Author Topic: The Stock Heavyweight Ultimate Showdown (Read 3629 times)

Badnik96 · « **on:** June 13, 2013, 03:08:13 PM »

It's back once again folks. 256 of the world's best Stock Heavyweights are going to fight it out in a single elimination tournament to determine the best of the best.

If you want one of your bots in this, and I don't have it, then put it on the bot exchange and hope it's good enough for the competition. It's gonna be tough to get in this time around, because of the huge amount of new robots that are just amazing (AKA VB and Click's bot packs, plus the ARBBC AI, etc), so the herds will be thinned. A lot.

Hopefully I'll be able to get an entry list up soon. Like I said, I have a ton of bots to sift through.

Have AI packs already been downloaded?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 14, 2013, 01:51:06 AM »

Yes they have. Your chained VS from ARBBC didn't make it, unfortunately.

I've also determined seedings for this tourney based on past performances.

Fair enough, it was worth a punt.

Just throw The Shizzler in, haven't got any of my stock bots on this computer so I can't provide anything new.

Macro Vulcan better win this time...

Since I wasn't around for the first tournament, may I get some more info?
Like, what arenas will be used, hazards on or off, and such?
Also, with what bots I'm presented here, for now? (Insect only ?)
How much new bots I can send and when is the deadline?

The arena is the BBEANS V2 arena (The same one used in BBEANS 5). Hazards are on.
The only bots I have from you are the original Mace in da Face and Insect.
You have a week to put some bots on the exchange for me. I won't take bots sent in PMs due to the the tournament hosting rules.

A wedge favouring arena... Too bad I promised not to enter anywhere with a uber wedgy bot of mine... Anyway.
The only bots I have from you are the original Mace in da Face and Insect.
I plan to enter with : 1st- the unchaged Insect (the ARBBC version you have)(you better test if it fits in the BBEANS arena, so if not, and it's not accepted to have a time to replace it), 2nd- to replace MidF1 with some updated/latest MidF (don't use the BBEANS MidF AI, I made a terrible mistake back then, use a regular HS AI for any version MidF I'll use), and probably try my luck with some new 3rd bot. Is all that OK with the rules?

Also, are there any forbidden bot types, like SnSnSes, Cheap Norrises, Trinity fliers, Crawlers, bots using 140 cm squares or uberstacking, bumple balls and so?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 14, 2013, 01:48:14 PM »

Trinity fliers, Cheap Norris bots and robots without controlled movement are illegal. Everything else is fair game. (Except Hax Mode, etc)

Also, your entries are fine. As long as they make it through the qualifying rounds, they will compete.

Naryar · « **Reply #13 on:** June 14, 2013, 02:11:22 PM »

I suppose you have Pita 8 and Grinding Noise on there ?

If I feel like it I may build another HW.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2013, 02:37:10 PM »

I have PiTA 8, but I don't have Grinding Noise yet...

Badnik96 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 14, 2013, 03:04:29 PM »

I am using Razor's Edge. As long as your bots are on the exchange I'll take them.

edit: Just tested it, Insect fits in the arena.

How is doing this and taking requests any different than people sending you their bots via PM?

Regardless, this tournament goes against the rules of this section.

Quote from: ACAMS on October 26, 2011, 08:45:02 AM

This section is for tournaments that you run, supply all bots and need NO SUPPORT from members.

We will call these Display Tournaments

You can ask for NO HELP, BOTS, or MONEY from the members!

I'm really sorry but I can't let this progress any further. Any rebuttals may be sent to me via PM but rules are rules and its not like they have changed.
