I think the criteria should be a active buildersdb profile or whatever you UK guys use for event registration to prove that you are a builder. Or it could be as simple as submitting a picture of a bot with you forum username in the picture to prove it's your bot.

As for names a guess IRL roboteer or IRL builder works and green would be fine as the title color.

Look at the roaming robots database and you'll see why that won't work :P

IRL in the title sounds silly..

Just Roboteer or Builder would be my vote..

Now that I look at both Joe's right. (again :P) The IRL part does sound silly.

Yeah, Roboteer, or at most True Roboteer is enough for the title.

I also don't think we have used Steel Blue for a title yet, its as good a choice as Spring Green.

Green is for berfdays.

Kujii · « **Reply #27 on:** April 14, 2011, 10:51:36 PM »

How about Steel Blue?

RA2 is much more fun than real bots......and you can fight in your underwear!

... how exactly is this any different from real life?

Kujii · « **Reply #29 on:** April 15, 2011, 12:48:20 AM »

IRL they make you put on pants for tournaments.

IRL I can't just throw parts together and hope it works.

IRL, mistakes cost money to fix, here we have a delete button.

Blue is used by Mods, Green for birthdays

since Barbie isnt around Pink is free for you builders :P

I want pink. ^_^

I have about decided on everything, except whether the REAL builders really want it.

We have to cut a line somewhere

I don't mean to put anyone down here, I encourage anyone trying to build robots, as we need as many roboteers as we can get. However, I'm not sure you can call yourself a "proper"roboteer by building something like this:

We need some sort of criteria, as in building atleast a FW, or an AW that has had some form of success in combat (as in 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a compotition)

Like I say, please don't take this the wrong way, but we will have to draw the line somewhere, or else we'd have 20 or so "Roboteer" members, when there definently aren't that many

Somebody · « **Reply #36 on:** April 17, 2011, 05:36:18 PM »

I would just say that it should have been in a competition or reach an undefined level of win (like Joe's bots)

Vertigo · « **Reply #37 on:** April 18, 2011, 01:49:29 AM »

If I were to put down a list of people I would judge to deserve the roboteer title, then they should be as follows:

Me (C'mon, Explosion just became second best FW in the UK yesterday :P)
MikeNCR (Could have a choice wether to keep Veteran or cahnge to roboteer?)
SKBT
WhammettNuht
zipdragon64
JoeBlo (Although he would keep moderator title I assume :P)

I personally would leave it at that

Mostly because I think the "Roboteers", should be people who do attend events regularly, not just a one off. They should be regular members of the forum IMO (not much point giving it to greenbot), and should also be respected as a forum member

Please don't take this the wrong way, as I said before, but we need to draw the line somewhere

G.K. · « **Reply #38 on:** April 18, 2011, 03:16:55 AM »

And haz, IMHO.

Vertigo · « **Reply #39 on:** April 18, 2011, 03:19:28 AM »

Ah yes, of course
