Overview
The Bridge of Doom is one of RA2's more elaborate arenas. It consists of a rectangular playing area with a large trench running through the center of the arena. This trench is traversed by a narrow bridge, lending the arena its namesake. The trench can be entered on either side of the arena by passing under an overhang area with flamethrowers mounted in the ceilings. This creates three pinch points at the bridge and the two edges of the trench, while the starting areas on either side of the trench are flat and open.
The Bridge of Doom is not as popular as more basic arenas such as the Combat Arena. AI's have a difficult time making it through the arena's pinch points, especially crossing over the bridge. In addition, the arena's obstacle make it difficult for most stock robots to navigate. Most competition-level stock robots have little to no ground clearance and long wedges, which means they can easily get stuck on the bridge or the ramps entering the trench.
