that's true. afaik the RumbleSuperPack contains everything you need to run that, but i don't know whether the RumbleSuperPack is still available...

It is fairly easy to do yourself. Modify or copy and edit roborumble.sh to point to Gigarumble config, i.e. make something like

#!/bin/sh
pwd=`pwd`
cd "${0%/*}"
java -Xmx1024M  -Djava.awt.headless=true -cp libs/robocode.jar:libs/roborumble.jar:libs/codesize-1.1.jar roborumble.RoboRumbleAtHome ./roborumble/GigaRumble.txt
cd "${pwd}"

Create 'roborumble/GigaRumble.txt' with the following content and change the 'USER'

#===============================================================================
# GigaRumble..txt - Configuration file for GigaRumble (1v1 battles)
#===============================================================================

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Username. It's highly recommendable that you change this to use your name
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# USER      The username used when uploading the results to the RoboRumble
#           server. Hence, you should replace 'Put_Your_Name_Here' with your
#           name, which could be the initials you use for your robot(s).

USER=Put_Your_Name_Here

# Exclude filter used for excluding participants. Use with care!
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# EXCLUDE   A comma separated list of all the participants you want to exclude
#           from the competition. Excluded participants will not be downloaded
#           or take part in battles. This way you can exclude participants that
#           cannot be downloaded due to web servers that are down or hanging,
#           the repository is down, robots/teams that crashes for some reason or
#           cause other trouble. 
#
#           You can use the filename wildcards * and ? in the filter. Example:
#
#           EXCLUDE=xyz.*v1.?, *Nano*

# Properties to control the way battles are run 
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# RUNONLY   If left black or set to GENERAL, a new battle file is created where
#           robots from the participants file are paired at random. The number
#           of robot pairs will match number of battles defined the NUMBATTLES
#           property. 
#
#           If set to MINI, a new battle file is created similar to the one
#           for GENERAL, but it will only contains robots that are MiniBots,
#           which has a code size < 1500 bytes (calculated by the codesize tool).
#
#           If set to MICRO, a new battle file is created similar to the one
#           for GENERAL, but it will only contains robots that are MicroBots,
#           which has a code size < 750 bytes (calculated by the codesize tool).
#
#           If set to NANO, a new battle file is created similar to the one for
#           GENERAL, but it will only contains robots that are NanoBots, which
#           has a code size < 250 bytes (calculated by the codesize tool).
#
#           If set to SERVER (recommended), a new battle file is created which
#           will first of all contain priority battles for robots that that has
#           priority over other robots until they have fought a specific number
#           of battles specified by the BATTLESPERBOT property. The number of
#           battles fought by the individual robots are extracted from the
#           rating files, which are downloaded from the server if the DOWNLOAD
#           property is set to YES. When no more priority battles are left,
#           robots from the participants file are paired at random similar to
#           GENERAL.
#
# BATTLESPERBOT
#           The number of battles a robot has to fight before it will no longer
#           have priority over other robots in battles. Prioritizing a robot
#           makes its rating more reliable faster as its number of fought
#           battles increases faster than when it is not prioritized.

nanoGigaRumble ? Are you kidding?

I think giga rumble is very different from the general rumble. We should try to find the official one

Tomorrow I will check an older unused computer for the stuff, have been away from home for a few days, so no possibility to run the rumble. Plus I think that the file looks more like TeamRumble, no weightclass f.e.

The only important line is

PARTICIPANTSURL=http://robowiki.net/wiki/RoboRumble/Participants/GigaRumble&action=raw

The rest is just renaming of temporary files to avoid clashing with melee and roborumble if you run it in the same directory. At least similar renaming worked for MeleeTop30 which I use to run.

This file is destroying minirumble. You should remove

MINIBOTS=minirumble
MICROBOTS=microrumble
NANOBOTS=nanorumble

for it to work.
