Hello and welcome to Mechanical Maelstrom Season 2.0.
I need 16 people to enter two heavyweight robots each, they must be vapours unless you actually own 2 realies, in which case you can enter those.
The robots must adhere to these rules:
€ž« No wheeled robot can weigh more than 100kg
€ž« No robot at all can weigh less than 80.1kg
€ž« A 10% weight advantage is given to tracks and shufflers
€ž« A 50% weight advantage is given to true walkers. The definition of a true walker must be that rotary camshafts do not operate any part of the walking mechanism, and each leg must have 2 stages of movement
€ž« No un-tethered projectiles are allowed
€ž« Cluster-bots are allowed, but there can be no more than 4 parts. Each cluster must make up an equal part of the overall weight and if 50% or more of the cluster is eliminated the whole bot is out
€ž« Pneumatic pressures cannot exceed 2400psi, hydraulic pressures 5000psi
This tournament will take place in the Annihilation Stadium V2, which is a 15 x 15m2 box with stainless steel floor and 50mm hardox walls that reach 55cm high. Inside the box there are fewer hazards than last season, but we still have a few:
€ž« Just outside of the bottom left corner there is a 2 x 2m2 pit, opened by a release button in the top right corner
€ž« In the middle of the top and bottom walls there are static spike strips, 5 metres across
€ž« In the two remaining corners there are sets of killsaws
You can reserve a spot, but it will only last three days before becoming vacant again.
The tournament structure will feature 8 qualifiers of 4 robots in the first round. Each heat is a four way melee with two robots going through, but from then on its straight knockout, with 16 robots down to 8, 8 robots down to 4, 4 down to 2 and 2 down to 1. There are four seeds in this tournament, based on their performances last time around:
04. Leprosy Infection
03. Spin Dash Unleashed
02. Gabriel III
01. Sheer Heart Attack 2
If I don¡¦t get 16 entries by two weeks today I will fill up the remaining spaces with random realies.
Get Entering!!!
