Robot Arena 2: Design and Destroy is a computer game developed by Gabriel Entertainment. It is the sequel to Robot Arena. Compared to its predecessor, it has many new features, such as the Havok physics engine, fully 3-D environments (robots are now able to leave the ground), and the player's ability to completely design their own robot. This includes chassis design, weapon placement, mechanics, and paint, etc.. Weapons are nearly completely customizable, including weapons that mount on various attachments, such as poles, disks, and tri-bars.There is no credit system, parts can be taken for free as long as the weight limit has not been reached, and physics accommodate servo motor based weaponry (e.g., hydraulic crushers, lifting devices, etc.) Although not well received from a marketing standpoint, this game has a dedicated fanbase and a community that is still active today. Those who still play it use two versions. One is called 'Stock/base' by the community - `Stock` which is the original game and the other is called 'DSL' which is a modded version of the game that has components and arenas created by the community itself.

Famous quotes containing the words robot, arena, design and/or destroy:
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“O the joy of the strong-brawn’d fighter, towering in the arena in perfect condition, conscious of power, thirsting to meet his opponent.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.”
—Jim Morrison (1943–1971)
