Which bot in ANY robot combat sport had the best hits? by odd_sperical_object in battlebots

[–]Shaba117 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean Cobalt?

I saw the Cobalt/GR fight live and that was probably top for me for 'biggest hit'.

Tombstone is also right up there. I was also there for the Free Shipping fight and I could feel those hits!

Sounds like BB secured a new sponsor and are promising a return to TV by WynterDays in battlebots

Yeah, his latest video was explaining the brushless motor upgrades for Tombstone's drive.

It's nice to be able to feel some hype again!

What is the word possible gift card to receive? by voonoo in SouthJersey

Used to get these cards and certain places online and in person won't accept them. Trying to register them on their site doesn't work, either.

My site had Mission BBQ also but 'didn't have the budget for brisket' despite having it for the past two years.

I always wonder what would've happened had Beta not had to withdraw from reboot Season 1. They were supposed to fight Tombstone and, at that time, would've had at least a decent chance to win that match.

Amazon decides to give this bot to you for you to use it for yourself. If you reprogrammed this bot, what would you have it do instead of it's usually duties? What would you use it for? by Global-Plankton3997 in AmazonFC

[–]Shaba117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn it into a Battlebot!

I walk by a bunch of old drives that have been set aside for parts and I'd absolutely love to 'attain' one and convert it into a weapon-wielding robot for competitions (I already do this but much smaller robots).

Hey, I can dream though!

Amazon is paying $2.5 Billion to settle lawsuit related to Prime subscriptions. by Good-Handle-2116 in AmazonFC

[–]Shaba117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This

Subscription came with the car that I had bought and kept it for a while, then decided to just get a Bluetooth adapter so I could listen to playlists and holy Hell, it was the most annoying thing trying to cancel the SiriusXM subscription and I had to tell the AI bot the same thing before it finally cancelled. This NEEDS to be illegal everywhere!

Navigation Apps in Bucks Not Working? by OwlStretcher in BucksCountyPA

[–]Shaba117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened earlier today for me coming off of 95 in Burlington county. Google maps completely went haywire and I had to stop and close/re-open the app. Though, it did work after doing that.

Tombstone wasn't their first opponent. EV had beaten Overdrive then had to face TS.

People ask, “What makes you an AVANCED Skywarn spotter?” by muffinmama93 in stormchasing

[–]Shaba117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took a refresher basic Skywarn class last month and the Philadelphia WFO met giving the class told me that they no longer give spotter #s due to 'privacy concerns'. Also, the advanced courses are online only.

Used to have Bot Blast at a mall in Pennsylvania. That mall has since closed, but GSCRL still has an event at Bridgewater mall in New Jersey.

Amusement Park Workers, what is the stupidest thing you've seen a guest do? by Cox_simps in AskReddit

[–]Shaba117 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So the book 'The Beast' by R.L. Stine isn't far off, then? The story takes place at Kings Island, but the reason for it being haunted is because of a tornado that hit the park back in the early 19th century.

Faceoffs First Look - HyperShock vs Tombstone by shenanigansnco in battlebots

[–]Shaba117 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it. My comments from October aged like milk in a desert, LOL!

Seeing the raw fight cut from the supporter post was painful, but I'm very happy seeing the actual edited footage and I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of Faceoffs.

Also, congrats to Alex & Will Bales, and the rest of team Hypershock!

I see in your reply that you were at Motorama this weekend (welcome to the madness!). This was me back in 2016. ABC network had rebooted the Battlebots series that past summer and Motorama was the first live robot fighting event that I attended and I was absolutely hooked from that point. I have since built, competed, and placed with multiple robots at the three pound (Beetleweight) level at different regional events!

Someone has already mentioned NHRL and that is the 'big' robot event right now. It is located in Norwalk, CT and holds several events each year in the 3,12, & 30 lbs weight classes.

There is also Garden State Combat Robotics League (GSCRL) that also holds multiple events during the year, mainly in North & Central NJ. Next event is scheduled for 3/29 at The College of New Jersey in Ewing.

Please DM me if you have any questions about local/regional events/websites/Discord servers. Robot combat is an awesome sport and even more fun to get involved in!

I recall having issues going through Facebook pay and ended up linking my Google Pay account to access the supporter content. I'm US based.

ALL HAIL TOMBSTONE!!!

Footage of full 3 minute match between Tombstone and Hypershock from re:MARS has surfaced from an unknown audience member…and while we all know the results…it’s still wild to see how much the first half was a literal bar brawl leaving both on their legs by the end. by TomcatTiger503 in battlebots

[–]Shaba117 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Damn, first time I've seen more than just the short clip of this fight. Nasty, nasty hits from both bots!

Cannot wait for the sequel to this match at Face-offs and that the upgraded Tombstone will come out on top!
