since its gained what I would say sufficient interest im going to go ahead with it
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/ccctiltteSmall.png)
Its going to be DSL heavyweight
Bots can weigh no more then 800kg
The fights will be one round only, no best out of…. Winner moves on
Realistic Rules Apply: 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 there is a havok explosion
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 would prefer "DIY - do it yourself" AI but if you cant I shall do the best I can
The arena will be a re skinned combat zone called the cube coliseum
Latest Picture

Happy Cube Smashing! :biggrin:
-
It probably will half to be DSL or Stock Only, and you need to set a weight class. I would go with DSL HWs.
-
ok first post is now edited, its going to be DSL Heavyweight :-D
-
The only issue with this is the cube part, I know that is kind of the whole point of the tournament, but you shouldn't make the height have to equal the base.....
-
the idea behind the cube is that the bigger you want your base the higher your bot will have to be, just adds an extra degree of difficulty for the builder making that decision compact and small or big and tall. just to clear things up there is nothing in the rules about containing everything in the cube *wink wink* your welcome to put however much you want on the outside
-
Is it okay if it isn't exact? Because that might be a little tough to do.
-
no im not going to pull out a measuring tape lol just as long as it isn't an obvious rectangle
-
The Prizes
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46795Splash.jpg)sorry for the size if it was smaller it would look wierd but you can see me pwn3ing whreck tangle 2
-
ill enter
*SFTW alert*
Anyways JoeBlo, i like the cube idea. Really a nice touch. I'll definitely enter... if registration isn't over next week.
But are you really allowing any glitches in a DSL tourney ?
-
Isn't DSL supposed to be Realistic only. Anyways, mine is built and is gonna be in my showcase soon.
-
I will enter too....
-
I think I'll be joining this. Pretty original idea, though it'll spawn a HS saturated bracket.
... I think.
-
I'll join as long as the realistic rule is enforced.
-
is this just for bragging rights or will there be prizes???
-
ok there is a little debate weather to go "Realistic rules" or anything goes, basically I want to get the most people I can so ill take the majority vote
its looking like its realistic (i don't use DSL much so im not really sure of the normal tournament rules)
but I wont enforce it being over the top realistic if a blade or something strikes a battery it wont matter
so what does everybody want ?
@ russian roulette : I dont know how to make custom components, there isn't really much point in skins so I guess bragging rights and the golden cube (its just the picture lol) but if anyone wants to put up something for grabs feel welcome
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/Cube_Animation.gif)
Im really glad this has sparked so much interest, just need someone to help me out by doing the AI for little cube and I can set some dates up
-
i could help you to make a component
-
I will join,
once my copy of DSL works.
-
@ russian roulette : that would be great if you could do that :-D
-
sorry about the double post Just a new update:
little cube is now AI'd (gave me a good laugh watching the little bot trying to run away from a HS) lol and im going to post up the entry list and dates etc asap :-D,
still a little confused on weather it is going to be realistic rule as some want ... Im thinking realistic as far as components but thinks like the edges of blades going through a wheel or something is still ok, but with relistic it wipes out pretty much every glitch so yeah what is most wanted
but I wont to get the most people I can so im trying to please everyone :-D
-
Imma joininn'
Not a über-killer-gut-ripper, but a fun thing to mess with.
-
ok I have set up a site which will hold brackets, videos etc when the tournament is underway
http://www.robotarenacubes.t83.net
the home page has a poll for everyone
choose option one if you want complete realistic down to a weapon crossing the battery isn't allowed
choose option two for no limit to what can be done
choose option three for realistic rule with components (eg: no stacking) but things like a eFFe glitch or a weapons blade cuts through a wheel a bit or something similar
2 people have already sent pictures of bots to me with not absolute realistic but I would rather not turn them away so I would prefer people stay away from option 1
-
It looks like option 3 is winning. ANyways, my newest showcased bot is my bot for this. Watch out everyone.
-
Update:
Ok I just uploaded a sneak peek video of how qualifying will look, i just used default DSL AI to show you (it includes Moe lol) :-D hopefully this will draw in more people
Clash Cubes Sneak Peek Click Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrv5_6aCNz4)
crush that cube !!!!
Edit: I think i will leave voting open for the next 24 hours (should cover all time zones) so everyone has a chance for there say but at the same time it wont run on forever
-
My bots gonna do bad in qualifying.
-
How does qualifying work exactly?
EDIT: Probably going to build a shell spinner for this....
-
Sent my entry. But not for winning... if i wanted to win, i'd have entered another bot.
EDIT: Probably going to build a shell spinner for this....
That's it. You're going to win this... unless someone enters a gut ripper...
-
How does qualifying work exactly?
EDIT: Probably going to build a shell spinner for this....
CUBE not a disk or a cylnder a CUBE
-
If thats how limited your scope of a shell spinner is.... thats sad.
-
How does qualifying work exactly?
EDIT: Probably going to build a shell spinner for this....
basically that little blue bot running away, your bot has to kill it asap the quicker the kill the better the qualifying position will be, and higher qualified vs lower qualified first round, so if your bot qualified well you get an easier fight
-
What about SnSs? They relly on the opponent coming to them, thus they may not even try catch the little bot. I can see some flaws in this, though at least it is original. :)
-
its not really flawed just means your bot wont get a good qualifying position but if your prepared to sacrifice that for that type of bot its up to you, the little bot does tend to trip over if its left on the run too long, let me put it this way ... Its not made to last :evil: lol
-
16th place in qualifying, HERE I COME!
-
wow you really think so that would deserve an award since there is going to be 12 entrants lol :biggrin:
ok voting is now closed for the format with a tie between Realistic and Realistic-ish so I have decided to use the guideline click had for BBEANS4 since he always runs successful tournaments so here it is

now that is settled the rules on the first page will be changed and entry is open until the 5th of May or Until 12 Entry's (whichever comes first) those of you who sent me an entry before this post may change theirs as long as its before the cutoff line
Just PM me your entry's (as some people have) before the 5th
Happy Cube Smashing !!!! :biggrin:
-
Meh, I'm in. Interesting idea.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25407polespike_preview.bmp)The Ginsu Spike Totally unbeatable and used to easily snap off those ai replica parts that will always pisses people off
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/99698n_preview.bmp)
yes a psychosprout shell that was amped up to do damage!
-
Sounds like cool prizes...
-
Sounds like cool prizes...
thanks that would suck if i would win but i promise to give it to the runner up
-
I'll enter the new version of the robot I entered in WRL.
But does DIY AI mean that we have to do it ourselves? Because I don't know how to AI.
-
JoeBlo knows how to ai but he probably forgot to delete the you have to ai yourselves
-
im a little iffy on the AI but I did do Russian roulette's bot so I would prefer "DIY - do it yourself" but if you cant i shall do the best I can
-
im a little iffy on the AI but I did do Russian roulette's bot so I would prefer "DIY - do it yourself" but if you cant i shall do the best I can
did you get my weapons/prizes
-
yeah those are great :mrgreen: thanks for that, looks like they grabbed some more interest in the tournament, I will load them up, take a good screen shot of them and put them in a splash on page one (along with credit to you of course :-D)
-

I will :mrgreen:
-
thanks for that... though if its possible could you rescale the image its just a little big and puts the forum out of whack :-D
Edit: also put the prizes up on http://www.robotarenacubes.t83.net
-
thanks for that... though if its possible could you rescale the image its just a little big and puts the forum out of whack :-D
Edit: also put the prizes up on http://www.robotarenacubes.t83.net
only you can but ill edit the image
-
sorry I missed the "I" lol I was meaning to say "I also put the prizes up on www.robotarenacubes.t83.net" lol sorry
-
Im going to enter too, I just need to AI my entry.
Here is what it can do against the DSL remakes of the stock HWs:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43299BBB3.png)
The rest were beaten by points, 1 KO'd me and 2 beat me by points.
Im sending inside and outside pics by PM to you Joe
-
sending an early warning out to everyone are we lol, if everyone who has said they will enter so far does there is only one space left
Note: (for those who have sent me picture or showcased an entry) your name doesn't appear on the entry list until your bot is sent, this is to allow you to change your entry before you send it, but It wont mean that your place will be up for grabs unless you reach the deadline for this tournament
-
Good news,
DSL is now working fine, expect to see Box of pure win later.
-
I think I found a way to make a bot even with my virus, so I'll try.
-
so i see the e-mailing of the .bot file worked. yay! good luck ai-ing the Cube Tank, dude.
-
Mine should be sent soon. Its all AIed up.
-
I must warn you all, you will not like my entry.
And its not a SFTW.
-
Is it a crawler? :)
Also, I sent mine too.
-
I'm in, but I don't know how to AI, so I'm not sure if I can get my entry in on time.
-
I can AI it, but I warn you that it might not be Grade A AIing.
-
so i see the e-mailing of the .bot file worked. yay! good luck ai-ing the Cube Tank, dude.
yes It did :-D funny thing that zip issue ??? its all AI'd up and looking strong
Half way there with 6 Bots and 6 Spaces left
-
hmm... how strong compared to the other entries?
-
Oh NO! I forgot to send it in an e-mail! *Slaps self*
-
if your talking about your entry Urjak it arrived safe and sound to me, it was on Hydro's that didn't seem to work by pm
@Hydro: ha ha not tested it against other entry's lol but it did give poor little cube a good bashing :-D
-
oh, good. i thought it wouldn't be able to keep up...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnIeCj0Colc
yay! it worked!!!
-
that is partially true but the bot was made to trip over if its left on the run to long so the fight doesn't last the full 3 minutes,
-
good...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnIeCj0Colc
oh. i've been unintentionally redundant...
...
here, have a better one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9qra-nOFdI&feature=related
ah, why not the whole thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVH_QGLLtYw
-
I'm in, but I don't know how to AI, so I'm not sure if I can get my entry in on time.
if you get it in before the 5th (the cutoff line) I can AI it for you :-D
-
can i have the ai-ed version of mine?
i want to see how it does.
-
yeah Ill organize something after I have sorted out the other entry's (im getting some really powerful entry's... so powerful there crashing RA2 lol)
-
Yeah sorry bout that.
-
its all fine now... except I had to employ more cleaners for the arena as your bot is making a real mess of the default AI lol
-
Bro could i use new(other) components which are not used in dsl 2.0 and attach them in my bot?
and is it necessary that the bot must be cube shaped?
-
I did answer it in reply to your pm but here as well, anyone on this forum will tell you custom components cant be used in a tournament as not everyone has access to them making them "cheat parts" i wont go into too much detail but others will be able to outline what parts cant be used from DSL 2 (not sure on the complete list myself) :biggrin:
simple: what ever came with DSL 2 and or DSL 2.1 is legal
-
ok its mean i can't use components. other then on dsl.
-
erm, yes. that would be joe's point me thinks.
-
pretty much yeah, there is a few components on DSL that you cant use but like I said before don't really know the full list
-
get a FRESH stock game, install the latest DSL and whatever is in there you can use.. simple really..
-
yeah im still wondering how random non usable parts got into mine lol :-D
-
if it is still time, i'm in. send you my bot today.
-
i'm worried...
-
after a flood of pm's the last few days its all suddenly slowed lol still plenty of time (12 days) for those entrys, its just over half way at 7 completely AI'd and ready to go :-D
-
hmm... could i submit a prize idea? its a component i made this morning. i like to call it the "Electric Plow". i'd have to edit it a little, but it is pretty effective. it could perhaps maybe go to second/third place?
-
your more then welcome to submit a prize, just shot me a pm when you have it done and ill list it on the clash cubes site etc, in the case of 3 prizes I will probably do first will get to select 2 out of the 3 and runner up gets the remaining 1 :-D
-
ah. ok. i'll probably get it to you tonight.
God, i hate school.
and caffene right before bed...
-
Update:
prizes are now in the first post, including a new prize I created, The Power Cube. its a small compact cube shaped motor that spins at 5000rpm, It will be given out to each person who enters Clash Cubes :-D
Edit: yay im now a Lightweight
-
Congrats. And count me in fer shur, I've figured out a way to send my bots even though my comp isn't working too well.
-
well once you send your bot Ill add you on the entry list, R1885 said there is one in the works and possibly JoeCB1991 will enter leaving potentially ONE SPACE LEFT so anyone having thoughts about entering should think a little more as I don't think I will get enough people to expand
-
this is the prize pool as it stand now, whats given out to who will be determined once Hydro confirms his donation,
what do you mean by this? :?
-
basically of all the stuff you sent me, im waiting for you to let me know what of it you want me to offer up as prizes, then depending on that number will depend how many things first place will get to select, how much runner up can select, etc
-
hmm... the hammer and plow are the prizes... the rest (or all of them) in the Shock Pack are for you.
-
thanks again hydro, ok the prizes are now up on the first page, I will add them and descriptions to the website when I find the time :-D
-
have you tested Shockbot? if not, you should. maybe tommaro i will send a better one.
-
woo I cant wait for this to start!
-
:-D:-D:-D only 2 places left... still waiting for R1885's entry......
-
well i know my bot will do good
-
Then show it in the CCC Showcase thread.
-
^QTF^
-
2 more entry's and the splashes will be up anyways :-D
-
thats why oh and joeblo can you pm people to get them involved in the competition
-
Hey, How about posting in english once and a while? Most people here use it fluently. (Most meaning you are an exeption, tu petit mort...)
-
hey, joe, could you possibly put names with the prizes? i dont want my things i gave you to look like stock components.
-
don't worry :-D the components along with descriptions can all be found on
http:// www.robotarenacubes.t83.net
I only didn't add descriptions on the first page as it made it a bit messy
-
ah. ok.
-
Brackets all filled up now, thanks for all those who entered, Just waiting on Man Manu to send along his entry and then I can get the splashes, pics, bracket etc (all that stuff) up
@ Man Manu - just let me know if you wish to withdraw your entry and I shall open up registration for that last place
-
ha, last in.. but I'm not expecting much ^.^ i built my entry in about 5 mins but hopefully it will be a pain to most.
-
Should be building tonight but if anybody else wants to enter I will withdraw
-
looks like the games will start soon
-
Just thought I would let you know.....
russian roulette looks like this...http://myfolderz.com/pics/rr1bullet.jpg
And you spell moter.....motor.
And you spell controler.....controller
Other than that every thing looks good.....just let me know if you need anybody to pester you with small detail.
-
your talking about my teams site right
well i rushed but i will fix it soon
-
You have got to have 1 bullet to play russian roulett
HEHEHEHE.....that 454 casull would make a good one, the game would be over instantly!
-
I read about a guy who played what he called russian roulette with a machine gun to commit suicide.
Needless to say he lost.
-
^^^lol^^^
damn. dropped lasagna on my shirt...
hmm... never worn such tasty fabric...
-
^ Thanks for that interesting Piece of History ^ lol
Should be building tonight but if anybody else wants to enter I will withdraw
it looks like your the person to be lucky last entry, haven't heard from anyone else so I will await your entry :-D
-
i tut at man manu getting so much time, i built mine in about 5 mins. just throw something together ^.^ i thought you needed to submit a bot to get your name on the list.
-
normally yes, man manu did send me a bot but the link had some troubles, he kindly said he wouldn't resend if someone else wanted his position, after a few more days there was no demand for the place so im letting him fill up the bracket :-D
-
oh good. nice to see some kind-hearted people on the forum.
-
Ok sorry guys. I will send in my original entry to you Joe. Really sucks but have no more time. I've never had this much work to do in my life...
-
yeah I know how you feel Im weaving this tournement around the mountains of school work I have :-D thanks for you entry got it this time robot pics should be up asap
-
UPDATE: the bot pics are all up on This Link (http://www.robotarenacubes.t83.net) just click the little thumbnail picture and it will gave you a full view and when you done click the little white box in the top right to close full view
sorry Im in a bit of a rush so if anyone's bots are not right let me know and i will change them (urjak your updated pic is coming) since i did them all off the top of my head
-
i'm doomed...
-
Did you take off the smart zone? If you did, make sure it is there. It is a secret weapon for me.
Also
I can beat:
Bushido''s Beyatch
Cube Tank
XenoPhobik
Grey Matter
Smash Down
Lol another nub bot from me
Probably can beat:
Cubinator
Awful Red Thing fos
CUBE not a disk or a cylinder
Gonna be tough:
Afterburner
Big Bad Brother
-
ah, a perfect opportunity to ask my burning question: What is a Smart Zone and what does it do?
-
ah, a perfect opportunity to ask my burning question: What is a Smart Zone and what does it do?
it's used to AI bots such as pop-ups and hammers. anything that needs to attack the opponent in a certain direction.
-
Most likely will beat:
Bushido''s Beyatch
Cube Tank
Cubinator
Lol another nub bot from me
Close call, but still might beat:
Big Bad Brother
CUBE not a disk or a cylinder
Awful red thing fos
Smash Down
Close call, but might lose to:
Afterburner
XenoPhobik
Most likely to lost to:
SnSnSnSnS
-
i know im dead but i already won (made two of the prizes) so i didnt really care but watch out there might not be that mutch under mounted spinners but this is the one you want to watch out for
-
so... it automaticly attacks things in range?
-
@ hydro: smart zones are a component you place in a certain spot and when your opponent enters that zone the weapon fires. can't explain it any better.
@ everyone: mine is pretty slow to start but if it gets up to full speed look out, i also gave it bottom protection to annoy pop-ups and VS's and it's invertible.
-
@ hydro: smart zones are a component you place in a certain spot and when your opponent enters that zone the weapon fires. can't explain it any better.
well, that's what i wanted to know. thanks!
-
relax I made a copy of your bots and put them in the garage and took away the smart zones to make the picture look better :-D
@Hydro: I had to put a smart zone on your rams so the bot would fire them when others were near it (ie: in range)
-
my forecasts :
Match 1 : 5 vs 12 <-> SnSnSnS vs lol another ... : SnSnSnS should be a whipper, so lol will be hit on its side again and again until a hard death comes.
Match 2 : 6 vs 11 <-> Cube vs Cubinator : i thing Cubinator will loose its wheel giving a good chance to Cube.
Match 3 : 7 <-> 10 : Awful red thing From Outer Space (ie fos) vs Smash Down : i know awful (i've made it) : it is a very surprising bot, winning against killer bot and loosing against poor ones : so there ? i dunno, hope a win by points. Smashdown is well protected but lack of weapons.
Match 4 : 8 vs 9 : Xenophobic vs Grey matter : Grey matter should win, but i like Xenopobic, even if i am not sure this is THE good way to use those unloved sawblade. Xenophobic should have been a potential winner if it had a wedge.
Clash Cube winner : I think SnsSnSnS.. looks scary.
Best design : I like Big bad Brother, but i don't know if it is really reallistic, Naryar jobs is always well finished too.
-
lol been doing my head in over the error messages I was getting when AI'ing Man Manu's bot only to find that there was a double space between "bot" and "from" which caused the issue lol phew
urjak your bot picture has been updated on http:// www.robotarenacubes.t83.net
each bot has been given a few test runs at the little cube to ensure all is well before recording, based on this I have a prediction for where the robots will quailify
Afterburner 2 - a good quick wammer, one of my predictions for top qualifier
Bushido's Beyatch - good weaponry, should qualify in the top 6
Cube Tank - very dangerous should it corner a robot, could qualify quite well
Big Bad Brother - very strong robot but an SnS in qualifying may not be the quickest
CUBE not a disk or a cylinder - a quick killer, easily one hit kill the little cube expecting a top 6 qualify
Awful red thing fos - interesting but the Whipping could take up a bit of time in qualifying
XenoPhobik III - good speed, closes in on other robots quite fast, a likely top 6
Grey Matter - will send the Little Cube sky high, entertaining run is expected
Smash Down - this is one of my predictions for top qualifier, fast and dangerous
Cubinator - could make mince meat of the Little Cube
SnSnSnSnS - another SnS, one to watch in the head to head battles but SnS in qualifying takes time
Lol another nub bot from me - no joke with this prediction, looking at top 3 qualify from this one
phew working on the videos soon, were in the final countdown before qualifying :-D
-
Predictions !
Afterburner 2: Wammer. Very fast, might be the best wedges of the tourney again, however unlike some of my lighter wammers the weapons aren't very damaging for a HW. Also an Omni, so be prepared for pinning...
Bushido's Beyatch: Someone doesn't knows to build even a decent HS... Second SFTW though Hydro's is worse.
Cube Tank: Pathetic SFTW. That is all.
Big Bad Brother: Ungrippy wheel fail. It IS realistic, and overall a decent SnS - i have a MW design like that. We'll see how it fares.
SnSSnSSnS: What an original name. A pretty nice bot in overall though.
CUBE not a disk or a cylinder: Another nice bot, however not as good as i expected from a shell spinner specialist.
Awful red thing from outer space: Ungrippy exposed wheel fail. Still a good bot - let's see if it's as deadly as AGTFOS, and probably less of a yawnfest...
XenoPhobik III: A decent sawbot that critically misses a wedge and saw protection. Excellent damage potential however - we'll see if it helps.
Gray Matter: Why the heck does every DSL tournament has a Mako clone in it ? A decent bot that can get some wins - could be much better though.
Smash Down: One of the best bots in the competition, but it is flawed by weak weapons and unefficient armor.
Cubinator: Ungrippy wheel fail. A really average bot overall... Somebody's SnS/HS hybrid is a better design.
Lol another nub bot from me: Not a nub bot neither a SFTW. Ungrippy wheel fail again, but it has a wedge, Etek drive and a lot of irons... and these will help. Can get some wins unless it fights a wedge... heck, i can even see this beating my Afterburner.
-
Bushido's Beyatch: Someone doesn't knows to build even a decent HS... Second SFTW though Hydro's is worse.
Cube Tank: Pathetic SFTW. That is all.
[
You're a hard boy Nar (not that you look like Rocco Siffredi, i dunno), but what a mercy killer you do !
Big Bad Brother: Ungrippy wheel fail. It IS realistic
Yes indeed, i thought the disks were spinning, but looking at the showcase, they do not -> so it is reallistic -> good base for future bots.
-
SnSnSnSnS stands for Sit and Spin and Spin and Spin and Spin.
Is Cubinator an SnS/HS hybrid or just an HS?
-
um just off the top of my head it was a HS but then I got given an AI update making it and SnS/HS hybrid :-D
-
You're a hard boy Nar (not that you look like Rocco Siffredi, i dunno), but what a mercy killer you do !
Eeer... i don't understand at all...
SnSnSnSnS stands for Sit and Spin and Spin and Spin and Spin.
O RLY ?
Is Cubinator an SnS/HS hybrid or just an HS?
I'm pretty sure it's a SnS hybrid. It would be dumb to build a rear spinner like that on a pure blooded HS.

So when should the Qualifying be up?

@ people who worry I don't have a wedge: Xenophobic is supposed to ride over wedges and grind them off. Not sure how well that will work here though.

I am fairly pressed with work at the moment (still squeezing in time to visit GTM) but I will start working on the videos over the next few days and hoping to have qualifying up by the end of the week :-D

CUBE not a disk or a cylinder: Another nice bot, however not as good as i expected from a shell spinner specialist.
Believe me when I say this, a shell spinner with a square chassis is next to impossible to do in a way I would like. I prefer circular chassis which house the motor due to more HP and MUCH more stability. I am not very proud of CUBE not a disk or a cylinder as a shell spinner.

i'm doomed... so doomed...

Thats the prize for entering a SFTW.

Update: the qualifying is all done, just editing the videos now before I put them up (take out all the rubbish before the battle etc) and then post it up
PS: there was a few surprises in the top part of the field :-D
