EDIT: WTF at my match, I spin around dominating the match then just randomly jump out of the arena. It never did anything that extreme in testing. Very dissappointed.  I don't think it was random. I think your opponent hit you and caused your bot to become slightly off balance, so that the wheel wasn't getting proper traction. When it regained traction, the speed and torque it had flung your bot OOTA.

I'll be playing this game so long as their continues to be a community devoted to it.

Don't mix stock and DSL
As in mixing isn't just frowned upon, it is against the rules.

You calling DSL unbalanced when you play stock...
Indeed, though I'm not sure why you guys are still using spoilers. Anyways, I liked the end of the third round of Battle 10; did not see that coming.

Remove God Mode as.. well, Hax Mode? More like Hoax mode.
Remove God Mode? Why in the world would I remove a nominated bot? We can all agree that God Mode is a real robot, so nominating it is valid. We just can't be certain that it uses Hax Mode. That is something for voters to decide, not me.

There are slots cut in the parts where the saws are going through the chassis.
That's not the problem. The problem is that this bot is not like ANYTHING you will ever see IRL, so it is not in the spirit of Battlebots.

I'll be entering this one. Hopefully my bot gets voted in...

LOL everyone in this thread is so mad.
I don't think anyone in this thread is mad, though come to think of it I am a little bothered that Sage and Scrap would create this thread, already having planned on not releasing it. It seems to just be saying, "Look at how awesome this glitch we discovered is. But we don't trust you newbs so we are going to keep it a secret." I mean why show off a glitch that you plan to never reveal? To get some attention?

That's syllables, not words.
Actually it's four words and a prefix: Un-be-leave-a-bull

I have an over 36-HS. Should I use that?
You mean you have a poorly made, RAD drive, 36 iron HS with an extra random spike sticking up from one of the extenders. You think if AC switched to RAD drive it could afford a few more weapons? Of course. The the trick is to have HP Z-tech drive and then have over 36 well placed weapons. EDIT: Bot is right here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5896.msg364542.html#msg364542

According to the RA2Wiki, E-Rupt, EMERGENCY, Spinner From the West, and Child's Play IV are already in the Hall of Fame.
It is being reset.

Am I the only one thinking "God Mode" shouldnt be included since there still isnt 100% proof of Hax Mode being legit?
IMO it simply isn't important enough as a robot to be included in the Hall.

I picked 10, though it was hard narrowing it down to that many for me.
That was kind of the point. I wanted to make sure only the best of the best got in.

I know I probably shouldn't be voting in this in the first place as my knowledge of Ra2 history is limited, but still.
You could choose to just vote for ones you know about, seeing as you can vote for less than 10 bots if desired.

it doesn't look realistic.

Would you be able to suggest an alternative to the ramplate then?
DSL Bar perhaps?

Alright, the voting phase of the RA2 Hall of Fame has now begun and will end August 1st.
Voters are allowed to vote for up to ten bots that they think deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Seeing as there could easily be some discussion/persuasion, I decided to allow people to change their votes, but will keep the tally hidden until the poll closes.
To hopefully kick off some discussion, I have paraphrased the reason(s) provided (if there was one) for each nominee:
Ultimatum: None given, though I imagine it was one of the (if not the) first 36HS.
Hammer of Justice: None given, though it is one of the largest bots ever.
Tempus Fugit: None given, though it was a very good LW HS for its time.
Neglected Waterbug: One of the most iconic jugglers (and bots), and had incredible wedges. It spawned a host of clones and gave the Juggler bot type life.
Spinner from the West: This bot, unlike many equally terrible bots, became representative of all the poor tournament bots, and has had more impact on RA2 culture than almost any other bot.
Insult to Injury V: The bot incarnation of the razer guy run, Insult to Injury V proved to be surprisingly effective, and shows you should never underestimate a bot, even if it was a "SFTW."
Project Trinity: First bot to utilize the Trinity Glitch.
E-Rupt: Innovator (and namer) of the Rupt Glitch.
R4: None given, though it was a very successful popup.
Seism 13: With a BBEANS Championship and innovative wedges, this is one of the most well known popups.
EMERGENCY: The bane of every new players' existence, EMERGENCY was clearly the most battle worthy Stock AI bot of all.
Hazardous Contraption: Put jugglers into the spotlight with its BBEANS 4 Championship.
Mako: One of the most cloned bots ever, Mako packed a serious punch and defined the VS class for years.
Iron Spaghetti: The first Flail Sheck Spinner entered into a tournament, Iron Spaghetti gave new life to the design and inspired its massive surge in popularity.
Child's Play IV: Winner of the BBEANS 3 Championship, Child's Play showed that faster weapons aren't always better, and remains a powerful design even today.
SnSnSnSnS: Took the community by storm after its debut in CC 1 and strong performance by its SHW counterpart in CC2, this bot forced tournaments to be held in open arenas and was for a time invincible.
Flaming Wizzer: Won the first even BBEANS tournament.
Absolute Chaos: The second 36HS, AC revolutionized bot building, and its designed became archetypal, so much so that it is considered a mark of achievement in a building career to replicate its design.
Fury: A fearsome and iconic MW HS.
Death Port: The first popup, Death Port stole the show with several tournament victories and gave HSs something to fear.
Rabid Pit Bull: One of the first truely battle worthy FSs, RPB introduced a trapping design that fundamentally changed the way FSs were built.
Iced Out: First showcased popup.
Alien Queen: An iconic VS design.
God Mode: First demonstration of the infamous Hax Mode being used on a competitive bot.
Bladewave: The most effective wammer.
Fast n' Furious: One of the most difficult True Popups.
Eclipse: The RA2 communities first real introduction to Narmor.

This glitch however I do not know it's level of difficulties. It is quite possible that the few bad apples can pull it off and cause a lot of unnecessary dramas.
Again, as long as some potential harm is present, with no perceivable benefit, the only rational decision is to not release. I mean, what will making things tighter do? Make HS more powerful relative to popups? God Mode with exostack? I just can't see any benefit in it.
If there is no real benefit that can be extracted by using the glitch, then exactly what drama are newcomers going to cause? It would be like someone new coming into DSL and stacking all of their components. People will tell them that they are not following the communities standards and they will either change their ways or be shunned. Likewise, if someone did use Hax Mode, the only thing they would get out of it would be a mega stacked bot that would reek of the glitch. We would tell them that competitive stock bots aren't built with the glitch and they will either abandon it or be shunned. The only thing I see changing is that we might have to take a look at how much stacking we consider tolerable (do we draw the line at 4 blacks or 3?), so that we can regulate those who are using the glitch more covertly. I think basic common sense should be enough, though perhaps not. Like I have said, this is just a part of our communities' evolution, same as when BFE and AAM came around. The community makes a decision on regulation and life goes on. Now I can see a few benefits to this glitch. Most abstractly, the glitch could better our understanding of game mechanics, and through continued testing of it possible lead to even cooler glitches and/or anomalies. I can also see it being useful (depending on how easy it is) for people to stack batteries and such (within the agreed upon limits). I mean if the glitch saves a lot of time, why not use it? In DSL, I can maybe see it being used against components with dodgy meshes (like that accursed 6-mag gearbox). So there are some possible benefits that could come from Hax Mode, and the possible cons don't seem to be severe enough to force the glitch to remain secret.

We are not breaking new grounds, we are not doing anything that isn't possible with BFE. It is simply a new "method" of doing things. This is unlike "higgs boson" where you "don't know" what will come out of it. This is stuff anyone who tap into BFE/game balance know exactly how it will be abused because they already been there and done that.
But clearly BFE hasn't caused the end of stock or DSL. It is possible that stock building may change, but in my opinion it is better to err on the side of openness then to speculate on what could happen, and use said speculation to help ensure this glitch never sees the light of day.

It just needs to be armored enough.
Well that rules out my bot. :P
