Whats the Challenger arena? I probably will do the Sumo but it will be hilariously rubbish to battle in it.

More parts, ahh a good suggestion. Anything in particular you have in mind?

[cephalopod]

Who thinks a CHAINSAW would be awesome?
(I'm trying to convince HB :P)

First challenger was incorrectly named I meant joust because it seems possible within RA2s limits.

As for parts hoiw about weapon and drive motors with changable speeds and is it possible to have panels you can paint.

we agree. (starcraft 2 refrence, anyone?)

Remember there's a limit to what can be done within RA2. Neither of those things are possible. A bigger variety of motors might be cool so you can build a 4/6 wheel drive robot without it belting across the arena at a million miles an hour. A selection of panels with different colours or textures could be cool too.

[Silverfish]

well, with the adjustable drive motors, you could have one motor with a dropdown menu in the components section. (although i'm not sure that's what you mean)

This kind of thing has already been done before; There are two speeds of NPC-T64 in DSL, although the fast ones are heavier.

Also I am in favor of chainsaws. Because: chainsaw.

[DatShark]

Better static cameras that look over the whole arena.

[090901]

oh yeah more spread out start points on the oil rig arena would be nice

[Mecha]

Yes, a chainsaw would be cool.

So lads...Dare I ask, excluding replicas because that plan is set in stone now. What do you all want to see from the mod in the future?

A bit of a strange request, but I would really like to see the old RR arena from before it became the RW live arena. Or failing that, the RW Series 3 arena!

[HereticBlue]

Shugger... I guess I'm doing a chainsaw then haha. I'll do it with just the motor setup so it will be pretty compact and you can hoy it in awkward places.

Paintable armour panels would be nice but yeah RA2 limits innit.

Variable speed motors, yeah We'll definitely do that for the s900's, brushless HW drive and I'll cook up Bosch and some Ampflows because they're much better than the NPC's or mags. #ReelRobittisms

Dear Datshark, Wham would spread them out but sharks. I'll see what can be done but it's such a minor thing it will probably take a back seat.

Static cams aye I'll work on them with the main arenas... Too lazy to bother with the lesser arenas though.

Yee crepe, I was thinking that. I think I will at some point, basically make it outdoors with the old paint job and all that ect... I'll close the pit a pit so robots that fall in don't get eliminated and they have a chance to get out. It's much more fun haha. Anyone think I should do the same thing to the RWL pit?

[Natef]

Maybe a re-skinned BattleBox?

[Tashic]

I don't think they can use the battlebox for legal reasons. Maybe the robogames one?
Or do you mean the combat arena of ra2?

[Natef]

Crap you're right. How about the ROBOGames one?

[HereticBlue]

As much as I'd absolutely love to, can't do that either because of legal reasons because it's a different company. Same reason why the Robots Live and Robochallenge arenas or its robots (excluding big nipper) arnt in the mod except they count more so as rival companies.

[RAB7432]

HB what about a barrel run type of game mod? the rules are one robot must get to the other end of the arena trying to get though dozens of barrels and hazards from the test area. you could also have a tournament of it with four or more robots, but again that would be similar to the gauntlet. just an idea though 

also is it possible to add snagging weapons like nets and cloths also projectiles like torch cutters and tazers, stuff that we will never get to see in real robotic combat?

I would also like to see more armour selections if that's possible, wood, hardox and steel.

[DaSnowingSteak]

I imagine nets and cloths being difficult to do under RA2's restrictions.  How about letter, numbers and punctuation as decals since that'll be simple to do.
