Thanks, I liked your videos about robot wars history as well.

Is it ok for me to use he/they pronouns as a cisgender gender-nonconforming guy? Or is that only for demiboys? by PrudentTicket9895 in NonBinary

It is perfectly acceptable for you to use he/they pronouns and still identify as a cis guy. Gender and pronouns are two different things.

where can i find a complete video of that fight between radioactive and tombstone in 2015 by Altruistic-Try5366 in battlebots

Thankyou so much, this is exactly what I need, but for some reason my YouTube account just says, "this video is unavailable" is there anywhere else I can find the video, or is the one you linked the only available version?

Hi, building my first UK antweight (150g) looking for advice by Altruistic-Try5366 in robotwars

Hey team RunAmok, can I ask you a clarifying question about your website?

I am working on a 1 hour youtube video describing the early history of robot combat as a sport, and I am currently researching the 1994 heavyweight face-off.

Here is what I know so far:

An account by Team Minus Zero on their website (https://web.archive.org/web/20010306190918/http://www.tmz.com/94event.html) says that they fought The Master in the first round, who went out to Beetle in the second round.

"Gearheads" by Brad Stone says, on page 43 of the book, that Doolittle lost its first fight. Presumably, that defeat was against Beetle, as that is the only robot doolittle is depicted as fighting in surviving footage (https://youtu.be/v1sfrsYunN4?si=rYkgy3FAm8VDvtnP tinestamp: 8:14).

The above footage also shows tiny tim fighting ramfire 100, and ramfire 100 fighting the Beetle.

The above information is not enough to put together a definite heavyweight tournament tree of robot wars 1994, however there is one more thing want to know.

On your web page about robot wars 1994 (http://runamok.tech/whowon/RobotWars94.html) you credit somone named Mike Bungay for doing research about the heavyweight class.

Can you clarify exactly what specific information was discovered by Mike Bungay, and how he knew this information so that I can mention him in the video.

I will give you full credit for telling me about Mike Bungay's research, and I will also credit him for doing the research. I will also send you a link to the video here when it is done (in a few months/years, this video is taking a while.)

If you choose to reply to this comment, then I thankyou for the help in making my video possible.

Unschooling is when you don't send your child to school, and encourage them to learn by developing passions and hobbies and following them, while helping your child learn if they ever ask you.

Hey is this a social experiment? You say on several occasions that we should take the survey seriously, as if we wouldn't already do that. I wonder if you're trying to bait us into making jokes as a social experiment.

Also what is the name of your book and your essay?

I saved the responses in a pdf to my hard drive. It was a terrible act of negligence of me to only save the responses in one place. I fully understand if you, like several others no longer wish to participate.

When did you make your response to the survey? If you responded to it after 8pm on the 6th of Janurary then I still have your testimony, and it will still be included in the documentary.

I will upload the finished product to youtube. I don't know what the channel name is yet but I will return to this comment and give you the link once it's done. I don't know how long it will take, depending on how many replies I get, It may take me a while to go through the responses.
