The old BattleBots forum

[Badnik96]

Lots and lots and lots of info. Everything from the first round 5.0 prelims, 3.0 rumbles, bot info and more. Just a wealth of info. Then, I found this thread here:

And lol'ed. So, here's the first gem I will present to you from the old forums:

Is this the real fight?[/size] Is this just fantasy?
Caught in the wall spikes,
And this match is going on TV.
Stuck in the sides,
No way for me to get free...
I'm just a poor bot, I need to sympathy
'Cause I'm easy come, easy go
little high, little low,
Any way they land blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me...
Momma, just killed a bot
put a spike up to its treads,
pulled the trigger, now it's dead
Momma, the match had just begun!
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Momma, ooo...
didn't mean to let it die,
If it's not fixed up by this time tommorrow,
Carry on, carry on, 'cause it doesn't really matter.
Too late, the time is up
Sends shivers down my spine
Wallet's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave the nut behind and face the crew
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never built it at all
I see a little smoking motor in that can,
Scaramouch, scaramouch, broken cooling fan blade, so,
Making smoke and sparking - very very frightening me
Got a servo, Got a servo
Got a servo, Got a servo
Got a servo with that blow - magnifico
But I'm just a poor bot, nobody loves me
He's just a poor bot from a poor crew and team
Spare him his life from this well sponsored team
7 seconds pin to go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Buddy Lee has a final put aside for me
for me
for me
So you think you can stall me and use direct drive
So you think you can build me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
As they pry me free
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me
Anyway they land blows...

This wasn'tt written by me, but by someone from the forums, dunno if they had any bots or not.
