WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER - SIGNUPS CLOSED

[RedAce]

I'm going for Ironforge.  Mainly because there hasn't been much for that lately.  Also, 2.2's metagame is just broken as hell, and IRL means I have to take the tournament seriously.

[Baconus_Yum]

Lets just do Iron Forge, not IRL.

And completely ignore the opinion poll?

Something I have noticed about ironforge:

DSL makes everything heavy.

Ironforge Makes everything light.

Something I have noticed about ironforge:

DSL makes everything heavy.

Ironforge Makes everything light.

Ironforge has self enforced weight limits that are half that or normal building so all the parts weights are halved

Ok.  I assume that the weight classes are still 0-250, 250-400, 400-600, and 600-800?

[Badger]

for IF they're halved, it says what the new weightclasses are when you launch the game. I know LW is 125, MW is 200, CW is 300 and HW is 400. idk about BW and AW, i think they're still halved.

No.
LW is up to 125kg
MW is up to 200kg
CW is up to 300kg
HW is up to 400kg

Ooooooooh.
Gonna have to redesign a bit then.

Unless we are not doing those halved weight classes.

Well it's probably going to be DSL IRL, so get your chemo-at-home kit ready for that cancer. But literally nobody builds IF to the original weight limits

[WeN]

Going vote for DSL 2.2 IRL.

[Baconus_Yum]

It looks like DSL.

My team is ready.

(Pokey or Gah?)

Edit: Saw "Pokemon" Evolution rule, have to redesign some stuff.

[kix]

Chosen DSL-irl.. just to show off my updated bot....

[doot]

I went for DSL 2.2 - IRL because I already have 4 robots made for it.

*nudge nudge wink wink*

[Philippa]

kk

So I've gotta go build my robots now, I guess. You guys should probably start doing that too, so I can get a decent influx of entrants when signups officially open.

[Philippa]

The first team, and my entry, The Butterfly Effect is now up on the first page. I do believe it's time to kick this into the Signups section.

RULES
Game - DSL 2.2
Realistic Rule - IRL
Weightclass - LW / MW / CW / HW
16 Teams (If you want to join forces with another member, go ahead. You can be on a maximum of two teams, regardless of how many robots you make in that team.)
If you can't AI I will try my best to AI for you, just don't complain about it if your robot doesn't win.
You can't enter until I have received and accepted your robot.

BUILDING RULES
Rule Of Seven Break is allowed for this.
Only in game glitches are allowed -  eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
No external editing at all - BFE, AAM and so on. (Except adjusting chassis height. You can do that in BFE.)
Robots with tracks get no weight cushion.
No scuttlers, crawlers or walkers.
Multibots are banned.
You can upgrade your robot or send a new one as much as you like until signups end.
Nothing from Cheatbot2, you know that.
You cannot have more than one of these on any robot, regardless of weightclass. Mechavore disc, Microvore disc, Moros blade, Frenzy hammer, Minion disc, and Overkill blade.
The IRL packs that DSC has been making are allowed.
Your team must consist of four robots who follow the same design principle. (All flippers, or all VS, or whatever. Imagine Pokemon evolution, but in RA2.)
The team must have a LW, MW, CW, and HW.
For the sake of team-ness, I'd prefer if they had similar names or paintjobs, or some sort of theme.
No stupid names or stupid team names either.

BATTLE RULES
3 minute fights.
What Doesn't Kill You Arena (Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament Arena. GEE WHO'D HAVE THUNK IT?)
Hazards on.
If a robot havoks then I will restart the match. I will keep restarting until there is a havok-free match. Fights with havoks will not be shown.
Single eliminantion(ish) format. The winners of the Qualifiers (LW) go forward as normal to find the champion. The losers go backwards, with the winner of the subsequent rounds being eliminated, in order to find the loseriest loser. In both cases, the weight categories will start low, then go up with each round.
Qualifiers - Lightweights
Quarter Finals - Middleweights
Semi Finals - Cruiserweights
Finals - Heavyweights

If you think I've missed anything out, then say something.

This is now a signups topic and the rules quoted may not change. Good luck, you've got 9 months.

[Baconus_Yum]

Entered.

Expect a lot of hammers.

[wakkydude]

Can we get a post in the thread from Kurt confirming rules on component freedom?
