Hey everyone... so last Friday, I had the awesome opportunity to visit the Encore office, meet some of the devs, and see the game so far. Firebeetle came too--he's definitely looking forward to RAIII even though he's not very involved with RA2 these days, and he had some good ideas.
I thought I'd pop in here and, as a trusted member of GTM, help allay some of the fears floating around.
I can't give any details about the game unless I get it cleared with the dev team first, but I can say this: RAIII is in good hands. The team actually seems really enthusiastic about making a worthy successor to RA2. This is no quick cash-grab for the return of Battlebots and Robot Wars--they told me they actually started planning the game before the Battlebots reboot was announced.
Without getting too specific, there are of course still some issues that need to be worked out before the final release, but nothing to cause major concern. If you have a question along the lines of "will X ruin the game", then the answer, based on what I've seen so far, is "no".
In conclusion: Don't panic. RAIII is very promising and I'm looking forward to the release. 
I have 1 question, I'm not sure if you can answer it, but I hope you can. Is the damage model functionally identical to RA2?

Any predictions for Match 4, or the lower bracket matches?
Oh, and a question. Would you rather I release there 1 or 2 a day like I have been doing, or as soon as I make them (which would work out to probably 3/4 a day)?

Don't worry, I have both bots. The challenge will definitely be done, just have patience.
Any ETA? Not to be impatient, but I'm pretty hyped to see my bot, even if it gets rekt

Am I the only one who is really annoyed that this is steam only? I really want a PS4 version cause the only thing computer wise I have is a crap school level laptop.
Not to sound like a downer, but I'm super happy that it's not on consoles. They would have to totally rape the workshop to make it truly controller friendly, and it takes way too much time and money to port a game for a tiny indie dev like these guys

glad their trying to answer some of our questions. kinda worried they didn't adress the DLC/Microtransaction issue, but I don't think they would actually implement that.
also:
questions we received from two members of the mod community who were kind enough to come into our offices. wonder who that was... i know Clickbeetle said he lives pretty close to the publisher... pretty sure Trov is also in Minnestoa
inb4 its was Wen and DeadGenocide, driven there by TRB inb4 RA3 is released as an undertale fangame

Actually, I think 09's shouldn't be allowed since it uses custom components. I know they are just re-skins, but that's in the rules, which should make the bot illegal. I know it's the hosts call in the end, but I thought I should say something. No offense 09.
Yeah, I'm still on the fence as whether to allow skinned components in any future tournaments I do, but the rules have already been set and I have no intentions of allowing them ot be bypassing. I'm sure 09 just skimmed the rules and didn't read the "no skinned components" rule

you could bfe swap the skinned components to non-skinned components
Tried doing that, but I'm not sure what the file names of the skinned components are. I'll take another look @ it. Edit: Went over it again, swapped the skinned component, still crashes my game.

 Thrackerzod has offered to give up his spot to 090901. I'm pm'ing him back to confirm, but assuming he is sure of himself, 090901 gets in. Edit: Confirmed

090901 can 1v1 me for the last spot.
Yo if 090901 is up for that I can host a challenge with your submitted bots, I would be totally cool w/ that.

Alright, I should have enough time to get this thing done now.
CHANGES: - Changed arena from Ring to BBEANS V2 - Cemented "No popups" rule.

So Microsoft made a twitter bot that tried to use conversations with the public to learn how to converse in a way that seemed natural. Of course twitter memesters 'programmed' it to say edgy sh** and this is the result:
