Finally some good news. Loved Battlebots back in the day, I just hope there will be less bots that do nothing but flip the other one over.
From my limited understanding of the rc battle scene, the current meta is spinning kinetic weapons. Just get a hunk of metal spinning fast and go to town.
I do wish that there was a larger variety in designs and weaponry, but I'm not complaining about seeing shredded bot bits flying across the arena.
Even the Micro-bot scene is getting interesting as rc parts get cheaper and cheaper. The bar to enter is lowering daily. I'm thinking about ordering some things so my wife and I can have little driveway matches with flippers and grabbers. She wants a spinner but I don't want to break the bank buying replacement parts...
Once you start doing spinners you are in "maybe we should have a box to fight in" because the other option is getting a shard of metal in the leg.
