Well, here I am folks! For those of you who probably don't remember or don't know (it has been 8 years afterall) I used to run my own RA2 tournament called Wild Robots. The series ran for 3 seasons and even featured a spin-off series called Wild Robots Live. Now, 8 years after the last episode was uploaded, I'm going to be bringing it back! Bigger, harder, and much, much better. I'll be posting more details about the upcoming series in the leadup to the first episode in April, but until then, here's High Flyer 3 disposing the old WR logo and making room for the new one :) Thank you, and I'll be back soon with more details!

The Lineup:

Thanks everyone for the really kind words! Running into the occasional snag in regards to editing and stuff but I should have some special 'First Look' videos for ya'll soon! Cannot wait to show them to you's! :)

What's up gang?! Sorry this thread has been pretty dead lately... Had a tonne going on in personal life aswell as a number of issues when editing the series. HOWEVER, I am FINALLY making progress *touch wood* So, here is a quick preview for you all - I give you the competitors of Wild Robots 2018!

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/btr7tbl6g4WDUlEZ2sShm6LVCDvkNxq8lpvv3j3HvbRT_ADnBPTfcMgGzJPwOWhG1Sf5ZOfLJBjQ87bPm25eb4ppQNOZac-XpC58QCTguDqG-u4XWMLq5vvg3QDFjJmOLsbaP_4oOEizWLAR3lg7Q19hv9Wpqbbffkw9vM_kRHnlzDfAm079A3NLfdGZDukXet8FWSLGwHp1A0n1WShnt8SJJBUpt72oS_IbaBeQrQjVmQyJOh3JIkJ2l-0xKbrZzx9VpQLFYgOMCPpUBt5mncgrKpgv1avsUReOsOneS2Yshe8fQs2rmMrwtXaJz-o97vIFjFLqxlb-sHgx01TPkrynnOD0VuK0oKdwaCmMwRtj9hnWezwoGbwjnTVL6zicbCN8bZU8NU6Uoe0C1wqBTaKd3p26eCHhKeXbbSuemzejG8YYrvaxkXovRyZisdSdKZr3oCrdyBjOfQ9iOhJA-y2vJT5hh6edrziYO6j-rumzcZ2Cdi3EW5BqzDcgT6Artknzwv2C5Tw1TexAkBkR4Tob-A0i68eotoUDmVzvaspl0w2lW21NUiK9-nlOl4u6mxknd4WMZey60E5269hYU6VtLGMMNeI_5oVizEFiAZAy43HWoNB-SGt6m1Mj6-WgWl-7pY5wDNZu204c-CntcG4LDwQMk2NT=w672-h949-no)

(Hopefully the image attaches all ok) The seeded robots have numbered brackets after their names. Next update to come soon!
Also, I know I said April for the launch of the season but as I'm sure you know it's only like 6 days until May, so I'm not putting an official release date on the series until I actually have something(s) to upload! (A method I should have undergone from the start... Ah well!)

Until the next update!

Thanks everyone!! To answer TheRoboteer’s question, this has pretty much been a slow WIP for about 3/4 years now along side my education, work and career. I even at one point had a completely different set of robots built but wanted to start over once updates like the DSL 2.2 and IRL components came out. I think it’s worth noting that the body and shape of every robot in the lineup is made from extenders and armour plates! I wanted to do this to give an even bigger damage factor to the show (and something I feel is missing from the game itself. I mean - don’t we all love it when a spinner actually tears a robot to pieces including its chassis?)

I have the next update prepared already in which I shall be unveiling the new arena! It will also include a pretty big preview as to the editing style and ‘hosting layout’ of this new season! Stay tuned!

(Very sorry to DP!)

Here is the latest update - the all new arena!!

The arena was completely made by myself. I'll also be updating the first post from now on to contain all current info and updates.

Hope ya'll like!!

Yo, how'd you make the arena!? I wanna make some of my own, so I'm very interested as to how you did that...

That's pretty impressive for an arena. This is definitely something to watch when the first main video comes out.

Thank you soo much everyone!! Since I've been away from the forum I've learnt a number of things from my other projects I've had going on which I'm applying to this season - happy to see it looks like it's paying off!

Not gonna lie, it was all made by editing the GMF in Notepad++ (Dunno if there's been any new methods introduced, but I still like the oldschool way haha!). I use a simple arena as a base (this originally started off as the Containment Cube) and from there I just keep adding and editing nodes until I have something I'm happy with! The only thing I'm still not 100% on is the .py file editing, but it'll get there slowly! (Currently taking an online course for fun on Python coding, so hopefully that will shed some light on things!)

just want to say you did an amazing job with the arena, this is the exact kind of thing i had been looking for when i wanted to start my tournament (enclosed arena with comprehensive OOTA hazards). keep up the good work, i'll be watching for sure
