That should be all you need, make sure you replace the URL for all 3 instances. The default Robocode install should come with the correct URLs now.

A couple of things. One, the URLs no longer have "/rumble/" like the used to. Removing that fixed the URLs. Also, it appears the accepted clients are now 1.8.1.0 and 1.8.2.0. It appears the 1.7.3.x clients are no longer accepted. I'll have to check, but the 1.8 Robocode clients may require Java 1.7. Guess I'll find out in the next few days. I'll try to update this page, but I am kind of learning as I go to figure it all out.

I updated the "From standard Robocode" section. Additional updates are required to bring the page up to date. Someone needs to bring all the superpack info up to date. I'm not personally up to date on what superpacks are available. If no one else updates it, I'll get it figured out in a few days and update it.

I'm sure the "major.minor" thing has come up before, but I didn't find it in a quick search.

Yikes! We're only supposed to require Java 6. And in the past I've removed bots from the rumble for requiring Java 7 and put a note on the participants page for those bots. But with that many, I wonder if it's time for us to just say to use Java 7?

At this point, I'd note that Java 6 is no longer being maintained for security fixes, and has outstanding exploits against it so... better be upgrading to Java 7 for other reasons.
