"- Judge bursts are allowed"

dude what the f
You really shouldn't allow Judge bursts because someone will make a judge burst popup, and plus you said cheatbot2 parts aren't allowed and the judge burst is a totally overpowered burst motor (makes every other burst totally useless).

Actually, I just remembered the arena that he's using. Yeah, flippers, popus, etc. will be OP as hell with judge bursts. Please don't allow them, freeziez.

Freeziez tries to make a successful tournament, take 3.

(Image removed from quote.)

The theme of this tournament is a Video Game Showdown. Each bot must be themed just like a video game (no limitation to how obscure/ridiculous of a game, as long as it is a real video game). People may have 2 bots of the same game, however, they must be different aspects of the game. If two bots are too similar, I will not ask you to rebuild, just re-theme.

YOU CANNOT PICK RA2 OR ANOTHER ROBOT BUILDING/FIGHTING GAME AS YOUR THEME.

Rules:

- Standard DSL MW
- Reskinned DSL Tournament Arena (it's not too bad, I promise)
- 3 minute matches
- No NARmour (if this is still a thing)
- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- BFE, AAM, NCR, Thyrus glitches NOT allowed
- No hax mode
- Cannot use DSA
- Bots with treads get a 60 kg weight cushion.
- Judge bursts are not allowed
- No multibots
- No armor attached directly to the chassis of the robot
- Cheatbot2 components are not allowed
- Each bot must have at least 2 wheels

Bracket style:

The first stage of the tournament will be a 16-person round robin, split into 4 groups of four. The top 2 robots from each group will then move on to a double-elimination knockout round of 8. Any tiebreakers will be settled with a single 1-on-1 match. Grand final will be best of 3.

Feel free to discuss!

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. As this is a Major League tournament, you have 1 year to complete.

Signups officially open!

RFS · « **Reply #49 on:** July 06, 2014, 08:49:09 PM »

I was really hoping I'd have use for my RA1 jokebot finally but no.

Oh well. I'll think of something obscure and/or potentially offensive to submit.

So can my bot just be "Mario" or does it have to be "Mario's Spin Jump Attack From Super Mario Galaxy 2"?

I don't have RA2 on my computer at work so I haven't yet made anything for this. Still thinking up an idea.

That makes two of us.

Made a good bot. Better than my others. Hoping for at least 4th Place.

Tetris-T is ready for battle.

MKB and STC accepted.

Too bad Havok glitching will result in a DQ. My bright idea was to make some Skate 3 robots that break immediately.

Also, how long will signups be open? I will be busy all of next week and may not be able to construct anything.

considering the lack of entries, I don't know. 3-4 weeks maybe, maybe longer.
