I think Chino may have had a thread some time ago, but I can't find it, so here it goes. Basically the wife and I have been BattleBots fans for many years, but last year Chino got us up to Connecticut to see an NHRL event featuring 3, 12, and 30lb bots, compared to the 250lb bots you see on TV. I feared that it wouldn't be nearly as good, but honestly we had a blast. Over time I decided that I wanted to give it a go and so over the last three months we formed "Crafty Cat Combat" (playing off of my wife's "Crafty Cat Mom" crocheting moniker), and built our first 3lb bot, Little Bob.
We actually built it twice for ease of making it through damage and repairs. We got done in time and competed this past Saturday, January 20. We went 2-1 in the qualifiers to make it into the main tournament (you needed 2 wins), and then got knocked out in the first round. Chino was able to join and help out throughout that day as well!
But we had an absolute blast. Made a dropbox link with our fights, as well as some pictures of the bots, the pits, and the damage we took throughout.
