I've been thinking about this for a while and might have bugged ACAMS about it before but why isn't there a user group for IRL robot builders?

'cause...
I honestly don't know why.

It's not really a major group on the boards, though, is it? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are you, Vertigo and Mike. The forum is an RA2 forum, primarily, IRL Robotics does take a back seat here.

Vertigo
MikeNCR

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

If the real builders want to be in a builders group, we can consider it as it will not be that much work on my part.
Post here if you do, but you will have to think of a short group name, color, and I INSIST that the group members post a request in a builders thread I will start after details are worked out.

I feel so left out...

I also build some combat robots. However, I am pretty neutral on the user group idea.

I do too.

They deserve a group. Especially since IRL robotics is likely what brought most, if not all of us to play RA2 in the first place.

Do it or I'll post in Crimson : D

^ POST OF THE YEAR ^

Well the user group for IRL robot builders would be bigger then Spiderweight or the Heavy Poster gruop SB used to have

Also the IRL Builders list is larger then the limited user list.. and that would count for something :P

but not all IRL builders (including me) would get the title due to already having one..

Why is not multi titles supported?

On second thought I like that.. lets have ACAMS make that user group for me

Nice idea SKBT :D

We should have a criteria though, like they must have made a Feather/Raptor, or atleast a Kilobot (Beetleweight), or an Ant that has had some form of success
To stop people who have made a so-called robot out of their lego box :P

OK, suggestions:

Name: Roboteer, or IRL Roboteer
Colour: Umm, green maybe?
