One thing we would have to agree on is a standardised arena for the whole thing. Any suggestions?

Well personally I'd like an arena with low walls - makes it easier for ALL bot types. Something like the RW arena, but maybe without the hazards that everyone seems to hate.

Maybe we could ask Wham to share his [reskinned] WRR arena with us?

The RW arena is big, so it can be hard to film four robots in.

I agree with Craaig, we must have an arena with low walls. I'd quite like to use the BBEANS 5 arena with hazards turned off, but let's see what the others have to say.

Expanding on Craaig's idea, if we include the subclasses then all of team 2 can join
Stock AW
Stock BW
Stock SHW
DSL AW
DSL BW
DSL SHW

RAW 1 arena, with the walls lowered a bit more?

Also I don't want the subclasses, that just gets to be too much.

I think, because I hate LW tournaments (GUmba UGHSEYGIEVRILYVWEOUYVSDFIUSEFjksefIUfv) it should be the top 4 (chosen from either playoffs or popular vote) and the categories are DSL HW, DSL MW, Stock HW, Stock MW. Each person of the 4 gets to build 1. If there are not 4 people representing a team, a person can build more than one bot to represent his country.

You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

1) I like it
2) Agreed
3) Just because you don't like LW's doesn't mean we should all miss out on battles for them. However, if many people don't want to use them, I won't kick up a fuss.

Have you seen GUMBA LW division? I agree this was in part because of the overly large arena, but that is exactly what will happen when we use an arena that we are also using HWs for (because we agreed to have a standardized arena for all battles).


UK (United Kingdom) is in the category of Europe.

You could use the Small Arena for LWs, and another arena for MWs and HWs.

UK team should be... i dunno... XD

Sys, Wham and me? or someone? XD
[Also addressed to other UK-based posts]

Well, I'm UK... probably even pure UK. *Shrug*

Well you Sys and Wham?
(Sorry was unaware that you're from the UK too :P)

How about a qualifier? There's you, Red, Sys, Wham, Zog, Ashman, LDL and me who are all interested. (If there's going to be a Scandinavian team I'll be in that instead)

One of us could do a Series 7-style heat or something similar. I could host it if no-one else wanted to.

UK-based team, eh?
