Robogames 2015
« on: December 15, 2014, 04:16:33 PM »


Look at this star-studded roster and tell me you aren't hyped. Of course Sewer Snake, Son of Ziggy and Ragin Scotsman aren't there yet, and Brad's considering bringing VD6 back out of retirement as well.

THE GODDAMN HYPE THOUGH

AND IM GOING TO BE GETTING THIS ON DVD

Info on the placeholder guys:
TBD is a new bot by the guy who's made Black and Blue, Black Widow! and Crazy Susan to name a few
SpitFire is Jerome Miles' new heavy. From what i've heard it's going to be a heavyweight Hot Stuff.
Celtic Warrior is MNSTR Robotics' third heavy and i'm pretty sure there's a pic of it on their site. It's a pneumatic flipper.
Foxic is Team Tanto's latest bot.
Usagi is made by the same team that currently owns Mouser (who is also signed up btw) and it's a 4wd drum.
Necron I have no clue what it is, but the team's been a no show before so no promises.
First Lefts is a new robot by the guy that made Brutality.
Lay Z Bot is the typical Team Tiki thing.
Megalodon is made by someone who usually does sumo.
Whiplash is from Team Fast Electric Robots.
Black Sheep is a second Ram Robotics entry and appears to be a vertical spinner.
Beowulf is a very ambitious entry by someone who joined the sport last year. It's going to be a modded battlekit.

I'm pumped to see Storm II in some spinner battles again, even if it's not my favourite bot.

If Vert's somehow gets Eruption on this, I am so going to watch it. I really need to get back into robot combat. I've lost the touch.

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

Most UK heavies won't compete because
1) money
2) UK HW's aren't built to take the hits from spinners. Eruption would probably just crack.

That sounds iffy from a legal standpoint.

"Hot Stuff" was a flamethrower, right?  I guess Hyperactive was a preview.

I'm pumped seeing Storm II and Electroc Boogaloo in there. It looks sweet so far. I hope even more signup before the deadline.

Plum Crazys now in with a new HW. Or what is a MW turned into a HW. Pipe Wench.


Just as I am typing this Ragin' Scottsman and Promethius, A New Scott-Bott, has entered!!!


Along with this.
Puck was entered by the same team with Kick Me and Sabretooth.
The Ressurection is entered by a team I've never heard of.
Lone Star Domination.

I think Prometheus competed in 13 unless it's a different robot. Not too sure.

Holy crap, a new heavy from PlumbCrazy? What is this madness?

Necron dropped out. lol

Definately a different Prometheus. Checked its records.

PlumbCrazy has this in the bag. I'm not worried.

And no suprise to that.



I forgot how awesome Spartan is. Cheltic Warrior looks hella cool too.
