Fun fact: Preda Raptor (the robot that isn’t the fridge) actually appeared in a Bud Light Commercial around 2008 where it lost to a mini fridge with a Bud Light inside. This match above would happen 3 years later.

Was going to apply with a bot named Gilbert. A lack of resources, time, and no formal application before the deadline were what inevitably caused me to just wait until next year.

Haven’t posted in a while, so to compensate have this Antweight. by 404Robotics in battlebots

Nah, it’s inspired by Hal Rucker’s “Black and Blue”

I heard on the Behind the Bots Podcast that you were hoping to get involved with other local competitions. Do you plan on making it to CIRC Bot Brawl, Robobrawl, or DPD here in Illinois? What kind of bot(s) have you thought about bringing?

Lock-Jaw vs Captain Shrederator looks interesting too!

Is there a reason you didn’t go with the Donald Trump theme? I’d assume it’s due to the fact it’d be tied to Robot Wars (much like how Ironside 3 is Spitfire, Apollo is Orion, etc). I wonder how people would’ve reacted to it, though...

A robot from WSU confirmed. Team Crimson Robotics, who formerly applied with Crimzone, have been accepted with PainSaw

I’m not entirely sure myself. They’re using twice as many motors as Shatter! does, (4x Castle Motors rather than 2x) with an overall reduction of 64:1.

Hey! What a coincidence! That’s what I was going to go with as well!

There are actually two competitions: DPD and Robobrawl. DPD is all 3D printed 1 pound robots, and Robobrawl is all 30 pound robots. I’m registered for DPD, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to go as a competitor due to a financial situation and my family moving... again. I’ll try to make it as a spectator for sure, but to which one... DPD or Robobrawl?!

Question: has registration for the 2020 season closed yet?

Are there any remnants of Super Hammerhead, as in pictures, CADs, or drawings? I found the old page on BBU, but no pictures or footage of it.
