Sounds good. Problem with me is, though I'm good at designing my own arenas, I'm about as good at programming and making them as tofu is a suitable alternative to a turkey at christmas.

Maybe I could submit a few drawings.
I for one read through the Arena Ideas thread so any ideas posted there are highly appreciated especially if the ideas include drawings. The more original/unique the idea, the better. I've actually worked on a few of the arenas but haven't finished any of them due to a loss of interest (by others and myself). Although everyone has their ideas, it is very constructive to look and improve upon the ideas of others.

I wouldn't mind showing people how to make their own mods (Arenas, AI, Components, etc.) but it isn't something that can be taught in a couple hours. There are also a few tutorials that may help people to learn ways of getting involved.
That's good. I'll see what I can come up with, and then I'll submit a few designs.

the robot wars arena with a see saw ramp, a giant ball, a pendulum gate made from car doors, a ball release made from a car front, stacks of metal barrels and targets made from tires... anything I missed?
I suppose you are talking about the Robot Wars arena changed to a Pinball version?

Last I heard from my KORWS4 arena help thread, Click said he might try to make a new RW arena

proof:
I may decide to make a new Robot Wars arena for DSL3, but until then I suggest you learn gmf editing...

Yeah, a pinball version of the RW arena would be cool, but I don't know what's wrong with the current RW arena, it seems spot on to me really.

Arena flipper and pit are on the wrong sides of the arena.
I do those awful YouTube videos.

Yes, and if I might say so, the arena walls could be a little bit lower. If lower walls can be provided and the pit and flipper mirrored, I think it'll be more or less perfect.

I think the size of the arena itself is OK, just the size of the Drop Zone and the Pit are a bit big for my liking.

Well, I think Click has been great, and if this doesn't get finished I will be OK and proud of all the work he has done. Freezemiser, out.
