Title: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 16, 2011, 08:00:19 AM: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72758cc%20five.png)

Yep I guess this is an announcement, "Clash Cubes Five" will happen same time of the year as it always starts

Now I have drawn up concepts for the arena and am planning it all out now before it goes into production..

CCfive will be 64 bot, double elimination like CCIV only I dont know what to do for the bots themselves..

So lets hear your suggestions for game versions/ weight classes and the most popular ones will go to a poll

Nominations

- Restart the Cycle (DSL HW)
- Stock HW (Standard Stock Rules)
- Stock HW (using the largest chassis possible that is a cube.)
- DSL HW (Tank Treads Locomotion Only)
- Stock MW (Hax Mode Allowed)
- DSL HW (Hovercrafts)
- DSL (Multibot's)
- DSL (Shuffle/Walker Bots)

Post by: Wacky Bob on July 16, 2011, 08:01:30 AM: Stock Heavyweight

Post by: SteveM4 on July 16, 2011, 08:02:15 AM: ~~FIRST!~~
Second...

And I approve of DSL HW, for I have some cube bots that I have no use for that are pretty decent.

Stock Heavyweight

1 thing though..

Think how big a cube chassis would be in stock? (this is what has always stopped the transition from DSL)

Now I came up with a few idea's.. one now with Hax mode a restricted amount of use could also be possible..

Feel free to go more in depth then simple " Stock HW" ;)

3. Stock MW (Hax Mode Allowed)
4. DSL HW Hovercrafts
5. DSL Multibot :thumbup
6. DSL Shuffle/Walker Bots
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 16, 2011, 08:13:23 AM: Nice ideas so far..

One thing to add.. I wont do AW, BW or UHW though

(first 2 as I dont like them, last due to lag potential and load times)
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on July 16, 2011, 08:16:26 AM: HW Stock or DSL Crawlers
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: RpJk on July 16, 2011, 08:26:23 AM: Stock Team type thingy
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: G.K. on July 16, 2011, 09:22:28 AM: I like the sound of Stock HW (using the largest chassis possible that is a cube.)

Possibly DSL with a maximum weight of 600kg?
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Jack Daniels on July 16, 2011, 09:37:27 AM: Are you considering doing a closed-in arena this time around?
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Scorpion on July 16, 2011, 09:39:46 AM: The only ones I think would work well would be to restart the cycle, stock with hax mode or multibots

"Cruiserweight" is an awesome idea.. Why didnt I think of that..

CCII innovated the SHW class, would be cool to innovate another.. we may have a premature winner..

:O Thats Top Secret Information

But I will say that haters of the last 2 CC Arena's will probably like this one ;)

I have thought about 600kg before (not for a tournament though) I thought of calling them Cruiserweight...

:P
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Preytor_4 on July 16, 2011, 10:09:27 AM: I like the multibots idea and hax mode
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: RpJk on July 16, 2011, 10:14:48 AM: How about two people pair up type and Stock MW each with Hax Mode?
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Urjak on July 16, 2011, 10:21:44 AM: I would prefer keeping it DSL (CC has been one of the only exclusive DSL tournament series). I wouldn't mind just restarting the cycle, or maybe doing multibots.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on July 16, 2011, 10:29:27 AM: I would say DSL HW, but if there will be the beginning of Cruiserweight bots that would be very neat.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Hydro on July 16, 2011, 10:30:38 AM: DSL HW
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Jonzu95 on July 16, 2011, 10:30:43 AM: I would say DSL MW Multibot... or Tag Team

That was my thought.. but I want to keep it fresh at the same time.. Thats why I like the idea of Cruiserweight..

Simple enough to not scare off people but new..

Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: NFX on July 16, 2011, 01:39:59 PM: I might suggest starting the cycle over, to be honest. The level of building's really gone up since the first Clash Cubes, I'd say.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: ty4er on July 16, 2011, 01:41:49 PM: I quite liked RPJK's idea tbh

but change it to DSL and have them make a MW/LW each? (depends on what weight class it is)

I think it would be a good idea or make it a both Stock and DSL Tag Team as in for example 1 person bulids in Stock and the Other does DSL and it Is two tourneys but one Team and whoever makes it furthest in total wins if you know what I mean.

Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 16, 2011, 08:43:01 PM: yeah, no.. DSL and Stock are not a level playing field..

Also a Cube Chassis in Stock doesnt work.. Once you get a supervolt in there (may as well say 1 supervolt as everyone will stack now), a CB and a few base anchors or snappers and you have one bulky robot..

I have pretty much decided on Cruiserweight now that I have slept on it...

Thanks for all the thoughts and opinions.. Once I have drawn up the arena plans I will post them in this thread (probably wont go into production until after CCIV)

Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 17, 2011, 03:55:06 AM: So here is the first bit of concept art for the v2 arena..

Scaling is not worked out yet but the floating blue square up the top is probably around the height of the combat zone roof

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20545ccstadium%20v2.JPG)

There is a bit more to it and what it does this time but im still working on that part..
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: NFX on July 17, 2011, 07:17:42 AM: Ah, cool. Do the walls become gradually lower the longer the match goes on?

I'll definitely have a stab at this. 600.0 kg is an interesting weight limit to play with.
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 17, 2011, 09:21:22 AM: Keeping in mind its not yet to scale..

You see the top of the walls is like the arena in CCIV? well the walls do the same effect as CCIV.. just higher up so only powerful flippers can reach..

Also there is another part involving the big blue floating square that I will get to later..

So its still oota-able just not so tabletop-ish..
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Somebody on July 17, 2011, 10:05:42 AM: Oh I see it's kind of like the dsl blade arena with UHWs because it's oota-able but the roof can get in the way, so it has to be flipped in the right spot. Kind of reminds me of COTT hmmm ;)
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 17, 2011, 10:16:56 AM: Yes but the roof may get in the way a little more then you may think ;)

It comes down and crushes bots like the one you showcased for Backlash?

It's a bigger small arena :gawe:
Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: JoeBlo on July 17, 2011, 10:33:31 AM: I was tempted :P but no..

It acts just like the upper walls.. when hit by a robot or little cube in the corner (they will be super bouncy this time) it will fall...

Its larger then the lower wall square.. so when it falls it will seal off the arena and make it enclosed..

But dont throw your flipper designs away just yet.. the roof will also deal damage when robots are flung up into it..

Now I just need to work out all the scaling and sizes so everything's nice and even (obviously cant have the roof too low and cant have the walls too high..)

Post by: LiNcK on July 17, 2011, 03:36:05 PM: I want DSL HW Hovercrafts! :D
Mostly coz there hasnt been a single tourney that has hovercrafts that I think of :P

It would be pretty interesting, Since I dont think anybody even makes hovercrafts.

Besides, It would be HELLA fun to see a little cube with HUGE wheels LOL

*high fives co-namer*

I think I like it so much because its basically MW's (my Favorite class) but with more weight to play with..

200kg I see getting sunk into improving a MW design as opposed to making an underweight HW design..

Oh! Wait a surprise, I made a popup that was supposed to be a HW but never managed to get it to 800KG, Its only 608 :3

Title: Re: Clash Cubes Five Idea's
Post by: Meganerdbomb on July 20, 2011, 08:50:26 AM: I think the only hax mode retriction you need is no exo stacking. A tournement full of invincible battery armored bots would be no fun to watch at all.
