What would people think of adding a "qualifiers" page? It would strictly be a brief description of how the qualifiers worked in each series, not a list of battles or rejected robots. I'm thinking it would be classified as "behind the scenes," the same category as the Storm 2 Controversy page. I don't have good information on Series 1 or 2, but I think I could do the other series quite nicely. What are people's thoughts?

RA2; (My Talk) 07:52, November 30, 2009 (UTC) If you can do it, please go ahead and show us. Pick an easy series as an example and we'll have a look at how you go before we look at doing others. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 07:57, November 30, 2009 (UTC) Here's a start to what it would look like: RA2; (My Talk) 20:17, November 30, 2009 (UTC) It does need a section on discretionary places, as they are very important. When you get to 6/7, which feature up to 4 robots, make sure you note that any or no robots from a bout could qualify, like the entire group from Ewe 2's qualifier. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 05:57, December 1, 2009 (UTC) Are you sure there were cases of the winner not qualifying in Series 6 and 7? RA2; (My Talk) 14:59, December 1, 2009 (UTC) I could be mistaken, but I don't think that the first three series had qualifiers. I think the teams had to show their designs to the producers and they decided which robots would take part. That's why SHARON didn't take part anyway. Christophee (talk) 15:07, December 1, 2009 (UTC) In Series 2 and 3, the robots had to do some sort of a slalom or obstacle course. I remebmer seeing a video of Rottweiler 2 qualifying for Series 3. I'll go looking for it later, but they basically had it demonstrate its cotrollability, and there were some crates that they could smash up to demonstrate their robot's power. However, I do suspect tha thtere were no qualifiers in Series 1, becuase they needed every robot they could get. RA2; (My Talk) 15:15, December 1, 2009 (UTC) The Slalom sounds right, particularly since it is in one of the video games. And you're definately right about the first wars - they still didn't manage to get the full 36 needed. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:51, December 5, 2009 (UTC) The one where they smashed crates could well have been called "Collateral Damage", like in Arenas of Desturction. ManUCrazy 21:35, December 18, 2009 (UTC) A thought occurs. What if the Wild Card Warriors were actually qualifiers? Axe Awe and The Executioner received discretionary places, whilst the other three failed to qualify? We know that the Series 5 qualifiers were like that. What do you think?
