Whoa they allowed combustion engines! Just curious, what type of alternator did most people use then? Also I love Battlebots, heck they started me on robotics before FIRST (They have Bill and you can't beat that!). I think its a great next level to FIRST because of the greater freedom it allows, also the mayhem that a couple of us thoroughly enjoy! Anyhew I'm wondering if you guys are going to give us some good pics of the innards! I'm dying to take a peek at the proverbial intestines ( ) of your robot! By the way great job! I love the work and i hope you guys do it again next year! I'm planning my own eventual design! Curious, do you know if they banned turbine engines (I'm serious)? I mean as long as it fits all the other constraint of course.

What happened there looks like your robot blew up.

Yeah pretty much since the 2" cylinder seals broke after the rod was bent and the 250 psi pressure released instantaneously.

Good to see that some more people have gotten insight on the combat world, and that they got some media spotlight out of it too. I started out doing combat and still am, alongside FRC this year.
