If team Toad had entered they could've done something funny with "Frozen." Think they' d give the ok to putting an Elsa doll on it and potentially getting smashed up?

Slow your roll there andrew, of all the things to be weary about BB, that should be pretty low on your list. Just because it's owned by Disney doesn't mean it has to be a kid friendly movie with pricesses and singing. They also show Nascar and boxing on the weekends.

The BattleBots Website has been updated, with a new picture inside the Battlebox:

I think the hellraisers are back if you look closely.

Are those yellow circles on the floor spikes? or sensors?
Does anyone know?

Personally I can't wait for the first sucker who gets stuck up under the Pulverizers.

I'm really worried about this after reading the reddit post a couple pages back sounds like it might be getting the abhorred reality treatment

Apparently Tony Hawk was there to spectate.

Yeah. Same with Chris Rose from MLB's Intentional Talk. Glad to see a lot of larger names are in on this as well.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #350 on:** May 28, 2015, 12:58:34 PM »

one more revolution isnt a bot name, whoever signed it was wishing Jim a happy birthday.

Where do you see Splatter? That might not be a competitor.

qwertythe300th · « **Reply #351 on:** May 28, 2015, 01:21:11 PM »

Splatter was the last one I found. It was at a weird angle. But I know its there, when you find it, it is Team FosBoBattlebots or something and "SPLATTER"

Badnik96 · « **Reply #352 on:** May 28, 2015, 02:24:11 PM »

Ok yeah that looks like it's from Fast Electric Robots. Yeah, Splatter's their beetle. They went to watch.

That was my 2nd guess. But good robots I found.

Bite Force is Paul Ventimiglia (the Brutality guy)'s entry. It appears to be a tracked crusher of some sort.

I've also learned from people posting on FB that Wrecks' crazy gimmick appears to be that it works like the antweight Gyrobot did and it uses gyroscopic procession to move about the arena. I could be wrong but that's what it looks like it is.

Hype hype hype.

And everyone had an awesome afterparty!

So apparently I was wrong and Fast Electric Robots did have a heavy there named Splatter as a reserve robot. No clue what its weapon is.

Ayy I was right! I wonder if it just did a name change and is Whiplash.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #359 on:** June 03, 2015, 12:15:24 PM »

No, the teaser pic on the FB page is completely different from Whiplash. Looks like it has 4 wheel drive and some kind of hammer weapon.
