I've loved Robot Combat Since I was 4. And I love it when Robots get destroyed. RA2 Motivates because It's still the best game about of Robot Combat, and Only thing that I recommend in RA2 is absolutely Vanilla And Absolutely Realistic. That's why I created Robot Wars Virtual - Tournament.

Oh, And I forgot. I'm the only Finnish person that plays RA2 Active anymore.

@Sparkey and LRA2 : gtfo n00bs

Anyways, for me two different things are interesting in this game. One is the "CRUSH YOUR OPPONENTS AND LAUGH AT THEIR DEFEAT" part, the second is the "build something new, cool, creative and awesome" part.

It's pretty much what everyone has stated yet, a competitive part and a building part, and both parts are even in the game's title : "Design and Destroy"

I just play because I'm competitive and decent at RA2 so I have a good chance of doing well.

Nothing right now.

It's fun - I just had a real fun time playing it.

I don't really have any at the moment. If someone showcases a cool enough bot however, I may be inclined to build something again.

To have fun and not have to worry if its effective at all or not. Some times I find it fun to see just how bad a bot can fail cause it just fun watching them go flying or something. Having to make every thing 'effective' and 'right' kills the fun.

But this causes flaming, so there is no point in posting.

May not post them but as the saying goes "Practice makes perfect." so even if you make a decent bot (or thought ya did) and posted it bang even if your just wanting to show it off thinking you just want to show it ya still got at least half the forum jumping on your tail to make the bot better. And after it been made better its looks almost nothing like you intended it just another clone of something else. But thats an entire topic on it own.

And as Perytor said, if you don't listen to them then your flamed labeled a sparky and become a target for everyone to pick on.

*builds something awesome enough to get marty building again*

I've been making a new video and to do that I made myself to play this game again. It was good until I realized yet again how bad the community was and then went into sadface mode.

ty4er · « **Reply #56 on:** September 06, 2011, 11:15:13 AM »

You're not much of a help to the community tbh.

blitzbravo41 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 27, 2012, 11:54:22 PM »

i love making new robots and see them get destory.

madman3 · « **Reply #58 on:** January 28, 2012, 04:03:40 AM »

Odd bump, but it's on topic.

These days I generally play to see where certain designs perform best, as well as come up with new ones if possible.

NFX · « **Reply #59 on:** January 28, 2012, 05:08:41 AM »

I've kind of still got a slightly experimentative style, but on the whole I try to build bots to beat a specific bot that I've lost to in the past, such as Bane Revolution, or 3V=IR. When I actually have some spare time to build something, that is.
