Honestly, I prefer #NHRL primarily because they're producing more new, regularly-scheduled, high-quality competition shows in places I can easily watch.

If #BattleBots went back to a championship every year plus FaceOffs or whatever... frankly I'd just watch both. I'm not so strapped for screen time that I have pick one or the other.

@Dio9sys FWIW nets are illegal in #BattleBots (under the category of entanglement devices). So your BB4QcD could just outlaw them too, if you like.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to make weight as a BattleBot by the end of the year. This is a pretty modest goal, which would bring my BMI from 30.3 to 28.9 (or lower). But it used to be that when I thought a casual observer of the videos didn't appreciate the scale of things I could point out: "Those machines weigh more than I do." which would often shock people because I'm a rather large person... and it's kinda sad that I can't say that anymore.

It's pretty early in the year so whether I appear to be on-track to reach teh goal depends on what time of day I weigh myself.

Any other #CombatRobotics fans watching the Emirates hosting the British (a la #RobotsLive) putting on an American-style (specifically #BattleBots -style) tournament? The way the announcers & production are being done is more appropriate and, IMO, 100x better than what the Russians did last week ( #BitvaRobotov ).

TIL about the Bitva Robot tournament. And that its finals are this weekend.

bitvarobotov.tech

Or if an auto-translate-to-English is more your speed:
That page has links to cost-free video on VK.

I would, of course, be rooting for Black Dragon. And since Black Dragon has previously competed on Battle Bots, that justifies the hashtag.

Anyone aware of "Battle of Robots" at "Games of the Future" coming up in a week? What is the ruleset, exactly? Single-elim bracket?

It's weird for an event with the largest 1st-place cash prize ever to have so few details available. And when I tried to watch what I could find of their one previous event, I was more confused than anything.

#combatrobotics ... not #NHRL or #BattleBots but I don't know what tags one would use for visibility ... #GamesOfTheFuture I guess?
