http://twilightfoundry.com/2014/08/mcdonalds-battlebots-toys/The article about the McDonald's toys is finally done. Coming in at a staggering 5,200 words with a 21-minute bonus video (and a special 14 minute recut of it) this is the longest feature I've written about BattleBots to date. This took me about a month and $40 to put together.
The project kind of started ballooning out as I wrote it but I figured because I was invested in it and already writing it that I should at least see it through. People have written about these toys before but nobody has actually written about them and taken them apart to show how they work and what's inside. I figured in that regard my article is somewhat unique and warranted being written.
It's a long one, and I don't blame you for skipping through it if you want. The video is at the very bottom of the article, or you could just watch it here in the thread:
edit: I don't know how to embed videos.
