MegaBots has started a KickStarter campaign to take on Japan in a giant robot fighting duel. Many supporters such as Dave Lavery, Grant Imahara, and the creators of Battlebots have partnered to help MegaBots.

You can check out their KickStarter campaign with a goal of $500,000 in the link above.

I believe I also saw Gui Cavalcanti, former FRC mentor and Big Brain Theory participant.

This is the most patriotic thing I've ever seen, and I've attended about 15 NASCAR races.

You can purchase a Kuratas for between $1-2 million USD, depending on if you want shoulder-mounted rockets and a piledriver or not. Order off their website here (http://suidobashijuko.jp/). :D
In case anybody has not seen it, this is the challenge video:

Or perhaps it could mean that all of Dave's offensive desires have been met by megabots so that he's ready for another practically non-defensive FRC game, which would be just as bad.

Let me be the first to scream for "Balance in our FRC game, no matter what the cost!"

One 2012 bridge coming right up! (Or a 2001 bridge, but those tipped one way or the other.)

Rule: Can only make contact with opposing robot while BOTH robots are on A bridge. (Not sayin' they gotta be on the SAME bridge, ya understand.)

Firstly im saddened that you used that as a reference, then also surprised you've been to that many (mainly because there are none here...)
