I mean tiny tiny chassis like this aren't very good for popups or rammers really, but are well suited to SnS and VS and sometimes HS too.

This tournament was DSL 2.1 SnS only.. hence the tacky pun. :)

Clash Cubes 1 (and to an extent CC2) was dominated by Somebody's (the user) SnS hybrid. This tournament was originally a celebration of the 5 year anniversary of Clash Cubes 1 (which is now 6.5)

I mean tiny tiny chassis like this aren't very good for popups or rammers really, but are well suited to SnS and VS and sometimes HS too.

Funny enough CC3 was won by a front hinge flipper and CC4 was won by a pop-up

Clash cubes concept was always designed to promote external construction given a tiny cube is the only real efficient shape. "Out of the box thinking" if you want some more puns :P

Thought so, also only later realized that Clash Cubes is about having that small cube chassis(thought everyone just did that to save weight for weapons).
Personally I like building stuff like that because it offers a completely different Robot fighting game which goes more into the direction that I would imagine(fight until you break a bot's Control Board or Immobilize them by destroying the Batteries instead of reducing the chassis hp to 0).
Front Hinged Flipper winning? interesting, thought that design wouldn't allow for OOTA's(which is how flippers will win the most time) unless you build it Firestorm like.
The chassis isn't exactly built for a popup but that doesn't mean one can't add the wedge shape.

Also 400th post.

Sweet, thanks. Might be easiest to throw them all in a google drive folder and share the link rather than uploading them all individually.

Okay a few little updates..

• All robots are AI'd ready to go
• Video Template(s) are also ready
• Slight venue change (I know your not technically meant to but this tournament is already blown past the timeframe rule so..)

Basically the combat zone has a too large floor space and these SnS robots are finding it hard to KO each other.. so to try and add some excitement to the matches ive reverted back to the Clash Cubes Arena (from CCIV) with a quick little makeover

At least now the robots are in close proximity and OOTA KO's are achievable

Was the CC4 arena ever released?
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I feel as if I may not have known what the devil I was doing when I built my entry. Oh well, will be neat to see this finally play out.

I dont think so.. It was slated to come out with CCAI 2 but it never came to light..

I plan to bundle up a few bits and pieces ive made soon and come up with some sort of release.

The Final is now in the first post (and on the youtube channel)

Congratulations to


Given the size and heavy delays I wont do a seperate awards thread or anything like that but I want to thank everyone who entered, it wasn't a terribly popular concept but I appreciate those who supported it.

Promise if I do another tournament itll take less then 2 years  :gawe:tm

Roll Credits!
