Unfortunately, the error log doesn't have anything new so I can't say for certain what the problem is.
1. How big is the file?
2. Does it still happen?
3. Are you able to send it to my email address? (my username @gametechmods.com)

Double-click the file that says "Robot Arena 2.exe" and it should start the game. If you don't have recognized extensions set to visible than you might just see a file called "Robot Arena 2" which is exactly the same.
If you don't want to open up the Robot Arena folder every time, you can create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking the "Robot Arena 2" file, hovering over "Send to", and left-click "Desktop (create shortcut)" in the submenu that appears.
I'd recommend creating an account and posting questions like this in the General Support board in the future. You'll get a much faster response and it will allow others to benefit from your questions (only staff and guests can see this section).

I'm sort of just throwing it out there but have you learned much about methods and classes? I only ask because RA2 uses a concept called class inheritance and I'm guessing that's where your confusion lies. The differences between python 2 and 3 are actually quite subtle. This is especially true in the context of RA2 because one of the only differences is in how you do print statements.

You don't necessarily need to download any version of Python... However, if you want to get it than you'll want to download Python 2.7.8 or some other 2.x version because RA2 uses Python 2.2. They made a bunch of changes in Python 3.x which makes it incompatible with Python 2.x unless you know all of workarounds (which I wouldn't recommend for beginners). On a side note, Linux and OS X come preinstalled with a version of Python (usually 2.x). After installing the application, you should have a new command line tool and a text editor called IDLE. I used to use the the command line tool quite a bit because it was more convenient than loading up RA2 whenever I wanted to test some generic Python code. I also used IDLE for checking my syntax back when I was still getting used to the language. That said, the FPS window is far more useful for looking at RA2 stuff (things that are specific to the game). Adding flipper code to Frenzy would actually be a pretty simple task (~10 lines of code). I won't spoil the fun by giving you the code, though  . If you need any help or start feeling overwhelmed, just let me know and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

Just thought I should point these two kickstarters out: 1. Bring Robot Combat Back to Your Screen - a new robot combat series using footage from next year's RoboGames competition. 2. MegaBots: Giant Fighting Robots - an attempt at creating a new sport where competitors fight using giant humanoid mechas.

To set your own custom dimensions, all you have to do is load up ra2.cfg in Notepad and make a few minor adjustments. In the Graphics Config section, there are 4 lines that you'll need to change: FSDisplayWidth, FSDisplayHeight, FS3DDisplayWidth, and FS3DDisplayHeight. You'll want to set both of the width values to the same thing and both of the height values to the same thing.
Also, keep in mind that unless you have the game set to fullscreen, the window itself will have a title bar and borders that is not included with these numbers. In other words, if you have a screen that is 1920x1080 and you set the width values to 1920 and the height values to 1080, the window will be larger than your screen (unless you also have the FullScreen line equal to 1).

Thats fine. The orbit camera tends to lag on two of my computers so I've got a pretty good idea of how bad it can get. Its just sounds like Reier and Lemonism are experiencing a more extreme level of camera lag.
I've got a couple hours of free time so I'll see what I can do about it.

Should be interesting to see what ridiculous contraptions come out of this.
(pretty sure I can't enter myself because won last BotM)
you absolutely can enter. Repeat wins are perfectly acceptable.
There used to be a rule that the winner of the last BOTM couldn't enter. However, I believe they got to choose what was the rules would be.
I dropped that rule because it resulted in more work for me and it didn't help with the numbers. Suggestions for future contests should be made in the BOTM Ideas and Discussion thread.

Keeping with tradition, December is going to be an anything goes BOTM with a Christmas theme. Here's how this works. Every participant creates a bot that follows the given bot restrictions for that month. They then create a simple splash for their bot and uploaded it to GTM's BOTM Uploader before the deadline expires. After the deadline expires, a poll will be created for the community to vote on their favorite entry. At the end of the month, the splash with the most votes will be put on GTM's homepage for a month. Bot RestrictionsSplash Rules- Must be Christmas themed
- Entries must be uploaded using the BOTM Uploader
- One bot per splash
- One splash per member
- Please do not put anything in that identifies you as the creator. Credit will be given after the poll to reduce bias and give people a chance to guess who made what.
- There must be at least one image of the insides in the splash
- The weight must be given in the splash
- Images must be either JPG, PNG, or GIF.
- Images must be no wider than 700px and no taller than 800px
- Entries must be in by November 26, 2014 at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time (GMT - 5:00) so that we can spent the rest of the month voting.
Please upload your entries using the BOTM Uploader within 0 seconds... Better luck next time, it looks like this contest isn't taking new entries anymore.. Questions/comments?

To be completely honest, I should really be thanking you and everyone else that participated. We had a great turnout of 11 different entrants and 46 voters!

Thats weird. I've never heard of that happening before. As such, I'm not quite sure how to fix it. I suppose I could finish coding an Action Cam equivalent to replace it...

Congratulations, TBD Devastator.
I've added all the builder names to the poll and the OP.

Cyberlink power2go is a program that is often preinstalled on new computers. What probably happened is the dialog took focus away from RA2 and resulted in RA2 being left running in the background. Thats why you saw the icon on the taskbar and could return to it.
Its been years since I last used RA2 in fullscreen mode so I can't remember if it stretches or uses letterboxes if the ratio is different. If you don't want stretching or even letterboxes, you can set a custom resolution inside of the CFG file.
The music skipping/stopping has to do with RA2 not being multithreaded very well. You can't do much to fix this issue but what you can do is disable the music entirely in the settings menu and use an external program for playing music.

I don't think we should have the results show until the poll is closed. Isn't that how ACAMS did it?
Good point, only just noticed that.
Never used to have the totals running during voting.
My mistake. I somehow tapped the wrong radio button when I created the poll.

Not much time left. Be sure to get your entries in before the deadline.

If you feel more comfortable with IRL than just do it. You would get far more complaints if it was unrealistic and you entered an IRL bot. I chose this style because I figured that it would give the best turn out.
Less than a week and a half before the poll gets started so please try to get your entries in before the deadline.
