Did anyone catch Robogames this weekend?

Ziggy is an amazing bot. I distinctly remember standing on the driver platform one year when Ziggy tossed a fully spinning megabyte onto the poly. That was scary

I wouldn't go in there with those things if I knew they could suddenly start up and get me.

Ironically: combat safety regulations are a lot more lax than FRC.
