New RR arena !!

[robotwars]

Hi Guys,

2011 will hopefully see some big changes to Roaming Robots, and im looking to put roboteering back on the map in a big way.

We have been discussing all sorts of options and changes, ie. format of the show, the way things work.... however one big thing which has come up is the arena.

If I was to build a BRAND NEW all singing all dancing arena... what would people like see?

The new arena would still incorperate the old show favourites, flipper, pit, hammer etc....

But I'm looking for peoples thoughts on what changes would be made.

Cages, flip out zones, raised floor, walls, more arena effects etc.....

Please let me know your thoughts so I can throw it into the pot.

Regards

Ive got and idea

3 pits in the arena secretly placed. when you hit the release button one pit goes down. if you fail to pit your enemy in
15 seconds the pit will go up and another will go down. Your robot might even be standing on it!

how about doing that spinning disk thing that the 7th wars arena had? will work n look pretty good especially flinging feathers off

How about a level even floor?

[Thunder arrow]

you could put a spinning axe thing like fluffy had on extrem and it could move up and down whiste spinning?

[Ellis]

Arena floor spikes?

[AbundantToast]

MORE house ROBOTS ;D And maybe a large spinner?

[joey_picus]

A deliberately uneven floor to get a bit more variety in design?

Kill Saws, a battle Bots classic. It's a good effect to watch bots being flung away from them with little damage.

angle grinders? Flame pit (event permitting)? Auger type screw thing that they had in the battlebox? CO2 jets? Swinging mace from the roof of the arena? Something like the sentinel from the early series of robot wars? A raised up area with ramps up and down from it in a corner (could make for some interesting fighting tactics)?
