are you gonna AI it? well you better and btw: caster armour is aloud

Naryar · « **Reply #4 on:** January 10, 2009, 06:42:48 PM »

YAY ! I'm in !

Anything in the extras - are ramplates (technically damaging components) allowed?
Also, nasty pickles, bumble balls, piston fliers, etc... are forbidden (Who would be dumb enough to use a crawler in a sumo contest also??)

EDIT: Caster armor would be pretty much pointless with no weapons.

EDIT2: By no weapons, you mean no active burst motors (flippers?)

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 10, 2009, 06:44:10 PM »

ramplates are aloud yes, becuase you can do damage with you chasis and putting a ramplate is about the same thing

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 10, 2009, 07:01:22 PM »

there are flippers.
and about caster armor, some people would fall for that!
BTW: Naryar did you get the arena - the one you really wanted

I'll give this a go.

Another half cocked tournament.......

2 no weapons, but anything in the extras is aloud (no cheatparts either) so flippers and pistons with ramplates or whatever are aloud

Pistons with ram plates ARE weapons and do damage.....and it is allowed, not aloud

The rules need a lot of work.

I'm in.

MetalikVyper · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2009, 02:07:55 AM »

i guess i'll enter whilst there's still a spot avaiable. :)

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2009, 02:12:32 AM »

I will enter!

MetalikVyper · « **Reply #12 on:** January 11, 2009, 04:47:29 AM »

what do we do with the splash once we've made it? do we post it here or PM it to you?

Somebody · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:59:39 AM »

I think that the splash is on DUCK's to-do list, you just worry about building your bot.

I am sure he wants to know WHAT TO DO....since the damn rules are not clear!

HE DOES NOT SAY A DAMN THING ABOUT THE BOT FILE

This tournement will most likely be deleted unless proper rules are posted very soon.

dude calm down, if you haven't noticed, a regular chasis can do damage. and if you have a something like a plow on the piston you are able to push the player. The piont is to get them out of the sumo square. So pushing or flipping would help. I kind of doubt a bot will get destroyed by a ram plate, it will get it eliminated though by pushing the piston and getting them off the square

Does it make any sense yet?

ACAMS · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2009, 11:51:11 AM »

It made sense to start with.....you still need rules. If you need help making the rules ask somebody to help, but get some proper rules up.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2009, 11:52:38 AM »

oh like match time and... ok I will

i've been destroyed by ramplates before. against EMERGENCY, back in the old days. i still do occasionally when i try to fight it with lightweights and beetleweights.

well hopefully you'll get pushed off or you will push off someone before that happens
