Hey lads, I'm just posting this because I want a picturesque database of well known heavyweight arenas around the world used in popular events, non of this daft featherweight or ant weight crap as I need a list that I can pick arenas to make for my AI patch.

First off, obviously there were the obviously the Robot wars, Battlebots and robotica arenas but what other untelevised robotic combat events had their own arenas throughout the world?

Robot Wars (RAF base Newton)

Battlebots (San Francisco)

Robotica

Roaming Robots/Robot Wars Live (location varies)

Combots/Robogames (San Mateo)

Robodome (Brighton/Portsmouth)

Dutch Robot Games (location varies across Holland)

If someone can list other arenas, particularly what they used in Holland, Canada and I think Japan had a crack at it. Then it would be much appreciated, just please no daft box arenas.

How about this one?

There already is a FTTF arena, but it has no walls, so all you'd have to do is add them.

I'll go ahead and agree with this. Loose objects and all.

Oh god, that looks damn difficult to make. May as well still have a crack at it though.

Are there no other commonly used arenas in the world?
I'm sure there was one around 2004-2005 in America that had two flip out zones and a pit?

Are you thinking of the Steel Conflict arena?

HereticBlue · « **Reply #9 on:** June 17, 2014, 08:13:04 AM »

Hmm maybe, it does seem quite a bit like it. Regardless, that's a damn nice arena.

helloface · « **Reply #10 on:** June 17, 2014, 04:28:58 PM »

That arena looks simple enough, you could do that one as a warmup arena before you tackle the other one

The one from 1995? That's a pretty good idea.

I'd still love anyone to death if they did a RW Series 2 Gauntlet.

I'd love to but I think it would only work if I made two, mirrored to each other with the battle arena between them. But because the gauntlet is straight, AI should get lost going through the obsticals... It's just I'm a purist when it comes down to... Well anything! I would rather do it accurately :P

As for the 1995 "Rowbat Worz" arena as the Americans say... I do think it would be essential because it was the first arena but it's very simplistic. It depends really. Anyone got good photos of the battle area and the hazards? I can only remember a net & a very simple but fragile plastic bat what swung horizontally.
