Well, in tournaments it's always unfair. There are always awesome bots and SFTW's.

Plus, if there are especially "strong" teams (veteran-only teams), it would motivate the less-experienced teams to stand up to the challenge and give their best, no?

I would think that overall it would be more fair if the teams were random, but if the majority of you guys want to pick then I could change it.

I agree with Reier, as an all Vet team would (probably) demolish an all newbie team. So mixing them would be alot more fair.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Unless the Vet team underestimate the newbie team...

Hope we get enough, I didn't think that 24 was too large of a number.

I'm not entering, but in my opinion getting to choose the teams is much better than random.

Its actually 10 more, but  if we do get 2 more I think that we could just start with 8 teams of 2. Then I would say you can choose teammates, and there would only be LW and HW bots. I doubt that we'll reach 24, and it would be nice to start the bot building period.

I'd rather that there wasn't any.

:P Forgot to add myself to the list. Only 1 more spot open...

Anybody else? Theres gotta be one more person willing to enter. I don't want to start this too late because I have a long break from work for awhile but if this stretches on too long I will be pressed for time. If you want you can choose your teammate and decide who will be building what type of bot (LW,HW). I only need to know the teams, I don't care who is building what bot as long as I recieve them from you (send them to andrewm0304@nospamyahoo.com, just delete nospam)

So we're picking partners now? Darn! Time for us noobs to get pwned. Also I need a partner, hmm as I have the pick of the whole community because I'm so popular around here It may take a while to decide...

(Just got electricity...)
I have some bots that I can enter, Andrew...
Input is appreciated. :)
-Arrogance is a quantity devoid of quality...
-As a client once told me "This is my story, and it's sticking to me!"
-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...

Alright I guess that means we have enough people. :D

The teams could still be random but for now you can choose yourselves if you want. Please choose teams as quickly as possible and announce them here, you can talk about it in this thread or via PM I don't really care. From the point that all the teams are decided you will have 3 weeks to build bots (more if required or less if they all get in before 3 weeks is up). Just send them to my e-mail above.
