The Winds of Change Tournament Signups
« on: June 14, 2010, 12:49:44 PM »


We all know how in real life, roboteers have times to change there robots a little bit before a fight, well this tourney will let you do that! Before every round, you will restart the building process with your originally sent bot, or re-optimize the bot that you sent the round before.

Rules:
1. All bots will be DSL HW
2. Realistic Rule applies, and it will be very strict. This includes super stacked weapons (For example, HNM 3.2 would be disallowed because of the weapons stacked so tightly. This will be at my discretion).
3. No BFE (This includes chassis lowering), AAM, ZeroG, secret hax armor, or anything else outside of the bot lab besides skinning
4. No cheatbot2, cheat, or AI parts
5. No Trovaner Chassis Glitch, and No using skirt hinges as armor
6. At time of entry, all bots will have a weight minimum of 675 kgs and a weight limit of 700 kgs.
7. Within one week of when I say to send, every builder in that round will send me an updated version of the original bot, which can weigh up to 800 kgs. If no bot is entered, the builder will use the original. I will not accept bots early, or late.
8. Uses of extra weight: Optimize Wedges, Add/Change Weapons, Add External Armor, or Change Wheels. You are not allowed to use the extra weight for: Adding Motors, or Adding Chassis Armor. You are not allowed to change the Control Board, Change motors (not including Metal Hinge and Skirt Hinges), or Remove Titanium Half-Sheets attached to Baseplate. You are allowed to move the control board and batteries within the chassis.
9. AFTER CHANGES, THE BOT TYPE MUST STAY THE SAME
10. If any bot is not sent by the end of the week, or the builder has not sent a legal bot by the end of the week, the builder will use the original sent bot.
11. You can also choose to use the same bot as a past round, just say so. Although saying in a PM would be better so the opponent doesn't know what you're entering
12. I will film with Fraps, and I can provide AIing sklz, but I would prefer that you AI yourself.
13. The arena will be the BBEANS Tournament Arena V2, hazards on.
14. NO AI WHINING
15. The original bot sent to me must be mobile
16. For simplicity, multibots are not allowed
17. Any entering user must be an active member who has stayed active during their time here. I don't want anyone joining and just leaving.
18. This tournament will follow the BBEANS rules for match restarts and havoks
19. Each fight is a best of 3 matches. 1 vs. 1
20. There will also be a losers bracket.

Well Nary, according to the rules, you must send your uncustomized bot first, and then during the first week, send the finished one. I can hurry the proceedings though. All I can do with the original bots is make a splash, so it should not take too long. And it is within the rules to technically enter the same bot each week...

@Groudon and Freeziez: Thank you for your entries.

An Update of the bots.

To Freeziez: Your bot is not approved. It is immobile. See Rule 15.

To GroudonRobotWars: Your bot is approved. Welcome to The Winds of Change, and thank you for entering!
