As opposed to all the semi-armed robots patrolling in Iraq?

Hurry up and roll out all your toys 'cause it's late and Daddy's going to call you back home real soon.

So, when does operation Iraqi Skynet start?

Bolo

Ya know whats so funny about this is I really wish I had the contacts the guys who built these did. I could have built these systems for half the price and twice the capability and a self righting mechanism.

I built Battlebots for the TV show, and know exactly how this thing is put together right down the the cut down snow blower treads they buy in bulk. Funny thing is right now a rescue robotics company is using my stereo vision system for their new robots. But I have to be part of Haliburton to be able to offer true stereo vision system and a self righting mech onto this thing. Swear to god, all you have to do is wait till it stops. Blind side it and flip it over onto its side and its it about as useless as an ED-209 on stairs.

I would LOVE to challenge this thing in a head to head with a bot built by me and some of my BB friends. As an engineer you can see this is lowest bidder tech but you bet they are charging like hell for them.

^^I'm new here, and probably should be requesting things, but DAMN! I demand a post, complete with pics of said battlebots. You're a true hero sir!

They are retooling the website for the new ESPN 2 events coming next year, when it comes back look for 2 teams I was part of, My own was Team violence and the bot was a 60 pounder with a drum weapon powered by a 7 hp engine (bot name, little piece of hate ) . and I worked with and on OGRE a 350 pound bot. You may have seen me on the show with viking helmet and a huge hammer.

I don't know if I will get back into it, Very very expensive hobby. and I am running my own business now in animatronics and costuming.
