If you're interested in robot combat, there's a huge event going on in Pennsylvania this weekend! The broadcast won't be as polished as #Battlebots or #nhrl, but the fighting will be very good. You can check out most of the fights here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu3u3F26A5Y

At NHRL, our first event of the year is always for bots that have never competed at NHRL before.

This year, it was amazing.

We're in the afterglow period of post Christmas where the house is covered in half-played board games and almost finished STEM construction kits. School is still out & every day is a breadth of possible activities. 😊

This year's big winner for the kids was a #BattleBots arena and several little customizable #RC bots that smash eachother (after watching a full season of the show as a family last month). Big fun! #parenting

So happy and relieved that the event that has consumed my life for the past two months, Havoc All-Stars, has been received so well! It's the best event we've ever done.

Last night was the first night of Havoc All-Stars, and it was amazing. I’ve had more of a hand in more parts of this event than just about any other NHRL event, and I’m quite relieved that it’s been going really well!

If you’ve never seen an NHRL event before, last night’s or tonight’s broadcast are excellent places to start.

Here is tonight’s video, on the air at 7 pm EST: https://www.youtube.com/live/J8v3GtZ2Imk?si=vSQrYFigrymytUDs

So, being out of board games for the last couple of years, what have I been doing?

Roomba roulette

a Roomba robot vac with six $100 bills on it and a chef's knife taped to it moves around in a small enclosed area where there are 3 balloons (green, orange, pink). players choose their balloon color and the last balloon to remain un-popped wins the money on the Roomba.

Final is #FreeShipping v #Gigabyte.

😜 Gigabyte caught fire after the last match, a delayed reaction from a battery short. They've rebuilt, but...

Flip side, Gigabyte is DANGEROUS, even in iffy shape. 😜

But, Free Shipping is no pushover.

Go!

🤣🤣🤣🤣😜🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was impressive.

#BattleBots and a #cat 🐈.
It was a good Friday night.

Whiplash and Black Dragon 🐉.
🤯 ⛏️

What a couple of brutes!

I was lucky to have #ChinnyTheCat watch some of it with me.

My #FelineFriday night is coming along great w/
#BattleBots and #pizza. 🍕 Glad the work week is done.

I really enjoy all the 😸 BattleBots teams. It's really hard to pick a favorite. But I have to say I do enjoy the gritty Kitty #madcatter 🐈

#ChinnyTheCat and I were watching some 2019 #BattleBots earlier today.

But of course he was paying more attention to birds outside.

I couldn't just post Goofy pictures of him...

We really need more #battlebots people on this-here site.

I have been sitting on Shreddit Bro's run for a year. It was amazing watching it during filming, and was no less amazing watching now! It's so good to see the 250lb bot finally run as well as the 3lb bot did during its heyday. #battlebots

FYI, I saw most of the fights in-person for the upcoming #battlebots Champions mini-series starting tomorrow evening.

I can tell you that tomorrow's episode is going to be ridiculously good.

Watch it, you won't be disappointed!

For those of you who wonder why I'm so into robot fighting, this fight we had on Saturday should hopefully explain it all. Easily the best fight we had all year, and I think everyone in the crowd was standing by the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OAqqwyeS6o #battlebots #nhrl

gilhova, 7 months ago to random

If you're at all interested in #battlebots or things that go boom, #nhrl is this Saturday, starting at 9 am EDT. It's the last chance for competitors to qualify for our Championships in November, and we have competitors from as far as Brazil, Ecuador, and Australia.

I've been working nonstop to make this a huge event, and I truly have no idea how it's going to go down!
