New York Subway

The New York Subway is one of the eight playable arenas in the PC and Xbox versions of Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction. It features two CPZ's, housing Shunt, Sergeant Bash and Sir Killalot respectively. Interestingly, Sir Killalot's CPZ is not located in the corner of the arena.

Appearance and Hazards
The arena is based upon a typical subway waiting area, with a sense of vandalism and uncleanliness. The arena is much wider than its length, and features four rows of seating in the center of the stage. Robots can drive inbetween this seating, but their movement will be restricted due to a lack of space.

The arena features multiple hazards, the most prominent of which are the trains that can drive along the tracks at either end of the stage. The trains will either travel straight past the arena at high speed, causing an instant Chassis Failure to any robot that makes contact with it, or they will stop and open their doors. If the door to a train has opened, a robot can enter the train, where they can continue battling. However, if the doors then close with a robot trapped inside, the robot will be carried away from the arena boundaries and will class as defeated.

Another hazard of the arena are its set of two turnstiles. If a robot drives into a turnstile, it will spin rapidly and push the robot far away from it.

The stage also features two sets of escalators. While one escalator conveys downward, making it impossible to drive up, the other escalator conveys upward. If a robot is carried to the top of the escalator, it will be considered as out of the arena. Interestingly, there is a clock mounted on the wall at the end of the escalator, but this cannot be seen without the usage of a glitch or a hacked camera.

The arena features one more hazard, though this is considered relatively harmless. If a robot drives into the vending machine situated near the seating, it will shoot a canned drink out of it. This canned drink cannot damage a robot, but can potentially slow a robot down or obstruct it.
