BattleBot Competition Event in SR2 better guidelines

Idea of sr2 to set up fun events and encourage players to use vizzy, keep the community active or atleast have some fun watching the event.

Thanks to Plane918273645, for currently making the sample bot and the countdown timer.

Demo Guidelines

1. Entry

1. A mod/community member makes a post where players put link on comments of their entry or be a successor of the post. 1 craft per player only. Entries will then be reviewed, if a player's entry craft is copied/duplicated/"not much changes made to it" by another player and also used it as entry, the website will get you banned so dont do that. Deadline of entry submission will be set by the host

2. Participants make their very own battle bot design. The participant could make theyre own program/system.
   NOTE: A sample bot with basic vizzy program loaded to it capable of doing basic task of a sumo bot will be uploaded by the host/mod/community member, this can then be downloaded by the participants specially by the new ones to vizzy to start with and modify it.

3. The host will then pick two random player crafts from the entries .

2. Entry Crafts' limit

1. Tinkered, Modded and/or Xml edited crafts are strictly prohibited.

2. Weapon's that can damage the opponent's craft is extremely ENCOURAGED.

3. Rocket engines and fuels are allowed

4. Crafts with devices that increase down force is prohibited. (Not sure bout this)

5. Size limit will be set by the host. Craft can expand in size inside the arena only as soon as the round starts.
   (depends on category)

6. Craft's Weight limit will be set by the host.
   (depends on category)

7. Speed limit will be set by the host.
   (depends on category)

8. Maximum Part count will be set by host (depends on category)

9. Set the power of the craft to AG1
   (So it will be easier to trigger the start and the end of the round)

3.How

Match:

(craft and owner 1) vs. (craft and owner 2)

Round :

1 out of 3 =>2 out of 3 =>3 out of 3 =>GGs

1. The host will set a separate command chip to be set as the primary which will broadcast the 2 crafts the start of the round and the end of the round.

2. For each match, 1 round will be held and each round has 5 minutes time limit unless extended by the host.

3. Arena will be built in planet studio as a structure (could be a launch pad or custom made arena) where the match will take place and the countdown and broadcast device will be located 10m above the arena. Arena's size will depend on the entries' size limit.
   Destruction of the arena is also extremely ENCOURAGED. (Dynamic structures soon)

4. Series of Preliminary rounds will be held until we come down to the championship round where 2 winner crafts from semi finals will clash then we can finally determine the winner of SR2 Battlebot Competition 2022!

5. Incase of a draw round (both craft got knocked out at the same time and has no way to get up, non functional, glitched or bugged) there will be a round redo and point not counted on both side.

6. 2 crafts should be spawned 6 to 15 meters apart at 2 opposite sides of the arena

7. The host would stream (recommended)/create a video of the fight in discord or youtube so that people can watch.

8. Match per day depends on the host

4. Start/Resume/Stop

1. If craft didn't work/shown signs of life or not responding the time the round starts, maybe caused by flaws in program or external failure. Failed craft gets skipped for later match. (So please participants test your crafts if it works properly before submission and set ag1 as power your bot's power button).

2. If craft is immobilized (wheel detached, stopped responding after or chip destroyed), the round stop and the dominant craft would get the point.

thats it
