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

Potential Idea
How about the winer of this series fights X-Terminator to see who's best?  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  15:57, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Great idea, although nothing will defeat the might X-Terminator! We could even have a mini All-Stars event feturing the top 2, 3 or 4 robots from each competition. Christophee (talk) 16:16, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why not making Tag Team matches with the users entering wit theire series 1 and series 2 entry as team? Thyrus 16:13, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Stagfish
Can I ask why he gets an entry into this tournament? He's got a grand total of 26 edits, 4 of which were to his user page, and his only new article was of horrendous quality. We had a policy for this, and since users like Liam, Deadbotuliza and TheNumber3Seed are ineligible, why does Stagfish get a free shot?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  08:27, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * What happens if you reach the 500 edit mark before April? Can you be allowed to participate?-- Deadbot uliza   (talk)  08:35, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * You may miss this one. However, the sooner you make the deadline, the better for you. Just look through the edits done after yours and note what you need to do to prevent people having to "cleanup" afterwards.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  08:40, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * He was talking to RA2 on GTM, and I inferred that RA2 was letting him in. This is what stagfish sent me and SM this morning:

''Hi Stag, I am really sorry, but since the Robot Wars Wiki Series is primarily for Robot Wars Wiki users, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to take part. There is a limited amount of space, and it's only fair that I ask the regular contributors first.''

''However, if there is a vacancy left over after that, I will glady have you, but would you consider entering with something besides Killertron? It's nothing against your replica, I love it, but I see that you've also entered it in US vs UK, and you will have a lot more fun if you enter a different bot into each competition. I am not going to force you, but the main goal is just to have fun.''

Cheers -SR

 * Persoanlly, I think that if we're going to have the rule, we should stick to it without exceptions (except for letting competitors from the last tournament back in, which I think is fair). I have nothing against Stagfish and I realise that I am not in charge of this tournament, but I agree with TG that there is no reason why he should be allowed to enter. Christophee (talk) 15:34, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

I never intended to let Stag just waltz in, he just found it on his own, and ignored the rules. Assuming everyone from last time enters, plus Gutripper we only have 11 people eligible, which is why I was considering allowing some people without sufficient edits to participate. However, if we cap it at 12 entries, I will not be able to admit Stagfish. How about this; anyone who wants to enter but doesn't meet the quota can take part in a Reserve Rumble?

 * Picnic Attack wants to enter again.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  17:30, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, that's 11 confirmed. What do we do about the last slot?  And do you have any objections to a Revesrve Rumble? R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk )


 * I guess if Deadbotuliza is eligible by May, then he can enter, but if not, a byebot. ManUCrazy 17:50, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Reserve Rumble is a great idea, although we might get more than four entries from people who do not meet the edit criteria. Maybe we could let one extra person into the main competition, but it should be the person who's closest to having enough edits. Christophee (talk) 18:43, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree, if there is one place left give it to whoever comes closest to the minimum posts.-- Squirrel Monkey   (talk)  19:09, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * If entries are still being accepted for the Reserve Rumble, I have gone past 100 mainspace edits. Should I put down my entry here or somewhere else?--TheNumber3Seed 14:07, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, do it here.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  14:11, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK then, I was planning in entering Weld-Dor 2, it looks easy, plus we already have two spinners in the rumble. --TheNumber3Seed 14:37, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * The bot itself looks easy, but you can't get transparent textures. It's have to be skinned to look likt the inside of the bot.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  14:42, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, if that doesn't seem possible, I think I'll take Ajjay as an alternative. --TheNumber3Seed 20:34, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I am likely to reach the 500-edit mark by March, so if possible, I would like to do the Dutch Hammerhead 2 (Series 7 version). If I haven't got 500 by the time of this tournament, can it be put in the Reserve Rumble? Also, I don't have the game, so can you do the replica?-- Deadbot uliza   (talk)  18:10, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Wel-Dor 2
I could probably do it using my Gravity 1 replica as a base. Here's an idea of what the "clear" would look like: . wel-dor 2 would probably look something like that. There's even some poycarb panels protecting the wheels. Do you want me to do it? '''R A 2 ; [http://www.youtube.com/user/ResettisReplicas aka Resetti's Replicas. ] ( My Talk )''' 21:27, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was thinking something similar, a Gravity 1 style skinning as I've seen in the Gravity Extravaganze. --TheNumber3Seed 19:49, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Ripper and Hammerhead
I really hate to do this, but could I get one of the other replica builders to take a crack at these two replicas? I've got two other replicas that I haven't even gotten started on. If I have the time, I'll attempt these two, but there's a chance I won't so in the interest of preparation, can anyone back me up? Thanks.
