Change the chassis to a NES case....oh wait

I had some stuff stolen from my parents store once, hundreds of dollars of hardware.Well, glad to see you're still around, and I would'nt really say robot combat is dead, at all..........It's dead where I am, and I personally believe as a whole the sport took a turn south when things like VDD kits were mass produced and chassis became machined out of 1 solid piece of metal (effectively making "parts go flying" a misnomer). Antweights are boring these days and unfortunately are the mainstream because they are affordable, people only build the same 3 or 4 designs with minimal changes, it seems. The "sport" these days is mostly only kept alive by people who fawn over reruns and old memories, because there hasn't been much in the way of new stuff. I feel bad for the BattleBots company, really, because their CBS special was canceled because they couldn't sell the advertising space for the commercials. 8 years ago people would be at each other's throats to have commercial space during BattleBots, and now they can't even sell it. It's sad, really. I'm just glad I had fun when I did, and even though I was never really able to finish that Heavyweight of mine years and years ago at least I got to experience something. :P
- Bots have evolved to a point where only a handful of similar-looking designs are effective, barring a few anomalies. (This is especially apparent in the real life AW class, since there are a lot more bots there.)
