Robogames 2013 (With Pics and Videos) Bad Internets Beware!

Went to the Robogames in San Mateo, California yesterday and was a boatload of fun. Focused primarily on the combat robots portion of the tournament but the games also featured mech warfare (Humaniod bots), Robot Sumo, Robot Soccer, Bot Hockey, Art bots among other things.

Will update after post with footage from other as well as my own stuff from the games.

Results From Sunday! Copypasta from my Facebook.

K2 Vs Vlak in the Lightweight class

Pic of K2

Vlak over K2. K2 dominated until the drive failed. One sided for the most part.


Touro vs The Mortician


Touro over Mortican in an awesome fight. DEATH EVERYWHERE! (Mortician's blade SNAPPED in half and was then finished off when a wheel fell off)

General vs Doom On You

General over Doom On You in 30 secs. (Very quick fight after DOY tapped out after getting chewed apart.)

Ziege Vs Heavy Metal


My picture of Heavy Metal.


Ziege over Heavy Metal via judges. Pretty nice wedge fight. (Ziege was more agressive but pretty even for the most part)


Kaku Vs Witch Doctor


Kaku over Witch Doctor via split decision. Witch Doctor's blade stopped working a minute in. Crowd mixed. (Witch Doctor seemed to be favorite for some)

Blender Vs Mandy

Shot of both robots



Blender over Mandy by KO. Drum damage on Mandy did it in. (Mandy got wrecked is the best way to put it)

Big Cheese Vs KillerKT

Big Cheese over KilerKT after KT got stuck on the wall for a 2nd time. (There is a one free unstick rule when you got stuck on the wall)

Son Of Ziggy Vs Brutality





Son Of Ziggy over Brutality. Brutality dominates until the chain breaks and is counted out. (Ziggy used his rear end to attack Brutality and Ziggy was pretty badly damaged at the end of it)

Original Sin vs Sewer Snake




Orginal Sin over Sewer Snake. Great fight as usual. SS breaks the camera mount after the fight doing acrobatics. (That snake is such a showoff, Also said fights are uploaded to the youtoobs)

Last Rites Vs Great Pumpkin and Friend (Flybot)





Last Rites over Great Pumpkin and Flybot. Flybot hit the rafters and flipped within the first 5 seconds. Pumpkin tapped after a few shots. (yfw Pumpkin beat the big version of Touro)

More to come...
