Title: Looking for a very specific photograph.
Post by: RFS on February 08, 2012, 10:24:56 PM: Oh hi. It's me again.

I lost my meticulous (read: Aspergers-fueled) backups of BattleBots.com in a hard drive crash a few years ago and now I'm looking for a very specific picture for an article I am working on and I can't seem to find it. If anybody would have it, I'm assuming you guys would.

The picture I'm looking for seems deceptively simple: It's the one of Complete Control lifting Super Chiabot completely vertically from the show's second season. Not a screencap from a video, I want the official picture, the one with the BattleBots logo in the bottom corner. I don't have it. If anybody here has it and would like to share it, it would be much appreciated. <3

Thankies!

edit: I need this picture and the one of the Pulverizer coming down on StewBot, also from season 2.

Anyway, I've been scouring the old Battlebots website, and nothing is coming up. Same goes for Google Images and Yahoo Images, but I have a feeling you've already done that.

I wish I could be of more help, sir.

EDIT: Have you tried contacting either roboteer for said picture? I couldn't find Derek Young (or his e-mails) all that well, but I found Will Wright's pretty quickly. Here's the webpage with his various addresses for contacting:

I hope that this helps something.

Yes. :( I bombed Google with every incarnation of "Complete Control Super Chiabot BattleBots" that I could think of and the picture is just gone. I also used Archive.org to go to 2003-ish backups of the BattleBots.com site and I could get to the page with the fight pictures, but the links were all dead. Couldn't find the enlarged version of the pic. :(
