news *** rovers *** results

General:

This contest should be understood as a possiblity of testing the beta-components "ShieldL" by SteveT and "ImperialBattery" by myself. For this reason, your first submission must have BOTH components mounted. You may enter a second bot, though, which then is free of this restriction.
Please note that this contest will not be perpetual, but has a deadline (May 14., 2003 - 24:00 CEST).

Scenario:

This contest uses the "Battle Rink"-Scenario (Slightly modified ice-hockey arena customized for battle).
It'll use standard end-conditions (win by 3, quit upon idling too long). There'll be a timeout after 15 minutes gametime. For supported chassis and components see below.

Ranking:

Standard ranking by number of wins and losses.

Submitting:

To take part in the contest you'll have to send your rover-files (at least the .vmf AND .ice) - if possible in a .zip-file - to [email protected]. Include your name and (if you like) a short description of your bot's tactics and/or equipment. Rovers have to reach me until May 14., 2003 - 24:00 CEST.

Two rovers are allowed per player, but you must submit
at least one rover with BOTH beta-components mounted.


All rovers will be made available for download after the contest is run.
