I like the Berkeley Rose Garden

Beer Bash Vs. Piranha 3

Still trying to find footage of a fight where we win. But this one is the first time we ever went the distance.

Beer Bash's Last Match at Combots 07

Ouch! I am glad it was the "B" frame, cuz it is a total loss.

I feal like I have been in a fight.

We where the first fight on the second day, they needed a croud pleaser to get the audiance up (and that is us). After spending most of the night working like crazy to repair the dammage done on Saturday, we got in the ring, and got torn apart.

Oh on saturday we entered a little version of BB in a fight.

What a day

We won two fights and lost one. We are in the final 4!!
Beer Bash took some of the biggest hits I have seen in middle weight and kept going.
We had to go to the "B" frame for tomorows fight and I don't know how we are going to get ready for RoboGames, which is in a month.
But who cares, we are going to fight tomorow.

Priceless

Fight Day

My robot is fighting next weekend at Maker Faire. There, now you have all of the info I do.
Ok, not all. The robots in my divison are listed here. And the world famous Toad will have an art bot entry.
Oh, and we have added a flame thrower to Beer Bash, so we will be spurting fire. Right now we are working like hell to try and spurt fire out of the nozzle and ONLY the nozzle.

A little better.

The cool thing about digital, is the learning curve it very short. I can play with it and immediatly see what I am going to get.

P.S. The buds are about 1/8" across

Late

Why is it that no matter when I get up I always get into work at the same time?

First Light

I finaly bit the bullit and got a digital camera.
I don't think I have it quite figured out.
More to follow.
