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.

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.

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.
