I apologize if this isn't the right way to post this question, but I curious if it's possible to do AI vs AI battles in Robot Arena 2(or hell, even 3?). I haven't played the game in awhile, but I remember I couldn't quite figure out how to set this up. I can't really find anything about it, but is it possible? If so, is there a guide or anything to setting this up, or would someone be able to explain it if it's not too much trouble?
Ideally what I'm looking for is it to be possible to watch robots battle each other, sort of like simming fighting games, without actually being in control of a robot.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome Nathan :) to answer your question just simply fill all the slots on exhibition mode with opponent robots that are AI'd select an arena and enjoy!
-
Thank you! And oh, okay! That seems incredibly simple, I will give it a shot.

If you want to make the AI use your own bots, you'll have to AI them yourself. We have a few tutorials on how to do so around here somewhere, it's pretty easy.

Everyone already said everything to this, AI vs AI doesn't seem to be possible in Team HQ so you'll have to do it via Exhibition Mode(anything other than the bot repair can be done that way however). For AI'ing(making your own bots fight) best check the wiki as well as getting those smartzones: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=237 (smartzones are basically used for detecting if a bot is inside it, so hammers and flippers work right).

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it. The coding for AI seems a bit intimidating, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I remember seeing stuff about AI Packs as well, but I have no idea how those work.

Coding it yourself might take some time, but what most people do is picking a AI(basically you tell the game X bot has Y ai and some extra variables like limiting top speed and turning) file from an AI pack, so it's only pick what you want, most bots(unless you try crazy designs) are covered with the AI packs(the wiki mentions the one that you should get) and the forums have a help thread about that as well(in case stuff doesn't work/odd designs).
