What exactly was that robot supposed to do outside of being victimized by Tombstone? That thing on top of the bot was useless. The only reason they won their first match was because the robot they were competing against didn't work.

well obviously, the hammer was supposed to work: Im guessing they were going for superior mobility, since they had swerve drive (although why they needed 6 wheels, IDK), letting them keep the hammer towards their opponent easier. it was way to complicated to be effective in a sport where your opponent is trying to rip you in half. (also, reinforced plastic???? why????)

You mean Virginia? :rolleyes: Yeah, sure am satisfied that I don't live there... wait.

He kinda did. the robot that holds the giant nut in each episode is his:

And that hand is a masterpiece. The software and the software interface he made for that thing was impressive.

I had the pleasure of talking with Mark at the Battlebots filming about his creation. It is mesmerizing to watch up close. A thing of beauty to watch. He has all kinds of different modes, but they really only showed the smooth spinning mode most of the time on tv.

In any case, VEX Robotics and Innovation First International are proud to be a small part of the new Battlebots and look to increase our involvement and support in the coming years.

Did Paul V also win the hand to go along with the nut? Because that'd be a pretty sweet pedestal to put it on.

The producers touch upon many things that were mentioned in this thread. Looks promising!

For anybody interested Tested has two more Battlebots videos up.
One gives a technical look into Hypershock and the other gives a general behind-the-scenes look at the whole competition and has some really great interviews with the drivers and builders. Definitely a must see.
