A look back at robot combat from 2004-2006. Includes footage from events like SDC, RoboGames, and R3, as well as many Western Allied Robotics events. Re-uploaded to take advantage of glorious 480p.
It also seemed a lot more accessible then, like people didn’t need a million sponsors or tons of experience before even thinking of entering lightweight and above
@@hex1044 Technically you still don't, the problem is that Battlebots enforces a high barrier of entry simply because they want high-tech bots with advanced design and construction techniques for show purposes. There's a yearly competition here in Orlando where they have a full-on Sportsman Heavyweight class where you can just enter whatever as long as it's not a spinner (due to safety concerns with the extremely old arena they use).
I didn't realise Sewer Snake, Last Rites, Megabyte, Ziggy etc were so old! I had assumed they showed up on the scene maybe 8 to 10 years after Comedy Central BB ended; not like 2 to 4 years...
WTF??? Where have you been? You just disappeared on CZcams for 2 years and out of nowhere you post a new montage. But other than that the video is very good and im glad you came back
Thx for uploading. Choice savage moments, metal. What about your own violent animals? K2 vs coconuts? Debacle vs a dead squirrel? Apex vs Rockem Sockem Robots?
I absolutely love this era of the sport, where people had finally figured out what works but were still willing to experiment.
