Revision as of 03:07, 17 April 2010 by Peirre saade (talk | contribs)
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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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
Robot Name | Image | Builder | Date of induction | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Absolute Chaos | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 rammer, a 36 mace spinner and the defending champion before being defeated in BBEANS 5. | |
Neglected Waterbug | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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. |
