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 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.


Current Members

Robot Name Image Builder Date of induction Notes
Child's Play IV Childs Play IV.JPG ACAMS 2010 1 The champion of BBEANS 3, built by a true legend of the game, Child's Play, also featured in Starcore V4, never looked back once it set off on its winning streak.
Drumblebee DrumbleBee2.JPG Clickbeetle 2010 1 Drumblebee was one of Clickbeetle's first bots. However, in its updated form, it has become one of the most feared robots around. It preys on wheels and exposed extender work.
EMERGENCY EMERGENCY.JPG Gabriel Interactive 2010 1 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.
E-Rupt ERupt.png JimXorb 2010 1 The pioneer of the Rupt Glitch, E-Rupt tossed all robots, from EMERGENCY to Killer high in the air. Many a bot has been inspired by this.
Flaming Whizzer Flaming Whizzer.jpg Polinator 2010 1 The champion of BBEANS 1, the most prestigious AI tournament, Flaming Whizzer became renowned. The 11 high speed razor tips flattened the opposition.
Hazardous Contraption Hazardous Contraption.jpg Naryar 2010 1 The champion of BBEANS 4, HazCon was an innovative fast and wedgey design. Still effective today, the first and only BBEANS winner to come up from the losers bracket remains a fan favourite.
Mako Mako.JPG Jules 2010 1 Despite finishing second in 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.
Spinner from the West Sftw.jpg razer 2010 1 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.

Current Honorable Mentions

Absolute Chaos Ac.JPG InfiniteInertia 2010 1 Often mistaken for being the first ever 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 it in BBEANS 5.
Death Port 2 Deathport2.PNG JimXorb & Be0t 2010 1 Death Port 2 is a historic bot for two reasons. Not only did it win the first ever official tournament, but it was the first popup ever to have been created. The contraversial design soon attained huge usage, and is a staple design today.
Digital Apocalypse Dapocalypse.PNG TDS 2010 1 Digital Apocalypse was one of the first vertical spinners, and a sucessful one too. Today, some lightweights are able to beat it, the robot's legacy lives on to this day.
Fury FuryV4.JPG Starcore 2010 1 The middleweight of the Starcore packs that was the bane of many a player. Fury would tear through plows, ramplates, weapons and chassis alike, crushing bot after bot.
Insult to Injury V ItI.PNG Alterer of Reality 2010 1 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 ramer, a 36 mace spinner and the defending champion before being defeated in BBEANS 5.
Neglected Waterbug NeglectedWaterbug.JPG Rejected 2010 1 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.
Project Trinity Trinity.PNG MAD Scientist 2010 1 The first bot to make use of the highly effective Trinity Glitch, MAD Scientist's Project Trinity wowed many a builder.
Rabid Pit Bull RPB.JPG Rejected 2010 1 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.
Seism 13 S13.PNG Firebeetle 2010 1 Firebeetle's innovative popup was the champion of BBEANS 5. Using Linear Actuators to make adjustable wedges, it took down HS and Popup alike, storming through the bracket to win the championship.
Smashbox 2 Smashbox 2.JPG MikeNCR 2010 1 MikeNCR's powerful flipper threw out many an opposing robot. It was the only robot other than Shebeast in BBEANS 2 to defeat the feared Mako, defeating it in the championship match.
SnSnSnSnS SnSnSnSnS Splash.JPG Somebody 2010 1 Somebody put together a deadly SnS for Clash Cubes 1. It dominated its opponents, smashing every single one into the walls. A slight scare from Grey Matter didn't stop it from achieving its goals and becoming grand champion.
Tha Thumperizer ThaThumperizer.jpg Radio F Software 2010 1 Unlike most robots is this Hall, Tha Thumperizer isn't remembered for winning any contests or being hugely fierce. Instead, this RFS AI HW became a meme. If you lost, you were 'THUMPERIZED'. Its legend still lives on.
ULTIMATUM Ultimatum.jpg Sage 2010 1 ULTIMATUM is one of the most space efficient HS ever. It was another highly feared bot that scared the living daylights out of many, as one of the few legal bots known to have defeated Hammer of Justice.
