I'm kind of disappointed at the number of resuscitated robots. Bots like Nightmare and Little Sister are fairly out of date, unless they're being modernized like Warhead.

Nightmare is there for marketing purposes. This Battlebots event is a "proof of concept," to show the networks that a full revival is a profitable investment. Nightmare was the most recognizable robot from the original run, it's a robot that you can count on even the most casual fans to remember. Bringing that robot back is the best hype they can generate - people like us who know it doesn't stand a chance are in the minority. They'll take more risks after they get a contract.

Little Sister's been semi-active in the UK for years

Don't think BB's really been improved though, just still running :P

It seems part of Beta was lost in transit, according to Team Storm.

Beta is almost as cursed as Nocturne :V

Oh snap! Are they going to be able to fight without it?

We'll see how bad that curse is when I power it back up now I've dealt with it's rapidly expanding battery and explodey receiver.

Do we know which part is gone?

From what Grant's posted recently regarding Beta, I'm assuming it's his lovely custom speed controllers for the Etek:

Look at the new Team Chronic pictures.

I picked out sone details in the background.

Something large on radioactives crate.
JacD is there safely
Look far in the background. See the crate with the writing? A robot named Red Fever or something

cephalopod · « **Reply #271 on:** May 19, 2015, 02:32:10 PM »

Definitely not Red Fever, that's an R not an F so could be something to do with the word reverse or reversal?

Try "Revenge"

For the record, Reverend seems pretty legit.

Robotic Gospel

qwerty are you making things up or does this have a legit source

cephalopod · « **Reply #276 on:** May 19, 2015, 03:01:20 PM »

I'm pretty sure the thing on the Make Robotics crate IS Radioactive, just to update.

A friend of mine who's there met Donald Hutson and said he is more awesome than he thought.
