The original one for the qualifiers, yeah :)

no one builds anymore except for people who suck and wont listen

wtf are you smoking, there are still good players building bots, and it's no surprise that nobody listens to your advice since it usually boils down to "durr wouldn't work IRL"

the irl clique is in full toxic mode

[citation needed]
Maybe people are "toxic" to you because you're an endless stream of negativity and condescension

idek why i still visit this site

Consider stopping 🙃

Badger it's very rare I agree with you but my god, thank you for summing this up perfectly!

We all thought Lady Luck finally left me alone, but she pops back up to give me one final kick in the balls... 

I don't think I've ever been more gutted over a result to be quite honest!

These are some good bots, and some of them are super-inventive, like the 360-degree drum spinner and Pipe Dream. You've massively improved as a builder, which is great to see.

Agreed with F1, more stuff like this please!

General Support / Re: RA2 v1.4 .zip file (for those, who can't successfully extract the .rar. file)

« on: April 18, 2019, 09:50:05 AM »

I know, but I also have encountered some people that have had this problem, but, again, this is for those really rare, 1/50 chance situations.
This kind of event rarely happens, so I just posted this download for that little slice of people.

One of the rar openers I know doesn't work for this- DR Archiver.


Let's just say- the RA2 v1.4 rar file works for 85% of people, which is very high.

Please name a few of these people, I'm curious.

How come Ursula lost it's seeding to Xeniii? Did also have stacked teeth like The Tinned Tuna?

No, some drama happened outside of the competition itself that resulted in Ursula losing its seed.

To clarify, TheSeaborg asked to be pulled from OW3 before asking to be let back in a few weeks later. That is why it lost it's seed.

Ursula's Unofficial Reign has come to end. Shame really.

Don't think the weapon change fully helped it to be honest!

The Tag Team event is here: who will claim the final 2 spots from the Desperado events?


Also....we are holding an AUDIENCE VOTE for a spot in the Ro32. You can vote for ONE robot that you feel deserves to be in the Ro32 but you CANNOT vote for your own robot.

PLEASE DM ME YOUR VOTE, DON'T PUT IT HERE! You have till 10PM BST.

Use the spreadsheet to help you out: bots in red are OUT, bots in gold are already through to the Ro32 so you can't vote for those: (spoilers from the Tag Team event btw so you should watch that first)
