This is a Reboot of sorts, see if I can regain some interest in this 5 months after the original.
Here is is the intro and part of the rules Page
......
....booting....
....VRBattleBots Inroduction programme.....Begin.
Welcome, I'm VINA, I'll be your guide into the world of VR battlebots.
In 2076, the technology in Virtual Reality made its latest breakthrough, portable VR devices which allow you to 'enter' virtual reality space at any time, the Helix-Rho company developed VRBattleBots as Video Game demo for children and teenagers but the popularity was immense, and now in 2081, after only 5 years on the market the trend has taken off, VR BattleBots is in every major gaming event and is an unnoficial national sport.
But what is VR-BattleBots?
VRBattleBots is a competitive fighting game, where you are assigned a single robot to do battle against other players and their robots for rank,.You control your robot through your VR interface which loads up when you enter a battle, but you can also activate on your own for training. This is all controlled through you Portable Virtual Reality Device, the 'Battlewatch'
Once you recieve your battle watch you will be able to create your robot ID, this will allow one robot to be assigned to you and you will build it in the startup interface, there are variety of options to customise your robo, but we will cover that later. Once your robot is built, you will be assigned a rank (usually E) and you can begin competing straight away. Depending on who you battle against, the outcome of each match will determine your BattlePoints and Rank (covered later).
Each Robot Starts with 1000 HP at the beginning of each match and using your skills and weapons you are to try and reduce your enemy's HP to zero. There may also be hazards in cetrain VR stage arenas or special match types but more on that later.
Enjoy your new BattleWatch and VR BattleBot Program!
.......End Introduction......
**************************************************************************************************************************
Building Your Battlebot
For beginners, the battle bot that will assigned to you when you first boot up your battlewatch will be RANK E.
RANK E battle bots have 25 points to spend on each of their categories but each category must have at least on point, the is no upper limit to how much you can spen in each field.
CATEGORIES:
Body: This is your bot's physical strength, navigating certain arenas, grappling other bots and using melee weapons is all dependent on this very stat, though this effects throw distance it doesnt effect accuracy.
Manoeuvrability: this effects speed and agility on the ground, (above average speed should allow you to out manuver projectiles at a FAIR distance:)
Thrusters: effects your bot's level of boosting, gliding and flying, at low levels the bot will only be able to boost dash, but higher will be able to hover, glide, and then fly at the higher levels. The length of time you can keep your boosters on is dependent on your energy.
Energy: using any weapon that isnt stock basic requires a level of energy, to be used, at lower levels, the consitentcy of thruster use and weapon attacks becomes more sparse and less available, your bots energy will always gather back eventually but at much slower levels, think of it as the robots stamina.
*************
After choosing your robot's stats you will have 4 spaces for equipment, (note:some bigger weapons take up more than one space) you can use these however you like to pick weapons and armour upgrades, your robot, can carry up to 2 weapons (in class E) and can have as many body upgrades as you want, but note, your robot can still fight without weapons.If you manage to obtain more, equipment in the future you may swap them out before each battle.

The World of VR-BattleBots is about to unfold, we just need to know which team you will be joining.
Teams you ask? well there are 3 teams available to join for new students when you arrive after you pick them you can learn more about them and remember you can always leave a team after joining but not before taking a penalty test, which we will cover later.
