Hi Everyone,
We attended the NERC event at Franklin Institute and had a blast! We competed with Beatleweight, Hobbyweight, and Sportsman bots.
Each of our bots won one match and even our losses were not too shabby with several going to the judges.
The highlight of the day was getting to fight Ray Billings (of Tombstone fame). Our 12-pounder, Supercell, went up against his bot called 'Fake News'. We had a great match which went to the judges who awarded Ray the win. It was truly an honor to compete against one of the greatest combat robotics engineers around.
