Mecha Sub Zero is a cool desing I will root for. Also I would love to see Ghost Raptor vs SOW only to see what GR would put on it to get rid of the drone.

I'm in the mood of making some sort of a podcast for the new season talking with like 2 -3 gtm members about the new season

Images can be found on most of their Facebook pages, but as per Badnik seems to be doing an awesome job collecting data together on his wiki blog list thing.

I'll be rooting for Photon Storm and BETA when ABC Season 2 airs.

Creepy crawlies sounds like a great yet hilariously flawed idea. Back in ABC Season 1, some of the Warrior Clan robots stopped after simply driving into the opposing robot, and that robot had 3 counterparts, let alone 5. Still, I can't say for certain until I see it.

I'm surprised no-one did the drone thing sooner. (not that I expected loads of drone entries.) Not sure how effective the flamethrowers would be from above, though...

This is shaping up to be a very promising season!

It's a huge year for Massachusetts.  In addition to J, A, C, and D each doing their own bot, and the Bales brothers, we've got the Dentist featuring actual "Kids from MIT," and a mystery team called "Mantis," Jamison wouldn't say anymore than they shipped their crate from MA.

Beta's doing fine, but Moebius' drive system was misrouted by UPS, and they might lose out on their chance.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Pit tour is awesome. Love the weapon modules on Ultimo Destructo and can't wait to see the Creepy Crawlies get destroyed by any spinner they fight.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
