Forum:Robot Arena 2 - Robot Wars Wiki (Series 2)

It doesn't look like this will be starting anytime in the near future, I'm declaring this cancelled indefinitely. If anyone else who has Robot Arena 2 would like to take over hosting this, just say the word and I'll leave it in your hands. But I have no plans to keep this going; I have a number of other Robot Wars projects that I would rather be doing. Sorry to disappoint. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.

New Name
Robot Arena 2 - Robot Wars Wiki is much too long. Can anyone brainstorm a better idea?


 * How about Avatar War? Avatar is defined as "representation", which is essentially what we're doing, right?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:22, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I like Robot Wars, Wiki Wars-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  09:00, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I like the sound of Avatar Wars, maybe Battle of the Editors? Llamaman201 (talk) 18:33, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * i like Llama's suggestion.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  19:55, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd back SM's if mine doesn't go ahead. Just Wiki Wars, though.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  21:03, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wiki Wars sounds catchier to me.  ManU Crazy   (talk)  15:16, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I don't have the game! I can't get involved!
Never fear. If you don't have RA2, simply say a Robot Wars robot you'd like to enter and wouldn't be too hard for us to replicate. To make it easier for us, choose one that you know we have already made. Post a few second choices too; not every replica is doable.

Rules

 * The arena will be the Lu-Tze arena with hazards off.
 * No robots already replicated in DSL can be replicated.
 * Replicas can be made with DSL or Stock Components. AI and cheatbot2 parts are allowed as well.
 * No custom components.
 * Robots not replicated in DSL but had their components made cannot be replicated either. Examples of this include Fluffy (Due to Fluffy's blade).
 * Replicas may not have more weapons than its original counterpart. Offenses include covering a robot in spikes that it didn't have, or equipping a flywheel with more teeth than the original had.

HW

 * RA2: I'm going to kick it off by requesting heavyweight again, as I'd like to enter with Conquering Clown, who had technical issues and had to pull out of the Gametechmods tourney, and never got a chance to be on screen R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas. ( My Talk ) 04:56, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Gutripper: Its polite to involve him, I believe, so I emailed him. His choice was Little Fly, if thats do-able?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:18, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * TG: My top 4 favourites are in the DSL, so I'll naturally go with the next highest - Black Hole. I've seen you have one already, so we can lock it in.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:18, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Helloher: RA2, you've gotta use Conquering Clown, hat thing is beautiful. I'll make something at some point.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  08:43, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * CBFan: Going to go for a more aggresive combatant this time....can you try for Tut Tut? CBFan (talk) 09:37, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's quite funny CBFan. One of my conceptual designs last time was Tut Tut. Let's just say it didn't work out. I'll try again though.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  09:54, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just made it and sent it to Helloher/GK to skin.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  11:58, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Zoggy: I might go for this tournament. I'll enter Mortis please.
 * Read the top. You need to be a wiki contributer.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  11:59, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Christophee: Although I am absolutely terrible at creating robots on this game, I am going to have a go at making one for this tournament. I'm thinking of doing something simple but other than that I haven't really thought too much about it. I'll get back to you with my choice. Christophee (talk) 16:14, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Remember it's just DSL/stock components.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  16:33, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. Does anybody have any suggestions for robots that would be fairly easy to replicate but wouldn't just lose terribly? I'm trying to think of one but I don't have many ideas. Christophee (talk) 16:37, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Cunning Plan? Thyrus 17:08, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Kat 3?  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  17:21, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Either Saw Point?-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  17:42, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Surely Cunning Plan would have no chance on this game, although it would be very easy to make. I'll experiment with a few ideas. Christophee (talk) 17:49, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why not try Disconstructor? Its simple, and it could be destructive. Moreover, it missed out on last tournament.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  21:06, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

I have a few ideas for robots that I'm going to attempt to build, but in case it goes horribly wrong I was wondering whether RA2's Bamm Bamm replica is eligible for this tournament as I would quite like to use it if I fail to make a good replica myself. Christophee (talk) 14:54, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas. ( My Talk ) 15:37, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I'm going with Splinter. I'm in the process of building it now (with a little bit of help from RA2) and it should be ready soon. Christophee (talk) 15:00, March 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Llamaman201: I'd like Ripper (S7 of course) please. Is that too hard to make? Llamaman201 (talk) 18:39, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can probably make that. No garuntees though.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  08:08, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * As nothing has been said, and the fact I didn't have a backup choice. If Ripper is too hard, then Crusader 2? Llamaman201 (talk) 18:18, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not good at all at building robots, so I'd like Revenge of Trouble and Strife (S7), with Corkscrew (S6) as my second choice, please.  ManU Crazy   (talk)  15:20, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * ManUCrazy: I've just got this game, and I might build a robot for the competition. ManUCrazy 18:41, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Picnic Attack: Will almost certainly enter. I'll speak to him tomorrow and see if he wants a replica made or will make it himself.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  19:55, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * As RA2 knows, he is entering Tricerabot.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  17:20, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Competitors
This is the space for naming which replica you'll be doing/asking some with Robot Arena 2 to do. Since the tourney is so small, I'd like it if everyone who entered in Series 1, entered with a different robot this time.

With RA2

 * RA2 - Conquering Clown - AI'ed
 * SM - The Spider - Requires Component skinning and AI'ing
 * Thyrus - Spawn Again Done. Needs a last modification on it`s painjob. Spawn Again for RWW2

Without RA2

 * Gutripper - Little Fly - RA2 has made
 * Toon Ganondorf - Black Hole - AI'ed
 * CBFAN - Tut Tut - SquirrelMonkey has made.
 * Which one do you prefer CB? http://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45060tada.png or http://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74640Tut%20Tut.PNG
 * I'm not actually sure what the difference between them is, to be honest....sorry. CBFan (talk) 18:25, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * One has an unrealistic bar added to the back to add weight on the axe.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  18:36, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK....in that case, that one. CBFan (talk) 21:29, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * In fact I've improved it even more now so it's heavier and jumps around less.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  08:41, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Format
The target number of entries is 12, and we could potentially hit 16. However, if we have a perfect square, that means straight elimination, and no losers' bracket. Is everyone ok with this? '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 19:01, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would like a losers bracket-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  19:07, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * You always do.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  22:27, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

To be frank, I don't really feel like doing an entire bracket. A few losers' melees are fine, but an entire bracket is just so time-consuming. At any rate, we have 11 of the 12, and I'll probably hear back from #12 soon, so we could just close it there.

Byebots
This is the section for proposing

If we need one I've just made General Carnage 2.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  10:16, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. Llamaman201 (talk) 11:41, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

I'm in the development stages of a replica of Predator. Anyone interested in having it as a byebot if and when it's done? '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 21:21, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I remember you talking about that on GTM. I'd love to see it.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  21:25, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd prefer byebots that don't win battles. Therefore, I'd prefer Predator to General Carnage 2.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  21:54, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here, Here lol! *mutters something about Plunderbird* Llamaman201 (talk) 10:59, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Plunderbird was entered to loose ;) Thyrus 12:49, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * How is Genaral Carnage 2 going to win a battle, its wedge fails.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  14:04, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so I've built Predator, but it's almost 200 kilos overweight, and uses a custom competent (the rake hands). Neither of these factors helps its performace particularly, is it ok with everyone to look the other way? '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 07:58, February 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ahhhhhh! RA2! You're cheating! Go right ahead, I'll look t'other way.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  08:36, February 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas. ( My Talk ) 06:06, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nice replica! Llamaman201 (talk) 11:15, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'd said in another thread that it was something I'd wanted to do before I died, and people probably thought I was joking.  R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 17:11, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Reserve Rumble
Anyone with at least 100 edits in Mainspace and File combined may enter. Byebots can be used here to make up the numbers. '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 23:52, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Without RA2

 * Headbanger14 - Cyclone (RA2 will do)
 * Hogwild94 - Daisy Cutter (RA2 will do)
 * Rammingspeed - Hodaf the Bad
 * TheNumber3Seed - Weld-Dor 2
 * Obi-Have- Is this still something that is going to be done, because no-one's posted for ages! If it is still going, I know RA2 has a Barry replica, I would like that please :)
 * ShotgunJustice I know I only have about 55 edits, but when I reach the critera, I'll choose Wolverine.

Wish I could enter, hopefully I can reach that criteria soon. *goes to begin editing stuff*

However, if I do get to that stage, I will most likely enter with the Series 7 version of Sabre Tooth that failed to qualify, if that's allowed. (and I will me making it myself, BTW) --Badnik96 20:00, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Grudges
Another idea for a halftime event, suggest a grudge match between 2 robots from last Series of Wiki Wars. Please note that I will only consider doing grudge matches between pairs that have not battled each other; you saw Alien and Killer Carrot go at it; it's pretty obvious that most battles have the same result every time.

 * Maybe Iron Awe 2.1 vs Pulverizer  ManU Crazy   (talk)  02:00, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can GBH 2 fight Mousetrap? I'd like to see if front-hinged flippers actually work, because GBH's fights showed a distinct lack of anything resembling a flip.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  05:37, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Disc-O-Inferno vs Delldog. I'd like to see.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  06:01, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with Disc-o-inferno vs. Delldog Thyrus 06:23, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Disco and Delldog sounds good, I would like to see if Scorpion can beat Big Cheese. Surely it can't lose against both Byebots??? Llamaman201 (talk) 14:36, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Alien vs PulveriseR-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  16:56, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, looks like the mob wants Disco vs Delldog. If you guys can come to a concensus on one more, that's be cool. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 17:43, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * What about X-Terminator vs. Iron Awe 2? I`d like to see it X-Terminators srimech works. Thyrus 19:47, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
