So I was watching a compilation of BattleBots on YouTube tonight and realized that the “wedge” is pretty much unbeatable. It’s almost not fun to watch – there should be a wedge only league or no wedge allowed or something. At one point it just turned into a fight of wedges….
The second most powerful the spinner – usually a spinning blade but sometimes the whole body spins. The problem with these is that once your spinning part stops, and usually it does, you got nothing.
So if I was gonna battle bot I would make my entire robot a magnet, then all I have to do is run into the other robot until it sticks to me, then bash it against the wall or into the area hazards. Problem solved. ALL HAIL MAGENTA (no relation to Magneto, a copywrite of Marvel comics) Years of Loony Toons has taught me this is a viable plan
That or I would just get the Honda Asimo robot to pick it up and smash it. That’s a good plan too.
Or better yet, one of those scary ass Boston Dynamics/DARPA big dog robots. Nobody is gonna fuck with that thing. Look at it! Imagine you are taking a hike though the forest and these things are around the next bend in the trail. I would wet myself, I’m about wetting myself now just thinking about it…
On a side note, while searching for images I learned that during the height of the Battlebot craze in 2002, McDonalds included Battlebots in happy meals. There were a total of 7 licensed robots, plus 1 fictional robot McDonald’s created themselves. I hope those Battlebot organizer’s invested their money wisely.
