Hideous Robotic Carnage

As promised, scenes from the Machines Behaving Badly tournament.  The footage is a bit uneven, as an experiment we had "arenacams" mounted inside the cage and operating automatically.  Dean H. spliced the footage together.  Next time we add sound!

 
 Here Carl and The Beast Within show how much mayhem can be generated by $15 worth of servos and an old Barbie Jeep gearbox.....

In this match "Ellion" loses her demonic head, and The Complication demonstrates something of a design flaw.....
And antweight (one pounder) fight.  Very well matched, good driving by both lads.  Some find pushing matches less exciting, but with the arena hazards turned up to 24 volts disaster is always just inches away....

In any event, the full video archives of the Robotterdammerung can be found at:

Middle School Kids with Killer Robots....what could possibly go wrong?
