https://www.facebook.com/groups/303491806487599/307049249465188/I am not the administrator of this page, it was created by Corey Morris of Team Mech Monsters in Dallas, TX. He is trying to drum up interest in the sport in the area. Shoutouts to my main man Badnik96 for bringing this to my attention!
If you're in the area, please join the group. Maybe we can figure out some kind of regular (and potentially RFL-sanctioned) event in the North Texas area. I'm committed to showing up with as many old (and new) robots as I can bring with me.
Corey and I ended up having a "rivalry" at the SWARC events because the beetleweight division would inevitably become full of our creations and we'd end up fighting only each other most of the time. Here's some of our more memorable clashes:
Kill Switch v. Mutator (SWARC 6.0)
(PS: Watch those hazards.)
Kill Switch III vs. Son of Mutator (SWARC 8.0)
THE GLORIOUS RE-MATCH
Detonator vs. Buzz (SWARC 8.0)
SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY QWERTYTHE300TH But yeah, do check out the group and offer support if you can. I've gotten in touch with the old crew and most of us are back on board for another shot. I'll be bringing back as many bots as I can, plus new ones if time permits me to build them. I posted it in one of the comments somewhere, but the bots I intend to bring include a selection from this list:
150g - Five-O (returning robot, or comparable rebuild of it)
150g - Treadator (new robot)
1lb - Keep Back 500 Feet (new rebuild, probably under a new name though)
1lb - Super Turbo Baby Puncher (returning robot, assuming I am able to obtain new gearboxes)
1lb - Razor Face (new robot)
3lb - Kill Switch V (returning robot)
3lb - Earthquake (returning robot)
3lb - Super Hammerhead (returning robot, originally competed in Battle Clash 2001)
3lb - Detonator (new rebuild, also probably under a different name)
12lb - Super Terminal Impact (returning robot, rebuild of 2001's Terminal Impact)
Open - Terminal Impact (returning robot, for show and demonstration only)
