Thank you Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 10:03, August 28, 2019 (UTC)
 * Exemplary job, happy to grant you a badge for this. It would help if, now that you've uploaded 26 new battle images, you also checked if there's space for some of them on other relevant articles. But still take the badge for a great rewrite. T  OAS  T  17:45, August 28, 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I was out today, and will be out this evening as well, but I will add them to the relevant pages tomorrow. Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 18:10, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

Transparent Images
How do you make images transparent? I've tried it a couple of times, as I wanted transparent images for my badges, but it's failed to work each time. Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 10:51, February 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not something you can do without proper software. I meticulously crop robots using Photoshop, so you're better off asking NJGW or Diotoir, who use Paint.net for free. T  OAS  T  12:02, February 17, 2019 (UTC)

Extreme 2 template
Whilst we're talking over the Extreme 1 template, I thought we could also discuss the Extreme 2 template. It's a little more tricky since there weren't that many "main events" aside from the All-Stars and the New Blood (since they both had multiple episodes), so I was wondering what you'd propose for them. Perhaps giving each event its own section? And then how would we order them? In order of airing, perhaps? CrashBash (talk) 13:51, February 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * I think each event deserves its own section like you suggested, mostly determined by running order. It might feel awkward to have the big New Blood block in the middle, it might belong further down the template, but let's see what it looks like first. T  OAS  T  16:16, February 25, 2019 (UTC)

How does this look to you? CrashBash (talk) 18:09, February 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you move this across to the talk page for the Extreme 2 template please? T  OAS  T  18:23, February 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * OK, done. CrashBash (talk) 18:25, February 25, 2019 (UTC)

DVD Images
I stretched those images as you have in the past (see Dead Metal vs Basenji image or Spawn Again vs Razer). The DVD is in 4:3, however, I think the DVD actually crops the Series 5/Extreme 1 battles as opposed to squash, so maybe those other images should be reverted back if that is the case? Diotoir the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 18:22, March 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems to be inconsistent, just like the Fourth Wars clips in Series 5. For example, your stretched Rosie the Riveter vs Tut Tut screenshot looked perfect. The best indicator is the Replay icon during battles, check to see if it’s circular when possible. T  OAS  T  19:50, March 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah I guess :P Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 20:12, March 5, 2019 (UTC)

Wraith
As you have a pot of gold when it comes to pilot images, do you know if you are able to get more images of Wraith by any chance? Diotoir the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 09:50, March 20, 2019 (UTC)
 * All of my pics came from Team Immersion or Calum Jones, who have given me the whole lot already. T  OAS  T  11:09, March 20, 2019 (UTC)
 * Darn. Was hoping for more of Wraith :\ Diotoir  the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 11:12, March 20, 2019 (UTC)

NAMAZU Images
Seeing as you have the best scanner out of all of us, do you mind replacing my images of NAMAZU from the Robot Wars club magazine if you have the issue it's featured in. Diotoir the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 15:17, May 1, 2019 (UTC)
 * I've already taken the pictures, I just need to upload them. What's amusing here is that I don't own a good scanner at all - I'm genuinely just using a phone app called CamScanner, give it a try for yourself! T  OAS  T  21:27, May 1, 2019 (UTC)

Team Sections on Competitor Pages
Recently, I've noticed a number of sections on The Team being added to various competitors pages, such as Vercingetorix, Panda Monium and the Napalm robots. Whilst some of them do add some information, others are merely a listing of the team members that appeared, such as the Vercingetorix and Panda Monium ones. I feel these ones are unnecessary, given that the team members are already listed in the infobox, and in cases such as Panda Monium and the Napalm robots, they repeat information on the Team Page, and add another link to the page, when there is already on in the infobox.

Are these just being added for consistency? Is every robot going to get one? Drop Zone mk2 (talk) 18:44, May 30, 2019 (UTC)
 * For consistency, we should aim to have one on every page. Even if the sections have no original content that isn't found in the infobox, it's still a space for a good image of the team, and a link to bring attention to the team article in cases like Panda Monium. Even if the sections currently lack original content, that's not to say they can't be expanded further down the line. Etc  T  OAS  T  21:10, May 30, 2019 (UTC)

Tag Team Quarter Finals
Hello there! Apologises for these type of reminders but if you want to have a vote for the Quarter Finals it will end Friday afternoon, so just in case you have any spare time don't mind voting as we have quite a low turn out and you are a judge for this. Diotoir the  son  of  nemesis  (talk) 20:10, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

New Sub-Userpage
Hi Toast. I feel really stupid asking for this, but how do you create a new sub userpage?

Thanks Adster1005 (talk) 19:08, July 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * https://robotwars.fandom.com/wiki/User:Adster1005/The_name_of_your_subpage?action=edit - Change this URL as you see fit. T  OAS  T  12:47, July 26, 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I had a complete mental block. Adster1005 (talk) 13:11, July 26, 2019 (UTC)

Robonerd 2019
Hey I was just going to ask why some of my Robonerd pictures were replaced. Was it because they weren't up to standards? I was at the event and I got a lot of pics, so I'm not sure if you want me to add them? RobotManiac (talk) 22:10, September 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * I replaced a few of them because they were indoor photos with less lighting, and I had some outdoor ones to swap them out with. Feel free to upload whatever you've got. T  OAS  T  01:07, September 5, 2019 (UTC)

Alright no worries. I think I remember seeing you. I was chatting with Andrew Marchant and you came over and said Tornado was your childhood favourite I think and Andrew said it was the biggest gathering of robots outside of the TV show. RobotManiac (talk) 16:00, September 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * It was Adam (A Heap of Games) who said that, but yes I was right next to him. T  OAS  T  18:08, September 5, 2019 (UTC)
