Forum:New Blood - Discussion

The All Stars tournament will be held over three weeks. There will be 12 robots, in two Heats of 6, with two robots in each Heat going through to the Grand Final. Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 14:59, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

Heat Format
As there will be six robots in each Heat, vote for how you want each Heat to be structured. We can either have two three-way melees in Round 1 where one robot is eliminated, followed by two one-on-one battles, with the winners of each Round 2 battle going through to the final, or Round 1 can be three one-on-one battles, with the losers of each Round 1 battle going into a losers melee, where the winner is reinstated into Round 2, with the same two one-on-one battles to decide which robot goes onto the final.

For the "Losers Melee" option, vote here

Competing robots
The following six robots will automatically qualify for the tournament. They are mostly the Wild Card Warriors, but because Axe Awe had rached round 2 before, The Executioner was in Series 5, and we haven't seen this version of TX-108, I removed them and replaced them with three other teams that made their debut in Extreme 1.


 * Ajjay
 * Anvil
 * Cataclysmic Variabot
 * Draven
 * Shear Khan
 * The Spider

The other six places are up to you. Here is a list of robots to pick from, chosen from those that failed to qualify for Series 5.


 * Barbaric Response
 * Cedric Slammer
 * Chip
 * Chompalot
 * Lightning
 * M2
 * Mute
 * Pendragon
 * Roobarb
 * Short Circuit
 * Sub-Version
 * The Stag
 * Tiger Shark
 * Trident (Tridentate)
 * Vader

I have put the links to the Series 5 versions of each of these machines (apart from Barbaric Response, The Stag and Vader who were pretty much completely the same as in Series 6). Now, I don't have pictures of how Cedric Slammer, Short Circuit and Trident appeared at the Series 5 qualifers, but I have descriptions which confirm they were the same as in Series 6, except Cedric had no srimech, and Short Circuit had a chainsaw instead of a disc.

 * One small note - Barbaric Response and Chip both had problems with their weapons at the Series 5 qualifiers (BR had no flipper because their CO2 bottle leaked, and Chip had no disc because a wire broke on the way to the qualifiers) but for the sake of this audited tournament, lets pretend they were able to fix these. I say this partly to make it fair on them, and also because the problems were not so large that they can't be fixed. Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 14:59, September 21, 2015 (UTC)
