I'll be there with my reworked 12lber competing in the 15lb class. I'll post my event report once the non-disclosure agreement allows me to.

Looks like it's a good year for Robotic combat.

I also heard Robot Wars is coming back in 2010. Random Youtube commenter, so don't quite trust it yet.

That list is so disappointing. Where's Nightmare? Where's Biohazard? Where's Warhead?

I am interested to see Root Canal. The last I checked, that was a middle weight. I wonder if the disc was biggified.

No, it was A MW without the sawblade and saw motor.

15lb bots were fighting today. Happy with my performance so far. Will give a full update once the NDA is no longer in effect.

Wow. That's quite a bit different. It's now like a mini Diesector. Cool!

yeah I was disappointed with the list the battlebots website really raised my expectations (for those who don't know it had images of biohazard, warhead and mauler among others) I think Im backing Surgeon General for this one I quite like that bot, though it did force Killahurtz into retirement

frezal · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2009, 03:01:01 AM »

Wait a minute... When did Breaker Box become a heavy weight? Team Nightmare's website calls it a middle weight.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2009, 08:23:39 AM »

Jim added 2 wheels and a fair bit of armor

Did he not want to pit Nightmare against all of the bots with horizontal spinning weapons?

Uh, just so you know, that's NOT Root Canal. If you go to their website, it's the other green bot under Diesector.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #17 on:** April 24, 2009, 08:52:25 PM »

that *IS* the robot fighting under the name *ROOT CANAL* at the competition that I have been at the last few days.

Speaking of which, 3-1 right now, will likely end 3-2 because of a gearbox failure on the left side of the bot.

Somebody · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:44:39 AM »

Do You think that your bot will be on TV?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #19 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:25:48 AM »

15lbers probably won't make it on TV.

Final record 5-2. That put me at 4th overall and 1st in the college class. I won two fights with only one working wheel. I also won the award for best engineered 15lb robot.
