LW/wakkydude_Spinner%20from%20the%20west%20(T).bot), this means:
- The chassis must be kept the same
- All the original components (except the control board which I'll allow you to move) must be kept in place
- None of the original components actually have to be used usefully or be powered, but they must all still remain there
- You can add anything, of course, and use any kind of weapon you want
- Armor changes are allowed but reasons you'd want to do so are unknown to me, at least
- Effectively you can build anything as long as the original SFTW parts remain
- While obviously, your skin can be done externally, it has to be built on top of the original armour plating that we know all too well and must include some of that original skin underneath. I will be checking.
- Your robot's name has to be linked, in some way, to SFTW. It doesn't necessarily need to be in the same format, any assorted jokes that are related to it will be fine, but keep a clearly visible link there. I'm going to be fairly lenient on this rule as long as it's in the right spirit
Standard in-game glitch rules. Stacking, eFFe, loading allowed, you name it
No outside modifications at all, including BFE, Thyrus, and text editing.
No use of component freedom in any form.
Skinned components are okay but please actually send them to me in the correct format
No crawlers, this is a jank-free zone
Clusterbots are allowed but both must add up to the 800kg limit. If you can actually successfully pull this off and win a fight with it considering that the base robot is over 200kg, I will be impressed. You’ll win your own award.
Fighting will be on Mr AS' new SFTW Arena:

Havoks that KO a robot or otherwise are responsible for ending a fight will be restarted, but if a robot gets three round-ending havoks across the best of 3, it forfeits the fight
Battles are 3 minutes with timeout matches being decided on points
You will be able to upgrade your robot as many times as you want up to 24 hours after I announce I have accepted the last robot.
I will be entering with this (http://i.imgur.com/21d6Grv.png).
You will have one month from the start of signups to get entries in, and you can’t enter until I have accepted your robot.
