Here are some pictures of our newest Beetleweight bots:

This is 'Crusher III'. The base plate has been used in many prior configurations, hence the insane amount of holes. Using Banebot wheels for better traction. Can't wait to see how it holds up in the arena.

This one is called 'Stop Hitting Yourself'. The body is made from Actobotics parts, which gets us out of the hole drilling business.

Hi Everyone, we attended the Vector Space event in Lynchburg and won first place in Ants, and third place in Beetles! It was a terrific event. Our hats are off to the Vector Space team for running a super fun event.



Will won first place driving Mint Condition. The trophy weighs 25 pounds!

 

Here's Will holding Mint Condition. Will's driving was awesome; he went 4-0 for the day in Ants.

The arena was in a great space. Folks could watch from an elevated gallery.

I love it when there's signage.

The loading-in process is better with wheels.

Will is in the pits getting ready to rumble.



Mixed results for Clank today; might need to retire this banged-up veteran of three competitions. It always seemed to have drive issues.

Crusher, driven by Dad, won third place. Alas, design issues may warrant a well needed retirement for this one too. We're getting tired of replacing motors after every match.
