Okay, current robots we know of

Shrederator
Warhead
Stinger the Killer Bee?
Counter Revolution?
Storm II?
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

Yay Zac is going! Hopefully he can get a bunch of pictures and stuff as he usually does, that'd really help the wiki out.

Half those names are just Greek to me.

Hahahahaha
No

Good to see our pal Zac getting involved!

Why would it be Tombstone instead of Last Rites? This is heavyweights, isn't it?

No... oddly, it's every weight class, if I remember...

It's not every weight class, it was put like that for marketing, it's a slightly heavier version of regular heavies at 250lbs rather than 220.

Ray called it Tombstone last time it competed at BB in 09. I assume he'd be using the same name so he could keep Last Rites for Robogames, as BattleBots robot names are licensed.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #129 on:** April 28, 2015, 06:33:51 PM »

I was under the impression that Tombstone was a separate bot, and a SHW, but that's good thinking.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #130 on:** April 28, 2015, 08:41:50 PM »

It used to be, but then the SHW class got canned.

By who? (BTW, nice to hear about Last Rites (Tombstone) go into BB!)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #132 on:** April 29, 2015, 04:49:55 PM »

It wasn't canned by any one person, people just stopped making them.

Natef · « **Reply #133 on:** April 29, 2015, 05:05:48 PM »

The last SHW event was like 5 years ago.

Dang, that sucks. I loved SHW. Oh well.

I called it! LOGICOM Is back! I wouldn't be surprised if Team Nightmare brings out Breaker Box or something, both Jim and Erica Smentowski have confirmed to be going. Also, who's Zac?

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #136 on:** May 05, 2015, 12:06:53 PM »

I do hope they'll consider bringing out Nightmare again. Sure it may be outdated but it's arguably the most recognizable robot in America. Could be just the thing to get the Nielsens up and solidify a continuing show.

Natef · « **Reply #137 on:** May 05, 2015, 12:50:48 PM »

He's a good friend of Mike, SKBT, Badnik and I.

He's built lots of cool bots.

Also #Nightmareornothing
