I'm happy to see you're using my replicas. If there's a season 3, maybe I can help?
"If" there's a season 3...of course there will be! xD If you mean in video production, I'll consider it, but at the moment I've found success with the current setup of things. Plus don't want anyone knowing results besides Cole, Sam and myself  But one thing I'll always accept is more fan creations. If you think a certain bot is bad (there's still many bad ones I've done lol) and you can make a better one, I'll definitely swap em out. I see season 3 having more fan builds than builds of mine. Some of you guys (including you) make some gorgerous bots, stuff I could never do! Thank you for your offer, I appreciate that so much. <3

I wish Golem was here.
Probably will be in next year. Already got quite a few new heavyweight that'll enter: Black Ice, Golem, Lucky, and a lot more to come

Looking forward to this, big fan of your videos. Just so you know, to have your image appear like this:
(Image removed from quote.)
Put [img] tags around the link. One of the options on the image host should do this for you.
Thank you for the support and the assistance!  For now I'm using Imgur because it made posting to Reddit easier, but for here I may change it up next week.

well it certainly isn't the worst replica i've ever seen. you could almost definitely make the chassis smaller and make an attempt at skinning it, but the basic shape is there and you can tell what bot it is at a glance.
Bender will soon be getting work done to him. I'm not the happiest with the body shape so I may do a full rebuild

It's time for the bot previews! One bot a day for the next 49 days. First up, Bender! https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6054bender.jpg-Builder: The Barangoat -Career Record: 0-1 -Last Season Finish: First Round -Offseason Upgrades: Longer blades -Strengths: Weapon’s reach -Weakness: Slow, No srimech, Vulnerable weapon A poorly made Bender appeared in episode 18 of BattleBots Reborn. His only fight since was a frustrating defeat to frenZy in the opening round of the first season of the cup. After a bright start, Bender’s blade was chopped off by frenZy’s hammer. However, he survived the three minutes after frenZy’s hammer broke off before he could get the knockout. Although still slow, Bender’s longer blades will look to cause some upsets in this season.

Hey GTM users!
For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm The Barangoat, the guy behind BattleBots Reborn.
Last fall I held a 22-bot tournament, The BattleBots Reborn Cup, where I pitted my heavyweight recreations against each other for ultimate glory. Well, the tournament is back, and it's gonna be way better than last time. You won't even recognize it as the same thing!
You can see a lot of what's to come just in the trailer: 49 bots, with last year's field significantly upgraded. Better graphics. BattleBots-skinned Combat Zone. And much more!
This is me trying to get y'all hyped for the start, May 15. I will also be active on Reddit with bot previews starting March 27, one a day, until the premiere in May. I guess I can share them here too lol.
Any questions? I'm an open book, so feel free to comment here, find me on Reddit @TheBarangoat, Instagram @barangoal, and on YouTube at Coleslaw and the Barangoat. Until next time...
It's...ROBOT FIGHTING TIIIIIME!!!

Hi, So I downloaded this and extracted it exactly where it said. Also made sure that "overwrite all files" was selected. However I haven't noticed a change, a new setting in the options tab, nothing. I'm looking for assistance pls

Hey guys! It’s finally time for my Robot Arena tournament - The BattleBots Reborn Cup - to begin! I will be posting discussion threads (pre and post) for all 7 episodes!
Before I begin this, for anyone new to this tournament, here’s what you need to know:
-The tournament features 22 heavyweights from my YouTube series BattleBots Reborn
-Single elimination tournament
-Stock Robot Arena 2 is used. It provides me with the greatest challenge for building bots, which increases my skills for the future.
-All bots in all fights were controlled by humans, no AIs were used
-Judge’s Decisions use the 45-point scoring system. Fights that went the distance were reviewed by multiple people to make judging as fair and no bias as possible.
With that, let’s get into the fight previews for Episode 1!
FIGHT 1: HEXADECIMATOR VS BRONCO
The first fight will be a tense battle of flippers, when HexyD and Bronco square off. It’s most likely that this will be a one flip knockout, should one bot get the perfect lineup. Hexidecimator is one of the best flippers I have ever made. His double-flip motor system allows for flipping with relative ease. He drives a bit slowly, but being a two-wheeled bot allows him to turn quickly and avoid trouble. Since his Reborn appearance, his flipper motors have been rotated to a more narrow position. His flipper now looks more like the thinner Season 5.0 version as compated to Season 3.0.
Bronco proved to be one of my biggest ever building challenges. The best part about the 2015 Bronco recreate is his accurate looking wheel guards. Other than that, the bot struggles. The long flipper is awkward when attempting to flip. Since his Reborn appearance, the flipper has been shortened in length, and extra parts have been removed to help with weight concerns. There is noticeable improvement in its performance, however, will it be enough?
FIGHT 2: GHOST RAPTOR VS SURGEON GENERAL
Fight 2 promises to be a blood bath when these two spinners meet. It’s a good thing damage doesn’t carry over in this tournament! The Ghost Raptor recreate is as similarly unpredictable as the real bot. One difference is the recreate’s balance; he struggles to stay on all four wheels after getting off hits. He will have to be mindful of his balance throughout the fight in order to win. Since his appearance, the blade has been lowered to allow him to strike small opponents. Surgeon General will be a tough target to hit regardless.
Surgeon General is arguably the most accurate of my recreated bots. Even the coloring looks nice with the blood edge lines. Surgeon General is left unchanged from his appearance. The only thing that he will struggle with is when he is flipped. There is nothing to stop the blade from hitting the ground, so it fails to work. That shouldn’t be a problem in this fight though, right?
FIGHT 3: OVERHAUL VS SON OF WHYACHI
Two vastly different bots square off in the last fight. Overhaul comes in with no changes since his Reborn appearance. Since proper clamp bots cannot be made on Robot Arena 2 (see Complete Control, Episode 1), Overhaul’s beak and lifter are equipped with flip motors. So the beak is basically a hammer, and the lifter is a flipper. Overhaul’s side spikes do their job of trapping robots near the weaponry, but will he get that chance against S.o.W?
Son of Whyachi is a mixed bag. He is the only walker bot in the tournament, as I went with the Season 3.0 and 4.0 version when I built him. He is a very slow bot, making him a sitting duck for any opponent. However, his hammers cover his chassis completely, so the only real way to beat him is to flip him over, and that’s obviously easier said than done. He is also unchanged from his Reborn appearance.
Well that’s all I have for the pre-episode thread. I hope you guys enjoyed the write-up! If you have any ideas as to how I can improve these don’t hesitate to tell me. I hope to make these interesting and fun, and that they can lure in new viewers. Episode 1 of the Cup will be posted tomorrow (Sep. 19) sometime in the morning. When it’s up, you’ll see it on Reddit and you’ll also see the post discussion thread. Thank you for reading and see you tomorrow for the big day! :)

Hey, nice to see you on the Forums.
Some people might be used to higher standards in terms of replicas here, but they have to keep in mind that this was done on Stock on purpose, as a challenge, and while I do think that you can improve some bots, you're still doing a great job and I can see this get better and better. I've seen some of the forum people in the comments section, so you'll definitely have some fans here already.
Nice that someone's playing stock in the way it was originally intended, and as long as you're enjoying it, there's nothing wrong with it at all.
Hey there. I've seen some of your videos.
may I ask why you didn't build 2 more bots and went with the 2015 format?
Fair question  The cutoff was after episode #20, and in those 20 episodes we had 22 heavyweights. It would've been 24 if I remembered that I put Panic Attack and Mortis and Robot Wars Reborn 
Was going to mention that, also it's usually best to edit your posts instead of double/triple posting.
Thank you for the detailed reply :) I agree that many bots can be improved. Over time, when there are more cups to prepare for, I'll probably look at every bot again and begin tweaking. I do hope people don't mind the way we do things, and if they do then that's also ok but hopefully they still stick around to watch! And yeah I haven't yet figured out how this site works yet but hopefully I'll catch on quickly!
