Would replicas of these be allowed in RW2? They are real.

Only the real bots. the cardborad bots cannot be made.

They can be skinned and given something really weak for armor so that they crumple easily.

No, I mean you can't make reps of them for RW2.

I found out today that Purolator Oil and Air Filters is running a new ad campaign involving Combat Robots.

Here is the main site: http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/Pages/home.aspx

The commercials are under the "Metal Wars" link.

Here is the direct link as well: http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/promotions/video/Pages/videos.aspx

There are only three "battles" and they all made me laugh.

I think it is pretty damn awesome that some company out there is combat robots in their marketing. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Perhaps we can get them to sponsor a tournament on GTM? I definitely am going to make a point to buy their products for my car.

They sent me an email....here it is

Hello,

I work for a marketing company in Los Angeles and came across a thread at https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4631.0.html relevant to our client, Purolator.
We are interested in trying to establish some type of sponsorship for a tournament (like the first poster indicated), or figuring out an alternative means to pass on a deal for those interested. My search for an admin revealed you, so if you're the appropriate person and are interested, hit me back with an email and we can discuss.
Thanks!

So if anybody is rich and wants to sponsor this let me know.

Wait so are they interested in sponsoring a tournament here on GTM? If we did, it could get a lot of publicity for the site, but we would probably have to clean up all the downloads (like free copies of RA2)

If the are looking for a real event to sponsor tell them to check out North East Robotics Club www.NERC.us

They have a large event at the Franklin Institue on October 9 2010 and a event at Motorama the largest car show East of the Mississippi river comming up in Febuary 2011

And if they want a GTM Tournament to sponsor, I don't have a problem with them sponsoring Clash of the Titans.

freeziez · « **Reply #47 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:50:50 PM »

They could sponsor BBEANS: from 6-whateverthelasttournamentnoubershouldbe!

Somebody · « **Reply #48 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:51:51 PM »

Nahh BBEANS should stay like the Daytona 500. Sponsorless.

freeziez · « **Reply #49 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:53:31 PM »

Well... they could sponsor BOTM? Or any other big tournaments?

MassimoV · « **Reply #50 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:54:33 PM »

Just think about an actual commercial on TV for GTM or tournament. If they do sponsor a tournament or there's a commercial, they should use that really cool B.B.E.A.N.S. montage. At the end of the add there could be a spokes person that says "Get Robot Arena 2 now or get more information at gametechmods.com."

Whoa! That is awesome. I don't get what you mean by the "if anyone is rich" part. We wont have to pay them. They want to sponsor a tournament. We could have some serious fun with this if they want. Perhaps a regular tournament with an Purolator skinned arena might be a good way to test the waters for starters without getting too over our heads. Just at thought.

Oh, didn't realize that.

Well then. Just email them back and tell them we are all too poor to build real robots. If they want to be on the next clash cubes to give us a call.

and forward them MikeNCR's address so that they can at least sponsor his bot (then he can take over the world). Maybe even Shishkabot as well... but I can't remember what the hell he changed his name to around here. :P
