The '''RA2 Hall of Fame''' was set up in 2010 by [[Badnik96]]. He, after a suggestion by [[Sonny_Resetti]] announced the format as similar to [http://members.toast.net/joerger/hall_of_fame.html The Combat Robot Hall of Fame]. Everybody would vote anonymously, and any robot on 50% of the ballots would be inducted to the hall. Any robot on 25-49% of the votes would be given an honourable mention.
The first Ballot was taken on February 21, 2010 by Badnik96.
In August 2011, [[Urjak]] restarted the Hall of Fame, using a new system proposed by [[JoeBlo]] where a set of nominees were established via PM votes, and the final ten inductees were decided by a poll on the main forum. This allowed for a massive turnout of 52 voters.

|[[EMERGENCY]]
|[[Image:EMERGENCY.JPG]]
|[[Gabriel Interactive]]
|75% voted for EMERGENCY
|Everyone's original nightmare, EMERGENCY the flipper bot dominated many player's early careers. With its custom wedges, double strength steel, and raw pushing power, it was the first real accomplishment of a builder's career to beat this one.
|-
|[[Spinner from the West]]
|[[Image:sftw.jpg|250px]]
|[[razer]]
|73% voted for SFTW
|SFTW has been immmortalized for being terrible. As one of the worst bots ever to have entered a [[BBEANS]] tournament, it has become a meme and a component.
|-
|[[Neglected Waterbug]]
|[[Image:NeglectedWaterbug.JPG]]
|[[Rejected]]
|67% voted for Neglected Waterbug
|The robot with the best wedges of the [[Starcore AI packs]], Rejected's juggler struck, and continues to strike fear into the most accomplished of builders. It took pleasure in shredding the underside of every robot.
|-
|[[Absolute Chaos]]
|[[Image:Ac.JPG]]
|[[InfiniteInertia]]
|67% voted for Absolute Chaos
|Often mistaken for being the first ever [[36HS|36 mace spinner]] (actually the second), InfiniteInertia's pride and joy took building to a whole new extreme. One of the deadliest bots around even today, nobody wanted to face [[Absolute Chaos (BBEANS)|it]] in [[BBEANS#BBeans 5|BBEANS 5]].
|-
|[[Mako]]
|[[File:Mako.JPG]]
|[[Jules]]
|58% voted for Mako
|Despite finishing second in [[BBEANS#BBEANS 2|BBEANS 2]], Mako is often remembered more than the victor, [[Smashbox 2]]. With the tremendously powerful hammers and innovative wedges, it threw many an opponent from the arena.
|-
|[[E-Rupt]]
|[[File:Erupt.png]]
|[[JimXorb]]
|52% voted for E-Rupt
|The pioneer of the [[Rupt Glitch]], E-Rupt tossed all robots, from EMERGENCY to [http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/Battleshots/killerandemergency.jpg Killer] high in the air. Many a bot has been inspired by this.

|[[Hammer of Justice]]
|[[Image:HoJ.JPG]]
|[[Firebeetle]]
|48% voted for HoJ
|One of the largest bots in history, Hammer of Justice gave many players the pleasure of flattening their opponents.
|-
|[[Insult to Injury V]]
|[[Image:ItI.PNG]]
|[[Alterer of Reality]]
|40% voted for ItI V
|The SFTW that wasn't. Alterer of Reality's [[VS]] was criticised for numerous flaws, but thanks to ballasts and its surprisingly effective spiked clubs, it took down a favoured rammer, a 36 mace spinner and the defending champion before being defeated in [[BBEANS#BBEANS 5|BBEANS 5]].
|-
|[[Project Trinity]]
|[[Image:Trinity.PNG|300px]]
|[[MAD Scientist]]
|38% voted for Project Trinity
|The first bot to make use of the highly effective [[Trinity Glitch]], MAD Scientist's Project Trinity wowed many a builder.
|-
|[[Rabid Pit Bull]]
|[[Image:RPB.JPG|200px]]
|[[Rejected]]
|37% voted for RPB
|Rejected took a simple [[face spinner]] and turned it into this, a ferocuious monster that chewed bots to pieces, and to this day is one of the best face spinners around.
