1. Just a unique game.

2. The maps of arenas and trying to perfect maneuvering and avoiding the hazards.

3. Trying to bulid amazing designs so it could win tourneys.

4. Thinking about probably 100's of ten thousands different designs from like SFTW to Death Port 3 to buliding Replicas in Stock.

5. Best Time Killer.

Spatial awareness challenge. It's why I build so much HS. Trying to construct a bot in your head while all the components are randomly floating around in space... i love it.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

No motivation to mod

...I am slightly concerned that NEITHER of the global mods have any motivation to be here. We are still eternally grateful for the privilege of basking in your awesomeness. =P

My motivation is just to see what I can come up with. I've always liked games that have an element of customization in them, and Robot Arena 2 has by far and away the greatest amount of customisation possible in any video game I have played. Whether it be for combat efficiency, or purely for looks, I just enjoy starting with the blank chassis grid and creating anything I want out of it. Infinite possibility.

To prat about with un-used designs that work in the games physics engine.
And to invent things, I guess; TRFBDs, Full Body 180 Degree Hammers, Face-Servo Lifters, other random and mostly pointless things.

Looking for new ways to design bots, and by bots I mean Flail Sheck Spinners. And by that I mean click somewhere else on the shell or adding more razors.

Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

You would be surprised just how hard it is to keep adding razors onto an FSS without going through major designs revisions.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

To satisfy my addiction to Robot Combat, and to be competitive at the one thing I'm good at
Pretty much this.  I don't know what I'd do if there were no more tournaments to enter.
