I had thought of that, but I didn't really think it was that memorable except winning Steel Warzone (IIRC)

and if we're playing that game then Final Z

It also won February 2011 BOTM. I thought it was quite a recognisable Unrealistic DSL bot. And Final Z was on my list too.

Am I the only person that wants an IRL design up there?

Really? You put Final Z on your list?? :D

*adds Final Z*

and yeah I also want some IRL bots in there. How about Calypso (First IRL tourney winner) and Ryu-Kishin (First BattleBots champion)?

Ryu-Kishin, I think would be good. I also thought of GF93's Pyromancer, which was also successful, but looked fantastic. Which is surely the point of IRL bots.

Zapper was innovative, it had some of the first metal hinge wedges and pioneered the generic MW popup design we know and love today. dawwwwwwwwww
Seriously, it beat up everything back in the day.

Don't think any of mine would qualify. Closest one is Flood 2 though that one is only because of the controversy it brought.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #44 on:** May 30, 2012, 04:44:55 PM »

Yeah I'll consider Zapper and also Tofu

Flood 2... neh, besides being a borderline IRL bot that won a lot it doesn't have much that makes it top-100 quality. Kurt Rambis however...

Kurt? Ehh. While it was tougher than old boots, it didn't do too spectacularly.

Calypso was entered in RIP1, it was Queen Calypso that won IRL Tourney.
Also -shameless plug time- I would nominate Fever (As NFX did), or one of the Orange bots, just based on the whole spawning clones thing, as no-one had really done anything like that layout before, as far as I'm aware. And Fever did awesome.

More of JB's stuff needs to be in here - maybe Iron Outlaws, Blitzkrieg or something utilizing the whole Octane glitch thing.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #47 on:** May 30, 2012, 04:51:07 PM »

Missile Test
Neglected Waterbug
ToriodoreII
Rabid Pit Bull
Hazardous Contraption

I could go on.

I'm sad at the lack of Seism 16.

Ounce already had a bot that looks just like Final Z and was enter into a tournament before BBEANS6 registration even started.

I still haven't found a bot with better wedges.

Reier's bot is Alter Ego II, not III. And you could consider Click's The Ultimate Sacrifice.

Good to see Enturon made the list, though looking at some of the other members, I would think at least one of my FSS is worthy of inclusion. :P

I took the liberty of alphabetizing the list:

Also what the is ICED OUT?

ICED OUT was the very first popup .... well that or antibot, but both were made by the four horsemen team.

I built the prototype for Final Z before the Amazing Rage splash was posted :P

that and we aren't calling them Resonance HS clones :P

Adding The Orange is a Tasty Fruit (first Orange bot), Ultimate Sacrifice, Iron Outlaws and others.

NFX, could you send me your list? I would like to collaborate.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #59 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:32:22 PM »

yes. Yes it will. And then we can get all the 100, make an epic video of epicness, and release it on RA2's 10th anniversary.
