"YOU AI'D IT WRONG"

"Too high? the damn plow should be high so bots can't have a high ground clearance to get over DUH" -LRA2 in his DSL showcase.

"I don't believe you. the wedge should be high so it gets bots easily on top of it" -LRA2 in his DSL showcase.

Drained some flaming on his beginnings, immediately drawing attention from people like Naryar. Since then, the amount of flaming increased dramatically. Eventually even became one of the 2 Gods of Poop.

For a short period of time, he become fond of claiming that he's 'holding back' from threatening members.

Life Robot Arena 2's posting habits have been compared to the early days of Hydro.

He got annoyed very easily and totally irrationally, and he has very poor English skills (Strangely, S32 never cared much about this). Overuses CAPS LOCK and big red letters.

Had some very hard time using WinRAR and extracting DSL, but finally managed it after some precise instructions from some of the community (notably JoeBlo's patience).

He has tried to host 3 tournaments, one named Clash Bots. Obviously with him not having the skills to do so and being a newcomer, the thread was eventually closed, a second attempt called Fast'Furious'Bots which was closed quickly due to the main fact it was to be a "manual tournament" and copied the idea of Russian Roulette's 1 vs 2 tournament. His third attempt was a tourney called CHAOS IN THE TORPEDO but again it was closed this time because of wierd (DSL parts in a stock tournament) and lack of effort shown with simply "BBEANS RULES APPLY".

After being defeated by TakatsukiYayoi in the wildcard round of Clash Cubes 2, when both of their bots were pitted, Life robot arena2 claimed he left the forums, with a bold statement in a blitz of large, bold, red, caps-locked letters. He blamed the loss on JoeBlo for AIing it wrong, because he "couldn't have lost otherwise." Mere hours afterward, he returned claiming he is giving the community 'a few more chance.' Additional information on LRA2's Clash Cubes 2 problems is below.

He was given the rank of NOOBweight on the forums, before being changed Pre-Banned-weight. As of 7/20/09 he was banned for 2 days. His latest rank is CHEATERweight, given to him by ACAMS after he was caught cheating in Robot Design Tournament #3.

Still practices bumps in numbers, and also known to swear a lot. On Naryar's initiative, some members have added *IF YOU WANT LIFE ROBOT ARENA2 TO BE BANNED PUT THIS IN YOUR SIG* in their signature. They have mostly disappeared since then, but are slowly returning.

Life robot arena2 is now, according to his title, banned and now says he is 'retired' from the forums.

The above was not the truth, as he returned to the forums as 'Avalanche'. He admitted this after a few months of anonymity.

He was generally re-accepted into the community because he has ceased to spam in any large amounts, although has since caused a few stirs in the community causing some to want him re-banned - such as messing up the popular 'Story Time' thread, and controlling his own bot in his Terror Twisters tournament. A notorious example of him doing this in the Tournament was in a small "Grudge Match" of sorts against GoldenFox93 and Stagfish. In this match, he stole a BBEANS robot, SurgicalStrike and controlled it himself against two robots chosen by his opponents, which he won by pinning his opponents against the wall. This unfair attempt at victory prompted a particularly angry reaction from GF93. Avalanche responded by deleting his comment on the YouTube video of the "fight", and blocking him. As a result of this, GF93 and Avalanche now have a major grudge against each other. Avalanche has only uploaded 6 matches (including the grudge match) in a month.

ALso, LRA2 is the only member that made the normally peaceful JoeBlo angry. Twice.

Has a strange grudge againts sparkey98 about who is better, Craaig then decided to host "Not Overly Epic Showdown" or NOES for short to see who out of the two is better at building bots.

He however seems to be making a comeback slowly, first by getting accepted into story time (but on thin ice again.

He now has gone beyond many peoples expectations. He has started discussions that instantly spark flame wars.

Bot building

LRA2 is known to enter SFTW's in tournament without problem, which he has already done twice.

Stock: Very average.

DSL: Slightly better. Did released a small AI pack... that was considered as worthless by the community. After flaming his critics by telling them they should AI themselves for his tournament, he earned a small amount of anti-respect.

His Clash Cubes 2 Wild Card entry, Chain of Impending DOOM, lost it's first match. It also lost several more grudge matches, including a match against Cube from the West, a robot modeled after Spinner from the West for use in Clash Cubes qualifying.
