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.

Guys....Plan X has minibots.

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.

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

Myself and Travis were part of Paul Ventimiglia's pit crew at the event. It was a lot of fun and we're looking forward to the first episode, where they will show our qualifying match vs Warhead, one of the most iconic battlebots from the original series.

What an incredible match by Bite Force. Amazing job, Team Aptyx!

Of course 254 owns Battlebots too

[Jared]

Nice work team Aptyx! That was awesome.

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!)

The first surge never abated.
