GMod Battlebots

[RoboBowler]

Due to BattleBots returning to the TV, I am hosting a new series of GMOD Robot Combat inspired by Battlebots.
This event is hosted by me, RoboBowler.

This series has new rules according to the BattleBots rules.

We are using a custom arena made by me for this event, which is a recreation of the Season 4 Battlebox.


If you don't know how to build a robot in GMOD, a video tutorial series is coming soon on how to build a basic robot with weapons.

If you make a robot, put it in the response.

You can come on the server here: 185.38.148.62:27285
