Twin Cities Mech Wars III Competition

On January 19-20th I brought Thunderbolt to St Paul, MN to compete in the Twin Cities MechWars.

After two days of intense robot combat, I was lucky enough to get first place! This was my first robot combat, and it was a blast!

The crew @ TCMW (Richard, Jon, and everyone) made the event great! I got to see some real kick ass robots, Team Whyachi, Tortoise, Pharmapack, just to name a few. Not to mention our own group Mike with No Bull, and Dick with New Cruelty. We are very fortunate to have another world class competition so close to home.

I fought against some great bots, and had some real "lucky" judge's decisions to win the Middleweight division. I found out some things I can do better for my bot, and will be making some minor changes!

We all met some great people, and the fans were wonderful, I can't wait till the next TCMW!

BattleBots 5.0 watch out! Killerbotics will be bringing down the house!
