They wouldn't let us take videos of the last 3 matches (aka the best matches) because they took place in the large arena.

Then put up the others!

I don't have time right now. I will do it over the weekend. Have some patience. I have a lot of make up work to do.

Look what i found
My favorite part is there weapon coming off lol

Maybe his weapon should be tethered lol

im pretty sure it should be considered a projectile

I just found some cool pictures:
Battlebots Pictures

Sweet! My angle grinder made pic 13.

Incase you haven't heard(you probably have), in the match against Executor(in the above video), when you see the weapon come off and a few people get up(then the camera look up at the ceiling)....

Well, if you couldn't tell, they shattered the Lexan and the weapon shot through the ceiling of the box...

ya.. it was a big deal..

You probably could have done the same thing.

Yup, he did.

kinda sucks, but at least we know it wasn't a fluke! We're already coming up with new Ideas to make it better

With the size of your drum...he still overpowered fluffy??? or was it something else?

we only ran it at half speed.. we probably should have ramped it up, but too late now!

I think part of it was, no offense Will, you're an amazing driver, but eXecutor's driver was just better, that or the drive system itself was better.

im telling you you should have tried the L channel lol
And the arena thing, it wouldve been cooler if it was the entire bot haha

what L channel thing?

and the MI driver was good, but the main thing is that his drum was going a little bit faster than ours, and grabbed the tooth and threw it in the air..

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if eXecuter's driver was just a little bit more familiar with their robot than Will is with Fluffy. The benefits of having a robot operational for a few years ahead of the competition in question.

then you should have immediately ramped up ur drum's speed.
