I like them both (first and BB) look for my robot to be entered next year under the name 'Silverado' in the Middleweight Class.
It should be fun to see what Air over Oil Intensification can do out there.
One cool thing I have been learning is ProEngineer to model the robot.
My personal views: since I like Battlebots doesn't mean I am going to go out and crash my car into someone/something. Its entertaining to me, its a game. Huge amounts of engineering go into these Bots just like first, many are now using our control system or the Isaac. Just because something is destructive doesn't mean it is automatically bad. Its been said before 'No one gets hurt at a BattleBots event'
If this years game is like football think about football players. Ever look at how they walk 5 years after they retire, leg/knee joints have been ruined, concusions, scars. How about AutoRacing there are accidents in almost every match that total out cars, people die get hurt, 'rubbing's racing'.
Just to be sure it clear our robot is not designed to hurt anyone elses, it won't be a box with 12 motor tank drive to push people around either. The task will be to get balls and goals as fast as possible
