Havoks will cause a restart. If a havoc happens 5 times, it will go to a judges decision based on all five matches.
Again, my AI standard means it literally takes 2 minutes per robot and episodes will also be weekly meaning that at most it's 13 bots a week. But you have to factor in that for a lot of fights people won't make changes and a lot of people will use their own AI considering how bad mine is.
I will also make splashes as entries come in to stop it piling up.
My dude, you're setting yourself up for a massive fail here. Trust me, put this on ice for a short while and host a tournament with max. 8 entries first. You want to make this awesome idea reality but you have no idea how much time/effort it will take. There's a reason that it used to be a rule that your first tournament had to be limited to 8 entries.To be honest, while this is a good idea, I have a feeling that there is the max 16 entry rule for first time hosts. In fact, one of the reasons why I hosted Robot Emperor with 16 entries, aside from practicing on hosting and tourney, is that it's because in the rules
I tries to distinguish it from battlebots with the whole last chance tourney thing. Also if I cant get 55 entries I will make entries 3 per person.See that would be fine and dandy if Battlebots didn't have a Last Chance RUMBLE. I thought this was just a stand in because RA2 doesn't allow more than 4 bots.
Nobody really seems to have a problem with it, and ive tested the format by making a practise tournament before so I think it'll be fine. As for all of the things you said in your edit, can you send me a pm for the links to the two mods you mentioned and ill include them in the sign ups. As for chatbot 2 components, i will allow both flat motors, overkill motor and the razor claw motor. All of this will be added in the signups.Well, you can find those components I mentioned on the custom components section of the download page. Also, i forget to mention, but also how about recolored slipperbottom wheels, Geese's NPC fic, improved battery AP, Mr AS rebalance pack, and component reskinning

For component reskins, you just copy paste the component files for them in the appropriate places. Basically, the same way you install new components that you downloadedI tries to distinguish it from battlebots with the whole last chance tourney thing.

Thats a fair point, but overall I don't really see a problem with copying Battlebots considering its the most popular robot fighting show in the world and the format is amazing. Maybe next tournament I do, i may change the format around a little bit.Nobody really seems to have a problem with it, and ive tested the format by making a practise tournament before so I think it'll be fine.

I think ill keep it at the disc covers and the recoloured frenzy hammers, don't really see need for any of the others. However if anybody makes a bot with one of these (par from component reskins, that would be way too hard to keep up with the whole 80kg thing). Ill be happy to download one of them. Besides, im using DSL 2.3 which already has a bunch of these mods in them.
Hey guys, im planing on starting a tournament and I want your opinions on it.
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Rules (Format):
DSL HW IRL
55 bots, battlebots format, two entries per person.
There will be a desperado tournament which opens half way. People can apply and I will accept the ones that I think deserve to be there.
There will also be a final chance tourney(single elimination) where all the unchosen 3-1 bots and 2-2 bots fight to get the 16th seed. If byes are necessary, they will be given to the robots that performed the best. (e.g. 3-1 bot over 2-2 bot)
Component freedom allowed
ObJRA 2 and BFE allowed
No Custom Components
Both Flatmotors, Razer Claw Motor and the Overkill Motor are allowed in regards to CB2.
All IRL packs and coloured bars are allowed.
Before a fight, builders are allowed to adjust 80 kg of their bot to prepare for their next fight. Interchangeable bots can change their modules and then apply this 80kg. Also this 80kg is not necessary and I think the tournament will be most realistic if you don't use this opportunity every time.
Rules(Competition):
Robogames arena
3 minute Matches
Havoks will cause a restart. If a havoc happens 5 times, it will go to a judges decision based on all five matches.
Do you think this is plausible, especially the 80kg modification rule which is something i really want to keep to set this tournament apart from others. I will enter one bot.
Does it matter if I got rid of the "do you think this idea is good" txt
Do you think that you will get more entries? I mean i think that 55 spots are kinda high from someone who never made a tournament beforeTbh yeah. I mean, I think there's few more potential users, like Badger, who don't join because they are unsure if you can finish it probably
