Tournament Running / Involvement

Clash Cubes - JoeBlo first created the DSL 2.1 Heavyweight tournament called Clash Cubes in April. The tournament was unique 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 was improved.

Clash Cubes 2 - JoeBlo ran a follow-up to Clash Cubes a DSL 2.1 Superheavyweight tournament. The tournament used a "Wild Card" system for the last 6 robots fighting for the last place of the 24 available for the tournament.

Clash Cubes 3 - The third, DSL 2.1 MW version 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. 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 - The tournament features a brand new Clash Cubes arena and an entry list of 60

RODE Tribute Tournament - JoeBlo assisted in filming videos for MetalikVyper's tournament The RODE Tribute Tournament.

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.

Mods

CCAI - JoeBlo created the Clash Cubes AI pack which was a release of the tornaments entrants.

Stock 1.4 Patch - Compiled other patches, the AI parts and some bug fixes along with the previously hidden 140cm square extender into a single .exe patch update (and was later just uploaded as a ready to run version)

DSL 2.1 Compressor Arena Fix - A small patch fix made to correct the AI error in the compressor arena, now just part of the ready to run 2.1

Notable Robots

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

Blitzkrieg - Sage and JoeBlo's BOTM winning "Blitzkrieg" featuring a nicely made weapons system by sage with an omni directional drive made by JoeBlo

-'''CFTW -''' Cube from the West is a Lightweight joke robot that was built for various uses in [[Clash Cubes]], the look and name is a parody from the "legendary" [[Spinner from the West]]. Basically a small cube with 2 [[Shiny Hubs]] and a chewblade just like the real SFTW. Recently JoeBlo entered it in a match with Life Robot Arena2's Super Heavyweight robot [[COID]] which in a humorous outcome won. CFTW was well received by the community.
+== Mods ==

+*'''CCAI -''' JoeBlo created the Clash Cubes AI pack which was a release of the tornaments entrants.
-'''Hypno Blender -''' A robot that was entered in the first round of Brawl of the Builders. noted for being a robot that could man handle others with wedges while not having any of its own, despite beating Sage first round the robot was withdrawn because of a strange collision mesh related fault when it lost an external Z-Tek thus dropping out round 1 which meant Sage progressed.
+*'''Stock 1.4 Patch -''' Compiled other patches, the AI parts and some bug fixes along with the previously hidden 140cm square extender into a single .exe patch update (and was later just uploaded as a ready to run version)

+*'''DSL 2.1 Compressor Arena Fix -''' A small patch fix made to correct the AI error in the compressor arena, now just part of the ready to run 2.1
-'''Death By Angles -''' otherwise known as the "Controversial Number 2" an Antweight robot that won bot of the month for June 2009 by a rather large voting landslide however was one of the most controversial to win as the robot utilized YU AI Hammers which the rules stated AI parts were legal but there was no specifics to what couldn't be used so JoeBlo was handed the win
+== Notable Robots ==

-'''Natural High -''' A stock middleweight Pop-Up entered in RODE, was underestimated due to having static wedges but managed to win the first round rumble (which included 2 snapper wedged bots), the match was determined to be Void as the match was found to be filmed in DSL. However Natural High was victorious in the rematch and progressed to the RODE final which Natural High then won.
-[[Image:Naturalhigh.PNG]]
-'''[[The Iron Outlaws]] -''' A swarm of Robots that act as a middleweight, basically the robots are all identical except for the weapon system on the end of an internal DDT, JoeBlo can then specify which will compete in a match essentially having a robot with interchangeable weaponry. while it has yet to be seen how effective it it will be, it is noted as it is the first of its kind to enter an AI tournament.
-[[Image:ironoutlaw.PNG]]
-'''Gyratory Reborn -''' an expansion on the work by [[Firebeetle]] on Gyratory Revolt, the robot is basically a giant spinning top that is powered by servos, under servo power it will constantly accelerate like the original Gyratory Revolt however JoeBlo also discovered that under no servo power the bot would still accelerate but at the pace of a perm. Gyratory Reborn is currently entered along side JoeBlo's other bot Gyratory Minion in 1 vs 2.
-[[Image:Gyratoryreborn.PNG]]
-'''Synergy -''' another of JoeBlo's break through [[Servo Boosting]] bots this time a spinning disc powered by a servo creates a glitch that causes all the servos Synergy used for drive to accelerate like an E-Tek making it a killer SnS without the need for batteries.
