As far as I know, you can really only go for one of the 2. Perhaps try a different screen recorder?

I know Sonny uses/has used a reskinned DSL Tournament arena. You negate the flipper and dropzone issues but there's no pit and no crowd/backdrop/control panels.

In the effects section, I believe. Shouldn't be difficult to find.
That's how I always dealt with this (and same with many others)

please guys vg showdown 2 will happen i promise

I feel like I need to do this for my own mental stability. HA has probably been my biggest regret on GTM, as it was my first tournament and I had no idea how to format it. I've been thinking for a good couple years and I've finally got it down.
Rules:
- Ironforge MW
- Standard DSL-ish building rules. However, if you want to build IRL, it will be accepted.
- 3 minute matches
- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- BFE, AAM, NCR, Thyrus glitches not allowed
- No hax mode
- Cannot use DSA
- Multibots are not allowed
- No armor attached directly to the chassis of the robot
- Cheatbot2 components are not allowed
- Each bot must have at least 2 wheels
Format:
Bots will be split up into two teams. The first two people to enter will get to pick teams. Each episode (round), one entrant will me eliminated. It is possible that two or even zero robots will be eliminated in an episode, but it is unlikely. If teams are uneven by 2, then they will be evened out. Teams will continue until the final 6, where the competition will turn to individual. The last bot standing wins.
The good news about this format is that I can essentially take any amount of robots, as long as it is an even number (so teams will be even).
So yeah. Let me know if there's anything I need to add/remove. Feedback is appreciated.
(Sorry for taking so long to get to this) This is now a Signups topic, and the rules above may not change. You have 1 year. :)

The main gimmick of this is that there will two bots per entrant, one MW and one LW. It'll be a tag team tournament where they will fight as like a hero and sidekick if you will. You can make any kind of duo from your own creativity or from one that represents something in a pair of two.
RULES:
- DSL-S MW and LW
- 16 Entrants
- 2 Bots per entrant (1 MW and 1 LW) is required to enter
- I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot (You can't change the AI after the signups close. If you want to AI, make sure you're happy with it.)
- You cannot enter unless your bots are received and accepted
- I will only accept entries via PM
- You cannot try to find any loopholes in the rules
BUILDING RULES:
- DSL-S MW (249.1 399.0) and LW (175.1-249.0) Only
- You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, txt file editing, etc.
- No cheatbot2 parts or custom components at all.
- Bots must have at least two wheels and show controlled movement
- Crawlers and Multibots are banned.
- Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots are not allowed.
- You can update your bot as much as you please until signups end
BATTLE RULES:
- 2 vs 2 match format
- 3 minute length matches
- Double Elimination Bracket
- DSL Tournament Arena, hazards on (Reskinned)
- If one robot havoks once, costing the match that bot gets a free restart, If it happens again, that bot will be disqualified (Same rules apply If one bot loses for a dumb reason, like getting stuck or sitting in one place)
- Judging will determined by the damage points at the end of the match
Arena:
My Entries:
This will also be the concept splash. 
Do I need to make any changes?
This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change, you have a year. Enjoy! :)

You have just 14 days to finish this. I would consider moving on without those entries and using an empty slot.

Also, I know what you said about kronic but will you release all the robots that you have to axe some time as bonus content?
This has been explained SO much...
Ok then. Explain it please.
...Really? If permission is NOT given, they will NOT be released, whether it be in the mod or in a 'bonus pack'/'extension pack'. The roboteer, if they deny permission, has denied that bot being released with anything to do with this mod, and likely anything HB makes for the considerable future.

Gave it a subpar temporary weapon for the weekend just so it wasn't a wedge. Then I burnt a speed controller. Oops. Either way, he still looks cheerful, and has his own totally awesome [/lies] tshirt.

You'll probably have a hard time getting something with W7 in the UK, plus W8 will be supported for longer. I prefer 7 but at some point everyone's gonna have to let go, as with XP.

You'll have more trouble with RA2 on Mac than W8 for sure.

Pretty much any new laptop or PC you get will run RA2 perfectly. It's over 10 years old and wasn't exactly massively demanding at the time.
You could probably get a pretty decent gaming PC or laptop for £800, not that I'd know. Here probably isn't the place to ask, go look at Amazon reviews.
