Night Crawler Build Report
A detailed build report for Night Crawler is up. This includes design and fabrication discussions, along with a Motorama 2020 postmortem.
Motorama 2020
Another successful Motorama in the books. I headed to Harrisburg Luke and Chad for my 8th Motorama, bringing Night Crawler. Went 3-2, not bad for a completely new bot.
Night Crawler
A new 12 pound bot is registered for Motorama 2020: Night Crawler. Follow our progress on Facebook.
Battlebots 2019
A Colorado super group headed to Battlebots with Copperhead to take on the big boys. It was great hanging out with Zach, Casey, Robert, and Luke, and being part of a TV show for the first time in 18 years.
STEAM Fest 2019
Angry Accountant had a quick turn around after Motorama and headed out to the local STEAMFest competition in Longmont. Feeling a bit beat up, Angry ended up going 0 and 2. This officially retires the third generation of Angry, who managed to get 9 events in for this version, including 1st place finishes at Robogames and Steamfest, 2nd place at AVC, and 3rd place at Motorama. She will be rebuilt!
Motorama 2019
Angry Accountant and 60 Seconds of Glory once again headed to Harrisburg to see new and old friends. Angry placed 3rd in antweights.
AVC 2018
Another great event right in our backyard. Angry was undefeated until her electronics fried, forcing her into 2 forfeits. 60 Seconds of Glory had a poor showing, going 1 and 2, and oddly liquified her batteries. A new magnet 12 pound bot, "Grond" went 2 and 2. I once again got to be the trigger man on Rocket, which was somehow more fun than last time.
Fight My Bots 2018
60 Seconds of Glory headed to China with Chad from Team Wazio on a surprise trip. Chad drove her to a 5 and 1 record, placing 8th out of a field of 48.
RoboGames 2018
Headed to the Bay area with Luke and Chad for RoboGames. Angry took first place in the antweights, and I had a blast being the trigger man on Chad's 60 pound flipper, Rocket.
STEAM Fest 2018
Chad, Luke, and myself helped put on STEAM Fest this year. Casey and Zach were in China filming CBS, so we picked up the slack as best we could. It seemed like a resounding success, it was a hectic two days.
Motorama 2018
Angry Accountant and 60 Seconds of Glory headed to Harrisburg in February to compete against old and new friends. Team Wazio, Team Thrasher, and Team DSM joined us to form a pretty formidable Colorado Contingent.
Critter Crunch 2017
Sister Christian fought back after some early losses to earn a 2nd place win at Critter Crunch 2017. She also was the last bot standing for the 2 pound rumble. The Inhaler made a surprise showing, easily winning 1st place, and mopping the floor during the 20 pound rumble. A good day for Team Cosmos!
AVC 2017
Attended the Sparkfun AVC 2017 contest with 60 Seconds of Glory, Angry Accountant, and Splash Damage. Angry surprisingly took 2nd place, while Spash Damage went a disappointing 0-2, and 60 Seconds went 2-2.
STEAM Fest
Angry Accountant took first place at STEAM Fest right here in our back yard. Thanks Casey and Zach for putting on such an enjoyable, laid back event!
RoboGames 2017
Competed with Angry Accountant, at RoboGames, earning one win and two losses. Headed out w/ Chad from Team Wazio. Had a blast hanging out with the West Coasters!
Motorama 2017
Headed out to Motorama for the first time since 2007. Spectated, did some judging, and met up with a lot of people both old and new. Had a great time, and only added to the desire to build and compete.
Critter Crunch 2016
Sister Christian managed a 2nd place win at Critter Crunch 2016. There was a large and tough field of competitors, a few technical problems, but all worked out well in the end.
