Any weight is fine, just as long as it can be beaten in the robot wars arena by a RW series 1/2 standard robot...

Fair enough. I understand.

I've made a beautiful robot, I'll send it your way asap, my good man.

Nice one!

I'll enter at series 3. When should series 3 start, just so I have a rough deadline to bash something up?

I actually have a kinda fun, pretty dumb idea for an intro I could do, but it'll be little while before I can actually put it together, probably around 2 weeks or so.  Will you still be looking for intros by then?

In the meantime, I'll try to make a robot of proper caliber and submit that.

Depends entirely on the popularity of Series 2! If it goes well, Series three will probably come within 2016. Series will probably air over nine weeks in Spring, one episode every Friday.

Yes =) Best send your robot as soon as you can though before I run out of spaces! Send a PM on here with your bot and I'll send Intro instructions when I can!

For anyone interested, I'm currently doing weekly uploads of Banter Wars 1.5, about to upload episode 5 on Friday! This is a series to build to to Series 2 which I starting to look like a pretty big thing! Currently in talks with an animator to make the series look a little smarter and more official. Series 2 will have real prizes at the end. Further details on the A Heap Of Games channel

First episode:

and Not Bushido was a thing that happened, I beat the #1 seed despite being #bad seed.

For anyone joining Banter Wars Series 2, there is a deadline to hand in your intros: 1st of June, though I may entend this to the 5th since I'm on holiday.

The people I'm expecting intros from:
kingofkings696
Momentosis/Vameng Li

If I don't get your intros by the deadline, your robots will be withdrawn from the competition. The intros should be a maximum of 40 seconds, introducing yourself and your robot. This can be done with video or audio.

There is still time for other people to join, but you don't have long left!

Yeah, but Id prefer a video because... You know, show off the robot and all that. All I'm asking is- if it's a poorly thrown together video, will it still pass?

I have a bot made, and am in the process of making an intro. I'll say it now, though, the bot focuses on form, not function.

agree with this

if theres still space i might throw something dumb together tomorrow because this looks like a lot of fun

edit: the spinners in your tournament would be a lot livelier if they had a 'range':99 somewhere in their bindings lines :)

For anybody who is interested, somebody has started to create a Banter Wars wiki! =D Your robot will probably appear there if you've ever been in the show. Feel free to edit your own robot's page!

This might also help with the filming of season 2 - it's a custom camera which, when F3 + F4 are pressed at the start of the round, enables an automatic camera which follows around the combatants, disabling the need for a spectator bot altogether!
