I have no idea what the first rule even means there. What's wrong with wheels then?If a spinner takes enough damage in RR2, then the entire weapon just falls of and starts sliding across the arena. However, if you attach a wheel to the motor first and then attach a weapon to the wheel, the spinner becomes invincible, gets rid of the blur, and makes the spinner faster.
Sounds a bit like cheating if you ask me, but guess I'll fix up Phantasm later today before sending it in.Better to see this than your weapon falling off in 2 hits
2- flippers and hammers are now allowed, as long as its ai`d. if anybody wants to volenteer to help, you can do so. Also, they have to be motor powered, no pistons.
I'm all for the weapons not falling off ect, my issue with the wheel fix on weapons however is the fact once this is in effect it no longer classes it as a weapon and instead as a wheel. After a while of battle, once a robot deals a hit with it's spinner the robot itself is dealt damage rather than the opposing robot.Yeah, it seems like bots having wheel fix die much faster because of the damage from themselves.
I just feel like from here this would be easily exploited by having robots with static weapons beating those with spinning weapons (which lets be honest, it would be very rare for a static weapon to beat a spinner).
That's just my two cents on the topic though.

However in this game, i dont think that that is a good idea

Well, uhh... I guess Imma post a survey to see if either Wheelfix is required or banned. Either way, Flippers and Hammers require it regardless of the result. Vote ends on the 20th.
I'd say, keep the wheelfix for wheels and flippersThat's the plan. The vote is about the spinners only.
so whats the deal with piston flippers? You can wheelfix them, and i want to enter ziggyI guess I will allow them, but only if the flip power is somewhat nerfed.
Should IB, for now.
a) Lower the # of bots to 70
b) Raise the # of submissions to 5
c) Both
d) Neither
B for me as well. Then I can enter some bots are good-looking though not that competitive.Should IB, for now.
a) Lower the # of bots to 70
b) Raise the # of submissions to 5
c) Both
d) Neither
Can lower the # of bots later if raising submissions isn't enough.
I still don't see my Stopping Power in there. :(Yeah, that bot along with Hobo’s Infrared are giving me issues atm.
So basically Imma just let everyone enter their bots and no longer have a cap on how many can enter... for now. I'll most likely be making cuts after the 31st. So please, everybody (Robo, Sploodle, Wambo, HardBot, etc), ENTER!!!Does this mean there's no more limit on how many bots per person? Asking just to be certain.

No, there's still a 5-bot limit.

I’m thinking about doing a beetleweight special. What do you guys think?
Does anybody have any match requests?Deep Six v Red Ring of Death (RRoD)

Don't worry, CodeSilver switched the class to lightweight.
I'm taking a small break before I get started with filming. I've been struggling with a lot recently both physically and mentally, and I'm just trying to put my health as my top priority right now. Hopefully I can get started on filming next week. For those who's entries were submitted within the last week or so, I've not looked at them yet, but don't worry, as long as they fit the criteria and rules of the tournament, they will be accepted.
In other news, I've got a surprise for y'all that I think you guys will love! Hopefully the kinks will be worked out by the time filming starts.
Anyways, thank you guys so much for entering and supporting me, as it means a ton to me. Going from 16 to 36 to 80+ entries? INSANE!!! You guys are absolutely amazing and I hope to make SvL Season 2 as fun and entertaining as possible!

Cool now I gotta make splashes for all of these bots. :rage On a completely unrelated note, I'm now growing facial hair!Cool???????
Double post :/Yeah go ahead!
Can I enter an updated version of RRoD? The current version’s drive is too powerful.
Knowing that ive been pulled, im going to enter RRoD2 (doesn't exist), Last Rites from my showcase, and a nonexistent Shin Splitter(last rites reskinned with different supports and a new weapon bar). Ill probably think of more.As long as they are submitted within the next 2 days, and if they are detailed, I will most likely accept them. I would recommend that you enter your triple spinner bot from your showcase, as I think that’s your most original design by far.
sh** i should enter Craplectric JRIs Crappy Jr a lightweight?
OK. Ill enter mindblown. Even if last rites and shin splitter are pretty much the same robot, can i still enter both?Knowing that ive been pulled, im going to enter RRoD2 (doesn't exist), Last Rites from my showcase, and a nonexistent Shin Splitter(last rites reskinned with different supports and a new weapon bar).

Ok. Just to compare, here is my rep of last rites:Considering they’re both reps, I guess I can allow it. I’ll also probably assist you with detailing if the need be.

Ah, crap. I forgot to ai mindblown. can you do it?All spinners will be using the default AI.
It has two control systems, one for the middle disc and one for the angled ones.Ah, crap. I forgot to ai mindblown. can you do it?All spinners will be using the default AI.

I think we'll have to do with what there is now. Though he's waiting for at least the next version of the game for certain reasons.Primarily A40-300 motors being broken
Wait a second, is this going to be using the latest/close to the latest build? A lot of stuff got changed including weights of motors and such. I think I submitted them on the October build and my bots are kind of broken now. Are we allowed to update them still?They all work fine for me. What build are you using?
With the current state of the game, I’m going to have to postpone Season 2 until further notice. If we’re extremely lucky, the free cam for the SvL arena (when it’s finished, I have no idea when) will be compatible with the most stable build, Feb 16, and I can actually get to filming. If not, either we pray for a new stable build to come out, or I have to cancel SvL and figure out what to do. I’m not ****ing happy with this. I’m not pissed off at the developers, I’m just pissed off at the situation. It’s really hard to just cancel an 88-bot tournament. But it’s also really hard to do a tournament with a bunch of outdated entries. Hopefully this all works out in the end, because I don’t know what the **** to do if it doesn’t.I’ve got old builds if you need them

It's almost like basing your tournament around patches that aren't even out yet, in a game that's still in alpha/beta testing isn't a good ideaAtleast he plans on finishing his tournament :heck:

He has a point admittedly. I get that you're excited for RR2 but hosting a tournament so early on into development was a bit silly.

You could use the version of the game that was out when you were accepting entries, rather than banking on future versions maintaining compatibility when the game is still in development and patches are clearly gonna break stuff from previous versions.
Literally anybody who's played an in-development version of a game before could tell you that the chances of stuff from one development version still being compatible down the line are basically nil. You should have seen this coming.
You could like, wait until it's in full release before you start hosting tournaments?Why would I wait 2-3 years to start my tournament back up when all I'm waiting for is a goddamn Free-Cam?
You could use the version of the game that was out when you were accepting entries, rather than banking on future versions maintaining compatibility when the game is still in development and patches are clearly gonna break stuff from previous versions.I'm not as worried about the compatibility of the robots as I am about the Free-Cam and whether or not the game that its compatible with is stable.
Literally anybody who's played an in-development version of a game before could tell you that the chances of stuff from one development version still being compatible down the line are basically nil. You should have seen this coming.Why did you feel the need to tell me this? It's kinda ****ing obvious that stuff in this game become incompatible eventually. I know how development works. Again, I'm more worried about if there's a stable build I can use the Free Cam on. The SvL arena that I currently have works on builds Feb 16-now. I just am unsure if the version with the Free-Cam can work on Feb 16 when it's finished being made, as it's the most stable build.
I mean there have been a fair ammounts of tournaments in this game already, so hosting yet another tournament would be a reasonable thing i reckon.Most tournaments have been hosted in the same version of the game that the entries were built / accepted in. If free cam is that essential to this tournament that you're talking about cancelling it if you can't get a version that works with it, IDK why you didn't just wait to host it in the version of the game that it works with
Bot compatibilty will also not be an issue no more as from what ive heared, the bots structure file is p much done.
