[Sage]

MAKE A LW CUBEZORZ

OMG JEEZUS YES

[Jonzu95]

Hmm... Back to the Building shed. After my Pulsefailures, I haven't manage to do anything home?..

[Jonzu95]

I mean, good.

[FOTEPX]

I share your pain, bro. I have a cube Angled Juggler, but I can't enter it cause it F**KING HAVOKS LIKE A DYSFUNCTIONAL MADMAN ON CRACK

[JoeBlo]

well that was silly


I just realized the amount of byes is the same in a 48 bot bracket and 64 bot bracket (with only 48 entrants)

so in that case it will be a 64 bot bracket to ensure nobody missing out if they didnt vote in the poll.

[NFX]

You could have 3-way matches at some point if it's a 48-bot bracket.

[JoeBlo]

no, it will only ever be 1 on 1 

[NFX]

Ah, so you need the entrant count to be a power of 2. Maybe qualifiers coud dictate which 16 proceed automatically to round 2?

[JoeBlo]

umm... welcome to the world outside of the rock you have been living under :P

that was always the point of qualifying XD

[NFX]

THE SUNLIGHT BURNS MY FACE =O

Yeah, I originally thought of a seeding system based on previous form, but then I guessed that might be a bit unfair.

[JoeBlo]

CC3 aside

CC1 and CC2 held qualifying to determine who gets Byes.. same deal for CCIV 

[R0B0SH4RK]

Well 9 pages and I haven't noticed this :O

I'll try to get something built. WHATEVER IT IS IT WILL BE AWESOME.

[JoeBlo]

Yay 

[Zog]

I think that this tourney is some of the long forgotten Veterans' comeback...

[JoeBlo]

Sagey can you tell Infy to get of his butt and enter this :P

he said back in CC2 "SHW, I'll pass but maybe next time"

[Naryar]

Sagey can you tell Infy to get of his butt and come back to the forums :P

[JoeBlo]

few rule tweaks..

This is just the same reason as Click posted this for BBEANS 6, no doubt Clash Cubes will be a high demand tournament, so to get you all ready, since the sign up rules mean only 1 month max open.

ENTRIES RECEIVED BEFORE SIGN UPS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  If I get bots before signups officially open, I will just delete them and you'll have to re-send your entry. (hehe copy and pasted from Click)


Weight:


Its going to be DSL 2.1 Lightweight, Bots can weigh no more then 249.0kg.


Construction:

Realism Rules

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 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 Chassis 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 and only achieve a means of what would be normally possible.

Smartzones   may be used including custom ones(so long as you send along the files)   however they may only be used for the purposes of AIing no other use will   be excepted.

No BFE or AAM everything must be done inside the bot lab with exception to chassis skinning.

All Robots Must Show Controlled Movement.

My Skirt hinge collision fix will be utilized in this tournament rendering "Narmour" useless.


Multibot/Clusterbot:


Multibots or Clusterbots are allowed if you wish to make one, the rules are...

Limited to 2 robots only.

both parts must be in the same weight class (including AW and BW)

both parts combined must not exceed 249kg.

the whole robot will be eliminated if 50% of the weight is knocked out.


Format:


The arena will be The Clash Cubes IV Arena (which will be shown soon)

The format will be basic this time around, A 64 Robot Double Elimination Bracket.

All matches will be 3 matches at a limit of 2mins each.

All 3 matches will be ran even if a robot wins the first 2


AI


as said before custom .py's are not an issue otherwise please specify what   .py you wish me to use if you are not able to AI yourself (if you can   please do)

if you do not know the best AI give me a brief description of what you want it to do and I will work out a suitable one   for your needs (Image removed from quote.)

if there is an AI issue you may dispute it if you have some evidence and can explain the issue, in a calm mature manor, in the case its found to have effected the match outcome it will be re-filmed.

any disputing on no grounds *cough LRA2 cough* or straight out immature complaining will see you kicked out of Clash Cubes and stripped of all ranking data (KO's, W/L record, etc)

These are the rules, they can not change
