Back To The Beginnings was a tournament created by G.K.. It involved the entrants rebuilding the first showcased bots of each other. BTTB 4, the vice versa of BTTB 3, followed BTTB 3 in January 2011, concluding in July 2011 where powerrave triumphed with his rebuild of NFX's Altitude, overcoming Madman3's rebuild of Squirrel_Monkey's bot Blockbuster.

BTTB 1

BTTB 1 was a Stock Heavyweight tournament in which participants had to rebuild the first showcased bot of the members stock showcase. The tournament was the second quickest run tournament in RA2 history, taking only 6 days from G.K. posting the first vid to him posting the grand final. The champion was The Ounce, with Nuclear Fallout, while the runner up was Somebody, ironically rebuilding Ounce's Go Up Here.

Entry List:

  • Badnik96 and Alterer of Reality also said that they would enter, but pulled out for various reasons. Because of this, G.K. and Doomkiller left the wildcard and entered the main bracket. GoldenFox93 was also apparently so humiliated by his performance (Losing both his matches and all the rounds involved), that he now refuses to acknowledge he ever built his entry.


BTTB 2

The day G.K. concluded BTTB 1, he also announced BTTB 2, the DSL version of the tournament where participants had to rebuild the first robot posted in a member's DSL Showcase as a DSL Heavyweight. Many members expressed an interest in joining. In the end, he got 27 entrants. Gazea2 and Picnic Attack pulled out, and due to an error in the brackets system, Hydro selflessly pulled out after Round 1. In the final Somebody this time proving victorious, rebuilding Bubbleman's Gut Ripper, and defeating Yoda9726's Maximus rebuild in the final.
