RA2: Backlash is a all new conversion mod currently being constructed by JoeBlo. RA2: Backlash (more more commonly referred to as simply Backlash) is a standalone RA2 version that amps up the damage, speed and power of motors, drive, weapons, etc and reduces the HP and fracture of everything, thus making it really destructive.

General Rules/ Guidelines

general rules: rules as in how the norm will be excepted, for example DSL is always excepted as realism unless it is specified different, so...

the game is focused on spinner robots, thus the only possible robots to build with the parts are..

HS

Full Body Drum

Rammer

Realistic rules (making a robot that would act or is buildable in real life) will also be included
