There are a bunch more go pro videos on Sewer Snake's owner's channel (mattmaxsr)
Edit: Another good one from the owner of Raging Scotsman

Wow! That's pretty amazing. Electric Boogaloo looks pretty sweet. And destroying the ceiling was just perfect :claping
Where is it held? I noticed Flamethrowers are apparently allowed, which is a little odd to me (being from the UK).
-
Robogames is held in San Mateo California.
A bit about Electric Boogaloo... It was assembled the night before the event and completely untested. It went on to take 2nd. It's only losses were to Original Sin.

And it pretty much killed itself against Original Sin. Original Sin really didn't need to do much.
-
I think it was Last Rites that knocked the lights out of the ceiling, not Electric Boogaloo.
-
I can't come up with a single plow joke for Electric Boogaloo. Anyway, nice fight videos indeed...
-
whoa. I can't wait for Killer Robots (4 more weeks IIRC!!!!)
-
What ever happened tyo that "Robogeddon?" Is it even still happening?

We don't know. There hasn't been a press release about it with new info since April 12th. No one knows if it even is going to be "robot combat" in the traditional sense or something completely different.
-
What little information there is has been posted on Mike Joerger's website. What I can tell, it's basicly jumbo sized ROBO-1 with hand held weapons, and has a max weight limit of half a ton.

There must be a better place to mount that camera on Sewer Snake, surely? Rather than screwing the robot over if flipped.

Yes!

-
Wait, you live in Japan? Awesome.

Any news if there's going to be a new Killer Robots?

Electric Boogaloo came second this year apparently, losing to Original Sin. Last Rites came third.

I didn't think Killer Robots was that great. I'm still hoping Craig Charles comes back and does Robot Wars
-
Funny i was actually planing to make some antweights, but i don't think it will happen. :(
But it seems like it would cool, where will it be airing on TV?

Killer robots was laaaaame. I wanted to see robots fight, not Grant Imaharas face.

Yeah, I agree. but it was kinda cool cause it was my first experience watching Grant Imahara's face robot combat on TV. :D

Yea. Killer Robots Was Weak. But Robot Combat Is Dying. And Killer Robots Rose The Sport's Popularity. So Any Robot Show, Im Taking It And Running.

robot combat isn't growing, if anything it's rising in popularity. Its just not on tv much anymore
-
Yeah, tons of new heavyweights at RoboGames this year, and Robogeddon happening next year.

We may not have had any "serious" rooters but we have had a lot of people like me that do it for fun and don't take it seriously and just do it as a hobby

But unfortunately, none of these people seem to be moving on to a feather, and decent featherweights seems to be what we are seriously lacking at the minute.

No Clusterbots?

That last video is proof that to have a successful beater or drum bot, you need a nice, beefy, hardened steel support.
