Forum:Robot Wars Extreme 1 Audited - Discussion

A few things need to be established and decided on before we start this tournament.

Each tournament will also have its own discussion page, and discussion for each tournament will begin the week before the tournament starts.

Avaliable Robots
As we will be making changes to the line up for each tournament, I have decided any robot that fought in Extreme 1 and/or Series 5 can be included, depending on the requirements of each tournament.

If you have any questions about avaliability of robots, send me a message on my Talk Page.

Robots that failed to qualify can also be included, provided we know enough about them, with a picture being a bare minimum.

Also, I know many events in the real Extreme 1 were filmed concurrently with Series 5, which led to many withdrawals, but for this Audited Series, all these tournaments will be held under the assumption they were filmed before Series 5. I thought it would be better this way, to prevent arguments such as "Can Mousetrap be in this tournament, or would it be unable to enter due to damage by S3".

Judges
Who are going to be the judges for this series?

Comments

 * I am going to vote in this tournament. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 10:41, August 10, 2015 (UTC)

Tournament Suggestions
This is the big one. I have decided there will be 10 tournaments. The following four will definately happen; the All-Stars, New Blood, Tag Team and the Second World Championship, with the All-Stars being the first, and the Second World Championship being the last.

The other six tournaments are up to you. I have ten suggestions for other tournaments, vote for which ones you would like to see.

Animal Anarchy
An original idea of mine: a tournament between robots shaped like animals, such as Robochicken and Trouble n' Strife

Comments

 * I really like the originality of this event, I would love to see these fun looking robots fighting among each other. Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 11:12, August 10, 2015 (UTC)

Armed Forces Special
The same robots, but a different lineup, and this time we can include Mousetrap.

Flipper Frenzy
Instead of having it as just one battle, turn it into a whole tournament. There are many other great robots that we can include, including Firestorm and Behemoth.

House Robot Rebellion
Like the ones held in Extreme Warriors, with a knock out tournament to decide who goes through to fight the House Robots.

Iron Maidens
Just like the Extreme 2 Tournament, except with different robots, Widow's Revenge and M2 for example.

Lower Key International Event
As well the 2nd World Championship, I was thinking of haivng another, smaller international event, such as a War of Independence or a European Championship. If you like this idea, state which tournament you would prefer in the Comments section below.

Mayhem
I was going to suggest an Annihilator, but the problem with that is that it is hard to judge, as it depends a lot on which robot takes on which robot first. Instead I thought of doing a Mayhem tournament like the one in Nickelodeon Robot Wars, only larger.

Comments

 * I like this idea, as it is a chance to choose a lot of Robots without being restricted by the requirements that the other tournaments are Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 08:55, August 10, 2015 (UTC)

Minor Meltdown
Just like the Ex2 tournament. In addition to the robots that fought in the Extreme 2 tournament, there are plenty of other choices, like Corkscrew, Crushtacean and Ming, enough for a completely different line up.

North vs South
Done before, but not for a while.

Comments

 * It might be better to do it as a "Home Countries" tournament; England, Scotland, Wales, Northern/Ireland. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 10:52, August 10, 2015 (UTC)

Robot Rampage
Have tournaments for the Middleweights and Antweights, rather than just melees.

Comments

 * The middleweight tourney would be outright annihilated by Typhoon, so it's best to remove it from this event. D.O.T   (Look! I talk! :D)  14:12, August 10, 2015 (UTC)

University Challenge
Like the Minor Meltdown, there are several other robots that can be included, such as Supernova and Disco-Inferno, to prevent the tournament being just a repeat of the Extreme 2 one.

Challenge Belt
Another idea I had was to have a Challenge Belt running across the Series. Behemoth will start off with the belt, and users can suggest robots to battle Behemoth. Each week, one robot will be randomly drawn, and the battle will take alongside each tournament as a sort of "Special Event". A robot can only have one attempt at the belt, and a robot will win the belt after winning three battles.

Do you like this idea?

For yes, vote here

Comments

 * This is a good idea, however, I suggest you take the Audited Series 7 approach and randomise the robot that's taking on Behemoth yourself. Further thoughts on the tournament come tomorrow when I'm available again. Toast  Ultimatum  10:17, August 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I think voting for what robot should fight is a better idea in my opinion but I guess AS7 approach could be more useful and less time consuming. Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 11:49, August 10, 2015 (UTC)
