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.

“... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
