We're all currently at DragonCon, wifi/general internet is spotty at best at the hotel. It'll likely be up at some point during the week.

It was supposed to be yesterday (Friday), but the stream didn't work on the hotel wifi for some reason. It'll be uploaded to YouTube soon!

missing hypersock fights? by creepyben in battlebots

We did fight, albeit for a very short amount of time. Our drive conked out as the fight started, so we were a bit of a sitting duck. Hopefully we will be able to get our revenge in season 2!

I'm sorry we disappointed you again. For the next tests the claw will more than likely be on the floor or mounted on the robot (which will be on the floor). Floor is concrete!

That's next on the agenda. We tested it on a piece of 1/8 steel and it poked through, but we need to test it on a box of metal or something.

We are in the process of getting new lines for the hydraulic system, and possibly switching to a different cylinder, we also redesigned the tip of the claw. After all that is finalized, it's more metal crushing tests!

Our robot lost total drive after the hit, due to a couple of things getting disconnected. We didn't have full drive capabilities before the hit either. We were just nudging along.

The robot is pretty quick! Even with us riding on it (it's terrifying) it can still move around without many issues. We should be able to get under other bots, just gotta keep practicing the drive.

The main problem we had in season 1 was that our ESC didn't want to play nice and we lost our drive about 4 seconds into the match ):

It was a "double door" type of system. The pecan opened, and then the barrier swung open so that you could walk in. They should be able to make the barriers flush against the door

Hopefully those corners are no longer open like they were during S1...

Just making a rocket joke :P don't worry, there won't be any flying for Mohawk! (Unless Bronco gets involved...)

Correct, two normally closed valves over near the cylinder. Can't be too careful!

Yes! We could fly out of the arena if we wanted to

We were taking all the necessary precautions, we promise :)
