all the vids from my tournaments will stay on my youtube page i have lots of vids dating back to 3 years ago.

these videos include:

-the old Robo Zone i started 3 years ago, it was planned to have a champion in each division (lw/mw/hw) and new robots would join every 1-2 weeks.. or something like that :)
-TTC - maybe the best tag team tourney to date and featured a lot of vets.
-ARBBC (cancelled) - this tourney format was setup like the soccer world cup but i lost all the robots due to the computer getting a virus.. features RARE appearances from Jet-Speed, pivanov and illomen.

Looks like R0B0 backed out in the last minute:
[IMG]http://upurs.us/image/5258.jpeg[IMG]

And yeah, after sifting through 200 pages of pr0n and stick figures, I couldn't find anything else old.

I never backed out, I was an alternate :P
 
And wow, the bots that VB found (on page 15) were Nitroglycerine (VS) and The Black Death (Juggler). That sure brings back memories. And I also <3 that you guys found the ARBBC and TTC splashes (I actually made the combat arena skin for the ARBBC).
 
Geez, I look at the TTC splash especially and I remember some of the people... Barbie, eFFe, Anulbis, Sorrow, Armadillo, Harcsa, Pivanov, Phlox, Botreactor...and Modder.ty.
 
I remember when M.ty first showed up. Looking back on it, HE WAS EXACTLY LIKE SPARKEY WAS AT THE BEGINNING. We flamed the heck outta him for entering Wheely Big Cheese in the TTC because it flipped down, launching the chassis up in the air like its IRL counterpart and it was huge. He and Botreactor did win a couple of matches though... Botreactor was a pretty good builder back in the day.
 
I just looked through my first showcase on the RA2 forums. I was such a n00b >.<
 
 
So... since my bots were in the "blast from the past" thread, does that mean I'm a vet *HINT*?

I've been pulling for you to be a vet for a while now, along with Scrap. But alas, ACAMS don't listen xD

Might have been Ty... I don''t quite remember.

We also lost a few with great potential when the old forums collapsed (like Jet-Speed, Pivanov, etc.). I think you, Jack Daniels and myself are the only people left that spent significant time on the old forums who are AU's not vets...

I kinda miss the old guard :(
