Post by: Thrackerzod on June 17, 2016, 04:53:50 PM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72395TRICYCLE TAKEDOWN.png)

A wild gimmick appears!

RULES:

BUILDING RULES:
-Stock HW (800 kg)
-Bots must have a number of powered wheels that is odd and greater than 1. (I'm expecting mostly 3-wheelers, but hey, 5 wheels, 7 wheels, 203 wheels, whatever floats your boat)
-Multibot rule: each part of the multibot must fit the above rule.  Total number of wheels between the multibots does not matter.
-No SnS because they're lame
-Bots must show controlled movement
-No non-stock components (this includes reskins)
-Flamethrower allowed, other cheatbot components are not allowed
-AI components allowed
-No BFE, AAM, EXP, or whatever other crazy acronym you guys use
-Rule of 7 break allowed; other SergePatcher features are not

OTHER RULES:
-Combat Arena, hazards off (may change on suggestion)
-3 minute matches
-Best of 1, double elimination
-Havok rule: first match-altering havok = restart.  Second match-altering havok = forfeit.
-16 spots (or maybe more if there's a ton of interest)
-I will enter with Sealion Hammersmith (of course):

SIGNUPS:

-Thrackerzod
-RedAce
-battledutchman
-DeadGenocide
-WenXiangLee
-Hi5er
-R1885
-Badger
-Botomatic1000
-Mystic2000
-


Green = AIed
Black = Accepted
Red = Promblem

Deadline is July 11th, 11:59 PM
Countdown to deadline: Signups over!

Looking at the tournament rules thing, I guess I don't need to have a poll anymore, which is good since I can't seem to make one anyway.

I'd like to get this kicked off just as soon as Friendship Rumble awards end; any thoughts on it?

not sure how much interest you'll get for stock 3wheelers, but sounds cool nonetheless

I seriously don't understand why this is happening. Just in case you would like to see interest, like I did with Geice (I think), do you want me to make a poll for you?

Edit: As a work around (and what you should probably be doing, anyway), when making a new tournament and you want an opinion poll with it, click 'New Poll' and not 'New Topic'.

Oh, I guess that makes sense.  Too late now, though.

Yes please, that'd be great.

Y'know, I actually was thinking of making a Stock 3 wheel drive tournament at one point, before Trios of Terror II.  Was hoping someone else would so that I didn't have to make one.

I'll enter.  Debating if I should just use those multibots I used for 09's challenge or make something new.

Eh, if this was DSL MW i'll say ALL ABOARD THE THREE WHEEL TRAIN

but it's stock HW so i don't know to go 3WD or 5WD. this is awkward

Anything I missed?  Any interest?  Obviously, I can't run this until Friendship Rumble awards finish up, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out there.
This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. Have fun, you've got 9 months.

Thanks Yugitom!

Already got a bot from RedAce too, and I haven't even set a deadline yet.  Speaking of which, I guess I ought to set one, so let's go with three weeks from now.

Good luck building!

I'm sorry; if you've sent a bot, I haven't gotten it.

Nah no worries, it was purely verbal at this stage.

As the deadline is the 11th, didn't know if I could reserve a place now?

I don't think I'm going to worry about reserving spots; things are generally slow enough that you should be able to get a place.  And if not, I did manage to get this into the OP:
-16 spots (or maybe more if there's a ton of interest)
So I think that gives me some leeway if it does become an issue.

Unless you meant that the deadline is too soon?

Anyway, glad to hear you're interested in the tournament!  Good luck!

No no, 3 weeks is plenty! I'm sure it will be fine.

It's my first tournament since 2010 and I have 0 wins to my name at this time... Expect big things  :dead:

Got a robot from battledutchman!

Also, I just now realized I didn't address this in the OP: You're allowed to update your robot as many times as you like during the signups period.  Once signups end, you can't update your bot anymore.

Oh right, I guess I forgot to put an AI rule.

If you send an AI I'll use it, but if you don't send one I can just give your bot Omni and call it a day.

Do you need an actual AI file, or can I just send the line of code via pm?

Bots done.

Bit of friendly advice... I'm 38.7 kg's under the weight limit... Best use of that extra weight?

Just drafting up a killer paint job. Wedges are good if they can get under Rabid Pitbull and NGW yeah?  ;)
