| + | |
| + | |
| + | == Tournament Running / Involvement == |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | *'''Clash Cubes -''' JoeBlo first created the DSL Heavyweight tournament called Clash Cubes in April. The tournament was innovative in the fact that the main restriction was that fact all of the entrants' chassis had to be cube shaped. The tournament was a little slow starting out but after it was completed interest towards JoeBlo's tournaments was improved greatly. |
| + | |
| + | *'''Clash Cubes 2 -''' JoeBlo ran a follow-up to [[Clash Cubes]] which was one of the few [[SuperHeavyWeight]] tournaments in existence. The sheer announcement of it spawned a lot of showcased SHW's. Several people wanted to join after entries were closed, The tournament debuted a "Wild Card" system for the last 6 robots fighting for the last place of the 24 available for the tournament. The concept is now frequently used in other tournaments. |
| + | |
| + | *'''Clash Cubes 3 -''' The third, [[MW]] version to complete the trilogy was the biggest yet. Almost every active DSL Builder in the community at the time built a robot for the tournament, JoeBlo in the end receiving 40 entries and for the first time entering himself, The final total of 41 entrants was the highest tournament size at the time, only surpassed now by [[BBEANS 6]]. CC3 Featured a brand new arena JoeBlo and [[Madiaba]] had worked on with moving walls, constantly changing the environment from enclosed to tabletop. |
| + | |
| + | *'''Clash Cubes 4 -''' Was never originally planned but was brought back by popular demand, The tournament is currently in progress and features a brand new Clash Cubes arena and an entry list of 60 which has taken the record of second largest DSL tournament from Clash Cubes 3. |
| + | |
| + | *'''RODE Tribute Tournament -''' JoeBlo assisted in filming videos for MetalikVyper's tournament The RODE Tribute Tournament due to a few robots that were refusing to work periodically on various Robot Arena versions. |
| + | |
| + | *'''[[King Of Karnage]] -''' a new tournament JoeBlo completed in late 2009, a difference from most tournaments is that it is a jousting tournament using the Legendary [[Lu-Tze]]'s Jousting Arena. |
| + | |
| + | *'''[[Doomed Bots]] -''' A tournament run by [[Doomkiller]], JoeBlo made the brackets, arena and prizes for the tourney. JoeBlo also helped with the filming by doing the loser bracket. |
| + | |
| + | *'''Epic Showdown -''' A small series of grudge matches between [[Pwnator]] & [[Ounce]] versing [[Naryar]] (with him submitting two robots). The concept was sparked by [[Ounce]] posting his Juggler defeating one of Naryars followed by the post by [[Pwnator]] "I hope both of our bots can beat Nary's", then Naryar boldly accepted the challenge which he then lost, winning one fight and losing three. |
| + | |
| + | *'''USA vs UK -''' [[Zog]]'s original tournament idea for replicas from the USA circuit taking on Replicas from the UK robot combat circuit. after signups Zog ran into multiple problems and ultimately decided he was not ready to host a tournament. Using Zog's idea and the original entrants, JoeBlo took the tournament and put the videos out at a quick rate. |
| + | |
| + | == Modifications Directing / Involvement == |
| + | |
| + | *'''CCAI -''' JoeBlo created the Clash Cubes AI pack which was not be like a traditional AI pack but rather a pack for people to see how there bots would have fared against others they didnt face or test new creations for future Clash Cubes events, |
| + | |
| + | *'''CCAI 2 -''' The follow up to CCAI, production was postponed due to the surge in AI packs being put out in the community at the time, expected to go into re-production after CCIV |
| + | |
| + | *'''RA2: Backlash -''' is a standalone RA2 version that amps up the damage, speed and power of motors, drive, weapons, etc and reduces the HP and fracture of everything, thus making it really destructive. the Game is targeted at spinner robots and as a result are the only legal bot type, at the current stage JoeBlo has constructed 9 new arenas, 31 new components and a completely new UI including Music and new sound effects for this mod. |
| + | |
| + | == Notable Robots == |
| + | |
| + | '''[[The Iron Outlaws]] -''' A swarm of Robots that act as a single middleweight, the robots are all identical except for the weapon system on the end of an internal DDT, JoeBlo could then specify which will compete in a match essentially having a robot with interchangeable weaponry. It is noted as the first of its kind to enter an AI tournament. (Doomed Bots) |
| + | |
| + | '''Servo Boosting Series -''' starting as an expansion on the work by [[Firebeetle]] on Gyratory Revolt, JoeBlo has discovered various forms of Servo boosting robots and has since been known for using servo motors in building, for further reading see [[Servo Boosting]] |
| + | |
| + | '''Chocolate Series -''' The gimmick started out with JoeBlo's BOTM entry "Chocolate" "The Tasty Fullbody Hammer" much to JoeBlo's surprise the concept was well liked by the community spawning a series of DSL counterparts that were entered in [[The Amazing Rage]] |
| + | |
| + | '''Pyro/ Octane Series -''' More Exploit work and a general love of fire from JoeBlo, a series of flamethrower robots, mostly SnS and Shell Spinners that utilized a range of Flamethrower strategies, for further reading see [[Octane Glitch]] |
| + | |
| + | '''Strafe Series -''' Robots that utilized a strafe strategy incorporated with normal movement to dodge others, was first present on JoeBlo's robot "Crossfire" but made its first public appearance on Sage and JoeBlo's BOTM winning "Blitzkrieg" |
| + | |
| + | '''Road Series -''' Perhaps the less unique series of JoeBlo's but growing to be well known for the crossed weapons set up on rammers, "T-Road 4" was the joint winner of Tag Tam Tornado with Naryar's robot Crown of Teeth. The name came from a term to describe a 3 way junction, adapted to the robot becasue it was intended to stop those that go straight forward into it. |
