Added a poll to vote for the arena.

FYI, the RA2T#2 Arena and the DSL Tournament Arena are just the same arena but with a different skin, and they're not very balanced as bots can and will get stuck under the corner spikes/saws.

Reier · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2016, 06:57:24 PM »

DSL arena is way bigger than ra2t2

yugitom · « **Reply #23 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:01:03 PM »

Yeah, I swear the DSL Arena is longer (more rectangular.)

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #24 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:27:52 PM »

It's still really unbalanced though.

ring arena is just as bad if not worse with bots just pushing each other around the edge of the arena

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #26 on:** April 14, 2016, 10:56:38 PM »

clearly the solution is to use the flextop

doesn't that help pushers and rammers ?

How would you guys feel about allowing bots that bypass the rule of 7 by using serge's .exe? I think it would make the tournament a lot more interesting.

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 02, 2016, 01:12:43 PM »

that could be fun, i mean, the realisitic rule already prevents quite a lot of OP stuff that could be made without rule of seven, so it should not be causing too much trouble

Mr. AS · « **Reply #30 on:** May 02, 2016, 01:52:06 PM »

I can't see a whole lot of robots (middleweights no less) actually having a use for the anti-RO7 patch due to ironforge being so easy to build in, but it mite b cool.

The Red Blur · « **Reply #31 on:** May 06, 2016, 03:21:05 AM »

I think it's good. Might help against those less adept at building.

Although this topic has only recently become inactive and locked, Badger has given the 'okay' to anyone wishing to take this tournament over. If you wish to take on this idea, you needn't contact me or Badger, simply make a new thread about it.

Alrighty boys we're doing a reboot
-Arena changed to Vaporzone
-SnS banned
-Added poll for bracket type

F1Krazy · « **Reply #34 on:** November 23, 2016, 12:35:13 AM »

Sounds like fun, I'd give this a go :D

trying to find something not awful

Same. This is harder than it looks (especially since I can't seem to build MWs in Ironforge to save my life :P )
