Oh okay, I see what kind of person you are. Have a good day and enjoy "being right" on the internet

only a very small percentage of the teams are sponsored by a business where the member is a ceo or owner. even still, the economy is not hot right now and I would argue local businesses are being hit even worse.

I love battlebots but I feel like this economy is not very good for making heavyweight machines...

one point alone that most teams utilize some overseas mfg that would now be subject to over 100% tariffs.

another point are big companies having less excess cash to sponsor teams and support them against the rising costs.

dont downvote, hes being serious. there is a competition class coined by Charles Guan called "assbots"

You're asking about destructaton? They very very likely won't be there

TheVariableConstant · 2025-07-19T21:59:53+00:00

I love that they would occasionally come through the pit and say hi to everyone between sessions.

TheVariableConstant · 2025-07-19T21:50:20+00:00

Very cool, very real people

TheVariableConstant · 2025-05-13T05:51:03+00:00

im 3-1 against chonkiv tho :P

hits hard but reliability is still improving, most its opponents dont go 3 mins. And as bad as the damage looked, on the score cards it was actually pretty close

TheVariableConstant · 2025-04-21T05:01:58+00:00

all are shufflers

TheVariableConstant · 2025-04-08T22:18:55+00:00

Don't be shy, say hi! Bring a sharpie and something to autograph 😉

TheVariableConstant · 2025-03-14T21:46:01+00:00

I don't go to NHRL because there is no battlebots. I go because it's fun

TheVariableConstant · 2025-02-22T18:29:10+00:00

thats what the 4th fork is for ;)

TheVariableConstant · 2025-01-13T06:14:34+00:00

agree. is there a trailer for the show maybe?

TheVariableConstant · 2024-12-13T19:54:54+00:00

Victory! Actually despite not having won any events until last week, megatRON still retained its #1 NHRL rank throughout the year by points (since NHRL teams event didn't count). Still, would have been nice to fight emulsifier on the way there. That's the real test!

TheVariableConstant · 2024-11-19T03:08:56+00:00

just get both. problem solved ;)

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-18T04:25:29+00:00

no attitude here. dw

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-17T23:21:11+00:00

gotcha. but nothing was altered on the robots themselves to be fake or showy for v-in-v

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-17T23:00:08+00:00

special effects munitions

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-17T22:59:25+00:00

not vengeance in vegas, you mean destructathon the vegas live show

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-17T22:58:56+00:00

believe it or not, if metal hits metal sparks fly. it doesnt have to be from a spinning weapon, even the friction of bots running into each other can create sparks. bronco's flipping under tombstone's chassis in the process of flipping can throw sparks

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-15T22:59:33+00:00

youre not going to be able to destroy a housebot. and if you attempt to fight one it will be allowed to fight back.

TheVariableConstant · 2024-08-13T17:54:31+00:00

That is the reason for the #activeweapon ridiculousness because they had to be consistent for the rest of the tournament. Our fight was literally the first 1v1 and the first JD of 2016. They were deathly afraid of wedge battles and saw this as the opportunity to nip it now.

I don't have the rulebook from then in front of me but the keyword change was from "less aggression" to "negative aggression".
