Post by: DuckRA2 on January 10, 2009, 06:41:05 PM: are you gonna AI it? well you better and btw: caster armour is aloud
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: Naryar 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?)
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 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
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 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

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.

Post by: MetalikVyper 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?
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: Somebody 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.
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on January 11, 2009, 11:45:30 AM: 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?
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: ACAMS 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.

Post by: DuckRA2 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.
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on January 11, 2009, 11:59:58 AM: well hopefully you'll get pushed off or you will push off someone before that happens
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: Naryar on January 11, 2009, 01:02:09 PM: Ramplates have material = metal(.4) into their txt file, so basically you CAN make damage with them.

So the rule could be: you can build any tournament-legal bot you want (poker, pusher, flipper, popup, HS, VS, SnS (dumb)... but not crawlers, piston fliers, nasty pickles, glitch bots...), provided it doesn't have damaging components?
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: man manu on January 11, 2009, 01:02:43 PM: How about a new rule?

If a bot gets destroyed by a ramplate then the match will be restarted. If the same bot gets destroyed 3 times in the same round by the ramplate then the bot with the ramplate will be disqualified from the tourney
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on January 11, 2009, 01:07:07 PM: damn, should I just say no ramplates or any weapons of any sort but flippers are aloud?
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: Scrap Daddy on January 11, 2009, 01:48:11 PM: ill do it i guess.

Maybe just... any bot, but with no damaging weapons (including ramplates)?

Just for more diversity = more fun, because if we have 10 pure pushers...

Post by: R1885 on January 11, 2009, 07:53:41 PM: I think I should redo that. What I should have said was:
"I will join, but not until the rules make sense."
^This better?
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on January 11, 2009, 09:56:12 PM: ok officially no damaging components
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: R1885 on January 12, 2009, 09:46:53 AM: BTW, when are the bots due?
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!

Post by: System32 on January 23, 2009, 07:32:16 PM: I bet if you mentioned weapons they would be piling in.

Post by: Naryar on January 23, 2009, 07:40:08 PM: I'll try to make that damn rupter work...
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: Madiaba on January 30, 2009, 09:35:00 AM: Hey, Duck. How are you doing here?

Try to keep this moving, it's a unique tourney.
If you could clear up your first post with the final set rules, and then set a firm date for bot file and splash entry, then this would help the enrtrants.

If I can help, PM me.
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on January 31, 2009, 02:16:43 PM: I pretty much did clean up the rules, I guess I will have to clean more...

Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: R1885 on February 01, 2009, 05:43:06 PM: Just to ask:
-Why are there hazards
-Why is there a box on the middle
-Why when hazards are off that my bots just fall into the abyss and the match still goes on.
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on February 01, 2009, 05:48:45 PM: oh boy gotta check that out, and the hazards, (spikes?) should I remove them, I guess I should, and the box is part of the arena

Title: SUMO TOURNEY!

Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: DuckRA2 on February 14, 2009, 12:15:26 PM: man if people would just send there bots...
Title: SUMO TOURNEY!
Post by: Somebody on February 14, 2009, 12:18:33 PM: I'll send the splash pic and a new version of my bot. It just has a slight adjustment in the snapper, so no need for new AI.
