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.

EMERGENCY 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 Sftw.jpg 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 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.

Mako Mako.JPG Jules 58% voted for Mako 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.
E-Rupt Erupt.png JimXorb 52% voted for E-Rupt 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.

Insult to Injury V ItI.PNG Alterer of Reality 40% voted for ItI V The SFTW that wasn't.
