Whelp, was just looking through my old RA2 stuff when I found the BeetleBros site, which led me to here.
First, I just want to say I'm so darn happy BattleBots is coming back on tomorrow and I will definitely be glued to my TV watching that. Second:

I wish more builders lived near me so we could have a viewing party!
Skype live stream yo.
Yeah, I'd be up for that.
Same. When will you guys call?
I'm up for this.

I definitely want in on a Battlebots watching stream/Skype group.
And apparently there might be a RA3 in 2016, why wasn't that at E3? Ah well, at least I found out about it through chance.

thinking plan X is gonna get annihilated
Yes. It looks like it is made of Paper Mache...or Radditz. Those little RC cars won't help at all. It's a very open/exposed design from what I could see.

Welcome!

Or just two weaker weapons ;)

I just watched the tested video with them though, and that "speed of sound" comment is a lot of talk but I'd love to see it. I like the idea behind the light spinner, as long as it can hold up. And the weight savings are probably what allowed the second weapon.

I'd love to see a light weapon like that but with extra weight into just motors and batteries to spin it at some ludicrous speed. I would LOVE to see 10,000 RPM.

Hmm, now that I've seen Wrex "walking" I'm not so sure it'll win, it looks easy to outdrive and liable to flip.  Plus it doesn't look like they actually got a weight bonus like I thought.  I'm changing my prediction to Plan X.

Eh the promo clip of that had Wrex getting a good bite into the side of Plan X. And Plan X wasn't moving, and the spinner looked weak. I'd stay with Wrex.

Picture of Plan X pulled from an ad. Also a picture of Wrecks, and a minibot that I'm probably attributing to Plan X, since there was no mention of it from Wrecks' interview.

Also, new robot pictures from the fastcompany article.

Complete Control


Ghost Raptor

1. Dual Perm drive is pointless anyways :P

2. Just get bigger wheels and make it work!

250
now i feel like making a HW version with 2WD but still no steering ability

CUZ NO STEERING IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

edit: no screw that 1WD WITH DUAL PERM DRIVE BITCHES

You'd chain dual perms if you weren't such a bitch

You guys give me aids. This is the most retarded  "debate" I've ever read.

yeah who really cares

Okay, I think I have all 12 matchups in the first round figured out.

Icewave v Razorback
Warhead v Bite Force
Plan X v Wrecks
Warrior Clan v Nightmare
Overhaul v Lock Jaw
Witch Doctor & Shaman v Bronco
The Revolutionist v Stinger The Killer Bee
Chomp v Overdrive
Complete Control v Ghost Raptor
Radioactive v Sweet Revenge
Tombstone v Counter Revolution
HyperShock v Mohawk

Assuming all the promos are round 1? I'd hope they were at least.

Urjak? Who's that? The name sounds vaguely familiar... >:)

You're a bit more purple now than when I last saw you.

I am. It was a lifechanging moment.

Seconded. He's way too old to not be.

It's spelled Wrecks, but yeah

also the Plan X FB page posted a picture of their concept design. It's a spinner, not a clamper as originally thought. Looks pretty cool though.

That was actually in one of the promo videos, I remember it.

I like the robot though. Just reminds me of DSL robots, but with the freedoms of Ironforge

For the BTTB newbies I'd rather 1st bots were used. They haven't been thrown into the mix yet.

Seems reasonable. Guess whoever gets me is building a Red poker covered in nuclear stickers, with that black brick outline pattern haha.

Hahaha make the people use Redbirds or normal Zteks for the spinners then!

My first three robots were a HW poker and then I built some Middleweight versions of the same bot. Do you think that would be two bots or count as one?

Tbh if RA3 is an excellent shining example of fixing RA2's problems, I'd jump ship pretty quick.
why
if you want the bugs just play ra2
I hope RA3 is actually realistic

I meant jump ship to RA3 haha. The way forward here has been IRL lately and it makes the game much more approachable to a new audience.

Flamethrower is new though. Flamethrowers MUST have been encouraged by ABC. Makes for good TV though.

Edit: Flamethrower is not new
