some ideas for someone to pick from
« on: July 21, 2010, 09:01:59 PM »
I have a few ideas for some tourneys. Since I can't really host cuz i can't AI decently yet, I'll post them here and hope someone uses the ideas. I would also like to compete in them, so I figured it would be best to let a/some reputable hosts host them, if they want to. If I ever come up with more, I'll edit this post and add them on.

Ultimate Robot Build Off
You must make a required type of bot using only the allowed parts, some can be limited as to how many, and some may not be used at all. Each competition would equal so many points, and at the end of all the competitions, the tourney winner would would then have the most points. OR another way to do it is each bracket has to make the certain kind of robot, and the winner there moves on, where they will have to make another different type, until only 1 person is left.

North vs South (or some other name)
Everyone who enters either goes on the "North" or "South" team. Then, each person builds a bot. 1 "North" bot and 1 "South" bot (or 2 bots in a team match, 2 north and 2 south) compete against each other. Which ever team has the most bots left standing is the winning team.

Here Is Some More

Demolition Derby
Must make a rammer that uses a Power Steering Unit For Turning. All Bots compete against each other in a 4 bot bash. Each person then receives points for which position they come in, and at the end, one everyone has faced everyone at least once, the winner would be who ever accumulated the most points. Since this would mostly be AI based, it would be best if everyone who entered also do there own AI, which brings me to my next idea

AI tourney
Each person is given the same bot (or pick form some random bots, that using a standard AI for that type would make it a very challenging fight against another), and they must AI it the way they want to, so the AI is better. This could be done like the Ultimate Robot Build Off, just the bot is already provided for them to AI. Obviously, people who don't know how to AI would either have to learn so they enter, or don't enter at all.

There are WAY too many tournaments running now.......I don't think we need somebody that can't AI, or run a tournament trying to get another started.
It will be a LONG time before signups reopen, so you can discuss all you want!
 
What you need to do is join tournaments in signups, and help them finish so we can get new ones going later!
