Well folks, my semester ends next week and I'm likely to have quite a bit of free time. I figured I'd do something a little different... A sumo bot tourney!

TOURNAMENT SIGNUP RULES:

I have AI'd before, and will reteach myself before I post signups. Any sort of complex AI for whatever reason is something that YOU will have to come up with. I also highly reccommend that you AI yourself, as I am of little experience when it comes to AI.
Brackets will be determined randomly.
Stock MW for the first tournament. If I do another one later on, it will be DSL.
Realistic Rule: Undecided, discuss please.
Type of bots allowed/disallowed
Multibots are allowed, but they cannot exceed the weight of a single MW when combined. Both parts of the multibot must be eliminated to win.
Tabletop gametype.
Arena will be either the clawtop with hazards on or the flex arena with hazards off... Discuss please.
Time will be set at three minutes.
2 out of 3 matches.
Double elimination if time permits.
All bot work except for skin must be done in the bot lab!
All ingame glitches allowed.
16 Entrants if I there is enough interest.

The catch: No bot is allowed kinetic parts other than its drive! Wheels are the absolute ONLY thing allowed to move on your bot. Also, no components from the "Weapons" tab are allowed! Bursted wedges are allowed, but must remain static.

I remember Duck tried to do one of these a while back. I liked that one, and I like this one. I'll enter.

I already have an idea if it comes to this.. but I need someone to make an special AI for this :)

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #3 on:** April 29, 2011, 11:01:31 AM »

Yay, Stock! I'm going to enter for sure!

My opinion: Have the arena be the Clawtop and don't apply the realistic rule.

Count me in!

(Begins looking at Ploughs and Wedges)

Ok but if its claw top id reccomend hazards OFF.Oh,and make the flame pits eliminated zones as bots cant get back in if they fall in there.

They can, but it's tricky unless you have high ground clearance.

I'd enter if its stock realistic.

Same here- on a side note though, I've noticed your avatar goes really well with the closing theme of Blackadder, series 1. Try it-

This sounds really cool.
Great, now my tourney's not going through. :P
I'm gonna enter.

Scorpion · « **Reply #11 on:** April 29, 2011, 12:06:42 PM »

I think you should have it be unrealistic if you ask me.
And i'll definately enter, already got an idea actually.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 29, 2011, 12:07:51 PM »

Sounds awesome. :3

NFX · « **Reply #13 on:** April 29, 2011, 01:09:27 PM »

I will definitely be entering this. =D

Avalanche · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2011, 01:32:34 PM »

Id still do what i said before because high ground clearance isnt a good thing as it will not have too much room for pushing but will be a flame pit dodger.And those claws are annoying.

...They aren't meant to be your friends. If I used claw top it will be WITH hazards to make it more interesting.

General consensus is liking the stock idea right now, glad to hear that. Still not sure about realism.

Thyrus · « **Reply #16 on:** April 29, 2011, 01:57:27 PM »

I would go with stock realistic. there has been only one till now. Also the Clawtop with hazards on is the better choise.

J · « **Reply #17 on:** April 29, 2011, 02:07:53 PM »

@TC: Clawtop might be better, instead of the Flextop.
Seeing as the bots tend to drive into eachother, regardless of the terrain, they would pretty much drive into the center hole of the flextop :O

NFX · « **Reply #18 on:** April 29, 2011, 02:22:29 PM »

I agree. Realistic Stock with Clawtop sounds awesome. =D

Sounds cool. Ill enter.
