One of the best Battlebots moments. When he found out his next opponent was gonna have a flying drone, he went to Home Depot and bought a big rake.

I doubt a drone that could lift that much weight would comply with whatever rules they have for drone size/weight. Does make me wonder if throwing some rope or nets on some of the more elaborate spinners would accomplish something though.

This came up once. I think it might have even been the same team that bought the rake.

A guy sent his bot in with a wrapped "present" for the other bot. The other bot went right for it and destroyed the box to reveal inside it was a net that immediately jammed up his weapon. Then they stopped the fight and untangled it and restarted because apparently nets are against the rules.

Ah, here we go:

So, I need to stock up on nets is what you're telling me...interesting.

I can see why they're banned because they seem tremendously effective

Doesn't go down the one that's just a 100-foot drop. Coward.

Supposedly Red Bull sponsored it at Atlantis Dubai when they had the park drained for maintenance.

That makes sense there are basically no rules in Dubai if you have money.

Boy, that takes me back...

I remember when I was younger and I did something like this. Just running around on the roof and hood of our family station wagon, having a grand old time. Dodging my dad when he tried to catch me, giggling hysterically.

And then my dad opened the back, got out the jumper cables, and beat me with them.

Good times.

This came about because UPN had WWE wrestling at the time, and it was a network-driven crossover. Seriously.
