This will be a bunch of many reskinned components I guess. We should make a checklist for what we still have to do.

Many many customs I believe.

also Joe:

In NarAI Naryar used that loadingbar. Is it possible to do that with the Robot Wars series 3 intro? :X

The loading bar is just a series of images - there are 4 images (or something like that) leading into RA2 (with the warnings and intros etc) and Nary just replaces all those with the loading bar images, so it looks like it's 'Loading'.

Cause I like it most. :P
No Idea but I think it`s a good thing. If series 3 is good we can go on wiht series 2/1 or Series 4 or something.

Series 3 - different arena to later series, just fighting unlike earlier series, and purer bots imo. They're not all mentally high-tech, they're just robots built by people XD

I still quite failed on the loading bar because it moves like 2 pixels when it changes screens :P

Series 3 was the Series Robot Warswas all about. Also it had it all:

OOTAs
close decissions
destructions
shocking moments
fun
fire and sparks

And, just a suggestion, even though I'll get shot for this, with the robots being generally lower powered if they're spinners (apart from Hypnodisc), would it make sense to lower the power of motors? And secondly, limit the bot types a bit. For example, how many Sheck Spinners were in Series 3? And a shell spinner would probably destroy half the reps easily.

the International League was the first ever RW event broadcast in Australia which happened just before series 3 so that era has always had a soft spot with me  ;)

@Craaig: I agree, but keep a seperate motor for Hypno.

@everyone: There are going to be some chassis that we will find hard to make the regular way. Like Stag's cut off wedge. I propose making a servo motor that is as powerful as drive motors so these replicas can turn.

I was just klicking through Cheatbot components when I saw the rim of Mechavore. It looks a bit like Steel Avanger. May we could use that for a replica?

Couldn't you manage to get a burst motor to tip it as soon as the match starts? (in reference to the side problem)
