HUGE is a vertical spinner that is designed to counter vertical spinners.

That makes it an Anti-vertical spinner vertical spinner.

Now if you designed a robot specifically to counter HUGE, it would likely look a lot like Deep Six.

That makes Deep Six an Anti-anti-vertical spinner vertical spinner vertical spinner.

Just been holding onto that nugget for years now. Just felt like letting anyone know.

Zach Lytle confirmed it here, assuming official announcement should be coming soon.

BrettZone is due for a makeover. How can we make better. How can we make it pair with the stream better?

Edit: I made some changes to BZ. Check it out http://brettzone.nhrl.io/

You can include robots from the ComedyCentral era too if you like.

Hey everyone, just dropping a little plug for something I've put quite a large amount of effort into over the last few months.

My 150g Antweights, Shoveron and Elevron are now publicly available with a full print files, build guide, BOM and assemblies with more modules to follow in the future.

Hoping this is something that can give newcomers a jumping off point to get along to a competition without having to worry about learning CAD.

If you're interested link for the YouTube video is below, print files are hosted on printables and linked in the YouTube description.

I ask this because in season 6, Tombstone seemed like it was just dropping bombs on whoever it hit.

Now the obvious answer here is “because it’s Tombstone”, but even by Tombstone’s own standards those hits on Mammoth and Jackpot were fricking massive. Plus, in previous seasons, Tombstone could generally handle throwing itself into the wall without getting immobilized. Against both Mammoth and Jackpot, the recoil launched Tombstone into the wall so hard that the impact killed it.

So far, the only other bot I’ve seen that hits that hard was Son of Whyachi, which is saying something.

You start off in the smaller divisions and work your way up, building bots, with online tournaments.

I know it didn't, but it's interesting to think about. Both robots knocked out after one hit within the first five seconds. How do you judge that? What counts as aggression? et cetera
