We have two new confirmations: Team Plumb Crazy will be there with Stinger the Killer Bee, and Jamison Go and some other MIT guys will be competing with something as well.

New list:

Shrederator
Warhead
Stinger the Killer Bee
Counter Revolution?
Category 5? (or other Busted Nuts robot)
Tombstone? (or other Hardcore Robotics robot)
New Inertia Labs robot
Possibly a new Mutant Robot? Don usually comes out for these
G3 Robotics entry
Team Test Bot entry
beta?

If I'm not mistaken we've got 2 MIT teams competing, Jamo as part of the Varibale Constant, and Charles - builder of Uberclocker - with a bot yet to be announced

Badnik96 · « **Reply #144 on:** May 07, 2015, 09:10:45 AM »

Wait Charles is going? I hadn't heard this

if anything I thought he was joking

edit: Well, never mind then. I just checked his blog.

Natef · « **Reply #145 on:** May 07, 2015, 01:22:56 PM »

Aww yeah!

Badnik96 · « **Reply #146 on:** May 07, 2015, 02:37:18 PM »

Just heard from Brandon that apparently the Behemoth team is going? Can anyone confirm this?

Also, do we have confirmation on Team Nightmare yet?

Christian Carlberg is confirmed via Facebook.

And yet another UK team just announced they're competing:
https://www.facebook.com/chronicrobot?hc_location=ufi

it appears to be a rebuild of Kronic, as it's being headed by the Robots Live guys

they also let slip that there are five UK teams going. That means counting Team Razer, Team Hurtz, Team Behemoth and these, there's one more that has yet to announce

So, new list

CONFIRMED
Shrederator
Warhead
Stinger the Killer Bee
Tombstone (or other Hardcore Robotics robot)
Something from the Behemoth team
Chronic
Beta
New Inertia Labs robot
New Cool Robots robot
G3 Robotics entry
Team Test Bot entry
Busted Nuts Robotics entry
Another UK team

TENTATIVE
Counter Revolution (applied)
Mutant Robots (probably)

Think we should start a "not competing" list? Obviously we cant include every team under the sun, but we have a confirmed "no" from Team Toad, and it might be good to close the book on other popular teams that would get lot of inquiries.

Jamie (builder of Blendo) will also not compete (sadly)

Natef · « **Reply #152 on:** May 07, 2015, 07:14:22 PM »

Half Fast Astronaut

But so far I'm really liking the roster. If Nightmare was polished up for one more run, it'd make my month.

Lisa Winter (of Tentoumushi fame) will be competing.

Yeah they are. They posted a picture of the robot all packed up and ready for sending overseas. No pictures of it yet but I believe that I am allowed to comfirm that it's not a flipper, spinner or rammer.

I can confirm it's a [redacted]

HereticBlue · « **Reply #157 on:** May 08, 2015, 08:21:38 AM »

Avalanche · « **Reply #158 on:** May 08, 2015, 09:02:40 AM »

Might aswell, the 5th team going to Battlebots is taking a total rebuild of Dystopia called "Enforcer" due to licensing agreements.

Only just been finished, theres a few photos below of it in the garden before being shipped to San Francisco tomorrow

Poll

Who do you think will win the Giant Nut?
