BattleBots Return - And They're Powered by VEXpro!

FYI, it's about to start.

Also, will this bring in another surge of "Is it like BattleBots" when someone asks about your participation in FRC?

Yes, most likely. But honestly that's a good thing. Especially if it gets more people interested in building more machines like battlebots.

And like most FRC versions, they did nothing and when tasked, they didnt do anything.

Against the team that also built Razer. Epic!!!

You can definitely tell bite force was designed by people who know what they're doing. They didn't just build a good robot; they designed strategically and analyzed the game. And they're crushing it. (literally!)

Nice work team Aptyx! That was awesome.

After watching icewave vs razorback it definately seems scouting is crucial. I'm a little dissapointed to see subjective stats like aggression instead of things like weight, motors, and drivetrain. I'd like to see how thats calculated. I guess thats the price of being on tv

Yeah, those battlebots TV producers should take a few hints from FRC Scouting. I'd love to see what powers some of the spinning arms/saws and crushing devices.

The first surge never abated.

Ok, I'll give you that...but there should have been a generation gap dang it!

I'll give the first episode a solid A-.

To slightly rephrase a relevant quote : "There are those that understand BattleBots. And there are those that don't matter."

Team Aptyx for the win. It was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I am curious; how much scouting and robot modification actually goes on for Battle Bot competitions? The show kinda alluded to it when they were talking about Project X and her multitude of weapons, but it was never clear.
