Anyway, here is a new tourney idea that I have had in my head for a while now. Basically, the idea is to take a stock bot from the original game ( AI, bonus or rookie) and turn it into a killer HW.

Rules:
1. This will be Stock HW
2. All fighting will be done in a reskinned Parking lot.
3. Only the parts that came with the game can be used. No custom components or cheat bot 2 parts can be used. Reskinned parts are ok. AI parts are allowed too.
4. Your bot must be made completely in the bot lab. No AAM or bot file editing. However, if you decide to use Ronin, you may keep those HP-zteks on, as long as they are in the same spot
5. Your bot must have at least 2 wheels and show controlled movement. Disc with weapons on them used for drive don’t count
6. No nasty pickles glitches, trinity glitches but all other are allowed
7. Multi bots are allowed but only 2 bots. They will fight under a team and the multi bot is defeated when both parts are destroyed
8. It will best 2 out of 3 matches. If the one bot wins twice in a row in the round the 3rd match will not be needed to be filmed
9. If A bot havoks, that bot will get a restart. However, Only 1 restart even If the bot havoks multiple times. If the havok turns into the favour of the havoking bot ( IE it wins the match ) that bot will get DQed and the other bot will win by default.
10. The original shape of the chassis, and the armour, must be the same. You can use ANY original stock bot (AI, Bonus or rookies). Reskinning the chassis is permitted
11. Contestants should have the v1.3 patch for best results.
12. Realism all the way. Just like it is in DSL, but in stock. Spinning blade passing through empty chassis OK. Passing through batt? No. Chaining motors is allowed, but only if their not in each other.
13. Same bot type as the bot you chose. EG, wide load, poker, you must use a poker. However, a weaponless wedge can be made into a wedged rammer. Weaponed flipper can become a true pop up ( if you can make it). thwacker can become a sns. anything else I missed?
14. I can AI but if you would prefer it you can AI your bot yourself. Custom PYs are allowed, as long as they don't cheatly enhance a bots performance, and you must send me them with the bot. If you can AI, don't worry about it as I can AI for you. O, and no, I don't have the Pop-up AI from the BBeans pack.
Bracket:

Loser Bracket:

You only get into the loser bracket if you lose in the first round. Also, the winner of the loser’s bracket will not battle the winner of the winners bracket for grand champion, the winner of the winners bracket will be grand champion.

Prizes:
Some nice decals of different colours for you.
First, the Winner of the winners bracket will get the Gold decal:

Plus 6 other decals of his/her choice ( except the silver one )

Runner up of the winners bracket and winner of the loser bracket will get the silver decal:

Plus 3 other decals of his/her choice ( except the gold one )

Here are the other decals:

Different colour combinations can be made on request. Also, I am trying to get the white spaces transparent.
Award Winners ( eg best looking bot) will get to choose 1 decal for each award ( except the gold and silver ones)

Arena skin:

Nothing really changed, just put the decals and the logo in :P
Anyone likey?

Yes ! I like the idea ! And even more rule #5 !

But still:

- Should we keep the same bot type ?
- Can we reskin ?

Doomkiller · « **Reply #2 on:** January 22, 2010, 04:51:56 AM »

I did think of doing that, but then who would choose bots like lil dog? Kinda think id would be better for more choice in bots, not just going for the one that has more potetial as a type.

Edit: Yeah, you can reskin the chassis

Pwnator · « **Reply #3 on:** January 22, 2010, 04:58:15 AM »

Should the bots be realistic, like the old ones?

Doomkiller · « **Reply #4 on:** January 22, 2010, 05:00:17 AM »

Hmmmm, good question, but IDK.

Whata you guys want?

Pwnator · « **Reply #5 on:** January 22, 2010, 05:01:44 AM »

Either one works, but having the realistic rule enforced can slightly limit designs, but it's much more fun. :D

I have been chatting with doom about this so believe him when he says he had the idea for a while :P

we originally were going to host it together but then I decided since I had a busy 2010 coming up I should get on to CC3 while I can

Stagfish · « **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2010, 10:57:23 AM »

hmm ive made my bot already

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2010, 11:31:19 AM »

Oho, this looks like an interesting prospect!

Maybe I'll refine Coal Miner or something.

G.K. · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2010, 11:32:43 AM »

do we have to maintain a similar weapon system to the original?

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2010, 03:17:16 PM »

I would be interested in joining as well. This could be pretty challenging depending on the rules that you write up.
