You could also make the ring have an easily changed (modded) logo for wrestling/MMA/Boxing fans. Also forgot to add that the bots bounce off the ring ropes (just like in wrestling).
EDIT:
It seems doable but I have a few questions. If you make the walls bouncy and they are low enough for bots to hit them then how are they suppose to get into the arena? It wouldn't be too difficult to make the walls unsubstantial but did you want it done differently? Also by "ring apron" do you mean the ledge between the ropes and the steps? If so, you're likely to have problems with bots falling off or partially off the ledge. As far as weapon spawning goes, the best I can really do is toss an object into the arena from the sidelines. Bots can not pick up objects or have them attached during a match. Edit your post with the answers to these questions and I'll put you down as a valid entry (you'll be labeled as being an invalid entry until then).
1. Perhaps they can teleport in (create same bot in another location and remove original)?
2. By ring apron I mean the area on the ring that is outside of the ropes, I'd just say make the area large enough to hold a HW on there or have a low invisible wall to prevent robots falling off.
3. For the weapon I'd like them to spawn upright in the neutral corners and setup so that when a robot makes contact with it the object breaks and that robot takes damage.
EDIT #2:
1. Unfortunately, neither teleporting nor respawning are possible in RA2. I can blink the lights and launch the bots into the arena using a force command but it wouldn't give you the results that you are looking for.
2. Making an invisible wall would be fine but it would look kind of wonky when the second bot tried to get onto the ledge (assuming that both bots on a team are entering the arena from off stage). I was already thinking that we could make the collision mesh for the stairs into a ramp but to give wide bots the ability to turn without touching the ropes, the ramp would need to end quite a bit sooner than the display mesh which would make it look pretty bad whenever something drove on top of it.
3. That would work.
1. Force command thing sounds alright, we just need them to get in and out of the ring anyway possible.
2. An invisible collision mesh all around the ring with a gap for the ring ramp sounds like a good idea. You could make the ramp larger and put it near one of the neutral corners.
3. Would it be possible for the table to break and have parts of the table possibly land on the bot? The ladder could just fall on top of the bot and cause damage.
