On the topic of Battlebots, what is the 15Ib class about? I know one has more destruction, the other does not.

Edit: Danggit Battlebots says your weapon have to be an active system.

its just 15 pound combat, and the only reason its more destruction is because you have people who have never built verses teams that have been refining their building techniques for years. you end up with alot of fights between the brick sh** house drums and driving sheet metal boxes

roulette - what kind of bot are you planning?

Hopefully we will have a bot that is simple and effective, like Hazard.

That is some excellent craftmanship there!

Somebody get this man some GTM sponsorship decals!

I wish I had the time and money to get into building like that. You do a great job!

Whoa. Good luck, man.

Nice! Wish i can be there. But the new blade for maniac Kathy has not came yet. And my ants are in bad shape and I can't figure out the new design for Swamp woman 2. but I will be entering in FI. Best of luck for your antweights and beetleweight.

Looking good. The slow motion hits are cool--you should film a match at that speed and then upload the highlights

Condor33 · « **Reply #199 on:** July 05, 2010, 02:42:27 AM »

It looks like you'll get some good bot launches out of that.
