*'''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.

The concept is now frequently used in other tournaments.

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

 

'''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.
