@hardbot No, those bots suck and don't need to be remembered and why are you putting gammaraze in there.Most people who played Robot Arena (1) think he is too overpowered, and in Stock AI the Boxer and Berzerker were the toughest in their class, and Lugnut is gaining infamy, and Forkie is also infamous for being the weakest MW of the Rookies.
We don't need them.

ULTIMATUM. First 36HS and only bot to legally KO Hammer of Justice. What's Clockwork Hydra doing in there?
Also what the heck is ICED OUT?
Edit: *Glares at NFX*
Also Fracture Clockwork Hydra is there because it is memorable and had a somewhat unique weapon system.Memorable is questionable, although I suppose I don't have the authority to do that questioning. If you listed bots just for their "unique" weapon systems the list would be way too long...
Anyone know the first Psyc popup bot? Was it VeXed?
And I am considering adding Jex Air 3 (cause we need a bot from JimXorb here)
oh crap I messed up, yeah it was Omega that made Iced Out. Sorry bout that.
Probably Crimson cause it was made by Pysc, but do we have a pic??pys ai
Dark Void 2 :P
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 :gawe:
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 :gawe:
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?
I put my IRL HS obligatory insanity 2 forwardNo offence, but I don't even know of it.
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.I had thought of that, but I didn't really think it was that memorable except winning Steel Warzone (IIRC)

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)?
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...
I'm sad at the lack of Seism 16.I still haven't found a bot with better wedges.
Also what the heck is ICED OUT?
Also what does Seism 16 look like ?(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/roxytwizzler/RAWII.jpg)
Ounce already had a bot that looks just like Final Z and was enter into a tournament before BBEANS6 registration even started.I built the prototype for Final Z before the Amazing Rage splash was posted :P
js
DP
NFX, could you send me your list? I would like to collaborate.
Chocolate?The Tasty Full Body Hammer? =P
Haha you know it.Chocolate?The Tasty Full Body Hammer? =P
Was also on my list.
But that was the first one posted on the forums :POunce already had a bot that looks just like Final Z and was enter into a tournament before BBEANS6 registration even started.I built the prototype for Final Z before the Amazing Rage splash was posted :P

Tofu doesn't deserve to be on the list. Heck, a lot of the DSL ones on the list don't.
We need some of the geezers here to tell us some major bots from 2007 and prior.
Like don't just put bots on cause they're new and shiny.
Nuclear Fallout (best wedges on a stock bot entered into a tournament)
I'll think of more. Whatever Inf named the true-piston-popup he has in INF AI is truly the best of it's kind.
Well, it would be nice if I had one bot in the Top 100 list, and Missile Test was the only I could've thought of.
(in addition to what's been posted)Ingor is still better than Final Destination!!
Barbed Obsidian. (Luigica was a genius, this was IMO his finest work)
Little Darling. (people around when I started will remember her horrors)
Vise/Frag Beetle 2- the best side hammers ever built.
Final Destination- finalized the reinvention of the hammer, and is one of the best.
I'll think of more. Whatever Inf named the true-piston-popup he has in INF AI is truly the best of it's kind.
why is sftw in the listSFTW will almost certainly be #100. Mostly because almost everyone has heard of SFTW. It's possibly the most iconic RA2 bot ever made, just because it was so terrible.
How about the dick-shaped bot I built? I'm sure it was the first bot with aBut p3nor is cooler.for a chassis. :laughing
What about 3V = 3IR?:D
And Mr Flibble (shameless plug) for the flukiest tourney win, and coming a legit 2nd in MMR :POr the bot it lost to? :P
Not enough AW or BW- Nanowhirl should probably be there. And Mr Flibble (shameless plug) for the flukiest tourney win, and coming a legit 2nd in MMR :PIf Mr. Flibble, then Puncture III? =P
You know what, just put every single bot Click has built into that list. That should be enough. :P

Have we defined exactly what makes a bot worth top 100 ? Originality ? Innovation ? Combat potential ?
We should do it by categories. Top 100 deadliest (at the time), top 100 most original, top 100 most innovative, top 100 most iconic. Of course a bot can be in two categories or more.

exactly what I was thinking.
Dont categorise it, just 100 or if its to full of unknowns, then 50...
we're gonna keep fighting over what characteristics a bot needs to be in top 100 for a while.

List simply needs to be robots that got RA2 from Start to Present.. New Glitches, Designs, Ideas, etc (not including one trick pony robots from BOTM and the like.. eg: half of my robots) something that made people give the idea a crack themselves..
Its a celebration of 10 years.. not really a comparison of well built robots.. thats what tournaments are for..
So most innovative ? Fine.

50 is the best number.By that logic, nothing with Snapper IIs or AI components can be on the list as those components weren't available at release.
The only way to do this: bots that have revolutionized RA2 should be there, and bots that are the best of their kind should be there. DSL should not be included. Nothing against DSL, but it's NOT the 10 year anniversary of it, it's the 10 year anniversary of RA2 Stock.
And no popups because they didn't exist back then?50 is the best number.By that logic, nothing with Snapper IIs or AI components can be on the list as those components weren't available at release.

Nah, it's that normally you can't use AI components without exterior moderation. DSL is an exterior mod too. Popups can be made without the use of modification, so they're legit, unless they would use snapper IIs. At least with the "no DSL" logic anyways.And no popups because they didn't exist back then?50 is the best number.By that logic, nothing with Snapper IIs or AI components can be on the list as those components weren't available at release.

The logic there tries to look at bots that either are iconic to the history of Stock RA2, or helped shape the old Stock into what it is today, i.e. bots using AI parts, new bot types, etc. Aside from people building Stock versions of DSL bots, DSL hasn't really changed Stock over the years.
I'm actually fine with a top 10/25/50/100/whatever Stock + DSL bots though...and I haven't even touched DSL.

These two lines do not add up. DSL has been a LARGE part of RA2 for many years, so ignoring the other half of RA2 bot building seems ridiculous. This is the tenth anniversary of the game. Should't we be celebrating all aspects of it's evolution through the years, instead of arbitrarily cutting out an entire part of RA2?

THIS
Sooo can we actually select what criteria are for the top 100 RA2 bots of all time rather than more pointless fighting ?That's just getting too official and technical. Just go with memorability or contribution to building. As in, bots that either represent RA2 or have helped it become what it is today.
Maybe we should do this : select four basic criteria (battle worth, originality/innovation, fame and efficiency), note each bot on each of thes (on a scale of 10), add up, and rate the top 100 according to the total points earned.
I would prefer a top-10 myself and not much more.
I would prefer a top-10 myself and not much more.Go through the first robots to demonstrate glitches and you have overfilled that list though :/
lol DSL fanboyslol stock fanboy
Top 100 list should include all the most FAMOUS bots, nothing more, nothing less. Badnik's list looks good so far... Maybe I could do my own version at some point, depends do I have time for that and can I be bothered...That would probably just lead to bots from tournaments or notable AI pack bots appearing. There's tonnes of cool stuff lurking in showcases.
I know that, but Still... I would put up all the most famous bots... or we can do 2 top 100 lists (Most famous & Most Creative, for example) if people can be arsed to.Top 100 list should include all the most FAMOUS bots, nothing more, nothing less.

just make it a top 100 Thyrus bots list and everyone will complainFTFY :p
Mebey Shebeast.What about these?
EDIT: Nasty Pickle too.
Slight Bump: What's happening with this? It seems to have died. I suggest everyone sends in a list of bots that they think should make the list, then any bot that gets >2 nominations gets put into a poll/series of polls. The highest ranked robots make the 100. Simple.
I'm of the opinion that anything and everything should be eligible for the poll. Not just stock. It's a celebration of Ra2's 10th anniversary, and everything that it entails. DSL has been a big part of Ra2. (RPP/Mako/SheBeast and the like) and so has Custom (Hammer of Justice and um... the other one.)
i think BEAR (restocked) should be up there for the builder not being afraid to use bear claws, and managing to be even more effective than absolute chaosYESH
At this rate might as well put every bot up there.

so artbots are banned from this list?
Seriously, don't nominate good bots just so the list fills up to 100. Even if it's less than 50, but RA2's "culture" would be different without them, I'd say that's already a great list.
fixed.
This really needs some kind of structure to it. Throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks can work, if something actually sticks. All we have at the moment is an even increasing list with the only criteria for entry being "Not crap."
everyone is going to nominate their own bots, because they want to feel their e-penis grow a little if it makes the list.I direct you to the quote above.

I have been going my memorability and innovativity for my list. If a robot was memorable, or innovative I considered it. I dunno why you guys are all like "OMG let's constrict the list to the best of the freakin best".

N00Bot is the best popup i've ever made...
lol. I won't argue that Wicked Chicken wasn't influential, but it was built before FB or I joined the official forums and never showcased. No one even knows what it looks like. The only reason anyone even knows it exists is because I named the Chicken glitch after it. :P
And a fun little piece of history- Wicked Chicken, with the original 'chicken drill'. I think the picture says it all.

You'd have an e-penis too if you had any bots worth mention.
Once we at least narrow the list down to bots we can all agree deserve to be there, we can attempt to find enough deserving bots to fill the list completely.
I really believe setting it to be a certain quota is a bad idea. Like you just said, some of them would be filler.

Shinigami (A well-known robot amongst the community) eh
SiegeCraft (The bot everyone saw on Youtube and the bot that inspired us all to create piston bots that could own the stock AI) The original n00b poker ? Sure why not

SnSnSnSnS Yes
Spinner from the west Of course
Sweet Poppin' Corns (Best representation of AAM) wut

The Infinite Yes
The Orange is a Tasty Fruit (inspired a new, effective VS design that is still in use today) Maybe
Toriodore (Notorious for being a really tough IRL bot) Noope
Tornado (The most fearsome stock MW of the original game. Most noobs' biggest fear.) Sure why not

Anyone have a pic of Barbed Obsidian? Aside from Sting it's the only bot I need...
I don't. I'm was a decent DSL builder with potential and i could beat that thing SO easily with any garbage i made, just my opinion.
Great fun to rip to pieces, though.I don't. I'm was a decent DSL builder with potential and i could beat that thing SO easily with any garbage i made, just my opinion.
Mechadino is right. Lack of proper weapons, slow, mish mash of components, it's basically just a punching bag.
Even for MW's.

If you didn't get this already... the WHOLE POINT of the bot IS to be a punching bag.
But even so, is it really that memorable? I mean come on, if you're gonna test your bot, at least test it against something that fights back.I would.
What's wrecktangle??
I have to say, if I'm unaware of the robot I doubt it is that memorable.
What's wrecktangle??People might take your sarcasm as the real deal.

Look, SFTW is on the list. Obviously performance got nothing to do with it. Besides I can kill every single bot that is on the list right now, it doesn't mean anything.it's not sarcasm, sage knows nothing about dslWhat's wrecktangle??People might take your sarcasm as the real deal.

Performance may not matter but WreckTangle isn't memorable or innovative enough IMO to make the list.But your own robot Final Z is?
Well I assume it's sarcasm because he didn't take his time to mention that about all the other DSL bots.Look, SFTW is on the list. Obviously performance got nothing to do with it.

or so he claims
Performance may not matter but WreckTangle isn't memorable or innovative enough IMO to make the list.It's an innovating game feature to have a bot with many dummy custom pieces that can break off as a punching bag. As the memorable part, seem like anyone who turned on dsl2 before knows what it is.
Why is Toriodore on there?
badnik69696969696969696969 felt like putting it on the list
Why is Toriodore on there?It's famous for being the worst show of sportsmanship ever.
Indeed. One or two wins, and he think's he's Neglected Waterbug. :dumb)Why is Toriodore on there?It's famous for being the worst show of sportsmanship ever.
Why is Toriodore on there?why are ANY irl robots on there for that matter?
the International Reich of Legitimacy shall prevail over the heretics.Why is Toriodore on there?why are ANY irl robots on there for that matter?
...I can kill every single bot that is on the list...*cough*The Infinite*cough* :mrgreen:
Did anyone still have the pic of the ORIGINAL stock bot, that could actually glitch it's razors inside the opponent's chassis, doing trillions of damage (originaly built by Artitan/Pete Lefeu, it was called Sting, and the sequel was called Devil Incarnation).Like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure someone said it was fake a long time ago and it was just razors edited to have a sh** ton of damage
I want to crack and adapt this glitch to my stock bots :evilsmile:
You are of course free to experiment with the physics of course, since you never know what you might find.^ QFT. IMO, in RA2 it repays to be a crazy experimentator.

i'm pretty sure it'll get banned and breaks the controlled movement rule.How it breaks it? How the CN breaks it too? It's not like I'm trying to enter with a crawler or something... Instead of banning the uber ghey cheaty 140 squares and the uberstack, the people are banning my innovations (Cheap Norris - already banned, Venko's magic uber wedges - ban proposed by Maz, possible future uber damage - ban proposed by Nar, or whatever), made to replace the eons old boring clasic bot types. If my bots are "that" much scary, people just can ban me from entering anywhere - problem solved. The banning of every bot I built lately (even if it fits in the rules on paper) is kinda insultive, not right and it hurts for the builder. All, keep that politics, and let's see what will happen.
i dont think it helped that you named it "cheap norris"i'm pretty sure it'll get banned and breaks the controlled movement rule.How it breaks it? How the CN breaks it too?

i dont think it helped that you named it "cheap norris"Probably, but why a name of a bot even matters here? I named the bot like this, cos it was using the "cheap" 140s, which I hate. It's basically like this : ClickB makes "Hide and Seek" multibot for "Clash of the titans" - "clever use of game mechanics" and clever ClikcB; Venko makes a legal VS/HS hybrid with 2WD, with a powered drive motors, nothing touches the ground initially or without breaking the extenders - "UBER CHEATY BOT ALARM" started by some users, that don't like me. Is this fair? If it's someone else - OK, if it's Venko - problems, problems, problems... Also, remember, cheap =/= illegal. And one question to everyone : what if I built CN with some extender protection, where is the borderline between the "legal" VS/legged bot and CN? How much weight to spend for an extender protection? Why Insect is legal, cos of 4 swords? What if I remove some chassis protection and add 4 sowrds to CN? Will it be "legal" then? CN is imposible to build without the 140s (Trov saw the useless no-140s version), this was my punishment to 090901 for allowing the 140s, that was in my mind when I said, that "I entered as a part of my anti-140s tactic". When I see, that the 140s are allowed somewhere, I enter with a bot, that it's imposible without them, so if I win, I can say : If you wouldn't allowed them, this would never happen :) Although, I didn't won with CN, it's not that much of advantage or immortal.
Hide and Seek was memorable purely for it clever and funny tacticsBut no one adds "no hiding under/behind the arena weapons" rule in their tournaments, right? They add "no CN". ;)
I would allow CN. ;)Hide and Seek was memorable purely for it clever and funny tacticsBut no one adds "no hiding under/behind the arena weapons" rule in their tournaments, right? They add "no CN". ;)
Anyway, I'm agree, that "Hide and seek" must be added, if it's not added already of course. I'm too lazy to check out :mrgreen:
I've been expecting you for almost pulling a rage in the battlebox.
