Hello and good evening to you.

How about an arena where the bots fight in a giant spinning bowl with a flat bottom and a hole in the center that floats in mid-air. There would also be small beater bars attached to the inside of the bowl to serve as the hazards.  This arena, the Centrifuge, is based on "Centrifugal," a stage from the 2002 GameCube-Exclusive maze game Super Monkey Ball 2.

Another arena is a conveyer belt that leads into an inordinately hungry mouth that eats bots whole. There would be a smartzone inside the mouth that repeatedly raises and lowers a giant steel hazard shaped like an upper row of teeth that crushes bots. The inspiration here is the device from the 1987 film The Brave Little Toaster that crushes cars in the junkyard.

Or how about a level crossing where every so often, the boom gates lower and a train comes along and runs over any bot in its path. The frequency at which the train appears is randomized before the match starts.

Perhaps there could be the toy room of a deranged child? The child rampages around the room, throwing toys at any bot it sees. The child is indestructible.

There's also the Land of Darkness...

You know, just a thought...

I would love to see the Fight to the Finish arena. I saw on a youtube video once years ago and I spent like 6 hours trying find it with no luck.

I said that about a month ago. I'm surprised nobody has thought of it yet. It would be perfect for testing flippers.

I tried in the past (when I wasn't that good) for my RR AI Pack, however now that my skills are a bit better I could maybe do it, but I could possibly do with some help when it comes to stuff like .py ect.
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

I can repackage and upload it if nobody has the original ZIP/RAR. My primary concern is that I'm not sure if it came with a readme and I would prefer that it kept it if it did.
Nobody seemed to have the original download so I just uploaded it as is. You can download it from here.

Oops, I probably forgot to include a dependency. I'll fix that now...

Edit: I was previously missing goose.py but it should be working now.
