Alternative robot combat contest

[team death]

I saw this Robot combat video whilst browsing You tube-
looks like fun and would probably suit some newbies
on a empty pop bottle and old plimsole budget

They actually held Hebocon again earlier this year. It's fair to say it's a far cry from Robot Wars, but I'm glad team nuts showed up. Tthat seems right up their alley, no offence.

omg how do we sign up for this? Skipdiving Robotics is the master of this stuff!

I do think you will have a great edge. Just enter a brick, it's what I'm going to do.

The inanimate Pingu (coke can) did appear to win the competition so your
probably right Theo-a brick may be the answer, but how long before they
all start using a brick eh?-more like a monty python sketch than a valid
rubbish robot competition.

Also if you're looking for more videos of Hebocon, you have to watch this one from Japan, it's up there with some of my favourite videos on the internet:
