For reference, this is the top ranked bot in the US.

Didn't that thing compete in Battlebots 5.0?


Gary Gin(The builder of Original Sin) competed with Big B in series four and five. Big B still competes today, and is ranked fith historic on BotRank.
As for Original Sin, its first tournament was RoboGames 2006, and it steamrolled the competition. To give you an idea on how good it is, Original Sin has won a total of eight competitions, five of which it won with out a loss.

It did get a bit lucky in the finals of Robogames this year though. Electric Boogaloo just conked out really.

Am I the only one that sees an obvious troll?

Not trolling, just clueless.

stop trying to be overly dramatic for gods sake, it was a website not a freaking ghost town in the nevada desert

Actually now that Team 9 mentions it, that is a very accurate description of what browsing the old forum archives is like.
 
You can see the general structure and some of the more popular threads, even a few rare artifacts (pictures), but most of the details are obliterated.  Most of the people on those old forums are no longer around, too, which makes it feel even more like a ghost town.

This exactly. Even browsing old GTM threads makes me long for the days 4 years ago.

I think I joined 3 or 4 years ago and I recall guys like Whammitnutt, Icethefrostycat and others. Heck look in both my DSL (First few pages) and Stock showcases (First page only), you can see some posts by some veterans who aren't here anymore. Still it's a d**n shame the Wayback Machine didn't chronicle the entire wizfourms.

Wham, Ice, Condor33, MetalikVyper, venko

oh the memories

I would go with a shallower front wedge, but I like the design.

Here's some good nostalgia for everyone.

Battlebots was cancelled 10 years ago.

Miss Barbie/Phlox, as someone said earlier. Also miss Condor33 now that I think about it. He was a cool guy, and I played online with him a bunch.

You going to WNE? I visited there two weeks ago. Campus was really cool.

Yup. Just started today. Campus is very nice.

Bardis also had a few other robots that I can't remember right now. IIRC, didn't team minus zero also own tmz.com for their website? Because now its the really big company TMZ, that does lots of celebrity stalking type stuff.
