"Sumo Bots" is a common robotic competition where the goal is to build a self-driving AI robot that will push its opponent out of the ring. Examples of this can be seen here : http://www.roblox.com/--place?id=71966740


## Rules and Regulations

The robots will be separated into separate weight classes based on `:GetMass()`. These weight classes are

>0-80
81-100
101-120
121-150
151-170
171-210

If you would like to see the exact script used to weigh the bots, ( http://www.roblox.com/--item?id=72199199 )

----------

When building the Sumo Bot there are a couple restrictions.

- Your bot must move via VehicleSeat ONLY.
- Your bot must use raycasting to find its enemy. It cannot access any other information to find its enemies.
- Your bot cannot have any RocketPropulsion objects. This means no RocketPropulsion, BodyGyro, BodyAngularVelocity, BodyPosition, or any similar objects.
- Your bot cannot have any scripted weapons. This means you can't have `BreakJoints()` spikes or anything similar. However, if you wanted to have a bot with a spinning brick on it that works via the Motor surface, that is fine.
- You are allowed to have scripted graphical components as long as it doesn't interfere with the fight. This means you could have changing decal displays, a flashing light based on what state your robot is in, etc.

----------

The Sumo Bot competition will be a double elimination tournament for each weight class. Each match will consist of 3 2-minute periods. If after the third period no bot has been killed, neither bot will advance and a bye will replace them in the bracket. The different rings can be found here : http://www.roblox.com/My/Sets.aspx?id=536758


## Entering
Before you can enter the, your bot must already be completed. Only one entry per person/team per event. No changes may be done to your entry after submission.

----------

To enter send me a message with the title `[Event Name] entry [Solo or Team]`

Whether you put solo or team at the end depends if you're entering by yourself, or as a team. So an example entry title would be

> SumoBots entry Solo

Inside the message, you should include the following.
- Team name [if any]
- Team members
- Link of the robot.

----------

If you encrypt any scripts in your entry, it will be denied. This is because we cannot check that your entry follows all the rules when it is encrypted.

"Your bot must use raycasting to find its enemy. It cannot access any other information to find its enemies."

Can you create work-arounds?
Example:
Create a growing part that uses the .Touched event to find parts?

Also is this contest forum-specific, for a certain group of people, or for anyone to join?

Anyone can join. Also, sure. The only reason I wanted the raycasting thing was so the bots weren't so all-mighty and more realistic.

Are we allowed to have just a sphere that resizes itself to fling all opponents to kingdom come?

Does the velocity property count as a weapon? And can the bot be anchored?

Let me put it this way.

The only thing a script can change is the VehicleSeat-specific properties ( Throttle,Steer,Torque,MaxSpeed,TurnSpeed ) and graphical displays that do nothing to effect the fight, just make it look cooler.

Yes, I know how the Raycasting method works, what I DON"T know is how to use it practically, for example, to find the object, do I shoot the rays in all directions until the bot finds it? *I don't even know how to script rays =/. My scripting is limited to CFrame doors and Gui, which is why I research classes 24/7. Right now I"m trying to figure out NPCs for RPG games. I need guns on them so *cries* I NEED RAYCASTING KNOWLEDG!! *Stomps off red in the face*

When I decide to set the date. Haven't set the date yet however, I'll give yall at least a week, then next day will probably be the tournament.

I also just realized that some people might not be familiar with the concept of double-elimination. Should I explain it?
