there are a lot of active tournaments running so this probably wont run until a few more finish but this is just a list of how the rules look and a discussion on what people think should be changed or added to it

Weight:

Its going to be DSL official super heavyweight, Bots can weigh no more then 1200kg. To achieve this an anti ballast will be required, please make note of the following

ALL anti ballasts must be removed prior to submission

You may use any anti ballast of your choice providing it serves only that purpose and follows the above condition

For those that want it I have a -400kg anti ballast that I made for this tournament, simply put ONE of these on your bot at the start of construction and build up to the maximum 800kg then remove it and your bot will be no more then 1200kg

Clash Cubes Anti Ballast (Internal)

Clash Cubes Anti Ballast (External)

Smart Zone Anti Ballast

Construction:

No part can intersect another part that couldn't have a slot cut in it in real life. Example: Spinner blade passing through armor plate or chassis=OK. Spinner blade passing through wheel or battery=Not OK. There is a small margin of tolerance, though. If a spinner blade just nicks a motor or something, that's OK. Basically this rule is just intended to stop burst-enhanced overlapping spinners and their ilk like you see in stock RA2.

Glitches in the game may be exploited as long as they do not violate the above conditions.

be wary however as you will only get one do over for the whole tournament if YOUR own robot has a havok that effects the outcome for itself, there is also one match do over if YOUR bot causes a havok that effects the OPPONENT bot

no AI parts or Cheatbot 2 only what is found in the bot lab of a "clean" DSL 2.1 copy

And all robots must be a cube shape of any size, this means a square base, square top and equal height (so the bigger your base the higher your bot)

I will AI any bots that need it but if you do know how to AI please do, any custom .py files are ok as long as they are sent along with the bindings

Multibot/Clusterbot:

multibots will be allowed in clash cubes 2 but will have to follow the following rules.

segments are limited to only 2 bots, no more

the bots maybe entirely different and/or use different bindings

If 50% of the weight is beaten the whole bot is out

Both parts of the cluster must be the same weight class (in this case heavyweight)

any other rules or strategies may be exploited as long as they do not violate the above conditions.

Format:

The arena will be a re skinned Robot wars arena

Robots will qualify against one of the following: little cube, wild cube, mutt cube, necro cube, rubix cube, game cube or CFTW

In addition to one of the above you will also face either Monster cube or Aggro Cube

The 8 quickest robots in qualifying will gain a bye advantage for the first round

Multibots will have both “sub bots” fighting at once

Times will be judged in order of

1.   Quickest time to kill both robots
2.   Quickest time to kill one robot before becoming immobile
3.   Longest time surviving in the arena before becoming immobile
4.   Most points obtained

Wild Card Bracket

the matches will still be sudden death (1 round)

after that the 3 that go through will fight the others (which will make a total of 3 matches)

3 points for a clear win
0 points for a loss
1 point for a draw**

**points wins are counted as a draw in the wild card bracket only

The New "X" Bracket:

The "Wild Card" Bracket

Prizes

each person who makes it to the semi finals will gain a choice of one prize, after that each person will gain an additional prize selection for every match won (which means the highest possible to win is 3 selections) the first place qualifier will also gain 1 prize selection. All prizes are legal for use in the next clash cubes

Option 1 - A small battery that provides double the power of an antweight battery

Option 2 - A sawblade that has 8 attachment points for weapons, deals the same damage as a normal sawblade

Option 3 - A weapon that makes hammer bots more effective, can deal 3x the damage of a frenZy hammer

Option 4 - A 2 in 1 prize, a powerful motor and a fuel tank which is only needed for legality in Clash Cubes

your name will appear colored now, red if I have no bot, Green if your bot is AI'd in the game, yellow if your bot is waiting to be put into the game or be AI'd

Wow, now this looks good! I can't see anything wrong with the rules or anything.
(Oh, and if you're taking submissions yet, I would love to enter - having just missed the last one P:)

can you have a no snsnsnsns rule cause first i dont want to look like an ass copying somebody's robot and we all know he is going to make one like in hydros tournament(we all know snsnsnsns shw will win)

JoeBlo · « **Reply #6 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:07:55 AM »

sorry but I cant handicap the rules to put the reigning champ behind the 8 ball their is nothing to prevent Somebody entering a robot as vicious as SnSnSnSnS however I will say that the arena change will see robots like it less dominant as there are pits, drop zones, flippers and fairly low walls, I will say one thing in testing to my amazement SnSnSnSnS was beaten

You can count me in. I have something in mind already :evil:

Somebody · « **Reply #9 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:14:53 AM »

No SnSnSnSnS for me, I will most likely be entering a flipper in this one. Are there multibots?

russian roulette · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:16:46 AM »

Thank GOD!!!!

JoeBlo · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:30:10 AM »

multibots are allowed with a limit of 2 bots and as a rule they must be able to use the same bindings :-D

A flipper would be great I would like to see variation in designs

Pwnator · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:32:36 AM »

Still not aiming for the top 3, but won't let you guys win it easily. >:D

Naryar · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2009, 07:34:33 AM »

I have something VERY powerful in mind guys.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2009, 07:35:24 AM »

the anti ballast link is in on the first page

and on the cluster topic im thinking of making it so both parts of the "cluster" must be Identical like Gemini or Typhoon Twins so basically submit to me a 600kg robot and 2 will be put into the battle

H@zm47 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2009, 07:46:17 AM »

Definitely going to give this one a go after missing the first one.
The arena looks nice. Good work :)

Reier · « **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2009, 10:05:35 AM »

System32 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2009, 10:46:38 AM »
