After watching every “discovery” season of battle bots then seeing their independent stuff it’s clear to see how much non sense is brought in from show producers. Deemed “fan favorites” previously getting easy preselected fights. Are all of a sudden decimated in later seasons when matches are random again...
I am bewildered people spend 100s of hours and tens of thousands of dollars to to have such a piss poor chance in making an impact with the idiotic show producers.
And from what I gather there is 0 financial compensation not even for the tournament winners. (Vegas shows I believe they are paid)
I use to seriously , ridiculously wanted to make an appearance on battle bots. Of the show format comes back I think I am better off and would enjoy a “lower” competition much more ...
Don’t see getting off this Robot Combat kick anytime soon

During my "quarter century robot combat extravaganza" stream I aired some old fight videos from 20+ years ago and talked about them. Well, one of the things I did for this stream that I had been meaning to do for a while was hit my VHS archives and digitize some never before seen battles from my middle school's Robotics Club from 2002.
Here is one of those videos (more of them are on the YouTube channel, and I have a few more odds and ends to upload soon too). -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmrEwrKiz58
This is a match between two of the tougher robots the event saw, Terminal Impact and The Impaler. Terminal Impact was my robot and it was built from an RC car that I'd rewired and hacked a massive spinning disc onto. The Impaler was also a scrap build and it was a sturdy metal box that resembled its namesake, BattleBots competitor Vlad The Impaler.

Here is a sneak preview of tonight's "unboxing" on this week's episode of Gatorbox. I've cleaned out my workshop to show off and talk about over two decades worth of robot combat and hobbyist maker stuff. Some of the stuff in this box dates back to the year 2000! I'll also be playing some old fight videos featuring some of these robots as well as debuting never before seen footage of my oldest robots that I've dug out of the VHS archives just for this stream!
Then, afterward, we'll be watching and talking about some of the best underground robot combat fights of all time. All this because there is no Robogames livestream for me to host with my own lame jokes and commentary! My loss is your gain!
The show starts TONIGHT at 9PM Central on Gatorbox, https://twitch.tv/gatorbox
Immediately following the livestream the VOD will be available to watch from the "Videos" tab on my Twitch page. I will also be editing the stream down and posting a consolidated version on YouTube some time later.

Revisiting #RoboGames 2023. I can absolutely fuck with some Robogames. Hope some day I get to see it IRL.

1. We have SO much food in this house. Months' worth. What a harbor of security in uncertain times.
2. #NHRL All Stars this week, babyyy! #robotCombat
3. The tiredness has shifted. I've had enough to work full time hours but not much else, never able to get enough rest to recover fully, and just resigned to this being my life. Lately it's been more like "almost ok, if I can just get a LITTLE more rest and recovery." 🤞

I don't know what we did to deserve Tom Farkas, but I'm sure glad to live in a world where he exists. #BattleBots #NHRL #PawsitivelyHissterical #RobotCombat #catstodon (well, kinda catstodon related...)

Flip through some of this amazing stuff if you want to understand why I love #NHRL so much.

How does more #BattleBots sound? This is Full Auto, a beetleweight I built back in 2017. The name of the game here was to make something with a lot of "crumple" space so it could get demolished and still work. I designed an outer shell that looked like a demo derby car and ran with it from there.
Full Auto's power indication light was actually a set of four LED's acting as headlights and brake lights and its main weapon was a thick steel train plow-styled ram. Unfortunately the robot wasn't as quick as I'd have liked since I got some bad intel on the motors I ordered from China. Even running them at 12V still produced weak results.
Full Auto took a beating, as you can see, and was eventually dispatched in the royal rumble when a vertical spinner hit it from the side and bent up its base plate lifting all of its wheels off the ground. The robot was still 100% operational after that it, it was just too bent out of shape to move around!

Since Masto seems to like what I'm spittin out here's another one of my #BattleBots! This is Telefrag, a 150g combat robot nicknamed "The Killer Cigarette Pack" because of its size and shape. I'm obsessed with tank tracks so under the hood this little guy is packing treads and two drive motors similar in size to what you'd see on a 1 pound antweight. In other words you're going to lose a tractor pull with this robot!
Telefrag took 2nd place at a DARC event in 2017 after losing only one fight. It has continued to compete over the years but hasn't matched that same level of success again.
Telefrag appeared in the YouTube show Antweight Anarchy as a show bot! I've attached a picture of the replica build to this post as well, however I did not build this version. This one was done by Anthony Murney.
