It is allowed in some tournys. [Look at AJWars] Besides, I think there WILL be people who have 2 or more robots no matter what, no matter how many times I re-do the draw.

Maybe, but the fact being that there are three heats with at least two of my robots in (DieCeratops ReInvertus and NNSW, Cyclone Force and Obliteration, Orka and Leprosy Infection). I dont wanna sound rude (just as Martyn and Daniel dont), but having more than one robot in a heat does sorta limit the robots success.

Youre forgetting that only ONE robot goes through, so unless you do tactics like Drive in pit for one of them, Each robots chances are unaffected. Besides, since ANYONE can have two robots in the same heat, it sort of evens out the odds for the drivers.

ok I will ask then how do you make better robots
and anyway Ive thought of a design so anyone can tell me if they want to hear the design or not( Ps its good)

[swiss_tony]

Of course YOUD say its good. What it proboblay is is yet another unrealistic design with like 10 flippers and spinners with a FBS shell...
Just go, Tim.

Just a question, how do these heats work out? Are they a four robot rumble and two robots go through... or are they two on two and the winners go through to fight eachother or what is it?

[dinowarrior]

Or is it a four robot rumble and only one robot goes through? Somehow, that may be fairer.

[swiss_tony]

Didnt I specifiy that it was a four way with only one robot going through? Oh well. Either way, Chris has it right.

Oh, in case you wanted something more specific, Alex:
The format will be like this: Four brackets of 16 bots each. There will be 4 heats divided with 4 robots each for each bracket. Each robot that is the last one standing [or wins a judges decision] Goes through. The winners of each of the four heats then fight each other, and the last two eliminated are out. Then its a one-on one fight between the two survivors. The winner of that match moves on to the finals. Once the four finalsts make it there, theres another heat with 4 robots. The first two out fight each other in a playoff, and the last two standing face off for first place. Unlike most tournys, there are only 4 seeds, and if theres a next season, those four will be in the first heat of the first bracket.
Everyone understand now? If so, how bout them tactics?

OK, Im not sure how on EARTH Im going to do this...

DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS and NO, NOT STEVEN WHATSIS NAME
Die Ceratops will take on TMO, Steven will tackle the other bot (forgotten its name). If we both survive, I dont know what to do...Ill probably take the weak way out and drive one into the pit or something.

CYCLONE FORCE 2.5 and OBLITERATION
Cyclone to take on Forcepower, whilst Obliteration battles SDIV. If both survive, have a few goes at each other anyway, then drive one down the pit.

MEGA MASHER 2
Go for Tails.

ORKA MK4 and LEPROSY INFECTION
Orka goes for Whirligig, Leprosy attacks Killotine. Same rules go for above.

AXE-O-LOTL
Attack anyone. Ram hard if I get underneath anyone.

Dont want to fight yourself, eh chris?
Well, in that case, ill get to work on the first heat.

[dinowarrior]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Not immediatly, even though Ive always wanted to know which of my bots is the strongest.

no i meant the designs good the rest is crap
anyway I just wanted to tell the design (or say) anyway if I say it someone else can make it realistic
well the robot which I thought about well its basically dreadnought xp1 apart from theres a flipper instead of the lifting forks and theres a big spinny disc in the back

[dinowarrior]

Advice tip no. 1: Remove the disc!
