About time I made this thread, but I've had some things to do. First, trying to get a game to work. Second, Organising the Q store for cadets ( I just became the Q master) and third, Organising fund-raising for cadet activities ( like jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane ) but, here it is:
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. Both parts must be between 350 to 400 kgs
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.
15. Arena hazards on

Different colour combinations can be made on request. Also, I am trying to get the white spaces transparent.

Arena skin:
Sign-ups:
Name will be Black when bot is approved, green when it is AI'ed. Name will not actually appear on the list until the bot is approved. I will send you a PM if there is a problem with the bot. First in, best dressed. No dead-line for now.
