Title: Bugglebots
Post by: cephalopod on September 20, 2018, 11:41:30 AM
Bugglebots is an upcoming beetleweight web series, airing in December on YouTube

You can find more out on the Bugglebots website
www.bugglebots.com

Those of us that were there for filming can attest to how much of a fantastic time it was and honestly, it'll be worth watching. Awesome fights and great production too!

Also I finally got to meet Nate so das good.

Several GTM entrants so tune in to see how we all do ;)

I know I'm in the minority but I actually like seeing well driven D2 Kits fight, they have a ton of power, and do tend to deliver some nice slams.

Yes, but they are like 600$ A pop, and that doesn't require other stuff needed for em.

Lets just get back on topic. Who are you most excited to see fight, personally I'm excited for Captain Doom as D2 Kits always guarantee a slamming (pun intended) fight.

I just want to see good fights. Not one-sided fights.

There were a lot of good fights. I can think of a few that I know you guys will really like.

Poor Drizzle, getting thrown in the heat with Captain Doom, I'm predicting Captain Doom or Drizzle to take this heat.

A little off topic- are these bots antweights or beetleweights?

No joke all of my predictions for Bugglebots were wrong. Example: I predicted Mr Snappy to win it's heat, or Drizzle to win its.

Who is going to the Bugglebots filming in Bristol this weekend?

We are! :)

@anarchy_fox and @callum_bigden will be there with our latest build of Robot Rumble 2.  The Bugglebots arena is already in the game.  We are now looking for BuggleBots competitors who would like to have their robots showcased at the RR2 booth this weekend.

If you would like to participate, let me know.

1. The easiest way is to send me an .RR2Bot file. 
2. If that is too much work, I do have time this week to build a few (2??? 3???) robots.  Just send me some drawings/photos and I will do my best!

I don't want to impose on your time!

If you can send me some snapshots (front view, side view, top view, basic materials), I can try to have it ready for you when you arrive.

Woohoo!!!

I should have some time tomorrow to work on a Snappy replica, if you are interested.  I won't be able to make it to the UK (I'm in the US), but I can make sure our team has it for the weekend.

Snappy is in progress!  The center of mass was a little off on the first attempt.  I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow.

Should be a good day. I'll try and get pictures to upload, if allowed.

Well that was a top notch weekend. I won’t upload any of the photos, for obvious reasons of not being allowed to, but I have no doubt that Series 2 will be an incredible improvement on the first once it’s all edited together and released.

Shout out to the Robot Rumble 2 and Robot Champions teams for showing off their really great looking games, Craig/cephalopod for bringing The ‘Mingo that I finally met in the flesh, and meeting Thyrus for the first time which was cool as **** as well.

I’ve made it my personal goal for the rest of the year that you WILL see me in Series 3...

Likewise!
I had a blast meeting all of you guys. What a fantastic weekend!
Merrick kicked my ass in Robochampions but I'm planning on building a beetle to return the favor. ;)

I sense the start of a rivalry.....which I will almost certainly lose.  :dumb)
