Banter Wars Audited Series 2?
NOTE: Copied off my message so that way more people see it.
Would love for an Audited Series 2, this time with Bin Candidates, Awards, and 5 judges (odd because we don't want draws, also I'm not a particularly big fan of Random.org) and some backup judges as well in case they're busy. When will Audited Series 2 come back and can anyone hosting Audited Series 2 (will not be me) add my rules to that?
Main judges (in my opinion):
Botomatic1000
AHeapOfGames
RobotDeathMinister (Me)
Diotoir the son of nemesis
Jamied666
Backup judges (in case there will be a draw during a three-way melee or a normal judge is busy):
Badwolf66
Doodle2411
ToastUltimatum
Mattiator
(Sorry, not choosing Mystrsyko as I think he will be busy with his reviews)
RULES:
Any person that is …
Banter Wars Ragnabots
O'er on the Robot Wars Wiki we have had these things called "Ragnabots" in which every competitor fights to see who is the best competitor there is. So before Series 3 begins I will hold a Banter Wars Ragnabots on my channel, where we'll see who is the ultimate Banter Wars competitor. This will only feature robots who appeared in Series 1-2.5 so that means if a robot will be appearing in Banter Wars Series 3 it won't appear in the Ragnabot Banter Wars competition.
After counting all the competitors I have found 171 competitors, meaning 22 will need to fight it out in qualifiers so that means 11 will fail to qualify and 11 will qualify, so after putting all 171 competitors on Random.Org the robots needing to qualify are as follows:
- Win! Win! …
Withdrawing from Series 3...
Hello all,
As most of you know, the robot I entered into Banter Wars Series 2.5 and Series 3, Hit & Run, has been performing spectacularly poorly. It was never designed to win fights, in fact I entered it specifically to be entertaining and nothing else. However, I feel as though it has not lived up to the level of entertainment it should have provided during Series 2.5. As a result, I am withdrawing Hit & Run from Banter Wars Series 3 and retiring it from official Banter Wars competitons (it will always be available for side events). In its place I will be entering a robot named Hook Echo, which should not only be a more entertaining competitor, but should also be capable of winning some fights, and will feature a weapon type not yet seen …

DINISTRIO 2 is AWESOME
Hey remember me im Jamied666 that weird one :P Dinistrio is now Dinistrio 2 and you lucky folks get to see him
say hi!
The future of Detrimental (UPDATED)
If Detrimental doesn't make the Heat Final next series I'll replace it with Detrimental's Revenge. If it does I'll increase its lifespan to Series 5. If it makes the Heat Final AGAIN I'll increase its lifespan to Series 6. Same applies to Detrimental's Revenge (EXACTLY Mermaid Mk4 except black) and Spawn of Detrimental's Revenge (mix between Detrimental and Detrimental's Revenge).
Should the Alternative Grand Final be Documented?
As the title says, I say yes because more Banter wars History the better.
Teams, Teams Everywhere!
So with the announcement of a new Banter Wars Team called "Ice Cold Robotics" [not sure who all the members are] Now it appears "Bots Templar" the winning team of Series 2 with 11 wins and 4 losses now has a rival, Nots Templar does have a flag but it needs updating since we have a 4th member now. http://doodle2411.deviantart.com/art/The-Bots-Templar-635608080
Will their be any other rival teams? Time will tell!
Bots Templar Current team members are Badwolf/66[Gamer], Doodle(The Champ), Botomatic1000 and MissVRandom.
So, what WILL be the future of Detrimental?
After Series 4 of Banter Wars I will retire Detrimental and request another machine. That other machine will be called Detrimental's Revenge. It will compete in Series 4.5, Series 5, Series 5.5, and Series 6 of Banter Wars. It will be Mermaid MK4 except some minor improvements by Adam and will be colored black (Detrimental's signature color), I guess. When Detrimental's Revenge will retire after Series 6, I will request yet another machine for Series 6.5, Series 7, Series 7.5, and Series 8 of Banter Wars, it will be called Spawn of Detrimental's Revenge, it will basically be black (again) and will look like a combo between Detrimental and Detrimental's Revenge. After Series 8, I will retire from Banter Wars, and basically say "Good luck gu…
What is Siren gonna look like for Series 3?
Welp I'm sure most of you will know this by now but if not SPOILERS (obviously)...
Siren is the series 2 champion and because of that I have now painted a huge target on my back (no puns intended since im an artist) so for Siren to stand up to the robots that I have seen so far, it needs to be upgraded. So the 3 main criterias being worked on are: the weapon, the speed and the armourment.
When I was waiting for heat G to come out, I curiously simulated all of the possible matches I would potentially face, and the one that scared me the most were the pushers "Nimbus Force" and "Maria The German" the biggest reason was their advantage in speed and pushing power and 8/10 times they would destroy the weapon or pit Siren (so I'm quite lucky I fee…
How I made Dinistrio
First off, Many thanks to F.B.I for letting me do this check out his one after or before you read this. Righty Ho time to get on with this =P. A couple of months ago, I decided to make a Robot for Banter Wars 3. So i downloaded RA2.1.4 and the first thing i said was "Well [sweary word] i dont know what to build. Or name my bot." A day later i made my first version of DINISTRIO. It was so crap im not going to talk about it LOL, well i'll talk about it a little. It was shaped like a drum bot but insted of having a drum it had two axes and 3 spikes, also it had a mini bot called Mini Dinistrio. You can see Dinistiro's (the first one) intro on the A heap of games facebook page. When i battled Dinistrio it won 2 out of 13 battles, so i had to …

How I came up with Detrimental
It was one day, and I saw Doodle's BattleBots vs. Robot Wars. Then I saw Doodle's full-body spinner Mermaid Mk 4 completely obliterate Badwolf's Spyder's Web off the face of the earth. Quite an achievement, since Spyder's Web had beaten none other than The PM's Pulverizer. Yes, I said it. The loser, Spyder's Web, BEAT THE PM'S PULVERIZER. I was so inspired by this that I wanted to make a full-body spinner. So I told Doodle about it. He made me one, and god I was so damn surprised (sorry for sweary words if anyone's offended). I have to give him credit, he's a good dude. Doodle tested Detrimental and sent the Detrimental .bot file to me. He said it beat most of his creations. Wow, just wow. The only downside (Adam take notes for Series 3, a…
Shall we count the "Heat F Rematches" on competitors win loss records
This was a thing I've been thinking of and discussing with BadWolf a bit and I'll need an overall communtiy vote over whether or not we should put the Heat F rematches on a robots history, career records and Win?Loss ratio's?
Worms Battle Royale Series 1 Signups
HI all last night I made a video where 8 YouTube users battle it out as worms via AI control I commentate the battles as best I can. The video is well liked and already has 6 likes so I thought to advertise it here for a possible series 1.
If you do join all you have to do is sit back and relax just like Banter Wars :)
Battles are in the style of Series 6 and 7 of Robot Wars 4>4>2>2>2 their will be 9 episode in total if we get 64 signups :)
Their are 64 places avalible 6 of those places have already been taken so now thier are only 54 places.

Series 3 competitors
This is a blog that will be constantly updating, here I'll document the machines that are set to appear in the Third series. Of course this maybe a little soon but it's best to see and document the applications knowing that some may F2Q and we wouldn't want them to be forgotten.
I will spread them into two categories. Confirmed, i.e. they've sent a bot file and have an audition video up. And ones that have a proposed entry but maybe missing a few components.

A Banter Wars voting tournament?
I was thinking of a Banter wars themed voting tournament where you vote who wins should I make it?
Robots ahoy!
Just a quick blog saying everything is going so well and I'd like to thank Ethan (Botomatic1000) for creating this Wikia, also like to thank Diotoir and the others for their hard work I hope Adam and Ethan appricate your efforts :) (I imagine they do of course!)
So yes it makes Banter Wars feel like a real show with real contnuity, real people with real robots (sadly not controlled by us) so that's it really can't wait for Series 2 :D
